A young goalkeeper in Career Mode can actually work out as a long-term investment, even though keepers reach their peak later in life. Get one of these lads and you can fix the position for the next decade – maybe longer. 

Right-backs

With so many different styles of full-backs nowadays, it's important to find a right-back who suits your philosophy. These are your best bets, whatever style of play you operate with. 

Centre-backs

Young defenders need a lot of training to get up to an elite level – in real life and in FC 24. Most of the young defenders that you sign will be specialists in a specific position: work with them to improve and you could have a top-level baller in no time. 

Left-backs

A good left-back is arguably the hardest thing to find in football. These players are like unicorns for your FC 24 side, with plenty of potential upside.

Defensive midfielders

Defensive midfielder is a role that most players master later in their career. You can save yourself the money down the line, however, by investing in a strong DM now…

Central midfielders

Some midfielders in FC 24 are attack-minded, others more conservative. Complementing different styles off one another is key to your success and developing wonderkids who can improve together can be a recipe for a winning side. 

Attacking midfielders

Attacking midfielders tend to be the most creative players in football. These lads are the ones who sit ahead of the centre-mids and make things happen: it's worth signing one or two. 

Right-wingers

Right-wingers are, by and large, very creative left-footers who like to cut inside – and on this year's version of EA Sports FC, there's a variety of different right-wingers who have huge potential.

Left-wingers

FC 24 is spoiling us with exciting left-wingers. These are already some of the biggest stars in the world, with some huge names on the list this year in this position

Centre-forwards

We're all a sucker for a pacy frontman with decent skills and finishing. Most of these players can be retrained into most positions, given you freedom, fluidity and ferocity in your Career Mode side up front.
