Barcelona’s young LB Alejandro Balde tops the charts in FC 25. While his initial rating of 81 isn’t as high as already established players like Josko Gvardiol or Alphonso Davies, EA clearly thinks he’s got a bright future ahead of him as he’s set to eclipse everyone to net himself a tidy 89 rating in a few seasons’ time.

If you’re on a shoestring budget, there are a few decent options for you as well. Lewis Hall and Valentin Barco both have a starting rating of 73 but will grow into the mid-80s over time. Even cheaper than them, however, are Harry Amass, Adam Anzou and Octavio Ontivero. Their low-60s ratings and mid-80s potential mean they can be picked up on the cheap and grow with your team over the years.
