Goals may be the deciding factor, but most football matches are won and lost in the center of the pitch. Signing one or two talented young central midfielders can therefore transform a team from also-rans into world-beaters; both in the real world and in the Career Mode of EA Sports FC 25.

The Best Young Central Midfielders for a Lower-League Team in EA FC 25 Career Mode
Lucas Bergvall is a solid option for lower-league managers, with the Spurs midfielder offering exceptional growth. Tygo Land, Enes Ogruce, and Trey Nyoni offer even more, although none of them have the potential to be quite as good as Bergvall.
The Best Young Central Midfielders for a Mid-Table Team in EA FC 25 Career Mode
Joao Neves is a Rolls-Royce of a center mid, but the young Portuguese starlet won't come cheap. Most mid-table managers will probably have to settle for the likes of Lewis Miley and Fermin, but Neves is well worth signing if one's transfer budget allows.
The Best Young Central Midfielders for a Top-of-the-Table Team in EA FC 25 Career Mode
PSG are pretty well-stocked when it comes to talented CMs with high potential, and Warren Zaire-Emery is about as talented as they come. Gavi and Camavinga also provide decent options, although players shouldn't expect to get either of them on the cheap.
