The Best Young Strikers for a Lower-League Team in EA FC 26 Career Mode
When it comes to pure growth, Blackburn Rovers forward Igor Tyjon is a great option for lower league clubs, with the seventeen-year-old striker offering +25 growth if properly nurtured. AC Milan striker Francesco Camarda doesn't provide quite as much, but has a much higher potential, with the Italian capping out at 87. Chido Obi is also a solid choice, assuming players can get him for a decent price.
The Best Young Strikers for a Mid-Table Team in EA FC 26 Career Mode
Endrick has the potential to become the second-best young striker in EA Sports FC 26's Career Mode, so those with the budget should do everything they can to sign him. In all likelihood, though, he'll be out of reach for most mid-table teams, who'll instead need to settle for the likes of Yoan Bonny, Romeo Vermant, and Karim Konate. All three still have great potential, so "settle" might not really be the right word there.
The Best Young Strikers for a Top-of-the-Table Team in EA FC 26 Career Mode
Those looking to hit the ground running should look no further than Erling Haaland and Endrick. Although incredibly expensive, signing them will ensure players have a top-tier strike force for the next decade or so, so just like in last year's installment, the pair are well worth the investment. Benjamin Sesko and Hugo Ekitike won't quite hit the same heights as those Haaland and Endrick, but they do offer a much more cost-effective alternative for those operating on a smaller budget.
