Best Strikers to Sign in EA FC 25 Career Mode for Cheap

The buzz around the upcoming EA FC 25 is already at fever pitch despite us being 2 months from the official release date. From new features such as FC IQ and Career Mode updates to the new tactical tweaks, gamers are in for one of the best EA FC games to date — of course, since FIFA 13.

What’s more, it gets even better if you are a Career Mode enthusiast. EA FC 25 will now trace more real-world data that will allow you to manage a team in its league’s current form. Besides, gamers will be able to play Rush Mode and use playable football Icons in your career mode while getting transfer rumors from Fabrizio Romano.

That said, the fun in Career Mode comes from finding new gems and integrating them into your team before pushing them to glory. With that in mind, we’ve highlighted 5 new striker gems you can find on the cheap in EA FC 25.

5 Young Forwards Gems to Buy in EA FC 25 Career Mode

Amidst the current worries that EA FC FUT has borrowed numerous mechanics from online casinos, such as those listed on Bonus Focus, Career Mode remains true to gaming culture.

Buying the best Wonderkids right before they reach their full Career Mode potential is always fulfilling. Here are a few to look out for once EA FC 25 launches.

1. Nelson Weiper

Currently contracted to Bundesliga side FSV Mainz 05, Weiper is one of the best young strikers emerging in Germany. He is unknown to many since he only made a handful of appearances for Mainz in the 23/24 season. However, still only 19 years old and with a rating of 66, you can buy Weiper from Mainz 05 for a mere €2.4M. Better yet, his weekly wages of €3k are also quite low, making him quite a bargain.

What about his potential? He is predominantly right but has a 3-star rating for a weak foot, which isn’t bad for a 19-year-old. Besides, his finishing of 71 and strength of 74 indicate that his base-on-pitch abilities are okay. EA FC projects that you can raise his overall rating to 86.

2. Evan Ferguson

Ferguson was one of the stand-out performers in De Zerbi’s Brighton in the 23/24 EPL season, scoring six goals. The 19-year-old Irish striker is only valued at £9M and has weekly wages of £34k.

He is predominantly right-footed and has a 3-star weak foot. Some of his standout attributes are positioning and finishing rated at 77 and 78 respectively. His strength and jumping makes him lethal in the air which makes him a must-have if your tactics involve lots of crosses into the box. Besides, Ferguson’s sprint speed of 74 isn’t bad for a player his size. His current overall rating of 74 is projected to reach 86.

3. Elye Wahi

Wahi had a breakthrough 23/24 season as RC Lens returned to the EUFA Champions League after a 20-year hiatus. The 21-year-old French right-footed striker is currently rated 78 and is valued at £25.5M with weekly wages of £27.5k.

What stands out about Wahi is his pace. Already rated at 87 with an acceleration of 88, Wahi has pace to burn. His 81 finishing, 86 volleying, and 79 dribbling make him one to check out in EA FC 25 updated ratings. Besides, he has a 4-star weak foot and is a 4-star in skills. His potential EA FC rating is 84.

4. Benjamin Sesko

Lanky at 6’ 4’’ and with frightening pace, Sesko is currently valued at only £15M with £32.5k weekly wages. The Slovenian is contracted to Bundesliga side RB Leipzig and has an EA FC overall rating of 76.

Sesko’s 77 finishing is also quite good, and his finesse shot is way above the indicated rating. In a season or two, he can improve his overall rating to 89, with a value of over £200M. The finishing and pace can also rise to 92 and 96, respectively. These stats make Sesko one of the best hidden gems featured in EA FC 25.

5. Yeremy Pino

We had to include a luxury signing in the list. Yeremy Pino has a value of €37M and weekly wages of €27K. Almost a forgotten gem following an injury-ridden 23/24 season, Y. Pino’s rapid play style makes him a must-have in your Career Mode.

His breakout season for Villareal under Unai Emery in La Liga’s 22/23 season saw his rating jump from 72 to 79. His dribbling attributes of 81 are high, while his finishing is 79. Pino also has a strong 4-star weak foot and a high attacking work rate, allowing him to play RM and LW. His rating is projected to reach 87 once he hits his peak.

The good thing about these young strikers is that they will attract higher transfer fees within two seasons, which should boost your budget, especially if you manage a small team.
