What drives players to keep coming back to EA FC's Career Mode? For most of us, it's finding the best young talents, developing them and turning them into club legends.

The transfer market has been overhauled, and the competition is now getting in on the action. “Other clubs are now snatching players right from under your nose – the very ones you’ve just bid on,” says EA Sports producer Andreas Wilsdorf,.
That means knowing who you want early on – and being prepared to fight for those players – can make all the difference. Here, we introduce you to 11 young talents who are definitely worth fighting for.
