Best Young and Cheap Players in FIFA 21 Career Mode

When you first venture out on a new career in FIFA 21, you will have the option to either start with a world-renowned club or a lower-tier club that will need to be built up. As fun as it is to go with a team like PSG, Manchester United and go all out for the most expensive players on the market, it can sometimes be more rewarding to take a bottom-feeding club and turn them into perennial contenders.  

However, taking on a less valuable club will also mean that you will have less money to attract top-level talent. Therefore you must find the best players, with the most potential, for the lowest price. When compiling this list, we chose to review players that are young, talented, and cheap and carry the potential to evolve into top-tier footballers. So, these youngsters are low investment-type acquisitions that you can grow into world-class footballers (given the proper training and development). Let’s take a look at the best young and cheap players in FIFA 21 Career Mode.
