Gianluigi Donnarumma is an excellent Wonderkid to pick as your Goalkeeper, he has the highest potential rating and is one of the best goal-stoppers in the game.
Atletico Madrid’s Jan Oblak is a wonder kid who comes in second place with a rating of 91 this year.
Porto’s Diogo Costa is a hidden gem of a goalkeeper with a potential rating of 86 if he is you develop him properly.
Also, Gavin Bazunu of Manchester City is a hidden gem who can be bought by the teams not in the top division because of his low current ability and age.
If you’re looking for cheaper players while still maintaining your team’s effectiveness, consider signing L Plogmann, J Markovic, or J Schendelaar in the career’s mode.

Matthijs de Ligt is a Wonderkid who signed with New Juventus making his current and potential ability understandable and justified, even for his real-life price tag.
Panagiotis Retsos of Bayer Leverkusen is the best young player and is also an excellent choice for the Defender position. He can play at all positions across the backline, his cost is the same as Diogo Dalot of Manchester United but they both are likely to be out of budget for the same club so pick either one of the two.
Or pair one of the two with Nuno Tavares of Benfica who is a cheaper option along with Kuno Mendes.

Kai Havertz and Jadon Sancho are the best young midfield players in FIFA 20 belonging to the Bundesliga club. They are also the club’s top two young players. But keep in mind they cost a lot, so pick between one or the other. They both have the same current and potential rating.
Thiago Almada is one of South America’s most entertaining and exciting young players who plays for Man City in real life. He can play up-front as well as on the wing at only 18 years of age with a value of £6m at the beginning of Career Mode, making him an excellent cheap option.

Kylian Mbappe, as expected is still considered one of the best players and has the potential ability to prove it with an overall rating of 89 at the beginning of Career Mode. Given his high stats not everyone will be able to afford him.
Joao Felix is the newest player at Atletico Madrid so he probably won’t be available to buy during the first transfer window but instead of him, you can maybe get Mason Greenwood of Manchester United at an affordable price as well who also has the potential to become a great striker in the game.
