Our recommendations

  • Benajmin Sesko
  • Mathys Tel
  • Semih Kilicsoy

At just 21 years old, Benajmin Sesko is one of the hottest prospects in Europe right now and one of the best young strikers in EA FC 25. Although he has a fairly hefty price tag for a 79-rated player, his lofty 88 potential makes him a worthy investment if you’re managing a team with a big enough budget.

Mathys Tel is another well-known star with plenty of room to develop, but he costs significantly less than Sesko. Plus, with Harry Kane tearing up the Bundesliga, it shouldn’t be too hard to pry him away from Bayern Munich.

If you’re at a club that needs to be more careful with its money, then Semih Kilicsoy is the high-potential striker for you. Not only does he have an incredibly high ceiling if you’re willing to develop him, but he only costs around £6.5M, making him the best bargain on this list.

Players we recommend

  • Fares Chaibi
  • Sverre Nypan
  • Krisztian Lisztes

Although CF, LF, and RF have been mostly scrapped in FC 25 Career Mode, there are plenty of players in other positions who can develop into quality strikers. One of these is Rosenborg midfielder Sverre Nypan, who can be a force to be reckoned with through the middle with the right development plan.

The same can be said for Eintracht Frankfurt duo Fares Chaibi and Krisztian Lisztes. Both are CAMs with high dribbling and passing stats, but all it takes is a strong training plan to improve their shooting and transform them into world-beating forwards.
