As you might expect, Mbappe tops the list when it comes to highest potential in Careers.

You won’t be able to make cover star Kylian Mbappe, or any other pre-loaded player, into an OP 99 OVR machine in FIFA 22. But the PSG star, who starts at a 91 already, can advance to eventually become a 95 — higher than anyone else.

That’s not to say there’s not plenty of talent just waiting to be unlocked though. Take a look at Barcelona winger Ansu Fati, who starts at a measly 76, but can be brought up to a 90 OVR eventually with the right training, not too shabby.
