One area of the pitch that cannot be overlooked in EA FC is out wide.
Whether playing Ultimate Team or Career Mode, it’s essential to have talented, skilful and, most importantly, quick wingers. Fortunately, there are plenty to choose from on the right-hand side in EA FC 25.
Finding a talented winger is a good start but it’s even better if you can identify one with the potential to blossom into a world-beater in the future – especially on Career Mode where youth and potential are king.
To save you a little time, here are the best young players aged 23 or under who can play on the right wing based on confirmed ratings, leaks and rumours.

Our list of wonderkid wingers includes any player that features as a RW or RM in EA FC 25 as either their starting or alternate position. That gives us plenty of wiggle room to give you the best whippersnappers already tearing up the modern game.
It’s little surprise to see who tops our list of wide men aged 23 and under, with Bukayo Saka of Arsenal leading the way. The English superstar has been on everyone’s radar for several years and is 87-rated – four overall higher than his teammate Gabriel Martinelli.
The Premier League only boasts two other players within the top 20, with Chelsea’s Cole Palmer (85) and Manchester City’s Jeremy Doku (80) both capable of residing on the right wing.
Rodrygo (86), Nico Williams (85) and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (85) are all exceptional young options on the flank, with their speed, skill and quality finishing making them a full-back’s nightmare. While Jeremie Frimpong is traditionally a wing-back, the 84-rated Dutch international is also a speedy tormentor of defences.
In terms of women’s football, Chelsea’s Lauren James is the leading candidate with an 86 overall rating. One of the Women’s Super League’s young aces, she can feature on the right and as an attacking midfielder. That’s pretty handy.
The fleet-footed Trinity Rodman comes in at 84 overall but you have to jump down to 82 for the next female players in the top 20. Real Madrid star Athenea del Castillo and Wolfsburg’s Icelander Sveindis Jane Jonsdottir are the next best options.
