Wonderkid Goalkeepers

Goalkeepers are the final line of defence for your team, and you'll need to pick players with quick reflexes and strong physicality if you want to make it far. All of the options below fit the bill.

Wonderkid CBs

Centre-backs are essential for stopping attacks as the foundational defenders of your team. To keep the opposition from scoring goals, take a look at the options below - we've got a few varying choices, from Karim Coulibaly (great at tackles) to Jon Martin, if you want to win defensive aerial duels.

Wonderkid LBs and RBs

These full-backs are our preferred picks for their ability to cover ground at pace and flexibility at launching attacks from deep. A healthy supply of stamina also will go far, as is the case with Alberto Costa.

Wonderkid CDMs

We've selected some players with great passing and dribbling skills here, along with reliable all-rounders like Victor Froholdt. Acceleration and stamina are also good values to assess when building these bulwarks of your team.

Wonderkid CAMs

We're looking for good dribbling and passing stats with this bunch, along with more creative skills like Inventive that can help you create chances against opposing midfielders.

Wonderkid Wingers

Good wingers need to have high stats in pace, and dribbling doesn't hurt either. Assane Diao's a good example of a player here that will shine if you can afford him.

Wonderkid Strikers

When it all comes down to the line, your team will fall apart if you don't have a solid striker to score you some goals. There are quite a few Wonderkids in FC 27's roster who can make for good strikers, but we selected this lot for their physicality and aerial abilities.

Wonderkid Female Players

If you're keen on getting through Career Mode with a women's team, take a peek at these female players, all of whom are exploding with potential.
