FIFA 20 Talents: The cheapest players with the greatest potential

FIFA 20: The best central defenders for your career (IV talents)
In FIFA 20, the defense has been revised so that active defending has become more important. That's why you need a solid central defense that stands stable even in career mode. You won't be able to afford the best IV players in FIFA 20 like Virgil van Dijk (Liverpool FC), Giorgio Chiellini (Piemonte Calcio) or Sergio Ramos (Real Madrid).
Instead, look for young IV talents who will grow into important cornerstones in the defense under your leadership. Here, too, you need to find cheap players who have great potential. In the following overview we show you the ten best players in defense in FIFA 20 career mode. Among them are Ibrahima Konaté and Dayot Upamecano (both RB Leipzig), who will also be among the most popular players in FIFA Ultimate Team due to their perfect green link.
Player name (age) | Club | Position | Rating | Potential |
Niklas Süle (24) | FC Bayern Munich | IV | 85 | 90 |

Don't forget that it's not enough to just buy young players and wait until their rating improves automatically. All FIFA 20 talents will only reach their full potential if you train them regularly and they perform well in many matches.
The best FIFA 20 talents without transfer fee & youth work
However, you don't always have to spend a lot of money to secure outstanding talents. Instead, you can start working with the youth at your new club as soon as possible and develop your own top talents, which you can later sell at a high price. In addition, always be on the lookout for unattached players. As long as they are not much older than their early 20s and have a solid development potential, go for it.
Because you have nothing to lose, right? Either the young talents develop into important players for your team or you sell them on at a profit. Because you didn't have to pay for the signing of the unattached FIFA 20 tal ents anyway. In addition, you can sign clubless players at any time without being bound to the transfer market.
For the development of the best talents it is important that you complete a training session in every week of the career mode in FIFA 20. To do this, you'll choose five players from your team and assign them training tasks that fit their position. This will improve their stats bit by bit, which will also be reflected in their overall rating over time. If you're good at the skill games, you'll take over the training yourself.
Alternatively, you can have the training sessions simulated, whereby the results are then influenced by chance. The younger the FIFA 20 talent is, the better the increased values will be. The bottom line is that it's up to you to decide whether you want to quickly develop especially young talents to boost your club's coffers or develop them into cornerstones of your FIFA 20 Career Mode team.

Adam Hlozek (17) | Sparta Prague | RF | 70 | 86 |

Rodrygo (18) | Real Madrid | LF / RF / ST | 76 | 89 |
Argentine Augustin Urzi and Pedro De La Vega in particular will not be on many players' radar. Both talents are strong outfield players with high sprinting speed. Most opposing outside defenders don't stand a chance against the lightning fast wing talents.
