Goalkeepers
Hugo Lloris (GK)
The Spurs keeper has struggled to make it into the starting line-up for Spurs in the premier league, but it will come as no surprise to most that this guy is one to watch. At the ripe old age of 25 years this player is someone who will be at the forefront of any team if you can snap him up early in your career. Be warned though, he wont come cheap, but thats the price you pay for potentially the best keeper on Fifa 13.

Marc-Andr ter Stegen (GK)
At only 20 years old Stegen should be one of the first players that managers look towards when searching for a young keeper to be the staple of the team between the sticks. From Borussia Monchengladbach (Bundesliga) the keeper may come at a price but hes not only younger than Hugo Lloris but he has the potential to be rated just as highly.

Wild Card Alessio Cragno (GK)
Alessio Cragno is probably a name that you are unfamiliar with, until now. From Brescia (Serie A), this young keeper can be a punt for some of the smaller teams without the millions offered from the likes of Man City, Real Madrid et all. Only 18 years of age there is plenty of time for this keeper to be snapped up but we recommend getting in early even if its just as a backup option.

Defenders
Alberto Masi (CB)
This is one of two very hot prospects that we recommend from Pro Vercelli (Serie B), the 19 year old centre back is a player that offers a huge bargain to those looking for a decent young defender. With enough game time we see Masi as becoming one of the most senior players in a squad during career mode.

Matija Nastasic (CB)
From Manchester City (EPL) the young Serbian centre back arrived at the City of Manchester Stadium quietly during the 2012 summer transfer window. With some caps for the national team already the 19 year old is already building quite a reputation and we have no reason to question why. Nastasic is a tall and dominant player who wont be easily pushed off the ball.

Wildcard Prince Desir Gouano (CB)
18 years of age and from the small club of Virtus Lanciano (Serie B), Gouano is easily got at and at an affordable price. Rated only 65 Gouano has the potential to get into the 80s and certainly worth a punt if you cant afford any of the big name players in the game.

Midfielders
Gabriel Appelt Pires (CDM)
The second player in our list from Pro Vercelli (Serie B) the 18 year old Brazilian is one that should not be left under the radar (seriously). For us we see Appelt as one of the first players you should be looking to buy within career mode. Rated only 66 when you first enter the career mode series he needs work, but after much game time this player will be your star man (Unless you have Messi or Ronaldo, but thats beside the point).

Nana Welbeck (CM)
Even for his name alone this should be an addition to your squad. Nana has the potential to be your centre midfield star. The Ghanaian U20 international can be found playing at Brescia (Serie A) and is of no relation to Daniel Welbeck at Manchester United (Although we do wish he really was his Nan).

Wildcard Leon Goretzka (CM)
17 years old and built like he is a senior player already. Leon Goretzka is a man that will win those headers in midfield and find the space on the edge of the box for you to hammer one home. Available from Vfl Bochum (Bundesliga 2), as with the other wildcards in this list, it will take time for you to see a return on the player but once he gets going he has the potential to be one of the best central midfielders on Fifa 13.

Surprise Extra Paul Pogba (CM)
There are so many high potential midfielders on the game that we had to include four, but believe me it is worth it. Paul Pogba might be a familiar name to most as at Manchester United he was rated very highly amongst the Trafford faithful. Now at Juventus (Serie A) Pogba has the ability to be one of the highest rated CM in Fifa 13, he wont come at a bargain price, but that is what you pay for quality.

Strikers
Lucas Domingues Piazon (LW)
As a Brazilian winger Piazon has much to live up to, and boy does he have the potential. Piazon has been a hot prospect in previous Fifa titles before and there is no change in Fifa 13. Now at high spenders Chelsea (EPL), Piazon might be a difficult purchase but if you can get him on your books you are guaranteed a future Fifa 13 star. The player can play on either wing or as a ST giving you that unlimited attacking possibility from the 18 year old wonderkid.

Stephan El Shaarawy (CF)
Go to Milan (Serie A), take one look at this Centre Forward and tell us that this player is not quality. No? Didnt think so. El Shaarawy is a goal scorer and one of the finest gems on the game. He will come with a huge asking price, but he is worth it. Banging in goals with this fella is much easier than trying to pronounce his name.

Wildcard Samed Yesil (ST)
There has been much talk over the Liverpool attacking force recently in the real world, but the future is very bright with this youngster in the squad. The 18 year old U19 German International has been scoring goals for fun at youth level and always seems to find the right place at the right time. Hes placed in as a wildcard as he will take time to bloom, but once he has he will be a great option within side your attacking ranks.
