Updated:

09 Feb 2020

These guys will provide the link between attack and defense that is so important on FIFA 20.

In football, a defender's job is to stop goals and an attacker's job is to score goals. But a midfielder has to stop and score goals and that is what makes the position so demanding and difficult to play. It’s also why you need great midfielders to win games on FIFA 20.

15. Gabriel Martinelli

Martinelli is a must for you on FIFA 20.

18-year-old Brazilian star Gabriel Martinelli has been one of the brightest sparks in a dreadful year for Arsenal. Martinelli looks like a future world class player who should definitely be one of your first signings on FIFA 20.

87 potential overall is very high.
86 sprint speed shows Martinelli has the pace to beat an opposition defender.
73 finishing shows that at just 18 Martinelli already knows where the goal is.

14. Serge Gnabry

Bayern star Serge Gnabry will grab you plenty of goals and assits.

After an awful season on loan at West Bromwich Albion, the carer of promising youngster Serge Gnabry looked dead and buried. Yet a few years later he has reached his potential and is a key player for the Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich. He could also be a star player for your FIFA 20 club.

At just 24 Gnabry still has room to grow and his potential rating of 87 shows just how good he can get.
An 83 volley rating means that if the ball is falling towards Gnabry’s killer right foot it is likely going to fall into the back of the net next.
83 positioning means Gnabry is always in the right place at the right time.

13. Goncalo Guedes

Guedes is a promising young midfielder.

Goncalo Guedes went from promising youngster to international superstar when he scored the winning goal for Portugal in the UEFA Nations League 2019 final. At 22, he already has a major trophy in his cabinet and is a proven winner that could help you get the gold on FIFA 20.

Guedes has an impressive potential overall rating of 87.
84 long shots make Guedes just as big a threat from outside the box as he is in it.

12. David Neres

Neres is a hidden gem on FIFA 20.

David Neres is a young Brazilian midfielder who may not be as common on FIFA 20 teams as other youngsters on this list. But he is still one for you to keep your eye on if you want an edge on your opponent.

A potential rating of 86 may not be the highest but it is still star player level.
5* skill moves mean Neres will easily get past your opponent’s defenders.
86 balance means Neres will rarely fall over. Which is a bad thing to do if you’re trying to score a goal.

11. Wilfred Ndidi

Do you need Ndidi? Indeed you do.

Leicester City are having a fantastic season this year yet they have slipped up recently with losses to Burnley and Aston Villa, which just happens to be games in which Ndidi was injured or unfit. This shows how important Ndidi is for them and could be for you on FIFA 20.

A potential rating of 88 means this 22-year-old could be shielding your defence brilliantly for years to come.
89 interceptions highlight why any opposition pass is unlikely to get through Ndidi.
88 standing tackle makes Ndidi an excellent tackler at just 22.

The Special One's latest special signing.

Steven Bergwijn’s potential to be a future world class football is widely known, and Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho has recognised this paying a massive £27 million to get him to join the London club. If ‘The Special One’ thinks Bergwijn is a football talent then so should you.

Bailey is the Jamaican player on FIFA 20.

It already feels like Jamaican star Leon Bailey has been around forever in the football world, as he has been scoring and assisting for fun in the Bundesliga for a few seasons now. Yet he is only 21-years-old and this just highlights how good Bailey could be, especially for you on FIFA 20.

Bailey has a massive potential rating of 88.

8. Mason Mount

Mason Mount is a Massive Must for a Magnificent Midfield.

Many fans were concerned for Chelsea and Frank Lampard when they were placed under a transfer ban last summer. However, there was no need as Lampard has led Chelsea to a fantastic season and part of that is all down to their youngsters being given a chance, such as Mason Mount. Lampard gave him a chance in real life and so should you on FIFA 20.

A potential overall of 87+ is very good.
Mount can play in multiple positions, including LW, meaning he is handy to have in an injury crisis.
76 free-kick accuracy makes Mount a threat off of set pieces.

7. Ousmane Dembele

Dembele's speed is a big asset on FIFA 20.

Ousmane Dembele has struggled since he joined Barcelona, but then anyone in the world would struggle to compete for a place in the team with the likes of Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez. Despite that, he has still scored 19 goals for the Spanish giants and on FIFA 20 he is one of the best youngsters in the game.

93 pace makes Dembele one of the fastest players in the game.
90 potential overall means Dembele could become an elite tier player.

3. Jadon Sancho

Dortmund's attacking starlet Jadon Sancho is a FIFA 20 wonderkid.

Many football fans doubted Jadon Sancho’s decision to leave Manchester City for Borussia Dortmund, but since his move, the 19-year-old has proved them wrong with ease. His 29 goals for the German outfit show how good he is already. Now just imagine him scoring those goals for you on FIFA 20.

2.Sandro Tonali

This Italian stallion is a midfield general.

19-year-old Sandro Tonali’s team Brescia may be in danger of getting relegated this season from Serie A, but that doesn’t mean that the young star has played poorly. In fact, he has done well and FIFA 20 has recognised this by giving him the potential to be a monster.

A potential overall of 91 shows just how good Tonali can become.
4* weak foot means Tonali is nearly as good with his left as he is his right.
81 long passing is very good for a 19-year-old, but just imagine how much better that can be if he can reach his potential.

Along with Mathijs De Ligt, Frenkie De Jong burst onto the football scene last season as part of Ajax’s incredible underdog story in the Champions League.
