FIFA 18: Top ten hidden gems revealed

Enter cap

FIFA 18 was launched successfully across all platforms a couple of days ago. All the player ratings, and any information that could have been important for the users were also finally revealed by EA.

Recently, a list of 11 young players with potential overall of 90+ also came out. These young bunch of players were referred to as 'wonderkids'. However, the wonderkids can be bought only if you have a hefty amount to spare, as a manager in the career mode of FIFA 18.

On the other hand, if you don't have too much money to throw around, you might want to take a look at this list in which we have arranged for you a list of young players, who you can use to build a strong League 2 team, and carry it all the way to being a top league club in the future. Even though you can always send scouts all around the world, that can prove to be a little hectic sometimes.

These young footballers are not popular, and it is possible that you haven't even heard their names. If it hadn't been for this list, these players would have been lost into obscurity.
