What is Potential?
Potential, in Fifa 19, is the predicted maximum overall rating of the player, which can be achieved if a player is played and trained in the right way. It is important to know this fact that high potential doesn't guarantee that a player will reach that level. For a player to achieve his potential he must be given regular game time and must attend training sessions frequently.
Scouting and uncovering potential wonderkids have been one the best features of FIFA's Career Mode and this year is no different.
Signing a big name is always satisfying but finding a youngster who can become a world- beater after a few seasons is even more exciting. It doesn't matter whether you are managing a champions league contender or rebuilding a team, these players can be game changers for any team. Nothing captures a football fan's attention quite like highly talented prodigies.
