The hottest name in world football right now, we all know this generational talent is going to be big. The only thing that's left to determine is just how big. Not since the days of Messi and Ronaldo's youth have we seen such a meteoric ascent. Winning the World Cup with France and being the world's 2nd most expensive player ever at just 19 years of age, who knows what the future has in store.
He's so young that he made his FIFA debut in 2017, where he had an overall of 71. This increased by an obscene 12 points for FIFA 18 (83 overall). This year, he's officially taken his place among the world's elite after scoring 21 and setting up 15 in 46 matches for PSG last season, all while taking home the World Cup's best young player award after scoring 4 goals at the event.
A key element of his game is his other-worldly speed, which was on full display in Russia. Who can forget how he obliterated Argentina's back line? EA has also recognized this, which is why his pace has gone up from a 90 to a 96, enough for the title of joint-fastest player in the entire game.
