Equip Your Team

Gianluigi Donnarumma, of AC Milan and Italy, is the best young goalkeeper in the game reflecting his huge prominence in the game over the last few years. He is the only young goalkeeper with a rating of over 90 and his price in FIFA 19 scares off most potential suitors.

There are a lot of talented goalkeepers at the start of the game with a rating under 70, making it hard for the two to join your team straight away. But as the trend of the modern game insists keepers are as good with their feet as they are with their hands, you may want to examine their full list of attributes.

How about the best young Defenders?

NAME	AGE	CLUB	PO.	CR	PR	VA.
M de Light	18	Ajax	CB	80	91	£18m
T Alexander-Arnold	19	Liverpool	RB	78	88	£12.3m
D Upamecano	19	RB Leipzig	CB	76	88	£10.6m

A Bastoni	19	Inter	CB	67	87	£1.3m
Pablo Maffeo	20	Stuttgart	RWB, RM	78	86	£11.4m
N Mukiele	20	RB Leipzig	CB, RB, RWB	77	86	£10.6m
Eder Militao	20	Porto	RB, CB	75	86	£8.8m
J Kounde	19	Bordeaux	CB	73	86	£5.7m

Ajax defender Matthijs de Ligt is quite affordable, even as one of FIFA 19 Best Young Players, to those with a budget even though he is the most demanded defenders in the world football with a rating of 80.

The breakthrough of Trent Alexander-Arnold under Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool has made him the best young full-back in FIFA 19. With an opening value of over 12 million pounds, his value will only increase as time progresses, therefore if you are building a team in Career Mode and want a full-back who is strong both in attack and defense, look no further than Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Leon Bailey and Christian Pulisic are Bundesliga’s duo known around the world and their FIFA 19 values and their rankings as the FIFA 19 Best Young Players reflect this. They are ready at the start of the game as they are both first-team, as well as Bailey’s teammate Kai Havertz who can support the attack through the middle because he is a perfect young player.

Man City’s Phil Foden is also one to watch, with great technical ability and flexibility in terms of his position across the midfield.

Kylian Mbappe is a teenager with the highest potential and is rated as one of the FIFA 19 Best Young Players. Already a World Cup winner, he starts off at a rating of 87 but he can reach as high as 95 which is better than both Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi’s current rating. However, you will have to look elsewhere to find a front man like Mbappe, as it is impossible for most clubs to sign him due to his incredible value.

Conclusion
