Central defense is an area where players usually grow into the role with time, but there are still a couple of players who are more than capable  EA FC 24 Coins of coming into the team and immediately making an impression. For starters, Andreas Christensen of Chelsea and Davinson Sanchez are both in the 80s for their overall rating, before growing to 89 and 88 respectively. Those with a little more patience can turn to Malang Sarr of OGC Nice, or Matthijs de Ligt of Ajax, and both are only a few points off being worthy of a start in a top tier defense.

Those after a bargain, and who are willing to spend the time to train up young players, also have options. Alessandro Bastoni of Atalanta has a potential rating of 84 - a bump of 20 points from his initial rating - while Dayot Upamecano of RB Leipzig is also a more-than-solid option, with the potential to grow to a rating of 86.

The full-back positions are often some of the trickiest to fill, but those who have struggled to find a suitable left back in recent years will find plenty of options available this time around. Although Grimaldo from Benfica is perhaps the best option for those after an immediate impact, there are several other left-backs with an exciting future ahead of them in Career Mode. Ryan Sessegnon of Fulham and Cucurella of Barcelona B both have a potential of 85. while Gian-Luca Itter of Wolfsburg and Carmine Setola of Cesena reach the mid-80s too.

Things get a little trickier when it comes to right back, but there are some options available regardless. Kelvin Amian Adou, from Toulouse FC, is most likely the pick of the bunch, but there's also Timothy Fosu-Menash for those who have a greater focus on English football.

There's one option for goalkeeper who stands head and shoulders above the competition and that's Gianluigi Donnarumma. The Milan goalkeeper has doubled down on his FC 24 young player potential, now sitting pretty on an overall rating of 82 and a potential rating at a whopping 94. This makes Donnarumma one of the best players in the game - if that hefty transfer fee is affordable.

There are other options available, although they do not quite reach the same heights. Alban Lafont of Toulouse has a potential rating just shy of the 90s, while Christian Fruchtl of  EA Sports FC 24 Coins Bayern Munchen is a great option for those watching the pennies, with a growth of 21 points to help the player reach a potential of 86.
