FIFA 22 Best Young Strikers: You MUST sign these insane talents in Career Mode


We all know the two strikers you really want to be signing on FIFA 22 Career Mode, with Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland clearly the cream of the crop.

However, sometimes your budget won't stretch that far, which is perfectly fine, as there are plenty more top talents that can guarantee goals for your club.

Take a look at who the best young strikers to sign on FIFA 22 Career Mode are below, bring them to your club, then thank us later.

Defining Best Young Strikers

These strikers (either ST or CF) will all be aged 23 or under at the start of FIFA 22 Career Mode.

They will be expensive but should be worth the cash if they lead your attack from the best part of a decade.

Kylian Mbappe (OVR 91 - POT 95)

Age: 22

Position(s): ST, LW

Club: PSG

Value: £167 million (Release clause: £321 million)

Wage: £198,000 a week

Good luck signing Kylian Mbappe on FIFA 22 Career Mode - but the Frenchman's contract does expire next summer.

If you act quickly, you could snap him up for less than his value, but we would expect PSG to tie the world's most valuable player to a long-term contract.

Erling Haaland (OVR 88 - POT 94)

Age: 20

Position(s): ST

Club: Borussia Dortmund

Value: £123 million (Release clause: £235 million)

Wage: £95,000 a week

Perhaps the hottest property on the transfer market, it's surely just a matter of time before Erling Haaland leaves Borussia Dortmund.

The Norweigan is continuing his astonishing goal record with BVB and looks destined to join one of the European heavyweights in the next 12 months.

Lautaro Martinez (OVR 85 - POT 89)

Age: 23

Position(s): ST

Club: Inter

Value: £67 million (Release clause: £119 million)

Wage: £125,000 a week

Another striker being mooted around the transfer market is Inter Milan's Lautaro Martinez, who bagged 17 goals and 10 assists in Serie A last season.

The 23-year-old linked up brilliantly with Romelu Lukaku in attack but now has to show he can do it without him.

Joao Felix (OVR 83 - POT 91)

Age: 21

Position(s): CF, ST

Club: Atlectico Madrid

Value: £71 million (Release clause: £159 million)

Wage: £52,000 a week

Not an out-and-out striker, but Joao Felix is still a highly dangerous forward.

Despite lifting the league title with Atletico Madrid last season, Diego Simeone may not be the perfect manager for £113 million man Felix - who scored just 10 goals last term in all competitions.

Dusan Vlahovic (OVR 82 - POT 89)

Age: 21

Position(s): ST

Club: Piemonte Calcio

Value: £54 million (Release clause: £99 million)

Wage: £67,000 a week

A man who's being touted as the next big thing, Dusan Vlahovic has already bagged himself a move to one of Europe's giants.

One of this season's most improved players in FIFA 22, Vlahovic has a whopping potential of 89!

Alexander Isak (OVR 82 - POT 86)

Age: 21

Position(s): ST

Club: Real Sociedad

Value: £39 million (£84 million)

Wage: £32,000 a week

Alexander Isak showed his class at Euro 2020 with some great performances for Sweden, backing up his 17-goal season for Real Sociedad.

Expect the 21-year-old to rip up La Liga for another season or two before a big move comes along.

Victor Osimhen (OVR 81 - POT 89)

Age: 22

Position(s): ST

Club: Napoli

Value: £50 million (Release clause: £96 million)

Wage: £61,000 a week

A useful first season in Italy for Victor Osimhen, with the Nigerian netting 10 goals in 24 Serie A matches.

His start to this season saw him bag loads of goals already, which meant his overall rating increased by +1, and his potential shot up to 89 OVR.

Jonathan David (OVR 80 - POT 86)

Age: 21

Position(s): ST

Club: Lille

Value: £29 million (£61 million release clause)

Wage: £31,000 a week

Another young forward who has risen up the ratings during the course of the season is Lille's Canadian sensation, Jonathan David.

One of Ligue 1's hottest properties, David boasts 83 Finishing and 84 Positioning to complement his excellent pace and stamina attributes.

Moise Kean (OVR 79 - POT 87)

Age: 21

Position(s): ST

Club: Piemonte Calcio (on loan from Everton)

Value: £34 million

Wage: £59,000 a week

Moise Kean is back to Piemonte Calcio, on loan from Everton, after a permanent move to PSG didn't materialise.

He never found form in a poor first season in the Premier League, but his goalscoring picked up with a move away to France, and he will be looking for a second chance to fulfil his potential.

Donyell Malen (OVR 79 - POT 85)

Age: 22

Position(s): ST

Club: Borussia Dortmund

Value: £25 million (Release clause: £47 million)

Wage: £48,000 a week

Does Donyell Malen's move to Borussia Dortmund pave the way for Erling Haaland to leave the club?

The 22-year-old has been snapped up for just £26 million, as BVB perform some more shrewd business.

Too pricey?

If you don't have the cash to bring in any of the strikers on this list, then look to the Best Wonderkid Strikers.

They have the potential to rival a lot of the above players but are nowhere near the cost.

All it will take is a bit of time to nurture them until they can also be world-class.

So put your management to the test, and try to develop more of an unknown player before showing them off on the world stage.
