If you’re looking to create a powerful team by signing promising young players in EA Sports FC 26, focusing on potential is more important than adding the top current left midfielders (LMs). While you may aim for some of the best young left-wingers to strengthen your attack, these players aren’t always classified as LMs. The following are some of the best promising young LMs worth signing in EA FC 26, no matter which team you’re managing.
Note: Players whose main position is LW are not included. Only players aged 21 or younger are considered.
Tidiam Gomis
Overall Rating: 68
Age: 19
Team: RB Leipzig
Gomis is one of two talented young LMs from RB Leipzig. After three years of growth, he’s ready to develop further. Though his starting overall is below 70, if you dedicate time to his development, he could turn into a key player. If you don’t have time to develop him, loans are an option, but better alternatives exist if you’re looking for immediate impact.
Jesus Rodriguez
Overall Rating: 74
Age: 19
Team: Como
Rodriguez, from Como, is one of the prominent young talents among LMs. While he might not be the most advanced at his club, his solid 74 starting rating makes him a great choice for smaller teams. At 19, with regular playtime and development, he can significantly rise to his potential, becoming a well-rounded young player.
Wisdom Mike
Overall Rating: 61
Age: 17
Team: Bayern Munich
Potential: 85
Mike is a long-term project, but he has the potential to surpass Rodriguez. His 85 potential at just 17 makes him one of the most exciting young LMs. It typically takes three to four years of development, but if managed well, he could become a top player in future seasons.
Malick Fofana
Overall Rating: 78
Age: 20
Team: OL (Olympique Lyonnais)
Fofana is a near-complete player at 20, with an overall just below 80. He’s close to reaching his peak quickly—probably within his first year as a starter—making him suitable for immediate contribution. His balance of skills means he can develop faster, especially with standout performances in French league matches.
Jean-Matteo Bahoya
Overall Rating: 75
Age: 20
Team: Frankfurt
Bahoya is known for his incredible speed. His 75 overall is promising, and he is expected to develop rapidly, potentially reaching an 86 at his ceiling. He may cost over $15 million now, but investing early in his talent will pay off as he becomes one of the most dangerous young LMs in football. Watch out for his quick development at Frankfurt.
Assane Diao Diaoune
Overall Rating: 76
Age: 20
Team: Como
Diao Diaoune is another quick winger with immense finishing ability. His impressive pace and 76 overall rating make him one of the top young talents worldwide. Coming from Como, he’s available for about $20 million and can develop into a top player with the right management.
Antonio Nusa
Overall Rating: 76
Age: 20
Team: RB Leipzig
Nusa surpasses Gomis in potential, boasting an 88 ceiling. His current 76 rating means he needs a few years of growth. Although it might require more effort to develop him fully, he could become an elite contributor in the future, especially after two years of seasoning.
Rio Ngumoha
Overall Rating: 68
Age: 17
Team: Liverpool
Ngumoha owns the title of the best young LM in world football, thanks to his impressive 88 potential at just 17. While he may need a couple of years before becoming a regular starter for a top-tier club like Liverpool, smaller clubs can utilize him much sooner. His speed and dribbling make him a player to develop carefully.
These young LMs are among the most promising talents to keep an eye on in EA Sports FC 26. With appropriate development, many of them can evolve into some of the finest players in their position worldwide.
