EA Sports tipped 25 wonderkids to achieve great things in the world of football and it proved to be a mixed bag.

EA Sports tipped 25 wonderkids to dominate football back in FIFA 16, with plenty of household names featuring in a mixed list.

On the popular Career Mode, the gaming giants put together a list of the players with the most potential in the game - with anyone playing the game implored to sign them and see their overall ratings increase massively.

Over on TikTok, user @footbal.ea has got fans feeling incredibly nostalgic by sharing some of the talents predicted to dominate in the future. There were a host of gems who were lesser known but the list also included big hitters like Aymeric Laporte, Marquinhos, Kepa Arrizabalaga, John Stones, Julian Brandt, Paulo Dybala, Raheem Sterling and Memphis Depay.

Some had enormous potential which was then realised, while others did not quite live up to hype.
