FIFA 18: 10 Players With The Most Potential For Growth

3. Christian Früchtl (Bayern Munich)

Other young goalkeepers like Gianluigi Donnarumma (12 points growth from 82 to 94), Alban Lafont (12 from 77 to 89), and Alex Meret (14 from 74 to 88) offer up various choices to those looking for a career-long option between the sticks in FIFA 18. Sadly, they also come at a premium due to their higher starting ratings.

17-year old Bayern Munich youth player Christian Früchtl doesn't have that problem. He is highly-rated by the Bavarian side, but his initial rating is a paltry 65. Do not let that put you off taking a punt on him, because Früchtl can become an 86-rated goalkeeper if you show some faith. He's actually not as bad as the 65 score might suggest.

Pay close attention to those numbers and you'll realise that Früchtl could potentially grow by 21 points overall, instantly making him one of FIFA 18's most promising youth stars. It may only be a matter of time before he starts replacing Manuel Neuer in real life, so get in there first and make him your #1.
