Leeds United have a number of promising young players on FIFA 17.
Elland Road
This week, EA Sports release the latest title in the FIFA franchise, as FIFA 17 hits the shelves around the world.
One of the most popular modes on the game is Career Mode, where fans can take over their favourite clubs and manage them for up to 15 years.
The mode revolves around growing and developing a team over the years, with each player given a ‘potential’ rating that they can reach during Career Mode.
With that in mind, here are Leeds United’s top Under-21 talents on FIFA 17 with regards to their potential ratings, as seen on sofifa.com…
Leeds United’s Alex Mowatt in action with Brentford’s Lasse Vibe
Alex Mowatt
Overall rating: 69
Potential rating: 78
Long seen as one of the top players coming up through the ranks, Mowatt may have stalled a little in real life, but he’s still one of Leeds’ main young players in FIFA 17. Mowatt has very little pace, so whilst he can play out wide, he may be better in an attacking midfield role. With exceptional crossing, passing, ball control, free kicks and long shots, Mowatt should be a dangerous weapon for many years in Career Mode.
Ronaldo Vieira
Overall rating: 63
Potential rating: 78
The brilliantly-named Ronaldo Vieira has become a first-team player under Garry Monk this season, and he should be an important player in the long-term in Career Mode. Just 17, Vieira already has a decent enough overall rating at 63, whilst his 78 potential means you can develop him over the years. At 5ft 9in and pace, stamina and technical ability, you could even develop Vieira into an N’Golo Kante-type player on FIFA 17.

Bailey Peacock-Farrell
Overall rating: 61
Potential rating: 77
Leeds have two established goalkeepers already in Robert Green and Marco Silvestri, but youngster Peacock-Farrell could be the first-choice of the future. His 77 potential is impressive, and whilst his 61 overall rating to begin with isn’t great, he will quickly improve with focused training in Career Mode.
Kalvin Phillips
Overall rating: 65
Potential rating: 76
Another young midfielder featuring under Monk this season is Kalvin Phillips, and the 20-year-old should be key on FIFA 17 too. Phillips possesses great strength, free kick accuracy and ball control from the start, and whilst his potential isn’t quite as impressive as Vieira’s, he should feature in the Leeds team if you attempt to take them back to the Premier league.

Lewie Coyle
Overall rating: 65
Potential rating: 75
Right back Coyle could be behind the higher-rated Luke Ayling and Gaetano Berardi upon starting Career Mode, but he has the highest potential of the three, so many be worth developing. Also able to play on the right of midfield, Coyle’s pace and defensive abilities make him a player worth keeping for the long-term.
