FIFA 20: Best wingers to sign on Career Mode for every budget
FIFA 21 is fast approaching but that doesn’t mean we’re done with FIFA 20 just yet and Career Mode provides a way to keep the game fresh deep into the season.
And for those wishing to win virtual titles, you need the right players for your squads and wingers are just as key as strikers and defenders in FIFA 20.
While many people on FIFA 20 do like to try and play “proper” football, passing the ball around and moving it up through the centre of the pitch, you can’t take away the importance of wing play.
If you play with a lone striker, you need wingers to be able to get the ball into the box. Whether it’s through pace and trickery or having magical crossing abilities, wingers can make or break a good team.
Just look at the impact the likes of Lionel Messi and Eden Hazard have had on title-winning teams in the past. But who is the best winger for you and your budget on FIFA 20 Career Mode?
We’ve taken a look at some of the best options across an array of transfer fees to make your job just a bit easier. We only ask for some recognition in your press conferences after the league has been won.

FIFA 20 best wingers to sign on Career Mode – Under £1m
Marouan Azarkan (Feyenoord)
It seems FIFA 20 agrees on the importance of wingers, as there aren’t too many cheap options that would significantly add to a team on a budget. But one who does is Marouan Azarkan.
Marouan Azarkan has respectable finishing and decent dribbling which will only improve with time.
The 18-year-old starts FIFA 20 with an overall rating of 62 and also boasts 71 dribbling and 85 agility, with 78 pace. For his level and position, Azarkan also has respectable finishing of 58 and crossing of 54, which will only improve if you get him to his potential overall of 81. If Azarkan is your man, you can get him from Feyenoord for just under his value at £520k.
Sontje Hansen (Ajax)
Staying in the Eredivisie, Arjen van der Heide represents a right-wing option for cheap, who could grow.
Sontje Hansen has the potential to be a gem on the wing.
The 17-year-old has an initial rating of 63 and uses his nimble frame to run around opponents. At 5’9″, the Dutchman has 68 dribbling and 77 balance, which works well alongside his 83 pace on either wing. Hansen also has the potential to rise to 84 overall, turning into a decent player at a lower level. He is valued at £725k at the start of Career Mode and Ajax will accept around £750k.
FIFA 20 best wingers to sign on Career Mode for £1m-£10m
Antonio Marin (Dinamo Zagreb)
Moving slightly up the price range quickly, Antonio Marin represents a good option on both wings without breaking the bank.
Antonio Marin represents a good option on both wings, having a four-star weak foot rating.
The Dinamo Zagreb man, who is capable of playing on both the right and left, starts with an overall of 67 and has 73 dribbling and four-star skill moves, already posing a big threat to opposition defenders. Not only that, but Marin also has four-star weak foot which means you won’t have to waste too much time trying to cut onto his favoured side. Marin can be bought for his value at £1.4m and he is certainly worth it, potentially rising to 84.
Jeremy Doku (Anderlecht)
Anderlecht are known for being one of the best talent factories in Europe, and they have another gem on their hands in Jeremy Doku.
Anderlecht’s Jeremy Doku may be one of the best young wingers in FIFA 20, blessed with pace and potential.
Doku, 17, has an initial rating of 69 but already has 90 pace and 92 balance, meaning it’ll be pretty tough for opponents to get the ball off of him. The Belgian can also be a threat in the air, despite his 5’7″ frame, boasting 88 jumping – although his strength of 46 may be a slight hindrance. The biggest selling point, though, may be Doku’s potential overall rating of 87. The right winger is valued a £1.9m, but you’ll have to fork out a little extra at £2m.
Pedro de la Vega (Club Atletico Lanus)
If you have a little bit more money to play with, it might be worth taking a trip to Argentina to look at Pedro de la Vega.
Pedro de la Vega can become a top winger in the game, rising to 85 overall.
Plying his trade for Club Atletico Lanus, the teenager kicks FIFA 20 off with an initial rating of 70 – meaning he is already a decent addition for lower league teams. His 86 pace and 77 dribbling will be vital as you advance down the wings and, like Marin, De la Vega is capable of playing on either flank. With a potential of 85, De La Vega can become a top winger, so act early as he can be snapped up for around £5m
Fernando (Shakhtar Donetsk)
Another solid wing option without breaking the bank is Brazilian winger Fernando, currently playing for Shakhtar Donetsk in Ukraine.
Fernando has electrifying pace and solid dribbling, making him a danger on the left.
The 20-year-old is 72-rated but has an electrifying pace of 86 and solid dribbling of 78, making him a danger on the left wing. His crossing isn’t too bad either, at 62, but that will only improve if he reaches his potential overall of 84. Fernando, who recently returned to Shakhtar Donetsk, can be bought for around £6m.
FIFA 20 best wingers to sign on Career Mode for £10m-£20m
Callum Hudson-Odoi (Chelsea)
Moving up to the slightly more expensive players, one man you should look to secure early is Callum Hudson-Odoi.
Callum Hudson-Odoi’s potential growth makes him a must buy early on.
The teenager starts FIFA 20 with an initial rating of 74 but already has 82 dribbling and 67 finishing to go with his 85 pace. Four-star skill moves also ensure Hudson-Odoi will be causing serious problems down both wings. But perhaps the biggest selling point is his potential to rise to 88 – a jump of 14 if you use him right. Despite Bayern Munich offering close to £40m for the teenager in real life, his value on FIFA 20 career mode starts at £10.5m. Chelsea will push for around £13m, but at that price it’s still a steal for someone of Hudson-Odoi’s potential.
Calvin Stengs (AZ Alkmaar)
An exciting young talent, Netherlands international Calvin Stengs can be one to boost your Career Mode save.
Calvin Stengs will be a good creative option from the right wing.
The 21-year-old starts with an initial rating of 76, consisting of 83 ball control, 77 short passing and 72 long passing. His pace is 77, but Stengs may be more of a creative option from the right wing, rather than one to destroy opponents with his pace. Like most others on this list, Stengs has the potential to grow, reaching a rating of 86 overall – also coming with four-star skill moves. He is valued at £12.5m and though AZ Alkmaar will ask for around £17m, it’s definitely worth the money.
FIFA 20 best wingers to sign on Career Mode for £20m and above
Brahim Diaz (Real Madrid)
If you have a bit more money in your bank, it might be worth looking into Real Madrid winger Brahim Diaz.
Pay Brahim Diaz’s release clause to get a keen dribbler with the potential to grow.
Diaz is impressive from the start, with an initial rating of 74 – boosted by five-star weak foot and four-star skill moves and the ability to play on either wing. Naturally, his dribbling is pretty good at 81, combining well with a balance of 86. His decent finishing of 67 will only improve if you get him to his potential overall of 86. Real Madrid won’t be interested in selling Diaz early on but you can bypass this by paying his release clause of £20.2m – just squeezing him into the expensive section.
Vinicius Jr (Real Madrid)
Another player to potentially poach from Real Madrid, without spending ridiculous amounts of money, is Vinicius Jr.
Vinicius Jr has the skills, dribbling and potential to be one of the best wingers in the game.
The Brazilian has an initial rating of 79, with five-star skill moves and four-star weak foot. He’s fast with pace of 93 and dribbling of 85 will make him key on the left wing. But perhaps the biggest selling point for Vinicius Jr is that he can potentially grow to 92 – becoming one of the best wingers in the game. And he can be yours for around £30m.
Mikel Oyarzabal (Real Sociedad)
Sticking in La Liga, if you want a more established winger early on, then Mikel Oyarzabal could be the one for you.
Cut in from the wing and shoot to get the best out of Mikel Oyarzabal.
The Spaniard has an initial rating of 83, which comes with 86 finishing and 85 dribbling. Cutting in from either the left or right and shooting is how you’d get the best out of Oyarzabal, however he is also a decent creator with 82 crossing and 81 short passing. With the potential to grow to 89, Oyarzabal won’t come cheap but ignore his release clause as Real Sociedad will ask for around £45m. But he’s worth it.
Leroy Sane (Manchester City)
Finally, the marquee signing, if you have the funds then signing Leroy Sane is the way to go, as Bayern Munich realised in the real world.
Leroy Sane is a great all-round winger, capable of hurting opponents across the pitch.
The 24-year-old is already rated at 86 and has solid stats across the board, including a mouthwatering 95 pace. But his 81 finishing, 87 shot power, 83 crossing and 80 short passing really makes Sane a must have – not to mention his potential rise to 90. Understandably, Manchester City will play hardball on Sane – though not as much as they do on Raheem Sterling, for whom they want £120m. Instead, you can tempt Man City with around £72m for Sane, “only” paying £20m above his value.
