FIFA 19 Future Stars Revealed Early Include Matthijs de Ligt, Vinicius Junior FUT Cards
It’s two days before a full reveal for the FIFA 19 Future Stars players, but several players surfaced early. As a teaser, the EA Sports folks revealed the names of three stars and their ratings. They include at least one player who could be one of the best in the game at his position years from now. Here are the latest details on who is on the team and who may be coming with Friday’s lineup reveal.
FIFA 19 Future Stars’ First Three Players Revealed
There are several requirements in order to be part of the FIFA 19 Future Stars lineup. As EA mentioned, these players are all age 23 or younger. They also can’t be established stars (yet) and have the potential for future ratings in the football world.
With that in mind, the three players revealed on Wednesday included a pair of 92s with Matthijs de Ligt of AFC Ajax and Vinicius Junior of Real Madrid. Joining them is Manchester City’s Phil Foden who carries an 88 rating. Not too bad for the first three players revealed!

Matthijs De Ligt is an obvious choice here based on his immense future potential. He was a member of FIFA Team of the Week 4, and he’s likely to find his way on TOTW in the future.
His Netherlands coach Ronald Koeman recently said of De Ligt, “he will be the best centre-back in the world in two years,” per Goal’s report. De Light is a player likely to leave Ajax for one of the Premier League clubs such as Bayern, Barcelona, and Manchester City.
Vinicius Junior is another good choice so far. The 18-year-old achieved two goals and four assists for Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey. In La Liga play he has one goal through eight matches.
Foden has recorded two goals and an assist in four matches for the Football League. With Manchester City, he has an assist so far in 13 appearances but has plenty of future potential.
FIFA 19 Future Stars: More players on the way
So far it’s a nice trio of stars. There will be more FIFA 19 Future Stars on Friday, January 18. In all, this lineup will feature 11 to 13 players. Some other possible players guesses online include Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford, Liverpool’s Joe Gomez, Borussia Dortmund’s Jadon Sancho, and AFC Ajax’s Frankie de Jong.
It’s unknown right know what sort of cost the three players will have or what may be required for upgrades. More details will emerge as the official lineup becomes available.
That said, it’s a great start, and these are players who could find themselves on a future FIFA Team of the Year for the game.
