We've been treated to some outstanding performances thus far this season from Europe's best young talent - though it can be frustrating to see youngsters tearing it up on the pitch, and then finding them rated far below their potential when you want to use them in EA Sports FC 24.
Of course, it is only natural that players be rated lower, given they are early in their development phase and are only beginning to show the brilliance that is hoped to define their careers in years to come.
However, the likes of Jude Bellingham have proven the adage of 'if you're good enough, you're old enough' this year, and the latest EA Sports FC 24 collection of special Ultimate Team cards pays tribute to the game's finest youngsters of late.
The 'Future Stars' campaign launched last week, with enticing cards for Lauren James (91), Alejandro Garnacho (90), and Harvey Elliott (89) among the 14 players selected.
The second batch of 'Future Stars' cards has now been revealed, with two more Premier League stars included in the selection. Starting today, FC 24 players can begin adding Team 2's young superstars into their squad. The player items will come with ratings boosts, a reflection of their potential to become a future sensation.

EA Sports FC 24: Latest Future Stars selection revealed
Cole Palmer and Selma Bacha are the two headline stars of the latest 'Future Stars' selection, with both special cards getting a 91 rating. Palmer has enjoyed an outstanding Premier League season in a less-than-outstanding Chelsea team, while Bacha starred with France at last year's World Cup Down Under.
Off the back of his five-in-a-row Premier League scoring streak, Rasmus Hojlund also receives a 'Future Stars' card, with an 89 OVR. Other prospects to be included are Warren Zaire-Emery, Michael Olisa, Maya Le Tissier, and Rico Lewis.
You can check out the full 14-strong selection below.
As well as the 14 current stars listed above, a selection of ICON cards will also be released. These "Future Stars ICON" cards will mark some of football's most famous "burst-on-the-scene" heroes from years gone past.
The players included here are:
- Zinedine Zidane
- David Beckham
