Potential in Career Mode works in the same way in FIFA 21 as it always has. As you perform well with players, win matches, and train them in the right way, players will improve, seeing their overall rating go up.

A player’s potential rating is the max overall rating they can reach in their career. Some will increase more than others, but not many will reach the absolute max overalls.
