Everybody wants Messi, Ronaldo, and Zlatan (and Flamini), and so they do every season. But last season nobody wanted Bellerin or Martial, and now they’re some of the most sought after players. Let’s find someone new.
The best way to discover an unlikely hero on the transfer market is to ignore that overall rating and hone in on individual stats that would really make a difference to your team. Zlatan is one of the game’s best strikers based purely on his overall ability, but he’s not going to be worth much to you if you rely on your forward having blinding pace.
FIFA’s bias towards pace and strength makes average players like Loic Remy and Victor Wanyama potential stars for anyone having no luck stumbling across Messi in one of their card packs.
