strongest immediate signing at 82.
The beauty of these four is the fact that you could sign all of them, play them
across your midfield, and utterly dominate your opponents.
Elsewhere, the player with the most potential to grow – to a top level – is West Ham
defender
Reece Oxford. The 17-year-old starts the game rated at just 66, but could shoot up to

His shooting is decent and already better than team-mate Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s (77).
Martial’s knack of cutting inside from the left-flank onto his preferred right foot was a
feature of Manchester United’s play last term, but his left peg ain’t bad either – four stars
out of five, to be exact.

Much has been made of the fact that Bellerin is second only to Pierre-Emerick

Rabiot is a talent that will go relatively under the radar in comparison, while still offering a
very effective midfield option.

the most expensive player in history.

At Chelsea, he’s just one of a legion of loanees. In your team, he could become a superstar.
Not only that, he is an absolute baller – boasting five stars in both the Skill Moves and

The Croat winger is someone who can make an impact immediately, through his pace
