Ihlas Bebou has an exciting RTTF card in FIFA 21 Ultimate Team. On the transfer market, it costs a significant amount of coins. However, the card could be worth its price.
This is the card: The Hoffenheim striker Ihlas Bebou has received a so-called “Road-to-the-Final” card in the Europa League version. Currently, it has an overall rating of 80 – but it has the potential to increase further. The further TSG Hoffenheim progresses in the Europa League, the stronger the Bebou card will become in FIFA 21.
This is how much the card costs: With an overall rating of 80, the card might not seem worth much at first glance. One might be surprised when seeing the price tag of currently around 96,000 coins. That’s how much Bebou is currently going for on the transfer market.
This is surprising, especially because the market in FIFA 21 is notoriously low. For comparison: The RTTF Bebou is thus more expensive than the standard cards of:
- Robert Lewandowski (around 66,000 coins)
- Joshua Kimmich (around 30,000)
- Leroy Sané (around 14,000)
- Marco Reus (around 10,000)
Great players who cost noticeably less. Is such an expensive card really worth it?
Why Bebou could be worth the money
What Bebou does well: First, the question arises as to why an 80-rated card commands such a high price on the transfer market. There are several answers to this.
First, there is the possibility of Bebou’s card becoming stronger through upgrades. Just reaching the knockout phase would mean a jump in ratings, and after that, there is an upgrade for every additional round completed. Since Hoffenheim is currently in Group L of the Europa League, ranking 1st with three wins and a good lead, progressing is very likely. And with it, an upgrade for Bebou.
But even without upgrades, Bebou in this form is an exciting card, as it fills a gap in the Bundesliga in FUT.
The best striker cards in the Bundesliga currently include Lewandowski, Haaland, Kramaric as POTM, and TOTW Max Kruse. All good strikers, but none shine with extreme speed. The fastest Bundesliga striker in FIFA 20 was Timo Werner, who moved to England, leaving a vacuum behind.
At the beginning of the Ultimate Team season, this gap was somewhat filled by Leipzig’s Hee-Chan Hwang, but a truly fast forward with high ratings has been lacking until now. And Bebou can deliver that – as he is already quite useful in the crucial attacking stats of dribbling and shooting.

If you equip Bebou with a Finisher style, he suddenly has shooting and dribbling stats in the 90s, alongside pace. This includes a 99 finishing and 99 dribbling score. He also has 4-star skill moves. With the chemistry style, Bebou suddenly becomes a top striker – and that without an upgrade.
He only has weaknesses in physicality and passing. Thus, he is more suited as a scorer in the center forward position.
Who should buy Bebou? Primarily, Bebou is interesting for Bundesliga players. He is especially worthwhile if you already have the top players in the league gathered and are looking for an option to further improve your team in detail. If you play a Bundesliga team in FUT, Bebou could be a really exciting alternative to secure.
Besides that, he could also be an interesting investment on the transfer market if Hoffenheim progresses in the Europa League. However, this depends on real football – and of course on the fluctuations of the transfer market. After all, this year has already seen sudden drops in value.
By the way: Even Bebou’s regular silver card is unusually expensive in FUT. This is due to the silver lounge mode, where he is one of the most exciting players.
