The 6 strongest talents from the Bundesliga for the career
These are the Bundesliga talents: In FIFA 21, 6 Bundesliga players belong to the talents with the highest starting rating. These are:
Jadon Sancho
The Dortmund forward player had to endure a surprising pace downgrade, but still impresses with his offensive values. He has an overall rating of 87 at just 20 years old and is the best player from Borussia Dortmund.
Erling Haaland
Sancho’s teammate Haaland is among the players who have made a huge jump in ratings. He comes with a base rating of 84 and, at just 20 years old, still has a lot of potential.
Alphonso Davies
Some players would have liked to see the Bayern left-back rated even higher – as would some other Bayern players. After all, he was among the strongest defenders last season. Still, with his overall rating of 81 and a pace of 96, he is definitely a strong option for left back. And Davies is only 19 years old.
Moussa Diaby
The Leverkusen forward man also makes a strong jump in the ratings – just as expected after last season. He stands out with extremely high pace and, at 21 years old, still has a lot of time for development.
Dayot Upamecano
Upamecano plays for RB Leipzig and could become a very good option for your center-back position in the career. He offers good values in pace, defense, and physicality. And with his 21 years, those values are likely to improve further.
Dan-Axel Zagadou
The Dortmund center-back is a real presence in the penalty area at 1.96 meters tall. He is unlikely to be outjumped during headers. At 21 years old, he still has plenty of opportunities to improve. His defensive and physical ratings are already very good at the start.
Thus, the strongest talents in FIFA 21 are known. It remains to be seen which young players will join these top talents once all ratings are revealed. Do you agree with the talents’ ratings?
