The FIFA 21 ratings already showed a lot of player cards before the release. Here are 5 players who already look like a good choice for your team.
What makes these players good? The previous ratings already brought real top cards, such as
Additionally, players and clubs published more cards through social media.
Of course, a Mbappé, Neymar, or Messi would look great on any team in FUT. However, you will need either a lot of coins or outrageous pack luck for these top players.
However, players like Militao or Mendy have already proven in FIFA 20 that you don’t always need an overall rating above 85 to be really strong. That’s why we looked at the previous ratings and identified some players who might turn out to be quite OP despite slightly lower overall ratings.
The cards come from the database of futbin, where all the players that appeared recently are collected.
Radja Nainggolan
This is Nainggolan: Nainggolan has been a FUT favorite for years, boasting strong stats. Even this year, the card of the midfielder looks incredibly strong.
Nainggolan is not really weak in any stat, instead, he presents himself as an absolute all-rounder in midfield. The Belgian is ideally suited for Serie A teams, but also offers good links to the Premier League and Bundesliga.
Ousmane Dembélé
This is Dembélé: Dembélé was a real meta player in FIFA 20, and as dribbling will still be important in FIFA 21, Dembélé is likely to be a real weapon again.
He is among the 5-star skilled players and has a strong dribbling value of 86. In addition, he still offers a pace above 90, unlike Sancho and Gnabry. Plus, he is easy to link. In short: Dembélé will be found in many offensive setups again, but at the start of the season, he surely won’t be cheap.
Marcos Llorente
This is Llorente: Marcos Llorente received a significant upgrade. Although he only has two points more in the overall rating, he made huge jumps elsewhere. In pace, he gained a full 26 points, 24 points in shooting and 9 in dribbling. Here are the cards compared:
Llorente made a name for himself last season by developing from central midfield towards the attack. Among other things, he knocked Liverpool out of the Champions League with a brace. And in FIFA 21, he could become an early fan favorite with the new card.
Federico Valverde
This is Valverde: The Real player started in FIFA 20 with a 77, received a winter upgrade to an 81, and now has an 83 in FIFA 21.
It is characterized by consistently good stats: Valverde is fast and physically strong, but also able to play forward. He is also likely to be popular at the start of the season, but not necessarily cheap.
Alphonso Davies
This is Davies: Davies from Bayern Munich could be an incredibly popular player in FIFA 21.
With his 96 pace, he is among the top 3 fastest players in the game, additionally, he is strong in dribbling and defensively solid. Davies will be perfect for slowing down fast attackers and initiating attacks down the left.
