A good team always starts with a good goalkeeper. Some of these stars play in more modest clubs, such as Pau López, and you can take the opportunity to put him on your team.

As with FIFA 17, Stefan de Vrij is still a great player to hire in Career Mode. Germán Conti is a promising young Argentinian who will be very helpful in his defense.

The backs need fast players with a lot of stamina. Cover has these characteristics and can bring a lot of value to your team. If you want more experienced players, look for Manchester United's Valencia (83) or Atletico Madrid's Juanfran (82) who end the contract in 2018.

Luke Shaw is an excellent player but he is playing on a very popular team and this can make his transfer difficult. Juncà is a good opportunity as he plays for Eibar and may want to make the leap in his career.

We admit Dani Garcia is slow, but behind the wheel this is not that important. Its other features are very good for its place in midfield. Kouyate is a very useful player as he can play in various positions.

Goretzka is a fantastic player who is not yet at his full potential. Nice's Koziello needs to play harder to get to the top of his abilities and you can hire him for free in January.

Egyptian player Kahraba is the classic tip with a lot of speed and dribbling, without fear of the defenders. If you want a more popular player, you can hire Carlos Vela from Real Sociedad.

You can only win by scoring goals and these cheap top scorers do their job very well. Aboubakar is back in good form and will surely score many goals for his team. If you prefer to bet on the future, FC Basel's Oberlin has the potential to become one of the top scorers.
