Is Worrall worth £4 million on FIFA 18?
His 69 overall rating has the potential to hit 82 on FIFA 18, with Worrall’s best stats being his 82 strength, 75 jumping and 72 standing tackle. At £4 million and £10,000 a week wages he is slightly more expensive than others, but he is still definitely worth a move.
How good is Juan Foyth on FIFA 18?
74 acceleration, 74 balance and 73 jumping help make up Foyth’s 68 overall rating on FIFA 18. Despite minimal senior football, his 12 caps for Argentina U20s have granted him with an 86 potential. £3.9 million is a bargain for a player of that quality, with his current wages at £18,000 a week. You will need to wait until January to sign him though.
How good are Antonio Conte's Chelsea on FIFA 18?
With no European football last year, they received a massive leg-up for the title, and they've had to rebuild their squad after a lot of condensing under Antonio Conte. You would be foolish to count The Blues out of the title race with so much talent in their side. Conte’s Chelsea have a 5 star rating on FIFA 18.
Team Rating
Conte’s Chelsea have a 5 star rating on FIFA 18. Their overall of 84 consists of 85 attack, 85 midfield and 82 defence.
Formation
Picking our system for Chelsea took a while. Fittingly, the spanner in the works is Diego Costa. The bullish striker is set to move to Atletico Madrid in January, but on FIFA 18, he is a fully fledged Chelsea player. So it all hangs on whether you want to keep the 28-year-old at the club.
Tactics
The beauty of the 5-2-3 is it offers so many ways of playing. Its obvious use is the counter attack, with five at the back you should be able to suck in the opposition, nick the ball and break. With the pace of Eden Hazard and Willian out wide, you should create plenty of opportunities to score with Costa or Morata up front.
Who should go
With Chelsea having a thin squad for a club of their size, there are no obvious players to sell. Kenedy has had an indifferent past 12 months, with a loan spell at Watford ending in an injury and then being caught up and a race row during the club's pre-season tour in China.
Loans
Chelsea are renowned for sending plenty of players out on loan, with 12 players already loaned out on Career Mode. Ethan Ampadu, Martell Taylor-Crossdale and George McEachran can all join this list, and you should look to send them all to league two clubs for at least one season.
Left wing back
Antonio Conte made it no secret that he wanted another left wing-back this past summer, and earmarked Alex Sandro as the man to come in ahead of Marcos Alonso. Given Alonso’s performances last season there is no need to replace the Spaniard, but with a FIFA 18 rating of 81 and potential of 83, he is the weakest link in our Chelsea lineup.
Central midfield
Chelsea's purchase of Danny Drinkwater for £35 million was a panic buy on transfer deadline day, but you have more time to bring in a more adequate signing. With N’Golo Kante, Tiemoue Bakayoko and Drinkwater ‘protective’ midfielders, Cesc Fabregas is the only one who offers something different in the middle of the park.
Team rating
Portugal have a 5 star rating on the World Cup update. This consists of an 88 attack, 83 midfield and 82 defence.
Formation
Portugal have used a 4-4-2 formation under coach Fernando Santos, but with strength and depth in midfield, we have switched to a 4-2-3-1 wide.
Tactics
It may be obvious, but the clear gameplan will be to utilise all of Cristiano Ronaldo ’s ability. Perhaps playing him up front on his own isn’t the ideal system, but he has all the attributes to perform the role.
What is the most difficult position to sign for in FIFA 18?
Defence is always the most difficult position to sign for, especially if you're looking for a young star. Centre backs in particular peak later than other players, so you really need to do your research on FIFA 18’s Career Mode to find the high potential gems you are looking for. Don’t worry as we have collated all the best high potential centre ...
How old is Joe Worrall?

How old is Dan Axel Zagadou?
