Goalkeepers

Gianluigi Donnarumma

Club: AC Milan
Age: 21
Overall: 85
Potential: 92
Price: £37m

The most valuable young goalkeeper in FIFA 21. His potential puts him in a league of his own, and with the right development, you’ll soon have one of the world’s best goalies on your hands. His jumping and reaction stats make him a keeper who should bail your defence out again and again. 

Maarten Vandevoordt

Club: Genk
Age: 18
Overall: 68
Potential: 87
Price: £1.4m

Despite looking like he just got out of daycare, the baby-faced Vandevoordt is one of the most promising keepers you can buy this year. Seeing as Maarten’s potential is in the high 80s, his bargain basement price tag makes him an absolute steal. 

Lucas Chevalier 

Club: Lille
Age: 18
Overall: 61
Potential: 83
Price: £425k

While Chevalier certainly isn’t the finished article, his minimal asking price and ludicrously low wage demands – he only wants £500 a week! – make this a keeper worth taking a chance on. Give him minutes in cup competitions and he should blossom, though he’s unlikely to become the most aggressive shot stopper.  

Nico Mantal

Club: Unterhaching
Age: 18
Overall: 61
Potential: 83
Price: £1.8m

This colossal German stands at 6’4, making him one of the most imposing young keepers in FIFA 21. While his composure needs to be developed, his decent reactions and healthy strength stats show that he can be turned into an excellent goalie with enough training and playing time. 

Fortuno

Club: Espanyol
Age: 18
Overall: 62
Potential: 82
Price: £475k

A keeper so under the radar, FIFA 21 doesn’t even list his first name – It’s “Ángel”, in case you were wondering. Thanks to his excellent jumping stats, this is one keeper that should swallow up crosses without too much hassle.

Defenders

Matthijs De Ligt

Club: Piemonte Calcio
Position: CB
Age: 20
Overall: 85
Potential: 92
Value: £44m

Probably the most coveted young defender in world football – we’ve seen him be as highly priced as £95m in our Career Mode. You’ll need a Chelsea-sized budget if you’re going to prize this once in a generation centre back from Juventus. Sorry, sorry… ‘Piemonte Calcio’. De Ligt scores highly for composure, reactions and heading accuracy, making him a dominant, aggressive defender. 

Alphonso Davies

Club: Bayern Munich
Position: LB, LM, RM
Age: 19
Overall: 85
Potential: 92
Value: £20.5m

Bayern’s lightning left back excels thanks to his exemplary acceleration and sprint speed. Pacey players are king in FIFA 21, so if you pair this left-footed speedster with a similarly rapid left winger, you’re going to terrify opposition fullbacks. Again, you’ll need a hefty budget to get him away from the Allianz Arena.  

William Saliba 

Club: Arsenal
Position: CB
Age: 19
Overall: 74
Potential: 87
Value: £9m

Poor little Willie might not be able to get any playing time for the Gunners in real life, but he’s highly rated in FIFA 21. His potential rating makes him one of the most exciting young centre halves in the game, while his strength, composure and skill at interceptions belies his tender years. 

Nuno Mendes

Club: Sporting CP
Position: LWB, LM
Age: 18
Overall: 72
Potential: 87
Value: £5.5m

Sporting’s agile left wing back has a tempting buyout clause of £12.3m. If your club has the cash and you’re looking for a left-sided speed demon with a high ceiling, you should take him off the Portugese side’s hands. 

Jeremie Frimpong

Club: Celtic
Position: RB, RWB
Age: 19
Overall: 70
Potential: 87
Value: £4.2m

This pacey left back is way too good for the Scottish top flight – sorry, Celtic fans. A skilled dribbler with impressive balance and agility, you’re getting a hell of a player for relatively little money. The Bhoys won’t be happy, but Frimpong will instantly improve your squad. 

Midfielders

Jadon Sancho

Club: Borussia Dortmund
Position: RM, LM, CAM
Age: 20
Overall: 87
Potential: 93
Value: £111.5m

One of Europe’s most exciting attacking players, Man Utd have been lusting after this incredible English talent for a while now. If your club boasts a transfer budget that would make even Sheikh Mansour wince, the eagle-eyed Sancho can be yours for a truly colossal outlay. 

Sandro Tonali

Club: AC Milan
Position: CDM, CM
Age: 20
Overall: 77
Potential: 91
Value: £50m

A fresh-faced defensive midfielder who’s blessed with impressive acceleration and a rock-solid short passing game. If you like to play the ball out from the back rather than lumping it towards your striker, Sandro fits the tippy-tappy bill nicely. 

Mason Greenwood

Club: Manchester United
Position: RM, ST
Age: 18
Overall: 77
Potential: 89
Value: £13.1m

United’s right-sided midfielder impresses with both his sprint speed and net-rippling shot power. His potential rating gives him one of the highest ceilings in the game. If you have the money, you’d be wise to build the right side of your attack around Greenwood. 

Ferran Torres

Club: Manchester City
Position: RM, LM, CF
Age: 20
Overall: 81
Potential: 89
Value: £23.9m

You don’t inherit David Silva’s shirt at Man City unless Pep sees something in you. Not to be confused with a certain legendary Liverpool striker, Torres made his debut for the Spanish national side earlier in the year. His amazing vision makes him a supremely talented passer. 

Thiago Almada

Club: Velez Sarsfield
Position: CAM, CM, LW
Age: 19
Overall: 73
Potential: 89
Value: £7.7m

Thiago is blessed with a strong all-round game – his balance, agility and acceleration stats all impress. If you don’t want to haggle over the price, his release cause is £14.9m. Not exactly chump change then, but this promising Argentinian should prove well worth the investment. 

Forwards

Kylian Mbappé

Club: Paris Saint Germain
Position: ST
Age: 21
Overall: 90
Potential: 95
Value: £94m

PSG’s French megastar is already the finished article – he’s already won the World Cup and helped drive his Parisian club to their first Champions League final. Amazingly, he still has room to grow, as his frankly silly 95 potential attests. Rated at 96 for both sprint speed and acceleration, there’s no catching Kylian when he hits full flight. 

Vinicius Jr

Club: Real Madrid
Position: LW
Age: 19
Overall: 80
Potential: 93
Value: £25.5m

If you can’t afford Mbappé – and let’s be honest, you probably can’t – this highly skilled left-sided forward is a good fallback option. Few other players can match his raw potential, while his agility and balance make him a dribbling ninja. Opposing fullbacks beware. 

Erling Haaland

Club: Borussia Dortmund
Position: ST
Age: 19
Overall: 84
Potential: 92
Value: £42m

Not only does Haaland look like a mini Kevin De Bruyne, he boasts an utter rocket of a shot. Strong and aggressive, this tall and intimidating striker will likely prove too expensive for all but the richest of Career Mode clubs. If your transfer budget is obscenely large though, by all means go for Haaland.  

Francisco Trincão

Position: RW, LW, CAM
Age: 20
Overall: 78
Potential: 91
Value: £18m

Though he’s not blessed with blistering pace, Barcelona’s Portuguese forward makes up for his lack of speed with strong vision, dribbling and ball control stats. With the right development, he has the makings of a superstar.  

Ansu Fati

Position: LW, RW
Age: 17
Overall: 76
Potential: 90
Value: £13.5m

Another promising Barcelona forward who is well worth poaching – Ronald Koeman is going to hate you. Fast and agile, Fati is a strong finisher whose impressive balance makes him hard to knock off the ball. Although he’s not particularly tall, his strong jumping stats mean he’s still an aerial threat.

The post FIFA 21 celebrations list: How to do all of the new and old celebrations appeared first on Game News.

FIFA 21 coins guide rule 1: Never buy gold packs

Gold packs are so very easy to come by in FIFA 21. You get them for completing SBCs, for seasonal objectives, and in your rewards for Squad Battles, Division Rivals and FUT Champions. In other words, the transfer market is constantly saturated with gold cards. What that means is that it’s nigh-on impossible to get a return for your money on a 5,000-coin basic gold pack. Whereas bronze and silver packs are significantly cheaper, and guarantee you profit over the long-haul – as cards of those types are harder to come by than gold ones, yet still frequently required for SBCs.

FIFA 21 coins guide rule 2: Sell cards when at their most valuable

SBCs see you submitting teams according to specific requirements in order to earn rewards. This, rather than spending coins, is how you should approach scoring gold packs. Below this method is explained in further detail, and it essentially comes down to this: only ever buy bronze packs, silver packs, and discard in-forms, and enjoy the rewards that follow. As your coin balance builds you can then buy the specific players you want, rather than taking the needle-in-a-haystack approach of hoping (and failing) to pack them.

FIFA 21 coins guide rule 3: Only buy bronze and silver packs

This is a natural extension of rule 1. So, stick to bronze and silver packs, and when you do purchase one it’s safest to go for the standard versions: 400 for bronze, 2,500 coins for silver.

If you’re feeling especially flush you can gamble on the premium versions of these packs: 750 for bronze, 3,750 for silver. I often take a punt on the 750-coins bronze pack, but won’t touch the silver one unless I’ve 50K or more stashed. The reason being premium packs carry a much higher risk but also a higher reward: you’re paying the extra money for two additional ‘rare’ cards. If those rare cards are players, you make even bigger profits; if they’re kits or badges, you’ll take a small hit.

If at any time your in-game funds are less than 20,000 coins, I recommend sticking to bronze packs rather than silver. 400 coins can be made back in a single match, and you see a swifter return on the cards you place on the market. Longer-term, with more in-game currency to spare, you can afford to mix the two equally.

FIFA 21 coins guide rule 4: Decide if you’re going to do the league SBCs

Throughout the season EA releases a selection of league-based Squad Building Challenges. By completing one team you unlock a specific pack, and by completing all the teams you unlock an overall group reward. 

The Premier League (ENG 1), Bundesliga (GER 1), Ligue 1 (FRA 1), Serie A TIM (ITA 1), La Liga (ESP 1), Saudi Professional League (SAU 1), MLS (MLS), EFL Championship (ENG 2), Pro League (BEL 1), Super Lig (TUR 1), Eredivisie (NED 1), Liga BBVA MX (MEX) 1) and CSL (CHN 1) are the current league SBCs in FIFA 21. The Conmebol Libertadores (LIB) and Conmebol Sudamericana (SUD) competitions have group SBCs too. So any silver or bronze players you pack from these competitions have immediate resale value.

As the season progresses, you need to decide which to complete for the overall rewards. Once you have nine-or-more players for any of those teams, buy the last couple of players needed – Futbin is an excellent resource to help you fill in gaps – at the lowest BIN price and get it completed. That earns you a new pack and takes you a step closer to the overall reward for that league.

FIFA 21 coins guide rule 5: Invest in discard-price Gold in-form cards

Once you pass the 50,000-coins mark, I recommend investing in 3-4 TOTW players between Wednesday and Saturday of any given week. To do this, search for ‘Special’ players on the transfer market at a Buy It Now price of 10,250-11,500, then take your pick from any TOTW players rated 81 or above. You can *always* resell these players for at least 13,000 coins, sometimes much more – or, if you suddenly need funds, quick-sell them to the CPU for around 10K, meaning any losses are tiny.

For instance, when TOTW 1 came out I purchased TOTW Jose Fonte, rated 82, for 10,500 coins. One week later his value had already ascended to 15,000, and in mid-December it sits at 18,500 – almost doubling my investment, should I choose to sell.

As a general rule I stash TOTW purchases in my club for a fortnight, then list for at least 14,000 BIN – sometimes much more, depending on comparative prices for the same card.

FIFA 21 coins guide rule 6: Check for ‘Live’ SBCs every Thursday night

This is the key to maximising the value of all players stashed in your club. You can do it more than once a week if you like, but Thursday evenings are often best, as they’re the time when ‘Marquee Matchups’ – a regular set of four new SBCs, relative to upcoming real-life matches – go live.

What you want to do is look at the parameters required for each Live challenge, and then transfer list any players in your club which are required and/or useful for them. For instance, an early season Marquee Matchup SBC pertained to Club Brugge vs Anderlecht. It required three Belgium players, and as a result prices for all Belgians went up, as did those for any players across the A1 Pro League (BEL 1) – as acquiring players from that league was the easiest way to complete the SBC.

Cycle through each Live SBC, then list all such cards at a price 100-200 coins higher than the lowest BN price. Bronze cards needed for these challenges often go for more than 1,000 coins – a huge increase on the 400 coins you originally spent to find them in a bronze pack.

FIFA 21 coins guide rule 6: Opening a silver pack

First, look for players assigned to ENG 1, ENG 2, GER 1, FRA 1, ITA 1, ESP 1, SAU 1, MLS, BEL 1, TUR 1, NED 1, MEX 1, CHN 1, SUD or LIB. If you’re planning to do those League SBCs, send them to your club. If not, send them straight to the transfer list.

Players from all other leagues should be stashed in your club until an SBC comes up that requires them – see point 5, and remember to check every Thursday. Important: Never quick sell any player card.

Send all Duplicate players to the transfer list.

Send all Healing (team and player) cards to the transfer list.

List shiny Manager Contracts cards for one hour at 150/200.

Send standard Manager Contracts cards to your club. *These are the only Manager Contracts cards I ever use.*

List standard Player Contracts cards (’10/10/8’) for one hour at 150/200.

List shiny Player Contracts (’20/24/18’) for one hour at 150/200.

Place all Kit, Badge, Celebration, Manager, Stadium, Theme and Tifo cards on the transfer list.

Unless you want them, quick sell all Balls.

Now go to your transfer list and cycle through all the cards you just moved there. Click ‘compare price’ and if there are a ton of the same card on the market at 150/200, also list at 150/200.

For cards listed at higher prices than 150/200, take note of the lowest Buy Now price available, then list yours for a Buy Now price of 200-300 coins more. Let’s say we’re looking to sell WBA defender Dara O’Shea, who I’ve just packed in the screenshot above. His lowest-priced card on the market costs 750 coins. So I list mine at a Buy Now of 1,000, with an auction start price of 50 coins less, so 950. The card may not sell at the first attempt. But it should do within 24-48 hours. If at that point it’s still not sold, I drop the price by 100 coins.

Always list cards for one hour. The key to this method is keeping your list full, and refreshed, as often as possible.

FIFA 21 coins guide rule 7: opening a bronze pack

Again, look for players from ENG 1, ENG 2, GER 1, FRA 1, ITA 1, ESP 1, SAU 1, MLS, BEL 1, TUR 1, NED 1, MEX 1, CHN 1, SUD or LIB. If you’re planning to do those League SBCs, send them to your club. If not, send them straight to the transfer list.

Once more, players from all other leagues should be stashed in your club until an SBC comes up that requires them. Remember, never quick sell any player card.

Send all Duplicate players to the transfer list.

Send all Healing (team and player) cards to the transfer list.

Send shiny bronze Player Contracts cards (’15/6/3’) to your club. *These are the only Player Contract cards I ever use!*

Quick sell all standard Player Contracts cards, and both shiny and non-shiny Manager Contracts cards.

Place all Manager and Stadium cards on the transfer list.

Place all shiny Kit badges on the transfer list.

Quick sell all standard Kit cards, plus all Badge, Ball, Celebration, Theme and Tifo cards.

Now go to your transfer list and do the same as you did for silver cards on there. Many cards will only go for 150/200, but you only need to sell an average of three per pack to make a profit.

FIFA 21 coins guide rule 8: a quick flip for a quick buck

Bronze and silver packs require a degree of patience to pay dividends: the idea behind the method is to generate coins across the coming year, rather than score instant profit. If that’s what you’re looking for, try this instead: pick a popular league that isn’t one of the big five, such as the EFL Championship (ENG 2), and mass bid on silver player cards to a maximum value of 200 coins for standard cards, or 300 for shinies.

You can bid on a maximum of 50 cards at any one time. Any that you win can then immediately be ‘flipped’ back onto the transfer market, at a minimum value of 500 coins, and often closer to 800. Like with rules 7 and 8, be sure to compare current prices of the same card before listing. I flip 20-or-so cards per day in this way just to keep my coin balance flowing.

FIFA 21 coins guide rule 9: ‘re-list all’ as often possible

Re-list all as often as you can. If any non-player items listed at 150/200 aren’t shifting after 48 hours, quick sell them. Don’t apply that rule to players: even at 150/200 they always sell eventually. For all other items, such as rare silver Kits, consider dropping the Buy Now price by 50 coins after day one, 100 by day two, and so on. Don’t forget to play the odd match or two, too – if you’re going to save for van Dijk or Messi, you might as well try to enjoy the actual on-pitch action occasionally in the meantime.

The post FIFA 21 coins: make millions in Ultimate Team using Bronze packs and TOTW cards appeared first on Game News.

Covering the group stages of the Champions League and Europe League, FIFA TOTGS celebrates the most consistent performers so far in the pinnacle of club competitions. But it’s also a vehicle to sell more packs, so a host of huge names with upgraded cards was inevitable. 

Messi’s new super card is 95-rated, while De Bruyne clocks on with an OVR of 92, and Fernandes on 90. Also earning a big nine-zero is FC Bayern midfielder Joshua Kimmich. Next up are Raheem Sterling (LW, 89) and Keylor Navas (GK, 88). Marcus Rashford’s new 87-rated card is also sure to be highly coveted, so too Erling Braut Haaland (ST, 88).

In total 18 players were made available in packs, in addition to two SBC players and two objective-reward players. Here’s the complete FIFA 21 TOTGS list.

• Lionel Messi (CF, Barcelona) – 95
• Kevin de Bruyne (CM, Manchester City) – 92
• Bruno Fernandes (CAM, Manchester United) – 90
• Joshua Kimmich (CM, FC Bayern) – 90
• Raheem Sterling (LW, Manchester City) – 89
• Keylor Navas (GK, Paris) – 88
• Alejandro Gomez (CAM, Atalanta) – 88
• Trent Alexander-Arnold (RB, Liverpool) – 88
• Erling Braut Haaland (ST, Dortmund) – 88
• Ciro Immobile (ST, Lazio) – 88 [SBC only]
• Marcus Rashford (ST, Manchester United) – 87
• Kingsley Coman (LW, FC Bayern) – 86 [Objectives only]
• Francesco Acerbi (CB, Lazio) – 85
• Diego Carlos (CB, Sevilla) – 85
• Theo Hernandez (LB, Milan) – 85
• Lucas Moura (RM, Tottenham) – 85 [SBC only]
• Alvaro Morata (ST, Piemonte Calcio) – 84
• Nicolas Pepe (RW, Arsenal) – 84
• Yusuf Yazici (ST, Lille) – 84
• Diogo Jota (CF, Liverpool) – 83
• Nico Elvedi (CB, Moenchengladbach) – 82
• Cristian Romero (CB, Atalanta) – 84 [Objectives only]

The post FIFA 21 Team Of The Group stage adds mega-powered Messi and Rashford appeared first on Game News.

What is the FIFA 21 loyalty glitch?

As mentioned before, the loyalty glitch in FIFA has been around for years. It’s a quick trick to get max loyalty on all your players so they can hit 10 chemistry in your squad. This is useful for SBCs like Loyal Lads and First XI where the best solutions absolutely require 100 chemistry and you can’t add a manager to get the usual boost.

If you’re unsure what loyalty is, it’s essentially a hidden game mechanic that gives players a +1 boost to chemistry. Players only get loyalty if you’re their first owner – so you got them in a pack – or once they’ve played 10 matches for your club. Playing 10 matches with a squad of players you only want to submit in an SBC is a massive pain, which is where the loyalty glitch comes into play.

How to do the FIFA 21 loyalty glitch on PS4 and Xbox One

Doing the FIFA 21 loyalty glitch on PS4 and Xbox One is quite simple. Firstly, you need to buy all the players you want loyalty on and stick them in a new squad. To save time, stick all the players in the SBC, then press L2/LT and copy the squad.

Now you want to head to Squad Battles, and select any match, then start the game. Shortly after kicking off – as soon as the timer appears in the top-left, around the 30-40 second mark – pause the game.

Head to your console network settings and disconnect from the internet. Return to FIFA 21 and you should see a pop-up that says you lost connection to the EA servers. Press X/A and you’ll return to the main menu.

Go back to your console network settings and reconnect to the internet. Jump back into Ultimate Team and check the stats for one of your players. Their games played for your club should’ve jumped up by one, but your record should be the same as it was prior to the match you disconnected from. To get loyalty on all 11 players, you just need to do that nine more times.

That’s all there is to it! It’s a nifty time-saving trick that FIFA veterans have been using for years but still hasn’t been patched out of the game.

How does FIFA 21 dual entitlement work?

FIFA 21 dual entitlement is a new introduction to the series this year, pertaining to its switch from Gen-4 to Gen-5 consoles. Essentially, it means that by buying the game on PS4 or Xbox One, you’re also buying it on PS5 and Xbox Series X.

From Friday 4 December, placing a PS4 FIFA 21 disc into the PS5 enables you to download the digital next-gen edition free of charge. Similarly, placing the Xbox One version of FIFA 21 into an Xbox Series X will unlock the next-gen version as a digital download.

What if my next-gen console doesn’t have a disc drive?

Owners of the PS5 Digital Edition and Xbox Series S are still able to claim the free upgrade, but it requires a little more groundwork. Specifically, you need to get in touch with EA.

“You will need to contact EA support at help.ea.com to validate your purchase using your EA account information to receive your free upgrade,” says the game’s publisher.

How much is FIFA 21 dual entitlement?

FIFA 21 dual entitlement is completely free, so long as you’ve already purchased the game on PS4 or Xbox One, or do so any time between now and the release of FIFA 22.

What data transfers with FIFA 21 dual entitlement?

Your Ultimate Team and Volta data all ports over to the newer format automatically. Controversially, however, career mode saves are locked to each specific console generation.

“In all reality, [considering] the cost in terms of time to port career mode saves to Gen-5… we had to make a choice on how to invest that time in an annual cycle, and we felt it was better spent making new career mode features for both generations,” explains executive producer Aaron McHardy. “We put a whole lot into career mode this year. Ultimate Team and Volta are server-based modes, making it a lot more in our control for those modes to progress across either generation. We had to make a tough call on what to trade off, with regards to time.”

Similarly, online seasons, co-op seasons and Pro Clubs progress cannot be switched between consoles.

Do I lose my data on the old format?

No. In fact you can switch back and forth from PS5 to PS4, or Xbox Series X to Xbox One, and back as many times as you wish. However, you cannot switch between PlayStation and Microsoft consoles. The Nintendo Switch and PC versions of FIFA 21 do not have any dual entitlement functionality.

How long does FIFA 21 dual entitlement last?

FIFA 21 dual entitlement lasts until the release date of FIFA 22, likely in late September 2021.

EA Sports announced today that the iconic football star will be joining the FIFA 21 roster on December 4.

The former footballer, who played for Manchester United, Real Madrid and LA Galaxy, will be joining the squad of ICONS with his base and middle ICON items in FUT 21. Beckham’s Item in FUT celebrates the footballer’s LaLiga debut for Real Madrid against Real Betis in the 03/04 season, with links to Real Madrid, LaLiga Santader, and England.

The ratings on his untradeable item are reflective of his LaLiga debut for Real Madrid, but different than those of his ICON items, which will reflect three eras of his football career.

Anyone who plays FIFA 21 before January 15 2021 will be given a unique untradeable Beckham Item for their squad in FIFA Ultimate Team, starting December 15. A new version of the game, FIFA 21: David Beckham Edition will also be available to purchase along with regular retail version. 

If you’re planning on upgrading from PS4 or Xbox One to a next-generation console like PS5,  Xbox Series X or an Xbox Series S, you’ll be able to carry over your progress in FIFA Ultimate Team and Volta Football, including David Beckham on your new console. EA have also clarified that you don’t need to buy the David Beckham Edition of FIFA 21 to obtain the Beckham items in FUT and Volta.

FIFA 21 released in October for PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC. The game is also available on next-gen consoles including PS5, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S.

The extensive FIFA 21 patch notes lay out the changes in Title Update 4, and they make changes all across the game. The most noticeable tweaks right off the bat are those changes to referee calls: specifically, refs will be less likely overall to hand out yellow cards, and they’ll also be less likely to end the game at inopportune moments during stoppage time.

In order to pull off the Ball Roll to Scoop Turn combination, your players must now have a five-star Skill Move Rating, which should make your laugh a little easier in Division Rivals. On the other hand, anybody can engage in the “Royal Wave” celebration now that it’s been added to the pool of random picks.

Here’s the full set of changes delivered in the latest FIFA 21 patch notes, straight from the official forum post.
