Pinged Pass+, Intercept, Press Proven and Bruiser give Mainoo a more convincing midfield case than his 89 OVR alone. He combines 90 Dribbling with 88 Defending, while 89 Short Passing and a 4★ weak foot support playing out after a recovery. His best use is as the deeper member of a midfield partnership, with a more attacking runner ahead of him.

His 81 Pace and 76 Shooting make him less compelling as a roaming attacking midfielder. The standard card was quoted at approximately 4.4 million coins on console and 5 million on PC when checked on October 17, so he belongs on a premium shortlist rather than a value list. That price asks you to pay heavily for midfield control; it is difficult to justify if several positions still need upgrades.

Anticipate+ is the main reason to put Pubill near the top of the defensive shortlist. It sits alongside Block, Aerial Fortress and Bruiser, complementing 90 Defensive Awareness, 90 Standing Tackle and 88 Strength. At 191 cm, with 93 Jumping, he offers a clear aerial presence as well as ground defending.

His CB/RB eligibility provides flexibility, but his attributes make centre-back the more attractive use of an expensive purchase. The standard version was listed at approximately 1.67 million coins on console and 2 million on PC on October 17. With 83 Pace, he still needs sensible defensive positioning. Jeltsch is the much cheaper option below; Pubill’s premium buys the stronger defensive package and Anticipate+, rather than a huge pace advantage.

Low Driven Shot+, 4★ skill moves and a 4★ weak foot give Rayan a stronger finishing case than a simple comparison of face stats suggests. His RM, RW, CAM and ST positions also make him easier to fit into different attacking setups. With 91 Pace, 90 Dribbling and 80 Physicality, he is the first attacking card to examine for direct runs and carrying the ball towards goal.

The detail to watch is 78 Stamina: repeated sprints and pressing can make a late replacement useful. His 86 Agility and 80 Balance also mean that 90 Dribbling should not be read as identical movement to every smaller technical attacker. Mastantuono remains a credible creative alternative, but Rayan’s 4★ weak foot and Low Driven Shot+ make him the more rounded choice for a role that must finish chances as well as create them.

Brown is the choice for a left flank that needs a runner and ball carrier: 92 Pace, 87 Dribbling and 4★ skill moves support advancing beyond midfield, while Anticipate and Slide Tackle give him defensive tools when possession changes. LB/LM eligibility also suits squads that alternate between a back four and a wider midfield role.

His 83 Defending matches Hato’s, but Brown adds six Pace and seven Dribbling. The compromise is 75 Physicality against Hato’s 81, plus a 3★ weak foot. Choose Brown for how you use the left side, especially progression and recovery runs; choose a more physical defender if that position mainly protects the back line. He is already 87 OVR, so starts-based rating growth is not part of the purchase case.

Thompson deserves a place in the main shortlist because Quick Step+ adds a clear distinguishing feature to her 90 Pace. Her 89 Standing Tackle, 92 Balance and 91 Stamina support repeated work along the right side, while Anticipate, Jockey and Block round out a useful defensive PlayStyle selection. RB/RM eligibility provides another route into the team.

The key limitation is 60 Strength, despite the respectable defensive face stat. She is better suited to staying close to a winger and recovering position than being chosen for physical dominance. Her 3★ skill moves and 3★ weak foot also put a ceiling on elaborate attacking play. Compared with Brown, the attraction is the combination of Quick Step+ and stronger headline Defending, rather than greater versatility on the ball.

Brunner earns consideration for 88 Shooting, 88 Dribbling and a 4★/4★ combination. His 91 Finishing and 89 Shot Power point towards a role centred on getting shots away in the box. He is a more natural comparison for a dedicated striker slot than simply choosing the highest-rated winger and moving that player centrally.

His 86 Pace is below Kanjinga’s 92 and Tresoldi’s 89, while 74 Physicality is also lower than both. That makes him less attractive if your entire attack relies on running behind or overpowering a centre-back. Pick him for the shooting and technical profile; Tresoldi offers a stronger budget case for a more physical, direct striker.

At around 29k coins, Canales offers an economical way to add a technically capable midfielder. His CAM/CM/CDM positions, 4★ weak foot, 87 Short Passing and 88 Long Passing work well with Tiki Taka and Long Ball Pass. With 90 Stamina and 85 Physicality, he has enough supporting attributes to contribute beyond one final pass.

His 76 Defending makes a CM role beside a stronger ball-winner more appealing than treating him as your sole defensive screen. At CAM, 80 Pace and 80 Finishing also favour a supporting creator over a primary scorer. His value comes from covering several midfield needs for roughly 29k, rather than matching Mainoo’s defensive quality.

Jeltsch gives a budget defence 86 Defending, 87 Strength and 89 Standing Tackle for around 30k coins. Anticipate and Aerial Fortress support the role, while 84 Short Passing and a 4★ weak foot help keep first passes practical. The price gap to Pubill is substantial even though their face Pace differs by only one point.

The compromise lies in the detail: 78 Acceleration, 70 Agility and 76 Stamina deserve attention in a high defensive line. He also lacks Pubill’s Anticipate+. For a squad that needs a competent starting centre-back while keeping coins for other positions, however, Jeltsch is a much more proportionate purchase.

Tresoldi’s quoted 57k console / 47.5k PC price buys 89 Pace, 88 Finishing, 88 Strength, 90 Heading Accuracy and a 4★ weak foot. Power Shot, Precision Header and Rapid reinforce a direct striker profile. His 90 Stamina is another useful advantage for a forward expected to keep making runs throughout the match.

His 72 Passing needs context: 90 Short Passing supports simple layoffs, while 71 Vision and 71 Long Passing make him less suitable as the attack’s main playmaker. That is a stronger buying case than dismissing all of his combination play because of the face stat. With 3★ skill moves and 82 Agility, he is best used to finish and connect direct moves rather than repeatedly dribble through a crowded box.
