FC 26’s cover star, Jude Bellingham, is the highest-rated midfielder in the game, alongside the current Ballon d’Or holder, Rodri. The table’s summit is populated by other household names, who’ll be difficult to lure away from their present clubs in FC 26 Career Mode.
This is why we recommend directing your attention to the pair of Nico Barella and Hakan Calhanoglu. Both can be recruited for reasonable prices, with Barella being the better long-term signing. But if money isn’t an issue, you could always consider a record-breaking move for Cole Palmer, if you’re looking for offensive ingeniunity, or Moises Caicedo, if defensive resillilence is your top requirement.
