Mbappé (93 OVR, ST)
With 99 pace, 95 shooting, and 95 dribbling, Mbappé is already one of the strongest players out there. As his team, Real Madrid, is also one of the remaining competitors in the Champions League, his card could reach 96 or 97 OVR with possible upgrades, a Role++ boost, and an SM/WF boost.
However, since Mbappé is such a strong player, his card is very sought after. That means you’ll have to be willing to drop quite a few coins to get him. Some listings reach up to 12 million coins.
Salah (93 OVR, RW)
Salah will leave Liverpool this season, so if you want to score his Liverpool card, now is your chance. You won’t regret it because this player is also a good addition to your Road to the Final team. Liverpool is one of the best teams in Europe this season, and Salah already has some decent stats.
His Quick Step+, Finesse+, 93 Pace, 93 Shooting, 90 Passing, 94 Dribbling, 80 Physicality, and even 5-star WF will likely go up from here. For Salah, you’ll pay around 2.6 million coins on the transfer market.
Rashford (92 OVR, LM)
Rashford is a steady player, and this is very much reflected in his stats. The stats speak for themselves: 95 Pace, 90 Shooting, 92 Passing, 92 Dribbling, and 85 Physicality. But also with Playstyles like Power Shot, Technical, Rapid, Quick Step, and Tiki Taka, there’s more than enough to like about this player.
His team, Barcelona, is doing well too, making Rashford a safe bet for the Road to the Final. His card will cost you around 3.3 million coins on the market.
Hincapié (91 OVR, CB)
All eyes were on Hincapié when he made his move to Arsenal, and he has been performing well there ever since! His team has reached the UCL quarter-finals and is definitely capable of going further. This, combined with stats like 92 Defending, 90 Physicality, and 86 Dribbling, makes him a very good contender for Road to the Final.
What’s also nice about Hincapié is that his card is not as expensive as some other players' cards. If you’re looking for him on the transfer market, it’ll cost you around 875,000 coins.
Budget picks: Gibbs-White (90 OVR, CAM) and Yates (91 OVR, CDM)
If you’re looking for some more budget-friendly options, Gibbs-White and Yates might be good contenders. For Gibbs-White, you’ll pay around 62,000 coins, and Yates will cost you around 260,000. If Forest's European run continues, both could become very usable with the Role++ and SM/WF upgrades from later milestones.
