Value: $41,000,000

OVR: 81

Anthony Martial is one of the meta strikers in FIFA Ultimate Team. In Career Mode, however, he fails to find his place in a squad that already has Ronaldo (91) and Cavani (85) as striker options, with Rashford (85) or Greenwood (78) standing in.

Martial has a starting potential of 84 and is likely to be demanded by other top clubs in FIFA 22 Career Mode.

2) Luke Shaw (LB)

Value: $57,500,000

OVR: 84

Luke Shaw received a +2 in OVR from FIFA 21 as a result of the incredible season he enjoyed as one of the best full-backs in the Premier League. Despite his ability, the club have the finances to acquire one of the top left-backs in the world.

Alphonso Davies (83) and Theo Hernandez (84) have a potential of 90 and can become the best left-backs in FIFA 22 Career Mode.

Value: $50,000,000

OVR: 84

The club's captain forms a centre-half partnership with 4-time UCL winner Raphael Varane (86) in real life. Maguire, in FIFA 22 lacks pace (50) to keep up with the best forwards in the Premier League.

Career Mode managers can utilize the club's grand budget and sign anyone from Ruben Dias (88), Marquinhos (87) or Matthijs de Ligt (85).
