#2 – Philipp Lahm

Philipp Lahm will go down in history as one of the best in the Bayern Munich and Germany's history. The retired footballer hung up his boots in 2017 but before that won almost all the trophies possible with his club and country.

The German started off as a left-back at Bayern, then became a right-back and ended his career playing a central defensive midfielder. His cards should be rated at 86, 89 and 92.

#1 – Andrea Pirlo

Andrea Pirlo retired in 2017 but was still a part of FIFA 18, unlike the other players in this list. The Italian is considered one of the classiest men in the world of football and not having him in FIFA 20 would be a bigger surprise than AC Milan letting him leave for free.

The Italian played his entire career in midfield, predominantly as a defensive midfielder. His card should be rated at 87, 93 and 89.
