Overall Rating: 76

Club: Benfica

Position: RB

Another cracking signing from the Portuguese league, Nelson Semedo is hard to top at right-back. He's a competant enough defender with his key defensive stats mostly falling in the 70s, but Semedo really excels at the other end of the pitch, and comes-out as one of FIFA 17's most effective attacking full-backs.

Recent match engine alterations means that pace isn't quite the be all/end all it used to be, but it's still vitally important, and FIFA is still skewed in its favor. With 86 acceleration and 91 sprint speed, Semedo is lightning, and his all-round dibbling stat of 76 makes him more than capable of skinning a defender before whipping a ball intro the box (crossing: 74).

With 85 stamina and high/medium workrate, Semedo will keep bombing up and down your flank all day long. Not a great choice if you prefer to play with conservative full-backs, but Semedo is a great driving RB.

Approx. Cost: 900 coins.
