Even harder than luring Gareth Bale back to Spurs would be signing a top player for a lower league club. Will it be impossible, or will EA's love for the dramatic side of footy make sure the new transfer negotiations system enables shock moves? There's only one way to find out.

Up until now, trying to buy a star name when in the Championship has resulted in the same old boring dialogue. "I'm a top player at my current club and this move doesn't suit me" is the cry, as though Paulo Dybala was ever going to sign for Aston Villa. Maybe, just maybe, the renewed focus on player bonuses and transfer add-ons could make it achievable this time.

Build up enough money and it might happen. For example, what if you offer the Juventus striker a ridiculous goal bonus, or are able to sneak in a crucial sell-on clause should Villa be promoted to the Premier League? This will be one of FIFA 18's biggest challenges, but also one of the most gratifying if you're able to pull it off.
