FIFA 18 Career Mode: 10 Players You Need To Buy First

7. Marek Hamšík

Moving away from youngsters with bags of potential for a second, having the industrious talents of Marek Hamšík in your central midfield positions is a must. At 30 years of age, the Slovakian internationalist is one player many clubs have missed the boat on in real life. He seems happy enough plying his trade at Napoli in Serie A anyway.

Change that in FIFA 18 by bringing one of the best all-round midfielders in recent memory to your team of choice. Look at those dribbling, shooting and passing stats, they speak for themselves. Hamšík is a player who can devastate defences if you enjoy playing with one midfielder sitting just behind your forward line. From the edge of the box, he's deadly.

As if that wasn't enough, Hamšík has a 5-star weak foot stat, meaning you won't be penalised for shooting on either side. Take those snapshots around the box all you like, because they're likely to go in. You can probably pick up the Slovak for around £20-25 million this season.
