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

4. Riyad Mahrez

We shouldn't need to extol the virtues of Riyad Mahrez to anybody who regularly watches Premier League football. The talented Algerian can play as a winger, attacking midfielder or even an auxiliary striker should your team be smashed by injuries. Oh, and he also wants away from Leicester in real-life too.

At just 26, he's close to the peak of his career. You will want that at your club in Career Mode, because Mahrez could be a real match-winner when you need it most. Not only can he dazzle defenders with tricky skill moves (perfect for FIFA), but his shots are lethal in their accuracy. Aside from that, Riyad's crossing and passing stats will remain high this year.

This is the kind of buy you make early in the transfer window, then worry about what money you have left for others afterwards. Go a cash-rich club like PSG or Real Madrid and you might not be concerned about how much it takes anyway, but there's also the chance to take Mahrez from Leicester as one of the top Premier League sides.
