Paul Pogba: 87

Juan Mata: 84

Ander Herrera: 84

Nemanja Matic: 83

Michael Carrick: 80

Marouane Fellaini: 79

Scott McTominay: 63

Callum Gribbin: 63

Matthew Willock: 59

The arrival of Nemanja Matic has already had a hugely transformational effect on United's playing style this season. Rated at 83 overall (harsh, if you ask us), the Serb's presence has freed Paul Pogba (87) from his defensive shackles and allowed him to play a more cavalier creative role, which should be replicated in FIFA 18. They'll likely be the first names on your team sheet, and we can probably expect to see Matic's rating increase throughout the campaign, given his importance.

They're supported by Ander Herrera, who comes in at 84 overall, and Michael Carrick (80), who's still a reliable deputy at 34 years old. Marouane Fellaini's numbers are the same as last year, meanwhile, so he should still be a capable midfield battering ram, just as he is in real life.

Juan Mata has dropped from 85 to 84 in FIFA 18, but has little competition for a starting spot in attacking midfield. Youngsters Gribbin, McTominay, and Willock are all expendable, with their potential ratings sitting at 81, 77, and 76 respectively.
