FIFA 19 Career Mode: 10 Players You Need To Buy First

4. Gianluigi Donnarumma

Current Club: AC Milan

Position: GK

Why You Should Buy: No, no FIFA article looking at must-buy players for your first season in Career Mode will stop mentioning Gianluigi Donnarumma until he leaves AC Milan. It almost happened a short while back, and it should happen in your management sim.

At 19, Donnarumma is already well-placed to become one of the best keepers in the world. If you're willing to splash a little more cash for his services, then he's arguably a better choice than the aforementioned Jordan Pickford; in last year's game, the Milan miracle had a starting rating of 82 compared to Jordan's 77.

Donnarumma is the kind of investment you can build a team around. Buy him early (at significant cost, admittedly), and you'll probably never need to buy another goalkeeper for the rest of your Career Mode. At least until you get bored, pick another team and repeat the cycle.
