7. Thiago Silva
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=naadc-XCHcs#t=280 (From 4:45) Though his preamble in what we presume to be German means very little to us, any FUT fan the world over would understand the joy felt as this gamer realises he has bagged himself not just a Thiago Silva card but in its extremely rare TOTY form. Such is the volume of his yells of THIAGO SILVA that you are highly recommended to turn down your speakers/headphones before watching this lads reaction. His yells and expletives are well justified however. Even in his common form the Brazilian is a beast the TOTY card however is probably the games finest centre back and sells for nearly 500,000 gold at auction (around £80 in real money). With 87-pace, 95-defending and 91-heading, Silva basically combines the speed of a winger with the strength and tackling of an old-school centre back. His 79-dribbling and 81-passing also make him an invaluable tool to supplement an offence, as seemingly all Brazilian defenders are all too prone to do. That blistering speed stat at least means he should be back at his post rapidly rather than leaving you open for a counter-attack. Thiago is also a flexible player and can be used as the last wall of defence in either a Brazilian international or a French Ligue 1 squad.
