Who Could We Expect To See In Round 4 Of The E-League?
Marcel Desially, 91 – Most players have been using Sergio Ramos and Rio Ferdinand and the back and it’s unlikely that competitors will change this up. Desially could make an appearance in either Kiran Gupta’s or James Williams line up
Diego Maradona, 97 – Maradona provides an exciting option from the bench as his low stamina suggests it would be unlikely that competitors would start him in matches. It’s expected Maradona will be making cameo appearances throughout the night off the bench for most sides.
Ronaldinho, 94 – Some of the biggest EA SPORTS™ FIFA18 competitors regard Ronaldinho as the most enjoyable card to use in Ultimate Team, the bounce of his ponytail in game combined with his skills may see him continued to be included in starting lineups.
Michael Owen, 91 – A clinical finisher of whom you’d not want to give any space to. Similar to Maradona, Owen lacks certain attributes such as strength to consider him in the starting XI. However, his blistering pace and finishing attributes make him a good contender to come off the bench and work some magic.
