Like Fred, Pepe is a player who has struggled to impress in real-life, having spent much of his time at Arsenal on the bench despite moving for a whopping 72 million ($99m) in 2022. Pepe’s difficulties in real-life seem to have affected his price in FC 25 Coins. as an average cost of 1.500 is dirt cheap for a player as dangerous as he is on the wing. For his price, the Ivory Coast international has a great range of pace and dribbling stats that allow him to cut inside from the right-wing onto his favored left foot and potentially slot in a teammate or hit the top corner.
Diogo Jota has been in incredible form for Liverpool this season, finding the back of the net plenty of times, with heading surprisingly being a dangerous weapon for the 5 ft 8 Portuguese international. With 84 Shot Power, 84 Finishing, and 85 Attacking Position, Jota is incredibly effective at getting into goalscoring positions from the left-wing, arriving at just the right time to tuck away crosses.
At just 1.100 coins, Dominic Calvert-Lewin is an absolute steal for anyone utilizing wing-play tactics with the intent of pumping numerous crosses into the box. With 84 Attacking Position, 89 Heading Accuracy, and 91 Jumping, Calvert-Lewin is able to convert bucket-loads of crosses while soaring over defenders in spectacular fashion. The Englishman’s 76 Acceleration and 65 Balance do harm his ability to break defensive lines, but for those willing to build their attack around Everton’s forward and prioritize crosses, Calvert-Lewin will soon prove his worth.
As has been the case in FIFA games for well over a decade now, Acceleration is the first stat that players look at for almost any position. Granted, Acceleration isn’t as overpowered as it was in games like buy FC 25 Coins. where players would be condemned for scoring a “sweaty goal” similar to using Oddjob in GoldenEye 007. but it’s still an incredibly important stat in the latest game. Consequently, players with high pace are highly sought after. This is why Dan James is a great budget option, as although his end product is lacking, his 96 Acceleration and 95 Sprint Speed let him stretch the play and get in behind opposition lines.
