As always, we handed the mic to Jeff Winton, our on-pitch oracle, to break down the must-chase stars in this black-and-yellow bonanza. Here’s who caught Jeff’s eye this week.

🧠 Jeff’s Top 4 Picks

Wall-like goalkeepers. Blistering wingers. Midfield maestros. Jeff’s gone big this time, picking four game-changers who could define your squad this week and beyond.

👑 Legendary – Serhou Guirassy
🇬🇳 Forward

“Clinical. Powerhouse. Built for goals.” – Jeff

A nightmare for centre-backs, Guirassy can bully defenders, score from pretty much anywhere, and turn half-chances into highlights. That’s why he’s Jeff’s pitch pick for Legendary, and one who’s ready to bag you plenty of goals in your FIFA Rivals squad!

💫 Epic – Jobe Bellingham
🏴 Midfielder

“Silky touch, machine in the midfield” – Jeff

Box-to-box brilliance. Wins the ball, makes things happen, and has the stamina to run games into the ground. After Jobe’s big move from England, he’s ready to light up the league in Germany, and your team in FIFA Rivals.

🎯 Rare – Julian Brandt
🇩🇪 Midfielder

“Passes so good they should be framed.” – Jeff

Composed, creative, and a constant threat in the final third. Brandt is the heartbeat of any BVB midfield. Proven in his position, big player for BVB, and ready to take over your team in FIFA Rivals. Is he the key to your squad?

Common – Julien Duranville
🇧🇪 Forward

“Rapid. Tricky. Defenders hate him.” – Jeff

A fearless young winger with blistering acceleration and the confidence to take on anyone. Perfect for stretching defences, you’ll normally find him running at pace on the left wing. One to watch for the future!
