Goals win games, but playmakers make them possible. This season is all about the visionaries, the pass-masters, and the creative sparks who turn matches on their head in FIFA Rivals.
As always, we’ve passed the mic to Jeff Winton, our on-pitch oracle, to spotlight the stars you need in your squad.
Here’s who caught Jeff’s eye this season.
🧠 Jeff’s Top 5 Picks
From midfield maestros to lightning wingers, Jeff’s locked in on five Playmakers who can change everything with one touch.
👑 Mythical – Bukayo Saka🏴
Forward
“Sharp, fearless, impossible to stop.” – Jeff
England’s golden boy is more than just goals. His runs open up the game, his passes create space, and his creativity makes teammates shine. The definition of a modern playmaker.
💫 Legendary – Martin Ødegaard 🇳🇴
Midfielder
“Vision like a chess grandmaster.” – Jeff
A pure midfield conductor. Ødegaard sees passes before anyone else, controls the tempo, and makes the players around him look unstoppable. If you want assists and creativity, he’s your man.
🎯 Epic – Antoine Semenyo 🇬🇭
Forward
“Relentless, powerful, never stops running.” – Jeff
Semenyo’s the kind of player defenders hate to face. He presses high, drives straight at the backline, and has the strength to hold his own. He might not always play the final pass, but his energy and direct play create chances out of nothing.
⚽ Rare – Ritsu Dōan 🇯🇵
Midfielder
“Sharp, technical, always looking forward.” – Jeff
Dōan thrives in the tightest spaces, using his close control and quick decision-making to carve open defences. He’s the type of playmaker who can switch the tempo in an instant and deliver the pass that changes the game.
⚽ Common – Nilson Angulo 🇪🇨
Forward
“Energy, flair, and no fear.” – Jeff
Angulo plays like every touch matters. Direct, sharp, and always looking to make something happen, he’s the kind of forward who stretches defences and gives midfielders room to work their magic. A fresh spark with serious upside for your squad.
🖋️ What’s the Playmakers Season All About?
The spotlight is on creators. The ones who provide the spark, the assist, and the clever play that turns half-chances into goals. This season celebrates the artistry of football, the players who make it all tick.
🧠 Jeff’s Final Word
“The Playmakers Season is my kind of football. Clever touches, killer passes, moments of vision that change a game. These players don’t just play football — they create it.”
