The adidas season has landed in FIFA Rivals, and with it comes some of the freshest players, gear, and boots we’ve ever seen in-game.

We handed the mic to our resident football fanatic and sideline shouter, Jeff Winton, and asked him one simple question:

“Who are the must-chase players this season?”

He didn’t hesitate.

🧠 Jeff’s Top 5 Picks

From Mythical megastars to sneaky good Commons, here’s who Jeff believes every gaffer should be chasing in FIFA Rivals this adidas season:

👑 Mythical – Mohamed Salah

🇪🇬 Forward

“Rapid. Ruthless. Relentless.” – Jeff

Salah is the must-have player of the adidas season in FIFA Rivals. Mythical-tier rarity with Mythical-tier impact, Salah’s pace, dribbling, and clinical finishing make him a game-changer. Pair him with a pair of adidas boots and defenders won’t know what hit them.

💫 Legendary – Julián Álvarez

🇦🇷 Forward

“He doesn’t just score goals, he makes your whole team tick.” – Jeff

Known as El Araña, Álvarez is a relentless forward who presses hard, links play, and finishes with flair. His Legendary card is fast, tenacious, and fits perfectly in high-press attacking lineups.

⚡ Epic – Harvey Barnes

🏴 Forward

“Feels like he’s got Supers on 24/7 that lad.” – Jeff

Admin picking a Toon Army player? What are the chances! Barnes is built for counterattacks and chaos. With his adidas boots on, his acceleration and shooting become lethal. Don’t sleep on this Epic-tier pick, he might just outscore your Legends.

🎯 Rare – Morato

🇧🇷 Defender

“Reads the game like a seasoned vet.” – Jeff

Morato brings physical presence, smart positioning, and calm composure at the back. His Rare version is ideal for squads needing a reliable centre-back who can break up attacks, and build from the back in style.

🧤 Common – Robin Olsen

🇸🇪 Goalkeeper

“Budget baller. Solid hands. Top value if you ask me.” – Jeff

Not every hero wears a cape. Some wear adidas gloves. Olsen is one of the most dependable Commons in the game and offers big-game presence without burning your squad budget.
