Nico Paz
Position: CAM, CM
Club: US Como 1907
Nation: Argentina
Market Value: £35.5m
Nico Paz was perhaps the breakout number ten from the 2024/25 season. His combination of off-ball movement, press-resistant dribbling, defence-splitting passes and relentless pressing makes him an attacking midfielder built for the modern game.
Ashwin Raman
In game, he can become one of the very best. That's why he's expensive. But if you can afford him, it's worth it. sentences highlighting key in-game stats and in-game information, such as release clause values.
- Overall: 79
- Potential: 89
- Potential Growth: +10
Rodrigo Mora
Position: CAM, LW, CM, ST
Club: FC Porto
Nation: Portugal
Market Value: £15.5m
Diminutive, technical, punchy – Rodrigo Mora is an all-damage playmaker that has excelled in youth tournaments for club and country. Now, he is pushing through at Porto.
Bence Bocsák
Like Nico Paz, Mora will develop into one of the best players in his position and he's valued at half the price of the Argentinian. Two sentences highlighting key in-game stats and in-game information, such as release clause values.
- Overall: 76
- Potential: 89
- Potential Growth: +13
Can Uzun
Position: CAM, ST, CM
Club: Eintracht Frankfurt
Nation: Türkiye
Market Value: £8m
If Nico Paz was the breakout number ten of the 2024/25 season, Can Uzun is next up in 2025/26. His ball-striking ability off both feet saw him become the first-ever teenager to score in each of the opening four games of a Bundesliga season.
Two sentences highlighting key in-game stats and in-game information, such as release clause values. Why not sign Kenan Yıldız and Arda Güler and stack your midfield with Turkish wonderkids? Yıldız is a CAM with a 79 rating and 89 potential, Arda is an 81-rated RM with 89 potential.
- Overall: 74
- Potential: 83

Alvyn Sanches
Position: CAM
Club: BSC Young Boys
Nation: Switzerland
Market Value: £6m
Young Boys signed Alvyn Sanches from his boyhood club for a league record fee while he was still recovering from an ACL tear suffered on his Switzerland debut in March 2025. That's how good he is. He's worth the risk.
Jake Entwistle
On FC 26, you don't have to worry about that. You can sign him straight away and even before you have started developing him, Sanches has 85 Acceleration and 83 Sprint Speed combined with 86 Agility and 86 Balance. He's like a left-footed Eberechi Eze.
- Overall: 73
- Potential: 84
- Potential Growth: +11
Kees Smit
Position: CAM, CM, RM
Club: AZ Alkmaar
Nation: Netherlands
Market Value: £5m

Llew Davies
In game, Smit shoots up to 87 from 72. His Ball Control, Agility, Vision and Strength all look solid and he has 4-star Skill Moves and a 4-star Weak Foot.

Konstantinos Karetsas
Position: CAM, RW, CM
Club: Genk

Konstantinos Karetsas is a fun little footballer, a highlight-reel generator. He's the type of talent people would very happily pay to watch.
Two sentences highlighting key in-game stats and in-game information, such as release clause values. If you decide against collecting Turkish wonderkids, a Greek trio of Karetsas, Christos Tzolis and Giannis Konstantelias could be just as fun. Tzolis is an 80-rated LM with 87 potential while Konstantelias is a CAM that starts at 77 but can grow to 84 overall.
