FC 27 TOTW 8: Full Squad, Best Players & Value Picks

Trinity Rodman (88 LM)

Rodman is the clear star of TOTW 8. Her 92 pace, 84 shooting, 85 dribbling and 84 physical make her dangerous from either flank, and the card can also play RM, RW and LW. She has 4★ weak foot, a Rapid PlayStyle+, and the acceleration and sprint speed to stretch a defensive line immediately.

Rodman’s main drawback is her price, though she does have 4★ skill moves. Her 71 long passing limits her distribution, while 75 balance leaves room for improvement in tight spaces. She is best used to attack space and get into shooting positions. Her limited passing PlayStyles and lack of Low Driven Shot also leave her with fewer options when an opponent closes down her running lanes.

At around 427,000 coins on PlayStation/Xbox and 849,000 on PC, Rodman is a major investment. A console price closer to 350,000–400,000 coins would make her a more appealing upgrade.

Fermín López (86 CM)

Fermín is one of the most versatile midfielders in the release. With 85 shooting, 82 passing and 86 dribbling, he is well suited to carrying the ball forward and arriving in the box. His 65 defending offers some support when tracking back, while CM, LM and CAM eligibility gives him several routes into a Barcelona or LaLiga squad.

His 83 pace is solid, though he lacks the speed to consistently pull away from quicker opponents. The combination of 75 physical and 3★ skill moves also limits his options under pressure. Even so, the broad stat upgrade and added attacking PlayStyle make this a useful step up from his base card.

Fermín costs approximately 178,000 coins on PlayStation/Xbox and 217,000 on PC. He is still a significant purchase, but his positional flexibility and links make him a strong option for squads that need more attacking quality from midfield.

Kerolin Nicoli (86 CAM)

Kerolin offers the best attacking profile among the 86-rated cards. She combines 86 pace and dribbling with 80 shooting, 83 passing and 79 physical, and can also line up at RM, RW or ST. Her 4★ skills and 4★ weak foot make her comfortable as a central creator or as an inside forward.

The main area for improvement is her shooting. An 80 shooting rating is usable, but it leaves room for improvement if Kerolin is your main goalscorer. Her 84 stamina is adequate, though her workload still needs managing in a high-pressing system. The substantial dribbling boost, improved passing and shooting, and added Quick Step make her an appealing attacking upgrade.

At roughly 80,000 coins on PlayStation/Xbox and 290,000 on PC, Kerolin offers much better value on console. She is an appealing choice for a Barcelona attack that needs a player who can move between central and wide roles, though the PC price demands a much larger commitment.

Morgan Rogers (85 LM)

Rogers is the most balanced wide midfielder in the release. His 80 pace, 84 shooting, 83 passing, 85 dribbling, 68 defending and 80 physical allow him to contribute in both phases, and he can be moved into CM, CAM or LW. That defensive base is valuable in a 4-4-2 or 4-2-3-1 where the wide player must track back.

His biggest limitation is 80 pace, which makes him better suited to combining with teammates than repeatedly beating defenders in a sprint. Chip Shot adds another finishing option, but the loss of Relentless reduces his stamina support for a role that involves constant tracking back.

Rogers costs about 104,000 coins on PlayStation/Xbox and 98,000 on PC. His balanced attributes and multiple positions give him plenty of uses in a hybrid squad, especially if you want a wide midfielder who can also contribute centrally.

Yannick Carrasco (84 LM)

Carrasco is the pace-and-dribbling value pick among the higher-rated attackers. His 89 pace, 83 shooting and 86 dribbling are immediately usable, while 81 passing and 60 defending keep him from being a one-dimensional runner. He can also play ST or LW, which gives him more routes into a starting XI.

His 75 physical is only average and the 60 defending limits his value as a true two-way midfielder. He is also less convincing as a central striker than his wide attributes suggest. Use a Chemistry Style that improves finishing and physical output if you want him to cut inside regularly.

Carrasco costs around 39,500 coins on PlayStation/Xbox and 43,000 on PC. For an attacker with 89 pace and 86 dribbling, that is an accessible price. He is a strong value pick if you need a direct winger without spending six figures.

Jan Paul van Hecke (83 CB)

Van Hecke is the standout defensive upgrade in TOTW 8. The card has 84 defending, 83 physical and 76 pace, a much more practical combination than his base version. The 78 passing is also enough for a defender who is expected to start attacks rather than play as a deep midfielder.

The major pace, agility and balance boosts make him more mobile than his base card, and a Shadow Chemistry Style can further improve his recovery speed and defending. He does not have a PlayStyle+, so his appeal rests on his defensive attributes, physical presence and price.

At around 30,000 coins on PlayStation/Xbox and 33,000 on PC, van Hecke is an affordable defensive upgrade. His 84 defending and 83 physical make him worth considering for Premier League and Tottenham hybrids.

Ermedin Demirović (82 ST)

Demirović is a straightforward choice for a budget attack. His 85 shooting, 82 dribbling and 80 physical give him the tools to finish chances and protect the ball. His 79 pace benefits from a Hunter or Engine Chemistry Style, while 75 passing is enough for simple combinations around the box.

At around 10,500 coins on both console and PC, he is an inexpensive striker for a starter squad or an SBC that requires an In-Form item. Keep his role focused on finishing moves and holding up the ball.

Yasin Ayari (81 CAM)

Ayari is a useful low-cost link player. He offers 80 passing, 82 dribbling and 77 defending from CAM, which lets him help build play and press after losing the ball. His 77 pace and 79 shooting are the main reasons he should be used as a creator rather than the focal point of an attack.

At approximately 10,250 coins on PlayStation/Xbox and 10,500 on PC, Ayari is an affordable option for a starter hybrid or an SBC that needs an In-Form midfielder.

İlayda Altunkulak (80 LM)

Altunkulak gives budget squads the most complete wide-attacking package of the three. She has 84 pace, 82 shooting and 84 dribbling, while 67 defending is enough to contribute in a wide-midfield system. Her 76 passing and 65 physical prevent her from being a perfect all-rounder, but the attacking numbers are strong for the price.

At around 9,900 coins on PlayStation/Xbox and 10,750 on PC, she offers plenty of attacking quality for a small outlay. She can fill a starting spot in a budget team or provide fresh pace from the bench.
