Double as many assists as anyone else in Ligue 1, Di Maria could provide the spark in your team and is available on a free in 2021!

Still bossing the midfield, Luka Modric is the only player to break the Ronaldo-Messi Balon d'Or dynasty since 2008.

Modric will be 35 by the time he links up with your club, and although his rating may drop - he can at least provide strong cover in your squad.

Giorgio Chiellini (OVR 87 - POT 87)

Aged 35, Giorgio Chiellini could just be that bit too old, and it wouldn't surprise us if he retired at the end of the season.

If you get lucky and agree a contract expiry deal in January, he'd still be a great acquisition, just bear in mind his OVR could be around 83 by the team he plays for you.

Paul Pogba (OVR 86 - POT 87)

Can you get Paul Pogba back to his best?
