Wow. Just wow. Team of the Year (TOTY) Kylian Mbappe might just be the greatest card in the history of FIFA.
Currently priced at 9.4 million coins on the PS and Xbox transfer market, and 12.5 million coins on the PC market, Mbappe's TOTY item is the most expensive card in the game.
So, having used the Frenchman's TOTY card in the FUT Draft game mode within Ultimate Team, we're taking a look at whether it is worth the giant price tag.

First of all, let's dive into the PSG striker's upgraded TOTY item's stats.
Kylian Mbappe (OVR 97)
Arguably the best player in world football during the year 2022, Mbappe has been rewarded with a 97 OVR Team of the Year card in FUT 23.
Yes, you read those stats correctly. 99 pace, 98 dribbling, 96 shooting, 88 passing and 87 physicality make up Kylian's card.
The France international retains his five-star skill moves and four-star weak foot too, as well as High / Low work rates.
TOTY Mbappe has a total of 2455 in-game stats. The striker has eight in-game stats rated as 99, with acceleration, sprint speed, positioning, finishing, agility, reactions, dribbling and stamina all maxed out.
Magical Mbappe
Eleven goals and four assists in four FUT Draft matches give you an impression of how good Team of the Year Mbappe is.
However, even those stats honestly don't do this card justice.
The first thing that stands out when getting to grips with this card is Mbappe's speed and sharpness on the ball.
The difference between this Mbappe card and the rest is the pace at which he can carry the ball at his feet. It can only be compared to when you have sliders on in kick-off mode.
The 24-year-old's speed doesn't seem to decline at any point during the 90 minutes or even in extra time either, which could be due to his 99 stamina.
TOTY Mbappe can also change direction like no other card I have used before. His close control and acceleration after beating a defender are frightening.
Clinical Kylian
TOTY Mbappe is the definition of a goal machine.
You will not find a more clinical striker in FUT than this man. Mbappe will finish pretty much everything in and around the box.
His five-star skill moves and brilliant ball control can help you find a yard of space in tight matches and get your shot away with ferocity.
Once you start to green-time your efforts with Mbappe, the 'keeper will have no chance whatsoever.
It's common to see your opponent overcompensating when attempting to defend TOTY Mbappe, using two defenders to double up on the PSG number 10, leaving other attackers free of a mark.
So, make sure to be wary of this in-game and the sweaty goals will come easy.
Verdict
Kylian Mbappe's TOTY card really is the ULTIMATE FIFA 23 striker.
The French forward's 97-rated card might genuinely be the most overpowered player in the history of the game.
But, is any card really worth 10 million coins?
Well, this Mbappe card is as close as it gets to be worth that amount of coins and is no doubt the best card in Ultimate Team right now.
So, if you have the privilege to afford to purchase TOTY Mbappe, go ahead - you will NOT regret it.
For those of you who can't fork out 10 million coins, load up a FUT Draft and you might just get lucky.
