Puma’s new star signing rocks! The European transfer window is about to shut, but Puma have snapped up an awesome signing! BARCELONA striker LUIS SUAREZ will be wearing their FUTURE boots in 2018-19, and we reckon he’ll tear it up in them! GOLDEN SHOE? Suarez is the only player to beat Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo to the European Golden Shoe since 2009. He smashed in 31 goals for Liverpool in 2013-14 to share it with CR7, and won it outright two years later for Barça. We reckon he’s due another! MAGIC MESSI! Anybody will score goals with a strike partner like Leo! The duo netted just under 60 in La Liga last season, and assisted each other 12 times too, making them the most deadly partnership in Spain!

They can blow teams away with their ace attacking and pressing tactics, but Middlesbrough are a really well organised unit. It’ll be a total clash of styles at Elland Road – who’ll come out on top STUTTGART v BAYERN Stuttgart are going to need their main man Mario Gomez to deliver here – they’ve lost 16 of the last 17 games in all comps against Bayern! VFB did hammer them 4-1 at the Allianz Arena last time out though, so the Bundesliga champs will want revenge – and to start a new winning run against them!

CREATIVE CAM Last season, Bernardo usually y played d on n the wing, but the signing of Riyad Mahrez means he’s free to play as a CAM.

STAR SIGNING FABINHO LIVERPOOL/MONACO Fabinho’s got a Liverpool card on FUT, but on Career Mode he’s still a Monaco player with tons of potential.

WONDERKID WILFRED NDIDI LEICESTER The 21-year-old has some quality defensive stats and is a real beast with solid numbers for strength, stamina and jumping, so he’ll win loads of headers and challenges. At his young age, he’s only going to get better too! FUT BARGAIN IDRISSA GUEYE EVERTON Gueye’s been one of the Prem’s top tacklers since he arrived in 2015 – and he’s got the FIFA stats to prove it!

LEICESTER V LIVERPOOL Liverpool face a really tough test at the King Power Stadium! If Liverpool want to seriously challenge Man.
