One Player to Sign on FIFA 20 Career Mode From Every MLS Club
By Ivan Ornelas
Portland Timbers: Jeremy Ebobisse
Country: USA
Position: ST/LM/RM
Age: 22
Starting Rating: 71
Potential: 79
Value: 3.5 million
Wage: 6K/week
Release Clause: 6 million
A cheaper Diego Rossi, Jeremy Ebobisse is an interesting MLS-based transfer target for similar reasons. Being able to play as a striker or on either flank, he starts at a young age with a cheap release clause, which makes him a great choice when building a squad.
Real Salt Lake: Albert Rusnak
Country: Slovakia
Position: CAM
Age: 24
Starting Rating: 76
Potential: 80
Value: 10 million
Wage: 8K/week
Release Clause: 15.3 million
Albert Rusnak is already one of the best midfielders in MLS and any hopes of short-term success for Real Salt Lake rest on his shoulders. He is a star player at the Rio Tinto Stadium, but at 24 years old, he could still find his way back to Europe. Maybe a return to the Eredivisie or even the Premier League where he failed to break into Manchester City is on the cards?
San Jose Earthquakes: Jackson Yueill
Country: USA
Position: CDM/CM
Age: 22
Starting Rating: 70
Potential: 78
Value: 2.4 million
Wage: 4K/week
Release Clause: 4.1 million
A player highly rated by both Matias Almeyda and San Jose Earthquakes fans, Jackson Yueill has all the tools needed to be the next great midfielder for the Quakes and USMNT. Though his best positions are as a holding or central midfielder, he is a capable playmaker that can do a job in a more advanced role as well.
Seattle Sounders FC: Cristian Roldan
Country: USA
Position: CDM/CM/RM
Age: 24
Starting Rating: 74
Potential: 81
Value: 7 million
Wage: 6K/week
Release Clause: 11.9 million
Another versatile American midfielder, albeit a more established option as reflected by his heftier release clause, Cristian Roldan has his fans as well as his critics, the latter largely from the USMNT perspective. But he’s another player who has played with many stars such as Clint Dempsey and Nicolas Lodeiro and has since proven he belongs. Can he prove it outside of CenturyLink Field?
Sporting Kansas City: Gianluca Busio
Country: USA
Position: CM/CAM
Age: 17
Starting Rating: 65
Potential: 78
Value: 900K
Wage: 500/week
Release Clause: 1.9 million
Gianluca Busio draws some parallels to Erik Palmer-Brown, a player who broke into Sporting Kansas City at 16 years old and was tipped for greatness. After being signed for Manchester City, Palmer-Brown has been a loan lifer playing for smaller leagues and sides across Europe. This has tempered expectations around their current prodigy, but Busio is still capable as shown in flashes in the 2019 MLS Season.
Toronto FC: Liam Fraser
Country: Canada
Position: CDM/CM
Age: 21
Starting Rating: 64
Potential: 77
Value: 825K
Wage: 1K/week
Release Clause: 1.8 million
If Liam Fraser continues to play well for Toronto TC, Canada could have a formidable midfield consisting of him, Mark-Anthony Kaye, and his Toronto FC teammate, Jonathan Osorio. A potential of 77 doesn’t seem too high but that’s more than enough to help the CanMNT make waves at the World Cup and grow into a contributor at least on a rotation basis.
Vancouver Whitecaps FC: Hwang In-beom
Country: South Korea
Position: CM/LW/CAM
Age: 22
Starting Rating: 72
Potential: 79
Value: 4.3 million
Wage: 6K/week
Release Clause: 7.1 million
Last but not least is the most exciting Asian talent in MLS. Like Albert Rusnak, Hwang In-beom is crucial to the Vancouver Whitecaps’ midfield and his overall ability is competitive. But with a potential of 79, the young South Korean has the chance to be a capable starter in many European leagues.
