Choose Divine Mukasa if you need a midfielder who can defend and create; choose Fer López if you value a versatile creator; take Othmane Maamma to fill a wide role; and choose Will Lankshear if you need a physical striker. All four options are 84-rated and untradeable, so the deciding factors are position, PlayStyles, weak foot and the chance of earning live upgrades—not overall rating. This guide compares their current profiles and the available upgrade snapshots, which can change as Championship matches are played.

What is the EFL Championship Future Stars Pick?

It is an Ultimate Team Squad Building Challenge that awards one untradeable 84-rated Future Stars card from a choice of four: Fer López, Will Lankshear, Othmane Maamma or Divine Mukasa. Their listed clubs are Wolves, Middlesbrough, Watford and West Ham respectively. The cards were added on 10 October 2026, and the pick belongs to the EFL Championship Future Stars promotion—not Career Mode scouting, the separate Future Stars Academy Evolutions system or the different MLS pick.

Because the reward is a player pick rather than a random pack, you can select the card that best fits your squad. The item is untradeable, so the choice is not a way to take a card, sell it and recover the SBC cost. All four have the same 84 overall rating, which makes their positions, roles, PlayStyles, footedness and upgrade prospects more useful discriminators than OVR.

The SBC page lists a squad-rating target of 14,000 and permits players rated at least 45. FUT.GG’s solver snapshots put a cheapest solution at 13,940 coins using 17 84-rated rare players, and a recommended solution at 14,980 coins using three 86s and one 85. Other listed solutions ranged from 14,560 coins at +5% to 16,460 at +20%, while its quickest option was 22,100. A separate 11 October estimate put the cost at about 15,000 credits. These are dated solver estimates, not fixed prices: fodder values move, and the exact solution available to you may differ. See the FUT.GG SBC listing for its solution snapshot, then verify the current requirement and expiry in-game. The expiry was not included in the available listing, so do not assume the SBC remains active.

How should you compare the four options?

Start with the position you actually need to fill. Then compare the card’s PlayStyles to the actions you use in that role, followed by roles, alternate positions, weak foot, skill moves and AcceleRATE. Only after that should you weigh real-life starts and goal contributions toward February’s upgrades. This order avoids being distracted by a creator’s one-size-fits-all “best pick” label.

Special offer. See more information about Outbyte and uninstall instructions. Please review EULA and Privacy policy.
  1. Name the squad hole. Decide whether you need a striker, CAM, CM or a wide player. A nominal alternate position only matters if the card’s stats and roles suit the job.
  2. Match PlayStyles to the job. For a central creator, Incisive Pass and Technical may matter more than a winger’s Quick Step. For an aerial striker, Precision Header has a direct relationship to the chances you want to create.
  3. Check role fit and flexibility. Look at roles ++ and alternate positions, but do not confuse a role label with a full stat profile. Fer López can be placed at CDM, for example, but his 50 DEF and 35 interceptions do not make him a natural holding midfielder.
  4. Account for the card as it is now. Weak foot and skill moves affect how you can use the player before any later upgrade. A possible future bonus is not a substitute for current fit.
  5. Check the dated upgrade tracker. Starts, goals and assists count only under the promotion rules; the tracker can move after each relevant league match. Treat snapshots as dated evidence rather than a promise of future playing time.
  6. Use outside verdicts last. Published opinions can help clarify trade-offs, but their recommendations reflect their own squad assumptions and the date they were made.

That position-first approach is consistent with FIFPlay’s guidance that PlayStyle value depends on position, role and the actions a player performs most often. Its priority lists are recommendations, not an official EA ranking; use them as a way to compare profiles, not as a universal tier list. FIFPlay’s FC 27 position guide lists Incisive Pass, Technical and First Touch among CAM priorities, and Quick Step among the priorities for both wide midfielders and wingers.

Which card fits each position and playstyle?

Each option has a specific use case rather than being a strictly superior version of the others. Mukasa has the most convincing central-midfield defensive floor, Fer López offers the broadest positional coverage, Maamma is the standout specialist for wide dribbling, and Lankshear offers the only dedicated target-striker profile.

Divine Mukasa: the balanced CM and CAM option

Mukasa is the most natural choice if the vacancy is CM and you want a player who can help defensively as well as progress the ball. His face stats are 83 PAC, 82 SHO, 84 PAS, 84 DRI, 73 DEF and 75 PHY. He has 75 interceptions, 75 standing tackle and 72 defensive awareness—the only pick with a usable defensive floor for a central midfielder. His 4★ weak foot also gives him more flexibility receiving or releasing the ball on either side than a 3★ option.

His PlayStyles are Incisive Pass, Inventive and Technical. Incisive Pass is a strong match for both central creation and the CM priority list, while Technical supports close control. For CAM, he has two of the three highlighted priority PlayStyles—Incisive Pass and Technical—and Inventive is also listed as useful. His roles ++ cover CM Box-to-Box, Holding, Deep-Lying Playmaker, Playmaker and Half-Winger, plus CAM Playmaker, Shadow Striker, Half-Winger and Classic 10. CAM is his alternate position; he is not a wide specialist.

Special offer. See more information about Outbyte and uninstall instructions. Please review EULA and Privacy policy.

At 180 cm, 70 kg and Controlled AcceleRATE, Mukasa is not a Lengthy midfielder; FUTWIZ notes that his height falls below the 185 cm Lengthy minimum. That is not a general weakness, but it does distinguish him from a profile built around Lengthy acceleration. The database-listed chemistry style is Engine, not a claim of tested or guaranteed performance.

His club and league labels require care. The pick branding and FUTNext place him with West Ham in the EFL Championship, while FUTWIZ lists the same card as West Ham / ENG 1. The safest way to describe the card is West Ham, selected through the EFL Championship Future Stars pick; the discrepancy does not support inventing a loan or relegation explanation. FUTWIZ’s season snapshot lists 13 Championship appearances (12 starts), 911 minutes, four goals and one assist, but those totals include matches before Future Stars tracking began on 9 October. They are not his live-upgrade counter.

Choose Mukasa when: CM is the need, you want a two-way profile, or you value a 4★ weak foot and Incisive Pass. He is also a credible CAM alternative if you prefer his through-ball package over Fer López’s Pinged Pass and greater positional reach.

Fer López: the versatile passer

Fer López is the default CAM and the best fit if you want one card to cover multiple attacking and midfield spaces. He has 84 PAC, 82 SHO, 84 PAS, 86 DRI, 50 DEF and 73 PHY, with 86 acceleration, 83 sprint speed, 85 vision, 85 short passing, 85 long passing and 89 agility. The 186 cm, 76 kg left-footed card is Controlled and has 3★ skills and 3★ weak foot.

His PlayStyles are Gamechanger, Pinged Pass and Technical. Technical fits the CAM priority list, while Pinged Pass is useful for fast driven ground passes; Destructoid’s 10 October discussion described the driven-pass style as meta. Gamechanger can support a more adventurous attacking role, but for a CAM focused on incisive through-balls, Mukasa’s Incisive Pass is the more direct match. Fer’s six-position coverage—CAM, CDM, RM, CM, RW and ST—makes him unusually flexible. His ++ roles include CAM Playmaker, Shadow Striker, Half-Winger and Classic 10, along with roles at his listed alternatives. The CDM label should not be mistaken for defensive strength: 50 DEF and 35 interceptions make him a poor natural holding six compared with Mukasa.

ModdingWay lists Engine as his chemistry style. Fer’s main advantage is not that this style proves a performance outcome; it is the combination of a CAM-ready passing/dribbling profile and the ability to cover several lineup slots. NaNNiK’s recommendation, as summarized by ModdingWay, favored his positional versatility, useful PlayStyles and potential future Evolutions. That potential is a creator’s rationale, not a guarantee of eligibility for any particular Evolution.

Choose Fer López when: your squad needs a CAM who may also fill CM, RM or RW, or you value Pinged Pass and passing range over Mukasa’s more complete defensive contribution. His 3★ weak foot is a current constraint, although a future five-star upgrade could make a more meaningful difference to him than to cards already on 4★.

Othmane Maamma: the wide dribbler

Maamma is the specialist for a wide attacking position, particularly if you want to cut inside, carry the ball and use skill moves. The 84-rated Watford RM has 88 PAC, 77 SHO, 80 PAS, 87 DRI, 42 DEF and 81 PHY. His 90 sprint speed, 90 agility, 88 dribbling, 90 jumping and 89 strength sit alongside a rare 4★/4★ combination: both skill moves and weak foot are four stars. All three other options have only 3★ skills or weak foot in at least one of those categories.

His PlayStyles are Gamechanger, Press Proven and Quick Step. Quick Step directly fits a priority for RM and both wide forward positions. Gamechanger can suit an inverted attacker; Press Proven helps describe a possession-under-pressure profile, though it is not one of the main wide-position priorities. The card lacks Rapid and Whipped Pass, so he profiles more naturally as an inside-forward or skill-oriented winger than as a specialist crossing RM. His ++ roles cover Winger, Inside Forward, Wide Midfielder and Wide Playmaker at RM/LM, and Winger, Inside Forward and Wide Playmaker at RW/LW. LM, RW and LW are listed as alternate positions.

That versatility is within the wide band, not across the whole team: unlike Fer López, Maamma does not cover central midfield or striker. His passing and shooting totals are also lower than the central creators’ passing, and Destructoid’s 10 October assessment specifically cautioned that those departments were weaknesses. The database-listed chemistry style is Finisher.

Choose Maamma when: your current lineup is short of a winger, you value pace and 4★/4★ execution, or you want a wide player who can operate on either flank. Do not choose him just because he is the quickest-looking option if your real need is a central creator or a striker.

Will Lankshear: the aerial target striker

Lankshear is the only dedicated striker in the pick and the clearest choice if your attack needs a physical box occupant. His 84 card is 188 cm, 78 kg and Lengthy, with 83 PAC, 85 SHO, 70 PAS, 82 DRI, 43 DEF and 86 PHY. Finishing is 88, attacking positioning 87 and shot power 87; heading accuracy, jumping and strength are all 91. Precision Header therefore fits the job his physical profile suggests.

Special offer. See more information about Outbyte and uninstall instructions. Please review EULA and Privacy policy.

His PlayStyles are Finesse Shot, Precision Header and Press Proven. Finesse Shot is one of the listed striker priorities, Precision Header is a useful additional option, and Press Proven can support hold-up play. He does not have Low Driven Shot or First Touch from the three highlighted ST priorities. His passing is the weak department—70 overall, with 66 vision, 59 long passing and 63 crossing—so a False 9 role ++ does not erase the limitation. Roles ++ include Advanced Forward, Poacher, False 9 and Target Forward, but he is ST-only in the listed positions. He has 3★ skills and 3★ weak foot, which can make shot selection more limiting, especially when trying to finesse across goal with his weaker foot. The listed chemistry style is Finisher.

Lankshear is the card where the date of a recommendation matters most. Destructoid’s 10 October verdict was strongly negative, citing his limited PlayStyle package and 3★/3★ combination. By 31 October, however, ModdingWay reported that he had reached 4 of 8 starts and 7 of 10 combined goals and assists. That placed an OVR step and a PlayStyle+ upgrade in line for February, with the five-star weak-foot threshold only three G+A away at that snapshot. His projected 85 face stats in that report were 84 PAC, 86 SHO, 71 PAS, 83 DRI, 44 DEF and 87 PHY. This makes him more compelling as an upgrade prospect than the early criticism alone suggests, but it does not turn him into a creator or remove his present weak-foot limitation.

Choose Lankshear when: you need an aerial, physical striker and can use crosses, headers or hold-up play. His upgrade progress can strengthen the case, but the choice remains role-dependent; a squad with no need for a target forward may get more value from another position.

How do the Future Stars upgrades work?

The four cards are attacker/midfielder items, so the relevant upgrade thresholds are domestic-league starts and combined league goals plus assists. EA’s rules as published by FUTWIZ set the tracking start at 9 October 2026, with upgrades due to go live on 3 February 2027. Cup, European and international matches do not count, and a substitute appearance does not count toward an OVR start threshold.

Special offer. See more information about Outbyte and uninstall instructions. Please review EULA and Privacy policy.
Milestone Reward for these ATT/MID cards What counts
4 starts +1 OVR, with the first step capped at 86 Domestic league starts from 9 October 2026
8 starts Another +1 OVR, up to 87 Domestic league starts; substitute appearances do not count
7 combined goals and assists +1 PlayStyle+ Domestic league goal contributions
10 combined goals and assists 5★ weak foot Domestic league goal contributions

These players sit in EA’s ATT/MID group by default position: CM, CAM, RM and ST. They are not being tracked for clean sheets under the defensive-player rules. If a player already has a PlayStyle+, the stated fallback is +1 base PlayStyle; if a player already has a five-star weak foot, the fallback is five-star skill moves. Future Stars Academy Evolutions use a separate system and do not follow this upgrade table. The rules and date are summarized in FUTWIZ’s Future Stars upgrade guide.

The thresholds create different kinds of upside. A five-star weak foot would be a larger change to Fer López or Lankshear, both currently at 3★, than to Mukasa or Maamma, who already have 4★. Conversely, Maamma’s wide-role Quick Step or Mukasa’s current defensive value are available now; those should not be discounted just because another card has a more exciting tracker.

Independent reader supportYour contribution helps us test, update, and keep practical guides available for everyone.Support on Ko-Fi

What did the dated upgrade trackers show?

Available counts are snapshots, not live guarantees. On 31 October, ModdingWay reported Lankshear at 4/8 starts and 7/10 G+A, Fer López at 4/8 starts and 3/10 G+A, and Mukasa at 4/8 starts and 2/10 G+A. Each had reached the first OVR threshold in that snapshot, but only Lankshear had reached the 7 G+A PlayStyle+ threshold. Maamma did not appear in that report, so no count should be inferred for him.

There is a discrepancy for Mukasa: the later FUTWIZ player-page tracker showed 2/4 starts and 2/7 G+A, while ModdingWay’s 31 October post showed 4/8 and 2/10. These are not compatible snapshots of the same progress, and the available information does not resolve why. Check the current player tracker and the relevant match record before treating a threshold as secured. The broader point is to compare dated counters and current starting prospects rather than carry an old number forward.

Special offer. See more information about Outbyte and uninstall instructions. Please review EULA and Privacy policy.

Before choosing based on expected upgrades, review each player’s recent starting XIs, injuries or suspensions and competition for his position. Starts drive the OVR steps, so a run of substitute appearances can still leave a card short of an OVR threshold. The February 3 delivery date also means the card’s immediate squad value and the eventual upgrade value are separate questions.

Who is the best pick overall?

There is no universal winner because the SBC gives one player for a specific squad hole. A creator recommendation published on 10 October favored Fer López for his six-position coverage and Pinged Pass; that same article identified Mukasa as a worthwhile alternative and Maamma for squads lacking width. Community comments from that period often favored Mukasa as the West Ham midfielder. Lankshear’s later progress was not yet part of the earliest verdicts, which helps explain why the striker’s case looks different when the dated upgrade tracker is included.

  • Best CM fit: Mukasa. He combines Incisive Pass with the only meaningful CM defensive floor among the four and already has a 4★ weak foot.
  • Best versatility: Fer López. Six listed positions and useful passing make him a flexible attacking/midfield option, though his CDM alternate is not a sound reason to use him as a defensive specialist.
  • Best wide specialist: Maamma. He brings 88 pace, Quick Step and the only 4★/4★ combination, but the profile is more suited to dribbling inside than crossing as a touchline winger.
  • Best aerial striker: Lankshear. Lengthy movement, 91 heading and jumping, and Precision Header define his role. His 31 October G+A position gave him the strongest recorded attacking-upgrade progress in that snapshot.

If two choices still appeal, compare club and nation links with your existing squad, but do not let a link override position fit. Wolves/Spain, West Ham/England, Watford/Morocco and Middlesbrough/England are the listed combinations. Also consider whether a card’s alternative positions help with a formation you actually use, rather than treating a long list of positions as value on its own.

How was this comparison selected?

The comparison ranks fit by squad position, then checks each card’s listed PlayStyles against position-specific recommendations, role and alternate-position coverage, weak foot, skill moves, body and AcceleRATE. It also uses the supplied dated domestic-league upgrade snapshots and reported SBC solver figures. Creator opinions are included as opinions, not treated as card statistics; no independent playtest, win-rate study or benchmark supports a claim that one choice performs best for every squad.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these cards tradeable after you claim the pick?

No. The reward is described as an untradeable player pick, so the selected card cannot be sold on the transfer market. If none fits your active or planned squad, consider whether the SBC fodder is more valuable to you than taking a card for collection purposes.

Does a substitute appearance count toward the Future Stars OVR upgrade?

No: the OVR thresholds are based on starts, not simply appearances. A player can come off the bench in a domestic league match and still make no progress toward the start-based OVR steps.

Can these cards get upgrades through Future Stars Academy Evolutions?

The Academy Evolution path is a separate system, not the match-performance upgrade table for Future Stars Player Items. A creator cited possible Evolution potential as one reason to favor Fer López, but that does not guarantee eligibility for a specific Evolution.

Why do Mukasa’s upgrade counts differ between trackers?

The dated 31 October ModdingWay post reports 4/8 starts, while a later FUTWIZ player-page tracker reports 2/4; both show 2 goal contributions toward the relevant G+A threshold. Since the snapshots conflict, check the current tracker and match records rather than assuming either counter is definitive.
