FIFA 20 is almost here which means it's time to start thinking about the Ultimate Team you are going to build to beat your mates and other players around the world with.
Whether you choose to build an all Premier League team or an all La Liga team, there will be plenty of tasty looking cards on this year's edition.
However, we all know when you start, FIFA coins are few and far between, meaning you can't afford the big boys from the get go!
As we all know that's an issue, we have decided to put together a hidden gem XI from the La Liga, with some players who have the potential to do well for you, but won't cost an arm and a leg.
Here is the hidden gem La Liga XI.

GK – Yoel (74 OVR) (Att: Medium/Def: Medium)
Club: Eibar
Yoel Rodriguez (or Yoel) currently plays for Eibar, but has yet to feature this season for the club. One of the strongest silver card options, he is one of only 12 players in La Liga this season with a 5* weak foot, alongside Toni Kroos and Santi Cazorla.
Estimated cost = 300-500 coins (prediction based on FIFA19 market)
LB – Junior Firpo (79 OVR) (Att: Medium/Def: Medium)
Club: Barcelona
Barcelona looked to have secured their LB of the future in Firpo, who has already featured once this season for the reigning champions. Firpo is one of the paciest defenders in the division with solid all-round stats and 3* skills too.
Estimated cost = 2,000-3,000 coins
CB – Mario Hermoso (80 OVR) (Att: High/Def: Medium)
Club: Atletico Madrid
Hermoso moved to Atletico Madrid for £22.5 million in the summer from Espanyol, where in FIFA19 he was given a TOTS card. He and fellow FIFA20 La Liga teammate Eder Militao are the joint-second fastest CBs in the division, behind Real Madrid’s Rafael Varane.
Estimated cost = 2,000-3,000 coins
CB – Eder Militao (81 OVR) (Att: Medium/Def: High)
Club: Real Madrid
Like Hermoso, Militao also arrived in La Liga this summer, completing a £45 million move from Porto. He too had a TOTS card last year (92 OVR) and is slower only to his Real Madrid teammate Varane.
Estimated cost = 3,000-4,000 coins
RB – Kieran Trippier (80 OVR) (Att: High/Def: Medium)
Club: Atletico Madrid
Trippier made his surprise move from Spurs this summer and is rated as the joint-third highest rated La Liga RB. His passing stats are joint-highest for a La Liga RB (alongside Barca’s Sergi Roberto) and his 86 crossing and 82 free-kick are some of the best in the division. With 3* skills and a 4* weak foot, he’s a menace going forward too.
Estimated cost = 2,000-3,000 coins
CM – Joan Jordan (78 OVR) (Att: Medium/Def: Medium)
Club: Sevilla
Another new signing this season, Joan Jordan joined Sevilla from Eibar for a mere £12.6 million and has already made an impact, scoring twice in the opening four game weeks. He’s statistically the second-best player in Europe so far this season (MARCA) and is one of the better La Liga CMs on FIFA 20, with solid shooting, passing and dribbling stats. Jordan also has 4* skills and a 4* weak foot – a fine creative option on the cheap.
Estimated cost = 1,000-2,000 coins
CAM – Kangin Lee (76 OVR) (Att: High/Def: Low)
Club: Valencia
At only 18 years old, Valencia CAM Kangin Lee is poised for a breakout season in La Liga. This is reflected in his FIFA card too, as his overall rating has increased from 70 to 76 since last season. Lee is a solid dribbler with 4* skills and 75 vision.
Estimated cost = 1,000-2,000 coins
CM – Ruben Alcaraz (79 OVR) (Att: Medium/Def: High)
Club: Real Valladolid
Alcaraz’s solid defensive stats earn him a spot in our alternative La Liga XI as a potential hidden gem. He has a high defensive work rate, as well as impressive interceptions, tackling and aggression stats.
Estimated cost = 5,000-6,000 coins
LW – Vinicius Jr. (79 OVR) (Att: High/Def: Medium)
Club: Real Madrid
A regular member of Real Madrid’s first team, Vinicius Jr. has been handed an impressive FIFA 20 card, with the tied second fastest pace rating in the entire division and one of the fastest in the entire game. A tricky winger with 84 dribbling and a 4* weak foot, he also has 5* skills.
Estimated cost = 6,000-7,000 coins
ST – Inaki Williams (82 OVR) (Att: High/Def: High)
Club: Athletic Club Bilbao
The fastest FIFA 20 La Liga player with a huge 94 pace, Inaki Williams seems a must-own in all La Liga/Spanish-based Ultimate Teams. The Bilbao striker also has both high defensive and attacking work rates, plus 4* skills and 80 dribbling and shooting stats.
Estimated cost = 8,000-9,000 coins
RW – Martin Odegaard (78 OVR) (Att: Medium/Def: Medium)
Club: Real Sociedad
Currently on loan from Real Madrid, Martin Odegaard has impressed so far for Real Sociedad and is tipped for huge things this season. With 2 goals already this season, Odegaard makes the team through his 5* skill rating and his 82 passing/84 dribbling stats.
Estimated cost = 3,000-4,000 coins
