MELANIE LEUPOLZ FACTFILE Age: 25 Position: Midfielder Club: Chelsea Country: Germany HER STORY… ➔ Leupolz was only 17 years old when she won promotion to the Bundesliga with Freiburg.

She won two league titles in her first two seasons, but the giants are on their way to finishing runners-up for the fourth campaign in…

DECLAN RICE WEST HAM To become a proper Hammers hero, Rice will have to resist the transfer offers from the Premier League’s big boys for a few more seasons! DOMINIC CALVERT-LEWIN EVERTON Calvert-Lewin is a nightmare for opposition defenders and is banging in the goals – just like Toffees hero and assistant manager Duncan Ferguson! HARVEY BARNES LEICESTER Barnes joined the Leicester academy when he was just nine years old so, if he fulfils his top potential, he’ll be a proper legend to the Foxes fans! BUKAYO SAKA ARSENAL Winger Saka’s been playing at left-back this season, and the last homegrown Gunners left-back to make it big-time was England legend Ashley Cole!…

JOHN TERRY ENGLAND CB JT’s former England teammates Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard and Rio Ferdinand are on FIFA 20, and it’s about time that he joined them. At his peak, Terry was the best centre-back in Europe, so his defensive stats would have to be through the roof! ARJEN ROBBEN NETHERLANDS RW Robben’s been one of the best wingers on FIFA for the last ten years and, after retiring in 2019, he’s sure to return to the game soon. From ripping it up at Chelsea to becoming a total Bayern Munich legend, he had rapid pace and a lethal left foot!

DECLAN RICE West Ham to Chelsea £75 million Rice was released from Chelsea’s academy when he was 14, and he’s still best mates with Blues midfielder Mason Mount. That gives them a head start over Man. United, who also want the midfielder, but West Ham will only sell him for a mammoth fee! ERLING HAALAND Borussia Dortmund to Real Madrid £50 million Haaland has already played for three clubs since 2018, but he could be on the move again! Gossips reckon he’s got a release clause of around £50 million in his contract, and Real Madrid are ready to pay up – but they might have to wait until next year until they’re able to activate it!

LETHAL LINK-UP Auba always has good partnerships. At Dortmund, Henrikh Mkhitaryan set him up loads, and he’s formed a top partnership with Alexandre Lacazette too!

That’s because he’s clinical – he aims his shots in the corners to give the keeper no chance, or dinks it over them when they rush out! Practise your finishing by taking it in turns with your mate at one-on-ones and see who scores the most! FOOTY BRAIN Auba can play out wide or up front because he understands…
