JEFF’S PITCH PICKS: TOTAL FOOTBALL
The trophy's been lifted.
The confetti's swept.
The world is catching its breath.
Football isn't.
On July 23rd, FIFA Rivals kicks off the Total Football Season.
It's built on the one idea that changed the game forever: a great player isn't defined by a position.
New Players. New Positions. Total Football.
Jeff Winton is back on the touchline, and this time he's watching defenders attack, forwards defend, and midfielders do a bit of everything.
Here's who's got Jeff tearing up the team sheet 👇
Total Football Season Top Picks!
⚫️ Chase Mythical
🇭🇺 Dominik Szoboszlai - Defender
🗣️ "A midfielder wearing a defender's card. That's not a typo. That's the season." - Jeff
You know him as Liverpool's engine room.
Then their back line broke down.
He filled in at right-back.
And made it look like the plan.
New seat. Same standard.
The whole idea, on one card.
🟣 Chase Legendary
🇩🇿 Rayan Aït-Nouri - Midfielder
🗣️ "Some players change position. He just stopped pretending" - Jeff
The inverted full-back.
His club moved him into midfield before we did.
He attacks like a winger.
Carries like a midfielder.
Recovers like a defender.
Week 1 chase. Set the tone early.
🟣 Chase Legendary
🇨🇲 Bryan Mbeumo - Forward
🗣️ "Winger? Striker? Just say goalscorer." - Jeff
Drifts wide.
Arrives central.
Finishes everything.
Mbeumo is what happens when a winger stops waiting for the striker and becomes one.
He closes Week 4.
Worth the wait.
🔴 Premium Pass Epic
🇸🇳 Pape Matar Sarr - Midfielder
🗣️ "Covers so much grass they should charge him rent." - Jeff
Box to box is underselling it.
He wins it deep.
Carries it forward.
Shows up in the opposition area like he was always there.
The best motor you'll run this season.
What is Total Football?
In the 1970s, a Dutch idea rewired football: any player, any position, total fluidity.
This season brings it to your squad, the game's most versatile players, arriving in the other positions they know:
Midfielders who covered right-back when their club needed it
Full-backs who stepped into midfield
Wingers who became the striker
And much more.
Same game. New ways to build your XI.
