1. Declan Rice

First up is Declan Rice. This card is seriously underrated. Among this year's gold cards, there are very few truly useful pure defensive midfielders; most players are of the box-to-box type. Rice, as a pure defensive midfielder, definitely deserves mention. His defensive abilities are outstanding, and his silver traits include Silver Block and Silver Intercept, which significantly increase his interception range. Additionally, with a height of 185 cm and the Silver Intercept trait, his interception capabilities are very broad. His defensive stats are also excellent, and he has aerial dominance due to his height and traits, along with 92 stamina, allowing him to play the full match. Although his speed is relatively slow, this year's game has made speed less critical. Many players no longer overly rely on speed chemistry. Therefore, I believe Rice's speed is more than sufficient in actual gameplay.

Some might ask if Rice is better than Tonali. The answer is no; Tonali's silver traits are relatively poor, lacking good progression and passing abilities. Thus, choosing a more pure and defensively capable player as a midfielder is a wiser choice. With a price of only 20,000, I believe this card is definitely underrated. If you're looking for a Premier League midfielder, Declan Rice is definitely worth considering.

2. LAUREN James and Reiten

Next up is LAUREN . She has become a top card in the FC community, and the reason everyone is discussing him is that he stands at only 1.75 meters, yet she is a lengthy acceleration type player. The definition of "lengthy" differs between men’s and women’s football. James meets the requirements for lengthy acceleration. As a pure lengthy acceleration player, her ability to accelerate in the later stages is superior to other types. Regardless of whether you rely on speed chemistry, once she starts, it's hard to catch up with her. James frequently penetrates opposing defenses with a through ball in top matches, showcasing impressive performance. She possesses the gold Rapid trait, is extremely fast, and has Quick Step and double sprint skills, with strong physical attributes that allow him to effectively challenge opponents.

Reiten is also a good option, especially as a partner for James. If you need to pair chemistry with James, Reiten's gold Rapid trait and excellent speed can enhance your lineup.

3. Tabitha Chawinga

Next is Tabitha Chawinga. Although she is a chemistry partner for Diani, I believe she deserves to be mentioned separately. Chawinga is incredibly fast, and as a women's football winger, her strength is also impressive. She is also a lengthy acceleration type player, with outstanding late-stage acceleration. If you choose Diani as your central core, Chawinga will be an excellent partner.

4. N'Golo Kanté

Now, let's talk about N'Golo Kanté. This year, there is a noticeable trend of stronger attacking and weaker defending. With the gold Intercept trait, Kanté can apply interception capabilities in the midfield, alleviating pressure on the center-backs. Even top players can struggle with manual control of center-backs, leading to easy positioning errors. Kanté provides a strong defensive barrier, helping to stabilize your midfield.

5. Jeremie Frimpong

Lastly, I want to recommend Jeremie Frimpong. While some may question this recommendation, I have chosen Frimpong as a full-back in lineups worth several million or even tens of millions. When facing formations like 4-1-2-1-2, utilizing the flanks for ball distribution is crucial. Frimpong can create a powerful attacking combination with James on the right flank. While he may lack in physical confrontation and aerial ability, his speed allows him to maintain competitiveness when tracking back.

In summary, these cards are great options for free-to-play players within the 50,000 price range. I hope my recommendations are helpful to you!
