This is not a terrible price for any of the three players on offer, as they all offer Icon chemistry and have impressive stats and PlayStyles for their respective positions. The available players (Image via EA Sports)While Scholes has always suffered on the virtual pitch due to his low pace, dribbling and defending stats, his Incisive Pass+ PlayStyle could make him effective. However, both Robert Pires and Luis Hernandez will certainly be the more popular options due to their excellent stats, with Pires even having the coveted Finesse Shot+ PlayStyle.
