You get two elite cards and a long drop to the rest. Gvardiol and Modrić share the 85 ceiling, but Modrić's move to Milano FC is the headline that changes how you link this Croatia squad in Ultimate Team.
Gvardiol and Modrić Top FC 27 Croatia Players
- Joško Gvardiol (85, CB) leads the defensive line at Manchester City with 85 DEF, 82 PHY and enough pace to play a high line.
- Luka Modrić (85, CM) still carries the midfield with 87 PAS and 83 DRI, but EA has him at Milano FC in FC 27.
- Ante Budimir (82, ST) is your best finisher with 83 SHO and 81 PHY for a target-man role.
Modrić's Milano FC Move Shapes FC 27 Croatia Players Chemistry
- Modrić at Milano FC opens a Serie A Enilive link you would not expect from real football, pairing him with Serie A defenders and attackers.
- Luka Vušković (81, CB) lands at Brighton, giving you a Premier League defensive partner for Gvardiol if you run both.
- Dominik Livaković (78, GK) moves to Fenerbahçe, so your keeper link runs through the Süper Lig unless you use an icon or hybrid.
Pace and Youth Are Thin for FC 27 Croatia Players
- No Croatian forward breaks 85 pace. Perišić (74 PAC) and Kramarić (67 PAC) are technical, not fast.
- Martin Baturina (79, CAM) is the most agile creator with 84 DRI and 76 PAC, but he is slight at 58 PHY.
- Stanišić (80, RB) and Vušković (81, CB) give you a Bundesliga and Premier League defensive spread, but neither is a burner.
How to Build Around FC 27 Croatia Players
- Premier League spine: Gvardiol, Vušković and Kovačić all sit in England, so you can slot them next to any EPL backline.
- Serie A bridge: Modrić, Vlašić, Pašalić and Baturina are spread across Serie A clubs for a cheap league link.
- Use icons or heroes to patch the gaps at striker and goalkeeper, because Croatia does not give you a top-tier option in either spot.
