Ismaël Gharbi

Key strength: Pace and dribbling

Wide creator

At 13th in the Bundesliga, FC Augsburg find themselves in a precarious position - their recent form reading ?L??? suggests a team struggling for consistency. Enter Ismaël Gharbi, the 21-year-old Tunisian left winger, a €7.5m asset whose pace and dribbling ability offer Augsburg the spark they've been desperately seeking. Despite just 2 appearances totaling 180 minutes this season, Gharbi represents both the club's scouting acumen and their tactical direction: wide creators capable of unlocking stubborn defenses. His FIFA rating of 43 masks raw potential - with 55 pace and 55 dribbling, he's been deployed to stretch opposition backlines and provide the creative width that teammates like Alexis Claude-Maurice (73) and Fabian Rieder (68) can capitalize on. In a squad blending experience with youth, Gharbi's development becomes critical. Augsburg's survival may depend on whether this Tunisian talent can transition from promising substitute to difference-maker. With zero goals or assists so far, the pressure mounts - but his €7.5m valuation suggests the market sees something special waiting to emerge.
