By now, you should be aware of Cristiano, the ridiculously good 74-rated silver card who goes for mega bucks on the transfer market. Having just checked on the web app, the cheapest I've seen him for is 74,000.

Looking at his card and statistics, it's easy to see why. The 6ft Kashiwa Reysol player has 90 pace, three-star skills, four-star weak foot, 91 strength and 80 shot power to name just a few.

With no-one really arsed silver packs, there's a tendency to quick sell all the items in a 5k silver pack, but with Cristiano floating around, you should be a little careful because you just never know.

Incredibly though, he's been given an enormous upgrade as part of an J1 League SBC Challenge. The 31-year old's rating has climbed up to 83, while he's also got 93 pace and shot power, 85 shooting, 80 passing, 87 and 82 dribbling.

Furthermore, his physical rating has gone up to 86 from 78 - meaning he pips the game's strongest player, Adebayo Akinfenwa, in that department.

It's an absolutely sensational card, but as noted by the Daily Mail, landing him isn't exactly easy, or cheap. While he's rare silver card is on the transfer market for some serious dollar, the only way to land his upgrade is by creating a squad for every team in the Japanese top flight.

According to Fut Bin, at the time of writing, putting together a starting eleven and subs for all the teams will cost you 201,000 coins on PS4 and 253,000 on Xbox One.

Then there's the issue of how you fit Cristiano into your plans because a J1 League team isn't going to set the world alight. To be fair though, the Brazilian would be a lovely fit into a samba side, but you'll have to put some serious effort before you have him in your ranks.
