If it wasn't for misfortune to befall other players we may not be here today. Curtis Jones started the season as a total unknown and was thrust into a starting XI after a series of injuries saw the likes of Henderson and Fabinho moved back to plug holes at centre-back.
Like all players destined for greatness, Jones didn't wait around for any invitations. He saw his opportunity at Liverpool and he took it. He has been hugely impressive, both in the Premier League and the Champions League with boundless energy, an eye for goal, a cute pass and able to make contributions at both ends of the pitch.
It's these performances that have seen him awarded a special Future Stars card with FIFA 21 players able to get their hands on the rising star by completing a series of SBCs.
This special Player Pick Squad Building Challenge gives players the chance to earn different versions of Curtis Jones, with unique stats that reflect upon his versatility filling multiple roles, including Central and Left Midfielder, for Klopp's side.
His new cards are much-improved on his base and he will be much sought after considering his potential chemistry with Premier League, England and Liverpool players.
We have broken down each SBC to show you how you can get him as cheap as possible as well as taking a look at his new stats.
