FC 26: How Willi Orbán has developed since FIFA 13
The club legend from RB Leipzig is also indispensable on the virtual pitch. This is the evolution of the Red Bulls' long-serving captain.
To be considered a club legend, a player must have already achieved a lot at the club. Willi Orbán belongs to the special circle of players at RB Leipzig who have earned this status. The Red Bulls' defender captained the team for many years and consistently provided stability in defence. He won the DFB Cup twice with Leipzig and Orbán caused a sensation with his club in the Champions League on several occasions.
His goal-scoring ability is also worth mentioning: With 35 goals, the Hungarian international is the most successful defender in the club's history. These top performances form the basis for his impressive development in FIFA/FC. His path with RB Leipzig ultimately took him from the Bundesliga 2 to the European elite. This is the evolution of Willi Orbán - from FIFA 13 to FC 26!

Willi Orbán from FIFA 15 to FC 24: promotion and gold status
The move to RB Leipzig in 2015 fundamentally changed Willi Orbán's relevance for Ultimate Team. With the promotion to the 1st for the 2016/17 season, the defensive specialist reached gold status. In FIFA 17, Orbán had a rating of 77 points for the first time. Since then, his card history has documented an almost uninterrupted series of annual upgrades.

Only the FIFA 21 statistics were an exception to this rule. Orbán established himself as the leader of the Red Bulls' defence and the Hungarian national team. This consistency on the pitch almost inevitably led to a steady upward correction of his stats.

Willi Orbán in FC 25 and FC 26: Peak of his rating development
The absolute highlight of his career in FIFA/FC to date was FC 25, when a Team of the Season card with a rating of 93 points was released. This version was one of the strongest options for the defence in the entire season. In the current version, FC 26, he achieves a new high of 84 points with his gold card. This is the best base card of his entire career. The attributes emphasise his strength in tackles and his header power.
With 86 points in defence and 83 points in physicality, he is a massive obstacle for any striker. He compensates for his rather moderate pace of 57 points with excellent positioning.
