Squad Suggestions


Building a team is the biggest challenge in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team. It doesn’t need to be the best team since the budget may not allow it, but it needs to be a team designed for your style and needs.

When choosing which players to play with, you must look carefully at their attributes. Choosing a team based on ratings is one of the most common mistakes. For each position, and focusing on the critical attributes, we’ll show you the best players to choose from.

It’s also important to check if the player you choose fits the formations you like to play in. For example, a good full-back will be useless if the player only uses a formation with three defenders.

Last, it would help if you tried to get the maximum chemistry possible. Most of the players base their squads on a single league or nation, but the most experienced ones can build hybrid teams without hurting chemistry.

To cover the needs of as many players as possible, we suggest three squads with different budgets and formations. But, please, keep in mind that we are not saying these are the best formations for this league. They are the generic formations used in all our squad guides.

Disclaimer Notes


This guide is based on our perception of the game, which may differ from yours. It should only be used as an orientation since it’s impossible to build a team that fits everyone. Besides that, there are several factors we don’t know that influence the choices, such as budget, formation, custom tactics, instructions, style of play, and player preferences.

Another vital point that must stay very clear to whoever is reading this guide, it’s about some criteria we used:

  • Only Gold Players
    Silver and bronze players are not taken into account in this guide. Most of them are not good enough to replace the gold ones.

  • Only Regular Players
    This guide does not consider IF and special items, including Icons and FUT Heroes. Most of them can’t be considered good value for money and should only be used by players with a reasonable budget.

  • Only Normal Players
    Upgraded or transferred items are not taken into account in this guide. Only players who have started their season in the Premier League and with their original attributes were considered.

Unlimited Budget Squad

FIFA 23 Premier League Squad

The choice for this team’s players was based on the analysis made in the position guides. Please look at those guides to understand why we picked player A instead of player B.

In the goal, Alisson is our favorite. He scored highest on the most important attributes: reflexes, diving, and handling. However, you would also be in safe hands if you picked Ederson.

In almost everyone’s opinion, Van Dijk and Koulibaly are the best center-backs in this league. They are both fast and have impressive defensive skills.

Cancelo and Kyle Walker are the best fullbacks. Thanks to Electronic Arts that have rebuilt chemistry, you can use both in the same team: Cancelo on the left, relegating Robertson to the bench; and Walker on the right side.

We used this formation not because it is the best for this league but because it is the standard formation we use for unlimited budget squads of our guides. This means that we have only two spots for four high-quality players. Kante and Kevin De Bruyne are excellent, especially playing as CDM and CAM. If you don’t want to relegate Bernardo Silva or Bruno Fernandes to the bench/reserves, you should pick another formation.

Salah and Son are easy choices on the right and left sides of the midfield, even knowing they are native wingers. If you can’t afford them, this league has several other quality options.

If you want to score goals and win games, Ronaldo is a must-buy. His card has been downgraded year after year, but even so, he is an incredible player. Probably the biggest addition to this league was Haaland. He is the perfect teammate for the Portuguese player. Both will give a lot of headaches to the opponents.

If you use these players, you won’t need a manager on your team since he will be useless while wasting contracts.

Medium Budget Squad

The choice for this team’s players was based on the analysis made in the position guides. Please look at those guides to understand why we picked player A instead of player B.

On the back, despite his height, Lloris will keep your goal safe. Akanji and Rúben Dias are solid defenders, but if you don’t feel confident with the lack of pace of the Portuguese defender, we suggest replacing him with Diego Carlos. Reece James and Robertson are easy choices to the right and left sides of the defense.

Thiago and Gundogan are good options for the midfield, but having two slow players in this position may be risky. That’s why we suggest Matheus Nunes as the third midfield. If you feel this is insufficient, you can replace Gündogan with Ødegaard. On the wings, Zaha and Mahrez support the striker, Darwin. We know Zaha is slightly out of our budget, but he will be worth every coin invested.

This squad was built with players whose price was under 15k coins on the release date. Unfortunately, even if you have a few spare coins to spend, we don’t have any suggestions since all players who could make you jump to the next level are still too expensive.

Low Budget Squad

The choice for this team’s players was based on the analysis made in the position guides. Please look at those guides to understand why we picked player A instead of player B.

Areola is our choice for the goal. Ricardo Pereira, Ben Godfrey (what a pleasant surprise!), Niakhaté, and Rico Henry complete the defense. If you can invest more coins, we recommend trying Emiliano Martínez.

In the midfield, Eriksen and Tielemens complement each other well. Naby Keita and Arthur may fit better on your midfield if you need more pace. Ziyech on the right and Perisic on the left (he can also play as LB) fill the wings to assist Michail Antonio and Ollie Watkins, who have been chosen for their combination of pace and finishing stats.

This squad was built with players whose price was under 1.5k coins on the release date. However, if you still have some room in your budget, Saka (both sides) and Cornet are players who would significantly improve this squad. If you want to add extra quality to this team, you can make an effort and buy Gonçalo Guedes or Richarlison. They will pay off your investment in just a few matches.
