Introduction to the FUT 14 Barclays Premier League Guide
Building a team is the biggest challenge in FIFA 14 Ultimate Team. It doesn’t need to be the best team, even because the budget may not allow it, but it needs to be the player’s stature for him to obtain success.
When choosing which players to play with, you will have to look carefully at their attributes. Choosing a team based on ratings is one of the most common mistakes on FUT 14. It’s precisely this aspect that this guide focuses on. For each position, and focusing on the truly important attributes, we’ll show who are the best athletes to choose.
It’s also important that the player checks to see if the player he chooses fits the formations he likes to play in. For example, a good full back will be useless if the player only uses formations with three defenders. According to those formations, the player must be cautious to look at the work rates, trying to relate them with the ones we advise in our Formations Guide.
Last but not least, it’s mandatory that you tune all of your team so that the individual and team chemistry be as high possible. For this last step to be easier, the majority of the players start to define the type of team they’re building. Some choose gathering players of the same nationality, while others decide to form a team of players from the same league. The most popular leagues are the Brazilians and the Barclays Premier League. There are also more experienced players that can form hybrid teams without damaging the chemistry a lot.
All of these steps are necessary to have; it could be that the team is not always well built as it could’ve been. This article aims to help those that think or want to form a FIFA 14 Ultimate Team based on players from the Barclays Premier League. Even the ones have one, could take out some valuable conclusion from this guide that could help turn your team even better.
On a similar guide that we wrote for FUT 13, we received 1300 comments. Most of them asked us to help improve their teams and the players they had. It’s important that the readers understand that this guide is simply guidance. It’s a theme too vast and the player’s combinations are almost infinite. Besides, there are various factors that influence the choices, like it’s one’s style of play, the formations used, the available budget, the preferences or even the time spent playing. There’s still one uncertain component: a good player for someone might not be for another. If there was a better team everyone would fight to get it. Part of the fun of FIFA 14 Ultimate Team is this: everyone has their personal club and players.
Another important point and that must stay very clear is that whoever is reading this guide, it’s about some criteria we chose and should be of everyone’s knowledge:
- In this guide we didn’t consider silver or bronze player. Most players don’t assume them to be a better option than gold players, so to simplify the guide’s analysis we didn’t include them. In the future we may come to publish guides exclusively talking about these categories.
- In this guide we didn’t consider In Forms (IF). They’re extremely expensive and in most cases are not considered good value for money. They should only be used by players with generous budgets, that already have the best team possible and that want small upgrades.
- In this guide we didn’t consider players that have been transferred to other clubs or that have been reviewed (UP). Only players that started their season in the Barclays Premier League and with their original attributes were considered.
- In this guide we didn’t consider changes made on a players performance such happens when applying training or chemistry styles cards.
- To make the comprehension of this guide easier we divided the players in nine distinct groups in order of their original position: Goalkeeper (GK), central backs (CB), right backs (RB and RWB), left backs (LB and LWB), central defensive midfielders (CDM) central midfielders (CM and CAM), right midfielders (RM, RW and RF), left midfielders (LM, LW and LF) and forwards (CF and ST).
- In the chapter where FIFA 14 Ultimate Team BPL teams are suggested, the prices considered are the ones of the date of the guide’s publication: November 2013. It’s natural that the prices have suffered some oscillations throughout the season, so they should only be considered as guiding prices.
Barclays Premier League
No league is as spectacular as the main football competition of the United Kingdom. The qualification of the champion of the second biggest league of the world is made through the made points system. Whichever team gathers the most points wins the league. The first four classified gain access to the champions league of the next year, while the last three trade places with the first three qualified of the Football League Championship. Every season starts in August and finishes in May, having 38 game weeks with 10 matches each, being a total of 380 matches per season.
The Barclays Premier League is the most watched football league in the world, broadcasted in 212 countries and in more than 600 million homes. It’s also the second football league with more assists and the second best league classified in the UEFA league coefficients.
Started in 1992 the Premier League has only been conquered by 5 clubs. The dominant club is Manchester United, with a total of 13 titles. London’s teams only won the league three times while Manchester City and Blackburn Rovers only won the title once.
As to last season, the BPL lost some good players such as Andrey Arshavin (Zenit), Florent Malouda (Trabzonspor), Mahamadou Diarra, Pepe Reina (Napoli by loan), Carlos Tevez (Juventus) and Maicon (AS Roma), they’re good examples of this. But, the biggest out transfer was with a chance Spur’s Gareth bale move to Real Madrid for 85 million pounds.
These transfers didn’t necessarily make the league weaker. The English teams spent 620 million pounds on strong reinforcements: Gary Medel and Andreas Cornelius (Cardiff), Marco Van Ginkel, Samiel Eto’o and Willian (Chelsea), Mamadou Sakho (Liverpool), Stevan Jovetic, Jesus Navas, Fernandinho and Alvaro Negredo (Manchester City), Ricky Van Wolfswinkel (Norwich City), Victor Wanyama, Pablo Osvadldo and Dejan Lovren (Southampton), Wilfried Bony (Swansea), Etienne Capoue, Roberto Soldado, Paulinho, Erik Lamela, Vlad Chiriches and Christian Eriksen (Tottenham) and Nicolas Anelka (West Bromwich). But the biggest signing of the season was made between London and Madrid, with the purchase of Mesut Ozil by the Gunners for 42 million pounds.
The choices are a lot for which our guide will certainly be useful as to building a team with players from this league. But, since it’s in the United Kingdom where FUT 14 is played the most the Barclays Premier League is the most seen on this game’s teams. This means it’s also the most expensive league, for which it’s not recommended for players with a limited budget.
FUT 14 Barclays Premier League Goalkeepers (GK)
Goalkeepers are the players that are less used on field. Because of this they are also the disdained when building a team. Most players start their purchases with a forward, later they strengthen the midfield the defence and only later the goal. The truth is a good goalkeeper may be worth a lot of goals. It’s good investment because they’re normally the most economically accessible players.
The goalkeepers with more prestige of the Barclays Premier League are the charismatic Petr Cech, the downgraded Hugo Lloris and the English national team goalkeeper Joe Hart. For having the best rating they are also the most searched by this league’s teams so they’re more expensive.
| MOST HIGH-RATED GOALKEEPERS | |||
| Petr Cech | 85 | Czech Republic | Chelsea |
| Hugo Lloris | 84 | France | Tottenham Hotspur |
| Joe Hart | 83 | England | Manchester City |
| De Gea | 82 | Spain | Manchester United |
| Asmir Begovic | 81 | Bosnia Herzegovina | Stoke City |
| Michel Vorm | 81 | Netherlands | Swansea City |
| Tim Howard | 81 | United States | Everton |
| Simon Mignolet | 80 | Belgium | Liverpool |
| Tim Krul | 79 | Netherlands | Newcastle United |
| Wojciech Szczesny | 79 | Poland | Arsenal |
When choosing a good goalkeeper it’s not only down to his rating. There are two fundamental attributes for choosing a good goalkeeper: reflexes and diving.
The first measures a goalkeeper’s agility when making a save. The best on this aspect is Hugo Lloris, even though the advantage over De Gea and Joe Hart doesn’t mean much.
| GOALKEEPERS WITH BEST REFLEXES | |||
| Hugo Lloris | 89 | France | Tottenham Hotspur |
| De Gea | 88 | Spain | Manchester United |
| Joe Hart | 87 | England | Manchester City |
| Asmir Begovic | 86 | Bosnia Herzegovina | Stoke City |
| Gomes | 86 | Brazil | Tottenham Hotspur |
| Petr Cech | 85 | Czech Republic | Chelsea |
| Michel Vorm | 84 | Netherlands | Swansea City |
| Tim Krul | 84 | Netherlands | Newcastle United |
| Lukasz Fabianski | 84 | Poland | Arsenal |
| Tim Howard | 83 | United States | Everton |
Diving is a fundamental attribute when choosing a goalkeeper. It measures the capacity for a goalkeeper to make a save when jumping.
The four BPL goalkeepers who have this attribute better developed are also those that have the best reputations. For those who are looking for the cheaper solution, Wojciech Szczesny is a valid alternative.
| GOALKEEPER WITH BEST DIVING | |||
| Hugo Lloris | 86 | France | Tottenham Hotspur |
| De Gea | 86 | Spain | Manchester United |
| Petr Cech | 85 | Czech Republic | Chelsea |
| Joe Hart | 85 | England | Manchester City |
| Wojciech Szczesny | 84 | Poland | Arsenal |
| Maarten Stekelenburg | 84 | Netherlands | Fulham |
| Asmir Begovic | 83 | Bosnia Herzegovina | Stoke City |
| Michel Vorm | 83 | Netherlands | Swansea City |
| Tim Howard | 83 | United States | Everton |
| Anders Lindegaard | 83 | Denmark | Manchester United |
The most experienced Ultimate Team players know that another leaning factor on a goalkeeper’s performance without considering the remaining four attributes: height. The more tall a goalkeeper is, better his chances of having a clean sheet.
This is Hugo Lloris’s weak point. Even though he can’t be considered a short goalkeeper, the truth is he’s 12 cm short of the mighty Asmir Begovic, this gold goalkeeper holds the title of tallest Barclays Premier League Goalkeeper. Cech, Hart and De Gea are all above 1,90 m.
| TALLEST GOALKEEPERS | |||
| Asmir Begovic | 200 | Bosnia Herzegovina | Stoke City |
| Maarten Stekelenburg | 197 | Netherlands | Fulham |
| Petr Cech | 196 | Czech Republic | Chelsea |
| Joe Hart | 196 | England | Manchester City |
| Wojciech Szczesny | 195 | Poland | Arsenal |
| Emiliano Viviano | 195 | Italy | Arsenal |
| Mark Schwarzer | 195 | Australia | Chelsea |
| De Gea | 193 | Spain | Manchester United |
| Anders Lindegaard | 193 | Denmark | Manchester United |
| Simon Mignolet | 193 | Belgium | Liverpool |
The choice for the best Barclays Premier League goalkeeper on FIFA 14 Ultimate team, is not easy.
In our opinion, even though he was downgraded, Hugo Lloris is still the best choice. Besides being the best with the two most important attributes he’s also the fastest. For the players that search for taller goalkeepers, Cech and Hart are goalkeeper to consider even though the first is slow and the second has weak handling.
For those who frequently pass the ball to the goalkeeper, De Gea is a choice to be considered. When talking about cheapest goalkeepers our suggestion is Asmir Begovic. Besides the four most rated goalkeepers in the league no one else has better reflexes than the Bosnian. Besides, he’s also the tallest of them all, which takes out any doubt for those who still had any. For those who don’t want to choose him because of the difficulty of having good chemistry links with the centre back, Simon Mignolet is a good alternative.
Best FUT 14 Barclays Premier League Goalkeeper
FUT 14 Barclays Premier League Central Backs (CB)
A goalkeepers task is made easier if in front of him are quality central backs. Their function is to stop the opponent from getting dangerously close to your team’s goal.
Vidic and Kompany are the central backs with the best reputation in the Barclays Premier League. The remaining good players to consider because of experience are John Terry and Rio Ferdinand, and by irreverence, David Luiz and Jan Vertonghen come to mind.
| HIGHEST RATED CENTRAL BACKS | |||
| Nemanja Vidic | 87 | Serbia | Manchester United |
| Vincent Kompany | 86 | Belgium | Manchester City |
| John Terry | 83 | England | Chelsea |
| Rio Ferdinand | 83 | England | Manchester United |
| Daniel Agger | 82 | Denmark | Liverpool |
| David Luiz | 82 | Brazil | Chelsea |
| Jan Vertonghen | 82 | Belgium | Tottenham Hotspur |
| Martín Demichelis | 82 | Argentina | Manchester City |
| Fabricio Coloccini | 81 | Argentina | Newcastle United |
| Joleon Lescott | 81 | England | Manchester City |
On a central back, two attributes assume particular importance on their performance: defending and heading.
A player with better defending will have an easier chance of dispossessing the opponent and avoid him reaching your box.
It’s the case of the two best rated players: Vidic and Kompany. It’s really hard to get past them. The most experienced players are normally those who have a higher rating on this attribute. Terry, Rio Ferdinand and Demichelis prove this.
| CENTRAL BACKS WITH BETTER DEFENDING | |||
| Nemanja Vidic | 86 | Serbia | Manchester United |
| Vincent Kompany | 86 | Belgium | Manchester City |
| Martín Demichelis | 85 | Argentina | Manchester City |
| John Terry | 84 | England | Chelsea |
| Rio Ferdinand | 84 | England | Manchester United |
| Per Mertesacker | 84 | Germany | Arsenal |
| Brede Hangeland | 83 | Norway | Fulham |
| Joleon Lescott | 82 | England | Manchester City |
| Jan Vertonghen | 81 | Belgium | Tottenham Hotspur |
| Daniel Agger | 81 | Denmark | Liverpool |
On a game partially made difficult on stopping an opponent’s header in our box, possessing good heading is even more important on a central back than it was before. Allow him to be superior in your box when defending air balls but it’s also worth it on set pieces, like corners where a central backs jump may just be worth some goals.
In this chapter there’s a player that annihilates all competition: Vidic. He’s the best header in the game. If you choose to not buy one, Lescott and Vermaelen handle it pretty well. Though Kompany is one of the tallest central backs he’s far behind on the Barclays Premier League list of players with good heading. He isn’t an isolated case: the tallest central back in the league, Brade Hagenland has dreadful heading. A player to avoid at all cost, even for his low speed.
| CENTRAL BACKS WITH BETTER HEADING | |||
| Nemanja Vidic | 90 | Serbia | Manchester United |
| Joleon Lescott | 85 | England | Manchester City |
| Thomas Vermaelen | 85 | Belgium | Arsenal |
| John Terry | 83 | England | Chelsea |
| Martin Škrtel | 83 | Slovakia | Liverpool |
| Younès Kaboul | 83 | France | Tottenham Hotspur |
| Gary Cahill | 83 | England | Chelsea |
| Michael Dawson | 83 | England | Tottenham Hotspur |
| Mobido Diakité | 83 | France | Sunderland |
| Jan Vertonghen | 82 | Belgium | Tottenham Hotspur |
Defending and heading may be useless against fast opponents. It’s necessary to fight fire with fire. No likes feeling impotent when seeing you get overrun by extremely fast players. Even though, in a way, centre backs aren’t that fast, every team needs one of these players with a high pace attribute.
The weak relish for heading by Kompany is in a way compensating due to his good speed. But there are faster players in the Barclays Premier League. The first on the list is Vlad Chiriches, defender that has his debut on the league. We don’t consider him a viable option since he lacks the remaining attributes necessary for a good central back. David Luiz, Kaboul and Koscielny are also fast players and possess these attributes, in a way that either one of these three present themselves as a viable for a defence based on the BPL.
| CENTRAL BACKS WITH BETTER PACE | |||
| Vlad Chiriches | 82 | Romania | Tottenham Hotspur |
| Younès Kaboul | 78 | France | Tottenham Hotspur |
| David Luiz | 77 | Brazil | Chelsea |
| Laurent Koscielny | 77 | France | Arsenal |
| Chris Smalling | 76 | England | Manchester United |
| Maynor Figueroa | 76 | Honduras | Hull City |
| Sébastien Bassong | 74 | Cameroon | Norwich City |
| Vincent Kompany | 73 | Belgium | Manchester City |
| Gary Cahill | 73 | England | Chelsea |
| Sylvain Distin | 73 | France | Everton |
In our opinion Vidic is a real wall. He intercepts everything that is at his reach. But, if the style of play of the team is to concede extremely fast counter-attacks we don’t advise him. He’s an extremely slow defender that compromises the team in fast attacks. For that Kompany is our number one choice for this position. Fast and with good defending and attacking attributes, the Belgian is for that the without a chance most expensive of all central backs of the Barclays Premier League.
Benefiting from his popularity and his characteristic for a good chemistry, David Luiz comes up as being one of the first choices for teams based on the Barclays Premier League. He’s without a doubt a good player for this position but there are other cheaper solutions. Like, Younès Kaboul that besides having work rates more appropriate to the position is the players that classifies as better in the three main attributes we said. Jan Vertonghen, Laurent Koscielny and Thomas Vermaelen are also good options, even though only the Frenchman has work rates more appropriate to his position.
Best FUT 14 Barclays Premier League Central Backs
FUT 14 Barclays Premier League Right Backs (RB and RWB)
Full backs have the role of troubling the mission of the wingers. Not only. In addition, good full backs also support their team mates on offensive maneuvers.
The right flank of the defence got really weak when Maicon left for Italy. Choosing the best right back for a Barclays Premier League Team is now an extremely hard choice. There are various valid option depending on the style of play. The six first are those the most liked ones.
| HIGHEST RATED RIGHT BACKS | |||
| Pablo Zabaleta | 82 | Argentina | Manchester City |
| Bacary Sagna | 80 | France | Arsenal |
| Branislav Ivanovic | 80 | Serbia | Chelsea |
| Glen Johnson | 79 | England | Liverpool |
| Kyle Walker | 79 | England | Tottenham Hotspur |
| Micah Richards | 79 | England | Manchester City |
| Mathieu Debuchy | 78 | France | Newcastle United |
| Phil Jones | 78 | England | Manchester United |
| Azpilicueta | 77 | Spain | Chelsea |
| Rafael | 77 | Brazil | Manchester United |
There are very important attributes in any right back: defending and pace.
Since they’re defenders they should have good defending capacities. This reduces a team’s risk of conceding.
Ivanovic is the players that best fits this aspect. The only other players that offer any type of competition are the Manchester City duo Micah Richards and Zabaleta.
| RIGHT BACKS WITH BETTER DEFENDING | |||
| Branislav Ivanovic | 85 | Serbia | Chelsea |
| Pablo Zabaleta | 83 | Argentina | Manchester City |
| Micah Richards | 81 | England | Manchester City |
| Bacary Sagna | 80 | France | Arsenal |
| Phil Jones | 79 | England | Manchester United |
| Kyle Walker | 78 | England | Tottenham Hotspur |
| Azpilicueta | 77 | Spain | Chelsea |
| Glen Johnson | 76 | England | Liverpool |
| Mathieu Debuchy | 76 | France | Newcastle United |
| Rafael | 76 | Brazil | Manchester United |
A flanked game tends to be faster than a game based in the middle of the field. The players that fill these spaces are obligated to be fast, both penetrating defensive and attacking moves of the team. Pace is one of the most important requirements for a good full back.
Between all of the right backs of FIFA 14 Ultimate Team, only Ignazio Abate is faster than Kyle Walker. The English international if far superior in this aspect compared to every BPL full backs. Besides Kyle Walker only Glen Johnson may be considered a fast player.
| RIGHT BACKS WITH BETTER PACE | |||
| Kyle Walker | 92 | England | Tottenham Hotspur |
| Glen Johnson | 85 | England | Liverpool |
| Micah Richards | 81 | England | Manchester City |
| Rafael | 81 | Brazil | Manchester United |
| Mathieu Debuchy | 78 | France | Newcastle United |
| Azpilicueta | 78 | Spain | Chelsea |
| Sascha Riether | 77 | Germany | Fulham |
| Bacary Sagna | 75 | France | Arsenal |
| Pablo Zabaleta | 74 | Argentina | Manchester City |
| Martin Kelly | 74 | England | Liverpool |
Pablo Zabaleta is the highest rated right back but once again, that doesn’t necessarily mean he’s the best choice for this position. In our opinion he’s the right choice for players that don’t use full backs to attack.
On the other hand there’s Kyle Walker. He has fantastic pace, good dribbling, passing and he’s high attacking work rates make him a good player for those that see full backs as second wingers.
For those that search for an intermediate solution, in other word, a player that defends and attacks fairly, we advise Micah Richards. He’s a balanced athlete that still has the bonus of being the right back with the most strength in the game. It’s as you now know a very important attribute. Glen Johnson is also a natural alternative. Though Ivanovic has good defending he’s very slow and Sagna doesn’t reach Micah Richards level.
Best FUT 14 Barclays Premier League Right Backs
Best FUT 14 Barclays Premier League Left Backs (LB e LWB)
Left backs have exactly the same role of their teamm ates on the other flank. In other words, they try to make a winger’s job hard and participate on the team’s offensive manoeuvres.
A team’s left flank has even less options than the right but that doesn’t necessarily mean it has less quality. There are four players that stand out in this position: the veterans Ashley Cole and Patrice Evra, last season’s prominent Leighton Baines and the ever fast Gaël Clichy.
| HIGHEST RATED LEFT BACKS | |||
| Ashley Cole | 85 | England | Chelsea |
| Leighton Baines | 83 | England | Everton |
| Patrice Evra | 82 | France | Manchester United |
| Gaël Clichy | 81 | France | Manchester City |
| José Enrique | 79 | Spain | Liverpool |
| Aleksandar Kolarov | 78 | Serbia | Manchester City |
| Kieran Gibbs | 78 | England | Arsenal |
| Monreal | 77 | Spain | Arsenal |
| Aly Cissokho | 75 | France | Liverpool |
| Fábio | 75 | Brazil | Manchester United |
Ashley Cole and Patrice Evra’s joint experience in the Barclays Premier League, contribute decisively to make these two the two best defending left backs in the league. Even though being one of the fastest, using Santon should not be an option for teams where it’s necessary defending frequently.
| LEFT BACKS WITH BETTER DEFENDING | |||
| Ashley Cole | 82 | England | Chelsea |
| Patrice Evra | 80 | France | Manchester United |
| José Enrique | 80 | Spain | Liverpool |
| Leighton Baines | 79 | England | Everton |
| Gaël Clichy | 79 | France | Manchester City |
| Aleksandar Kolarov | 79 | Serbia | Manchester City |
| Kieran Gibbs | 78 | England | Arsenal |
| Monreal | 75 | Spain | Arsenal |
| Aly Cissokho | 74 | France | Liverpool |
| Fábio | 74 | Brazil | Manchester United |
Gaël Clichy is the fastest left back in the English league and the fourth most fast out of all of FUT 14 gold players. He makes his speed his biggest threat, differing from other three players from this position. All of them are a lot slower.
| LEFT BACKS WITH BETTER PACE | |||
| Gaël Clichy | 88 | France | Manchester City |
| Kieran Gibbs | 84 | England | Arsenal |
| Aly Cissokho | 81 | France | Liverpool |
| Davide Santon | 81 | Italy | Newcastle United |
| Leighton Baines | 79 | England | Everton |
| José Enrique | 79 | Spain | Liverpool |
| Patrice Evra | 78 | France | Manchester United |
| Monreal | 78 | Spain | Arsenal |
| Fábio | 77 | Brazil | Manchester United |
| Ashley Cole | 76 | England | Chelsea |
Even thought he isn’t the one who has the best defending skills, the best passing nor the best shooting, Clichy is our first choice for a Barclays Premier League based team. What he lacks in these attributes he highly compensates with his pace.
Leighton Baines and Ashley Cole are valid alternatives to the Frenchman. The first besides being an extremely balanced player is also a good crosser. He’s a good choice for more attacking teams. Cole fits better in a more defending game, as proves the fact that he is the player with the highest Slide Tackle of all the game and the third with the most Standing Tackle.
Of all the remaining players, Kieran Gibbs is our cheapest choice. He doesn’t have the same efficiency as the others we referred but he’s fast enough to cause some offensive damage and possesses reasonable defending to support properly the teams more retreated sector.
Best FUT 14 Barclays Premier League Left Backs
Best FUT 14 Barclays Premier League Central Defensive Midfielder (CDM)
Many of the FIFA 14 Ultimate Team formations require some midfielders that have a natural aptitude to defend. Central defensive midfielders distinguish themselves for being especially aimed to help the more retreated line of their teams. According to their attributes and their work rates, they can also be useful for starting attacks. They are players that occupy a very strategic position in the field.
Yaya Touré’s supremacy over all other Barclays Premier League central defensive midfielders is extremely clear. Between the balances between attributes of the remaining, only the Chelsea duo Essien and Ramires are the highest rated.
| HIGHEST RATED CENTRAL DEFENSIVE MIDFIELDERS | |||
| Yaya Touré | 86 | Ivory Coast | Manchester City |
| Michaël Essien | 81 | Ghana | Chelsea |
| Ramires | 80 | Brazil | Chelsea |
| Javi García | 79 | Spain | Manchester City |
| Cheick Tioté | 79 | Ivory Coast | Newcastle United |
| John Obi Mikel | 79 | Nigeria | Chelsea |
| Scott Parker | 79 | England | Fulham |
| Gareth Barry | 79 | England | Everton |
| Etienne Capoue | 79 | France | Tottenham Hotspur |
| Steven N’Zonzi | 78 | France | Stoke City |
There are a variety of attributes in a central defensive midfielder that you have to give attention: defending, so that the first defender of team works; strength, so that you win all brawls on a prone area of the field; heading, to win possession in aerial moves like goal kicks; pace, so that you cover the most terrain on the field as possible; stamina, so they can equally participate in offensive a defensive moves (especially useful for players with high/high work rates); passing and possession so that he can properly start attacks. In our opinion the two first are the most important.
Normally using a central defensive midfielder is associated with having a deficit of elements in your defence. So, it makes sense that when you search for a player to occupy this position you’d want players that can defend.
The two best central defensive midfielders play for Manchester City: Yaya Touré and Javi Garcia. Besides, they’re also the players that have better heading so they are two good choices for teams that want to complicate an opponent’s game in the space between the midfield and the defence.
| CENTRAL DEFENSIVE MIDFIELDERS WITH BETTER DEFENDING | |||
| Yaya Touré | 83 | Ivory Coast | Manchester City |
| Javi García | 82 | Spain | Manchester City |
| Michaël Essien | 81 | Ghana | Chelsea |
| Cheick Tioté | 81 | Ivory Coast | Newcastle United |
| John Obi Mikel | 80 | Nigeria | Chelsea |

| Gareth Barry | 80 | England | Everton |
| Cañas | 80 | Spain | Swansea City |
| Etienne Capoue | 79 | France | Tottenham Hotspur |
| Steven N’Zonzi | 78 | France | Stoke City |
The area of the field occupied by the central defensive midfielders is the one where most ball dispute happen. Strong players will have a higher probability of winning the ball.
There’s a lot of muscle between the Barclays Premier League. Once again, City’s duo is the one that stands out. On the other hand there’s Ramires. Even though he’s really appreciated by the players, Chelsea’s Brazilian rarely wins a physical brawl due to being the weakest central defensive midfielder from the main English League.
| STRONGEST CENTRAL DEFENSIVE MIDFIELDERS | |||
| Yaya Touré | 92 | Ivory Coast | Manchester City |
| Javi García | 89 | Spain | Manchester City |
| John Obi Mikel | 88 | Nigeria | Chelsea |
| Cheick Tioté | 86 | Ivory Coast | Newcastle United |
| Michaël Essien | 84 | Ghana | Chelsea |
| Steven N’Zonzi | 81 | France | Stoke City |
| Derek Boateng | 81 | Ghana | Fulham |
| Lee Cattermole | 78 | England | Sunderland |
| Youssouf Mulumbu | 78 | DR Congo | West Bromwich Albion |
| Etienne Capoue | 77 | France | Tottenham Hotspur |
Out of all the choices that are necessary to make when creating a BPL team, the central defensive midfielder is the easiest. Yaya Touré is not only the best player playing this position in England he’s the best in the world. No one is as complete as him. Fast, almost inviolate either by air or by ground, with good offensive attributes and work rates adjusted to his position. An authentic lung capable of playing the full width of the field.
Only a limited budget may justify another player other than Yaya. Ramires is normally chosen to replace him because he possess a much appreciated cocktail of work rates, pace and stamina which allows him to be everywhere. But his huge popularity makes him a player considerably expensive for some budgets.
There are still very options that offer a cheap price but still good quality wise. For those who want an element that offer defensive solidity to the team. Javi Garcia is a very interesting choice. His very accessible price is due to his mediocre pace. For those that search for someone that can step on further zones of the pitch, Tioté is a player to consider.

A lot of games are decided on the midfield and not close to the goals. The players that play in these zones are the ones that should create the game and define its rhythm.
It’s in midfield that there’s more quality in the Barclays Premier League. Some of the world’s best footballers play there. It’s the case of the Spaniards David Silva and Juan Mata and the newcomer Mesut Ozil.

| Moussa Dembélé | 81 | Belgium | Tottenham Hotspur |
| Bryan Ruíz | 81 | Costa Rica | Fulham |
Central midfielders are responsible for discovering lines that break the opponents defence. Their passing quality has to be really good so they can assist forwards.
Even though David Silva, Gerrard and Arteta share the top of the table due to the space left by the legendary Paul Scholes, the Spaniard from Manchester City is who better does it from either short or long distance. Silva is the one that makes the best short passes in the whole world.

David Silva is the most interesting player in the Barclays Premier League Midfield. He’s the best at various attributes, from which two of the ones we consider most important: passing and dribbling.
Benefiting from an upgrade, Mata climbs to the podium of best BPL midfielders, also occupied by Ozil. Though they are a lot similar our preference is directed towards the Spaniard. He has more adjusted work rates and possesses better attributes except passing and mental. The only justification we found for the Germans doubled price is due to his increasing popularity. His transfer was the most expensive by the English club and his first season is going pretty well.
Cazorla and Nasri are cheaper players that can perform well their roles as central midfielders. The Spaniard is a box to box player while the Frenchman has natural attacking tendencies.
Our cheapest choice falls to Fernandinho. Even though he isn’t very physically powerful, the Brazilian is fast dribble and is a good passer. Coutinho is also a good alternative to the number one in Manchester City’s Midfield.

Barclays Premier League Right Wingers (RM, RW e RF)
The wingers are responsible for giving game width in the attack. They’re normally very explosive players.
The right side of the midfield was in earlier seasons the weak point of Barclays Premier League based teams. This deficit of quality was obscured by Valencia, which on FUT 14 saw some of his most important attributes be downgraded. The addition of Jesus Navas to this league and the passage of Nani from left to right side, came as a solution to this problem.
| HIGHEST RATED RIGHT WINGERS | |||
| Jesús Navas | 85 | Spain | Manchester City |
| Antonio Valencia | 83 | Ecuador | Manchester United |
| Nani | 83 | Portugal | Manchester United |
| Theo Walcott | 81 | England | Arsenal |
| Erik Lamela | 81 | Argentina | Tottenham Hotspur |
| James Milner | 81 | England | Manchester City |
| Aaron Lennon | 80 | England | Tottenham Hotspur |
| Kevin Mirallas | 80 | Belgium | Everton |
| Hatem Ben Arfa | 79 | France | Newcastle United |
| Stewart Downing | 78 | England | West Ham United |
There are three fundamental attribute on a winger: pace, dribbling and passing.
Pace is probably the biggest weapon of these players. They use it to evade opponents and getting to the other side, many times through sprints on the side lines.
The Barclays Premier League is extremely well served in this chapter. Five gold players have pace over 90, being the highlighted sprinter Theo Walcott, the fastest gold player of FIFA 14 Ultimate Team.
| FASTEST RIGHT WINGERS | |||
| Theo Walcott | 96 | England | Arsenal |
| Aaron Lennon | 92 | England | Tottenham Hotspur |
| Nathan Dyer | 92 | England | Swansea City |
| Jesús Navas | 91 | Spain | Manchester City |
| Deulofeu | 91 | Spain | Everton |
| Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain | 89 | England | Arsenal |
| Kevin Mirallas | 88 | Belgium | Everton |
| Antonio Valencia | 87 | Ecuador | Manchester United |
| Marko Arnautovic | 86 | Austria | Stoke City |
| Nani | 84 | Portugal | Manchester United |
Just being fast doesn’t cut it to reach the opponents box, having good dribbling to surpass the opponents’ players that appear on the way.
There are a lot of player gifted in dribbling, being Nani and Lamela the best. The Portuguese adds good dribble to the capacity of executing every technical move of the game.
| RIGHT WINGERS WITH BETTER DRIBLLING | |||
| Nani | 88 | Portugal | Manchester United |
| Erik Lamela | 88 | Argentina | Tottenham Hotspur |
| Jesús Navas | 86 | Spain | Manchester City |

| Kevin Mirallas | 85 | Belgium | Everton |
| Aaron Lennon | 84 | England | Tottenham Hotspur |
| Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain | 84 | England | Arsenal |
| Deulofeu | 84 | Spain | Everton |
| Victor Moses | 83 | Nigeria | Liverpool |
| Antonio Valencia | 82 | Ecuador | Manchester United |
When reaching the opponents box the winger has to decide what to do. Normally, they choose to cross to the forwards. That is why it’s important for them to have good passing.
The weakest point of the Barclays Premier League Wingers is exactly this. Only James Milner offers good quality passing. Walcott for example could’ve been an option to consider filling this slot in virtue of his fantastic pace, but he’s affected negatively for missing frequently passes to his more forward team mates.
| RIGHT WINGERS WITH BETTER PASSING | |||
| James Milner | 84 | England | Manchester City |
| Jesús Navas | 79 | Spain | Manchester City |
| Nani | 79 | Portugal | Manchester United |
| Antonio Valencia | 79 | Ecuador | Manchester United |
| Kevin Mirallas | 79 | Belgium | Everton |
| Damien Duff | 78 | Republic of Ireland | Fulham |
| Erik Lamela | 76 | Argentina | Tottenham Hotspur |
| Hatem Ben Arfa | 76 | France | Newcastle United |
| Stewart Downing | 76 | England | West Ham United |
| Adam Johnson | 76 | England | Sunderland |
Navas and Nani are clearly the most indicated players to occupy this position in a team without budget restraints. Our preference goes toward the Spaniard that even though has worse shooting and doesn’t execute as much technical moves can be considerably faster and help the defence more due to his work rates high/medium.
From the most popular there’s also James Milner. That even though has good passing, he is the slowest of the whole league. We discourage this purchase.
For those that can’t pay so many coins there’s a player that doesn’t diverge far from the best: Kevin Mirallas. The Belgian is faster than Nani, has almost better dribbling than Navas and passes as well as these two players. Besides having a work rate adjusted to the position he occupies he is still has a 4 star week foot and 4 star skill moves.

Barclays Premier League Left Wingers (LM, LW e LF)
The left wingers have exactly the same role as their teammates from the other side.
With Bale leaving for Real Madrid, Hazard as become the highest rated left winger. The newcomer Willian is second on the list making it three Chelsea players in the four first places.
| HIGHEST RATED LEFT WINGERS | |||
| Eden Hazard | 85 | Belgium | Chelsea |
| Willian | 83 | Brazil | Chelsea |
| Ashley Young | 82 | England | Manchester United |
| André Schürrle | 80 | Germany | Chelsea |
| Lukas Podolski | 80 | Germany | Arsenal |
| Steven Pienaar | 80 | South Africa | Everton |
| Adel Taarabt | 78 | Morocco | Fulham |
| Nacer Chadli | 78 | Belgium | Tottenham Hotspur |
| Matt Jarvis | 77 | England | West Ham United |
| Pablo Hernández | 77 | Spain | Swansea City |
Even though they’re fast, the left wingers aren’t nearly as fast as their team mates from the right. Raheem Sterling is the only one that surpasses 90 pace but, even if you like fast players, there are others more capable than the Englishman. His passing quality is really bad.
| LEFT WINGERS WITH BETTER PACE | |||
| Raheem Sterling | 91 | England | Liverpool |
| Willian | 88 | Brazil | Chelsea |
| Ashley Young | 88 | England | Manchester United |
| André Schürrle | 88 | Germany | Chelsea |
| Scott Sinclair | 88 | England | West Bromwich Albion |
| Eden Hazard | 87 | Belgium | Chelsea |
| Matt Jarvis | 87 | England | West Ham United |
| Oussama Assaidi | 86 | Morocco | Stoke City |
| Lukas Podolski | 81 | Germany | Arsenal |
| Pablo Hernández | 80 | Spain | Swansea City |
With the exception of Podolski that isn’t a natural born dribbler there’s a proportional quality between the left winger and his dribbling. It’s natural that Hazard and Willian are the ones most highlighted in this chapter.
| LEFT WINGERS WITH BETTER DRIBBLING | |||
| Eden Hazard | 88 | Belgium | Chelsea |
| Willian | 88 | Brazil | Chelsea |

| Pablo Hernández | 83 | Spain | Swansea City |
| Scott Sinclair | 82 | England | West Bromwich Albion |
| Nacer Chadli | 81 | Belgium | Tottenham Hotspur |
Hazard is clearly the best fitted passer between the remaining left wingers. Even though we discourage, Chris Brunt is an option for those that don’t necessarily need pace.
| LEFT WINGERS WITH BETTER PASSING | |||
| Eden Hazard | 83 | Belgium | Chelsea |
| Chris Brunt | 80 | Northern Ireland | West Bromwich Albion |
| Steven Pienaar | 79 | South Africa | Everton |

| Willian | 78 | Brazil | Chelsea |
| Sylvain Marveaux | 77 | France | Newcastle United |
| Adel Taarabt | 76 | Morocco | Fulham |
| Ashley Young | 75 | England | Manchester United |
| André Schürrle | 75 | Germany | Chelsea |
| Matt Jarvis | 75 | England | West Ham United |
Hazard’s price is prohibits him from lots of budgets, proving the worth of the player. He’s without a doubt the best Barclays Premier League left winger. He’s the one the better passer and dribbler and is one of the fastest. He possesses a series of other developed attributes such as balance, agility, acceleration and ball control. We only discourage him for teams that will need him defending, given his work rate high/low.
For those that don’t want to pay as many coins for the Belgian they have the excellent newcomer, Willian. The ex-Shakhtar man is a complete and balanced player. The other Chelsea player, André Schurrle is our third choice.
One of the most use players in the BPL is Podolski. Even though he’s the one that has the best shooting, his passing and dribbling don’t convince us.
On the other hand of what happens on the right flank, the cheapest choice isn’t the more obvious one. Matt Jarvis seems as the most balanced player to use but you should certify that his high/low work rate applies to your team’s formation.

Barclays Premier League Forwards (CF e ST)
The forwards are the players on which fall the most responsibility of scoring goals.
In the Barclays Premier League, the most popular players are Robin Van Persie, top goal scorer of the last two seasons, Sergio Aguero, City’s attacking reference, Wayne Rooney, the mythical Manchester United player and Luis Suarez, one of the fans’ favourites.
| HIGHEST RATED FORWARDS | |||
| Robin van Persie | 89 | Netherlands | Manchester United |
| Sergio Agüero | 88 | Argentina | Manchester City |
| Wayne Rooney | 87 | England | Manchester United |
| Luis Suárez | 86 | Uruguay | Liverpool |
| Soldado | 84 | Spain | Tottenham Hotspur |
| Stevan Jovetic | 84 | Montenegro | Manchester City |

| Javier Hernández | 82 | Mexico | Manchester United |
| Jermain Defoe | 81 | England | Tottenham Hotspur |
| Demba Ba | 81 | Senegal | Chelsea |
| Olivier Giroud | 80 | France | Arsenal |
To score goals shooting is necessary. If either by foot or head, the most important attribute for a forward are: shooting, heading and pace.
Most goals are scored with the foot so good shooting is a necessary attribute for a forward.
Robin Van Persie is the second best shooter of FIFA 14 Ultimate Team. Only Cristiano Ronaldo is superior. Besides his team mate Wayne Rooney, Aguero and Suarez possess an above average shot. This means the best forwards are the ones that best shooting.
| FORWARDS WITH BETTER SHOOTING | |||
| Robin van Persie | 89 | Netherlands | Manchester United |
| Wayne Rooney | 87 | England | Manchester United |
| Sergio Agüero | 84 | Argentina | Manchester City |

| Demba Ba | 80 | Senegal | Chelsea |
| Olivier Giroud | 80 | France | Arsenal |
| Nicolas Anelka | 79 | France | West Bromwich Albion |
On FUT 14, knowing how to head gained another importance. Plenty of goals are born like this.
Unlike with shooting there’s no proportionality between players with high ratings and players with good heading. Of the four more popular only Rooney appears in the list of 30 forwards with good heading.
| FORWARDS WITH BETTER HEADING | |||
| Andy Carroll | 88 | England | West Ham United |
| Wilfried Bony | 86 | Ivory Coast | Swansea City |
| Olivier Giroud | 83 | France | Arsenal |

| Christian Benteke | 81 | Belgium | Aston Villa |
| Loïc Rémy | 81 | France | Newcastle United |
| Jozy Altidore | 81 | United States | Sunderland |
Depending on the style of play and formation having good shooting and heading may not be enough for a striker. Especially in games that privilege counter-attack, pace is a very important attribute.
Eto’o is back to the big European Stage in time to accompany Rémy to the list of fastest Barclays Premier League forwards. In a way, the 41 Forwards of this league are fast players, but not as fast as the Frenchman or the Cameroonian.
| FORWARDS WITH BETTER PACE | |||
| Samuel Eto’o | 91 | Cameroon | Chelsea |
| Loïc Rémy | 91 | France | Newcastle United |
| Daniel Sturridge | 90 | England | Liverpool |

| Christian Benteke | 81 | Belgium | Aston Villa |
| Iago Aspas | 81 | Spain | Liverpool |
| Darren Bent | 80 | England | Fulham |
| Yoan Gouffran | 80 | France | Newcastle United |
Choosing the best Barclays Premier League forward is a bit subjective because it depends on everyone’s style of play. In our opinion Sergio Aguero is the most complete. Even though he’s a player primarily focused on attack, he make it really well. Even though he’s not the best at any of the attributes he consider more important no other BPL forward surpasses him in ball control, acceleration and balance.
For those that don’t have the money to pay for him, there is a new player that came this season to spice up the English League: Samuel Eto’o, even though he isn’t a cheap player, it’s enough to say that he has the best average between the three most important attributes we considered.
In spite of his excellent capacity to shoot Van Persie fails for being too slow and not using his head properly. Rooney for example in spite of not being the fastest he seems like a viable option for most teams.
Far from Luis Suaréz or Jovetic’s quality, Javier Hernandéz is our cheapest choice. The Mexican may cause a lot of damage on the opponents defence.

Barclays Premier League team suggestions
A lot of people think that this is the most important part of the guide. It’s not. The thing that is really important to know is how to choose player based on their role and style of play that fits each player. And that is made in the previous chapters. The team suggestions that follow are simple graphic indicators of what we wrote previously. They should serve merely as orientation because it’s impossible to build a team that fits everyone. They depend on various factors we don’t know such as budget, formation, style of play and player preferences.
To try and explore the needs of the maximum player as possible we suggest three teams with different budgets and formations: 4-1-2-1-2 with unlimited budget, 4-4-2 with 100k budget and 4-3-3 with a 20k budget.

911 million coins (701k + 210k)
- Summary
The choice for this team’s player was based on analysis made in the previous chapters. In goal, Lloris is still our favourite. In centre back position, Vidic was not chosen because we think most players that choose him will only be for formations that use 5 defenders. Kaboul wins over David Luiz in the first squad because of the Brazilians work rates. The full backs chosen were fast enough and equally balanced. Depending on a players mentality you can put attacking full backs like, Kyle Walker or more defending full backs like, Ashley Cole.
The four players in midfield are untouchable, the same happens with Aguero in the attack. Those that play with a forwards head may prefer Rooney for Eto’o.

- Summary
The choice for this team’s players was based on analysis made in the previous chapter. In goal, Hart is a cheaper alternative to Cech and Lloris. In the defence everything remains the same, except Koscielny comes in for Kompany. Vermaelen and Vertonghen are stuck in as subs because of their high attacking work rate. Half of the budget was spent on three midfielders: Schurrle and Eriksen, that are two pleasant surprises in FUT 14, and Cazorla that according to a players preference may be preferable than Nasri. Even though not being an extraordinary player, Valencia is the best right winger for this position. On the attack for those that don’t need as much pace, Torres shoots and passes better than Chicharrito.

- Summary
The choice for this team’s players was based on analysis made in the previous chapter. In goal Begovic is a true penny saver. In defence Kolo Touré and Gary Cahill close the path to goal with the precious help of Javi Garcia. The Spaniard is a very useful element in these types of formation for giving defensive security in midfield and setting free team mates to start attacks. Glen Johnson and Kieran Gibbs are the full backs, they are both a case of good value for money, the biggest investment is on the Brazilian duo Fernandinho and Coutinho that with their pace, dribbling, and above average passing give width to the attack. On the last third of the field there are two distinct cases: Mirallas is a great surprise while Jarvis in the left flank is the worst player on the team. The man responsible for goals is Chicharito despite Soldados’s characteristics being better fitted for this formation.
Hybrid Squads
Building a hybrid team is not usually an easy task. The biggest difficulty is finding key player to join between different leagues.
The Barclays Premier League has players with many nationalities, therefore is it’s more prone to allow the build-up of hybrid teams with other leagues. The team with greatest quality is the result of the combination of BBVA and BPL. David Silva, Mata, Navas, Soldado, Negredo and Torres are key players in this connection. There are also Belgium defenders like Kompany that can connect really well with Thibaut Courtois and let’s not forget that there is also the perfect connection between Aguero and Messi.
Building a good Hybrid team based in the BPL and Bundesliga is also possible. There are a lot of great German players that play in England such as, Özil, Schürrle and Podolski other choices include Van Persie, Clichy and Nasri.
On an inferior level, the BPL still connects reasonably with other leagues, especially with the league 1.

Who should i buy as the other ST?
I usually play along the wings so dont need much pace with the striker. Also i only play ground pass mostly so i dont need good heading. But i need really good shooting. I dont have much budget. (20k for striker)
Suggest other changes too…
Pls. let other players also less than 20k
I also concede counters so i need good CBs. I dont wanna change my Formation (I play FIFA world and formation affects chemistry in it.)

Hello Rodrigo,
i try make hybrid BPL and BBVA:
https://www.easports.com/uk/fifa/football-club/ultimate-team/show-off?showoffId=cAIwPRQrnLbHC:pc
i dont find any good LM from BBVA, then i think i should use Willian and Miranda, Marcelo and Ramires. And Negredo / Soldado really good strikers. Slower but strong. I try play Long balls and High pressure.
I play now with 4-1-2-1-2 and i am really happy for that.
I need now a little bit time for chemistry 10 (loyalty).
Future:
CAM – Silva / Mata, i think Silva is better
CDM – Garcia – no another alternative, or?
RB – here i dont know, Juanfran is ok, but i need somebody as alternative? Jesús Gámez or Azpilicueta?
CB – i buy Pique (slow) or Iñigo Martínez with M/M
Any suggestions? I try find a good workrates, not the best players
RM and LM has H/M and i think it´s really good
THX Jan
And i use your tip – Miranda as CB, he has really nice Workrate and really cheap / good player
Cool.
Hi, the comments for this topic are close.
However, here are some tips:
1) Silva
2) Garcia is a good CDM
3) Juanfran and then Azpilicueta
4) keeping you team why not David Luiz ?
I am relatively new to FIFA FUT… i have the following team… I would love to get the suggestions and feedbacks… :)…. i play 4-4-2 formation…
GK: Lloris/Mignolet
CB: Terry/Sakho/Kaboul
LB: Cole/Enrique
RB: Sagna/Richards
CM: Kagawa/Paulinho/Arteta
LM: Young/Chadli
RM: Walcott/Lamela/Lennon

Olá Rodrigo, parabéns pelo seu trabalho que nos ajuda e muito.
Tenho uma equipe baseada na Barclays jogando no 4,2,3,1 com 3 meias, meu time é:
Lloris
Zabaleta
Kompany
Davi Luiz
Clichy
Ramires
Felaini
Ozil
Davi Silva
Roney
Soldado
Tenho uma graninha pra gastar mais não sei se compro o Yaya para fortalecer os volantes ou se compro o Aguero apesar do Soldado ser artilheiro do meu time, não perde uma.
Qual a sua sugestão para melhorar o meu time?
Olá. Como sabe, os comentários para este guia estão fechados.
Se o Soldado está a dar conta do recado, compre o Touré. Irá notar a diferença…
i use 4-1-2-1-2
Lloris
jose Enrique Vidic Vertonghen Zabaleta
Ramires
Giaccherini Valencia
Rosicky
Adebayor Negredo

St Defoe. Remy
Hi.
You have a nice team. But you should pay attention to your CB’s. Both have high attacking work rate. That means that you may not have players on your defence when you need.
Our suggestions: Kaboul instead of vertoghen and, when you get more coins, Shurlle on Young place.
Regards
Thank you very much. I really appreciate it.
DO you think I should buy santiago carzola or nasri as cam.
I already answered that question to someone here. We prefer Nasri. But if you want someone that helps the defence, Cazorla is your man.
We only recommend Vidic for formations with 5 defenders.
I mean Santi Carzola and should I get Vidic
Even though this is counted cheap for other people, it is still a big amount of money for me. Do you know how to get money just by playing FIFA 14 what division must I play.
Thank you very much!
Real money or FUT coins ?
The higher the division, more coins you win.
Hi great article very useful
I need to improve my team but I don’t know where it is weakest can you help
My team is-
De gea
Walker
Kaboul
Vertonghen
Clichy
Ramires
Walcott
Schurle
Cazorla
Sturridge
Jovetic
I haven’t got a huge budget I could probably save up to 20k max, but where should I spend it. sorry about spelling
Hi.
Our suggestion is Nani to the right side. If you save a bit more, you can try Eto’o instea of Sturridge. It would be an amazing improvement.
My team is
Lloris(Hart)
Luiz and kompany (Vertonghen)
Clichy (Baines)
Richards(Walker)
Cazorla and Nasri(Gerrard and Ramires)
Navas(Nani)
William (Schurrle)
Eto’o and Torres (Sturride)
You have any suggestions??
Pay attention to your CB’s work rates as we already have talked hundred of times and… Torres ? You can find a better player, for sure.
Hi Rodrigo again!
Jovetic in your opinion is a good player?
If you say no, what attacker I buy( but not very expensive)?
I have Eto’o, Torres and Sturrigde
And Vidic and Kaboul, who is the best?
If you even read 1 of his other comments.. Yes, he likes Jovetic, but he thinks Eto’o is better. So you shouldn’t buy Jovetic if you have Eto’o.
Also Vidic is a beast, but his workrates aren’t very good. It depends on who your other defender is.
Thank you Joey.
As we have announced, we will close the comments to this guide when we get 350 comments. So please, try to ask something that you can not find on the previous comments.
hi I want to make this team…https://www.futhead.com/14/squads/4886307/ (which I made) but when would be the best time to buy the more expensive players? before tots or after, I have already bought if figeroa for 10,500k. Will if prices drop e.g walcott who I plan to have on the rw?
Thanks
Nobody can be sure but probably during the best happy hours, the ones with 100k packs for example.
By any chance do you know what happened last year and when it was best to buy? Btw this website blog is great so useful!
Thank you.
I know what happened not only last year but also in previous ones. On the first TOTY’s the prices have dropped a lot with the TOTY release and they continue to drop. Last year it was slightly different. The prices dropped one to two weeks before the TOTY release and during the TOTY some prices have increased and others don’t. After the TOTY, most of the prices were lower than when the prices started decreasing.
2 questions:
-2 players:Cole, Baines or Clichy???????
-Second goalkeeper : Hart, Cech or De Gea????
Thanks!
Hi Pedro.
Just take a look to the left backs and goalkeepers of this guide. You have there the answers to your questions.
Hi you have helped me before just wondered if you can now i have 320k budget and i wanna make a strong all round bpl squad what players shall i have? and what formation? many thanks !
Oh my god! How many times I will have to say that the formation should be chosen by your play style and not by the players.
Anyway, our suggestion is to use the squad with unlimited budget that we have suggested with these changes: Rooney in, Aguero out; Willian in, Hazard out. If your budget is not enough, try Mata instead of David SIlva.
Regards
Dear Rodrigo thanks a lot.
As adviced Luiz out Kaboul in but i still conceding many goals.
Willian out Hazard in.I changed formation now i play 4-3-3.
Eto’o is out i need CM.Who is your favouirite?Ramires,Fellaini budget is not problem i have enough coins i just want to have best.
Thanks a lot
Hi. If you already have Touré, then you will need to buy David Silva.
You need to analyse how are the goals that you conceding. For example: if almost all goals are on crosses, you may think on Vidic.
Regards
Hi Rodrigo.
I have:
Cech-GK
Kompany-CB
David Luiz-CB
Yaya Toure-CDM
Willian-LM
Rooney-CAM
Navas-RM
Eto’o-ST
Aguero-ST
I played 15 games with them fantasticly.After that i started to lose.Why
Hi.
You have a great team.
There are many possible explanations for that: matchmaking, higher divisions and stronger opponents, mental factors, etc…
The only thing you should pay attention is the work rates of your CB’s. If you are conceding many goals, you may need to change one of the CB’s.
Regards
courtouis SP Belgian GK with vertonghen and kompany in the back is the way to go…use chemistry cards to fix any style weakness…i won the all best off line seasons with that as the line up and now i’m starting on online, 3-1-0 …..
Thanks for the ggreat info…would it be best to have all man city team…with Baines at leaft back in a very attacking 41212 style, with tones of crossing or put clichy.and lescott or demichels with kompany?
I always heard that in a team that wins, we do should not change anything. 🙂
Hi Rodrigo, i need some support from you about my BPL Team.
I have problem with formation which use to play. I like defensive style and passing with middlefield players. I think 4-3-3(3) with 2 CMDS should be the best for me but i dont know. What do you think ?
I have problem with choosing the best players for all positions
I am using now:
GK: LLoris /De Gea
LCB Kaboul / Vertonghen
RCB Koscielny / IF Caulker (Cardif)
LB Evra / Ashley Cole
RB Richards / Sagna
LCDM Fellaini / Tiote (
RCDM Sandro / Lucas Leiva
(I have problem with CDMs, i don’t know which one is the best, i noticed that Fellaini has a problem with defending but he has good stats, but i don’t have money for Yaya Toure)
CAM – Rooney / Santi Cazorla or Ericsen
LW – Schurrle /Willian (Chelsea)
RW – Nani / Walcott
ST – Soldado / Benteke
I have also players on my club to choose: Jovetic, Lennon, Hernandez, Negredo, Baines, Wilshere, Young, Demba Ba, Dembele, Lescott, Paulinho, Podolski, Kolo Toure, Cahill, Szczęsny, Cleverley, De Bruyne, Capoue, OBI Mikel, Debuchy, Jones, Monreal, Flamini, Gary Medel.
Can you tell me which chemistry styles should be used for positions ? I made that choice:
GK – Gloves
LB – Backbone
CB – Sentinel
RB – Backbone
CDM – Powerhouse
LW – Engine
CAM/CM – Artist
RM – Engine
ST – Hawk
Please help me and advice me which formation, players, and chemistry styles should i use for my team. Ty
Hi.
433 (3) it is a defensive formation but seems OK to your play style.
Your players are OK. You have good CDM’s but if you are not happy with them and want some one good on defence, try Javi Garcia. I also think you could buy a better ST. Eto’o is “only” 25k right now. Try him.
Chemistry styles depends of the players, our play style, formation, etc… It is something very personal to say if it is wrong or right. I may think that I should improve the best attributes and you should think that you should improve the worst attributes to make players more balanced. I agree with you chemistry styles. The only one that I am not sure is the CAM/CM. But as I already said, it depends of the players. Not always I use the same chemistry styles to the players playing on the same position.
Regards
Ok i will try to collect for Eto’o but don’t you think there will be problem with his heading ? He is only one ST on formation 4-3-3(3) and when wingers are making crosses, Striker should have good Heading statistics ?
I know that. I play with him and he scores a lot of goals with his head. Don’t forget that heading is not the only thing important when you want to score a goal with the head. Jumping and positioning are extremely important too. And he has good stats here (85 for both). Try him and if you don’t like him, sell him again.
Hey I was wondering how I can improve my team,
GK:Lloris
CB:David Luiz and Kompany
RB:Richards
LB:Clichy
CDM:Toure
LM:Hazard
RM:Navas
CAM:Juan Mata
ST:Jovetic and Eto’o
Hi.
You almost have the dream team of the BPL.
I will assume that you don’t have coins for Aguero and Silva. In that case, the only position you can improve is the ST. We think that Rooney is a great player but not every one agrees.
Also pay attention to the work rate of your CB’s. You may have to change one of them if you concede many goals.
Hey!
You’ve helped me before and my team is doing great now!
But as every good player, I always want to keep improving.
Current team: 4-1-4-1
Courtois
Walker – Vertonghen – Kompany – Glichy
Fellainni
Navas – Dembele – Naingollan – Schurlle
Eto’o
At first, I really didn’t like Eto’o as I thought he was to weak (compared to Benteke who scores almost every corner and cross), but after 10 games and changing my style of playing (more combinations, less crosses) he started doing better and I like him now! So thanks for the suggestion!
Next player I want to change because his chem is only 7: Naingolan, but I’m not sure who to take in his place!
Is David Silva (100k+) worth the money or do you suggest Mata (45k), Özil or Cazorla and saving the extra money for Yaya Touré in the future?
After that I think I’ll save for Touré or I’ll buy Willian, I’m not sure yet!
Current budget: 50K but I earn around 15k every online season (playing in Division 1). And when my team needs to rest, I play offline seasons with another decent team, so money comes pretty fast!
Thank you! We need to play with a player several times to know how good he is. You did it. Great.
You have a good team. Your CM’s are the weakest players. We think that you should try Mata and then Touré. It is true that David Silva is a great player but the difference of price to Mata is too high. You should buy Mata now, save for Touré and later you can go for David Silva.
We love Willian but Schurlle is a great good value for money. It is not a priority.
Regards
Hi Rodrigo,
I have a 4-5-1
Gk: Mignolet/Courtois
RB:Sagna/Johnson
CB:Cahill/Vermaelen
CB:Vertongen
CM: Lampard
RW: Lamela/Dyer
CAM: Oscar/Coutinho
CAM: Wilshere/Paulinho
LW:Podolski/Sterling
ST:Benteke/Lukaku
I have 90k who should I get to improve my team?
Hi.
It depends of your play style and preferences.
First of all you need a LB. Probably Cole or Clichy.
Our other suggestions:
Navas, Schurlle, Eto’o, Cazorla and Kompany. You probably have coins enough for all of them. It will be a huge improvement.
Regards
Hi Rodrigo,
I was wondering of how I can improve my team, recently I have been loosing in division 3.I mostly use 3-5-2 formation.
Position: first choice /second
Gk:cech/de gea
Cb:vidic/terry
Cb:Ferdinand/Richards
Cb: Ashley cole/zabelata
CDM: Ramires
CDM: Gerard
Rm: Nani/Lennon
Lm: schruule
Cam: nasri/erickson
St 1: benzema/cavani
St2: sturridge/Hernandez
Any suggestions what I should change or buy?
Thanks.
Hi.
In my opinion your CB’s are too slow. You need faster players as Kompany, David Luiz, Kaboul…
The midfield and the attack is OK. But you can try other players as Jovetic or Eto’o (as soon you save more coins).
i have around 30 k saved up, should i get eto or kompany?
Eto’o.
Sorry the team above is not correct
Diego Alves
Alex
Thiago Silva
David Silva
Schurrle
Ramires
Matuidi
Lucas
Cavani
Falcao
Suarez
Subs:
Jefferson
Vidic
M Gomez
A Cole
Cahill
Maicon
3412
It is OK too. But don’t forget to check the individual chemistry. It is more important than the team chemistry. learn more about it HERE.
Hi Rodrigo,
I had a great team (to follow) but I spent all my money on 100k packs, and also how would you say to get me back up on my feet, and how could I improve on my team but not the budget?
Diego Alves
Maicon
Thiago Silva
David Luiz
Ashley Cole
Schurrle
Ramires
Matuidi
Lucas
Cavani
Falcao
442
Sorry Rodrigo its not 442!
Hi.
We said hundreds of times that buying packs is not a good strategy to get richer. See HERE how to make coins.
About that team, it seems OK but you probably don’t get full individual chemistry for all your players.
Regards
et en MD ????
I tink you do not need to change your RM. But if you want save for Nani.
Hi rodrigo I was wondering if this was a good team
Gk begovic
Rb Johnson
Cbs kaboul terry
Lb Gibbs
Cms carrick arteta
Cam eriksen
Rw lamela
Lw podolski
St negredo.
I now have 8k to spend
Our suggestion: Fellaini, Cole, Valencia and Remy.
It is a good low-budget team.
With more coins you can improve it.
This is another hybrid I have thought of making
4-3-3 (CAM)
Gk – courtois
Rb – alves
cb – ramos
cb – kompany
lb – ashley cole
cm – iniesta/ alonso/ xavi
cam – silva
cm – yaya toure
rw – di maria
st – aguero
lw – hazard
What do you think about this squad? I have also posted one on the bundesliga guide, so compared to that one as well?
I prefer this one…
It is more similar to mine team.
I myself like this one more, its faster and a more solid team with 9 or 10 individual chemistry and also a bit cheaper compared to that one
You can get individual chemistry 9 or 10 on the second one too.
Et excusé moi de vous déranger mais dans les milieux latéraux j’aimerai bien acheté schurres en MG mais est t-il bon avant de payer 10000 crédits ??? Par contre en MD je sais pas quoi prendre ???
Go ahead with him. He is a great player.
Hee Sam, Why Benzema? He didn’t play in the Premier Leagea…
Benzema is the best suited striker for my budget, besides if I have Arsene Wenger as manager it improves his individual chemistry. Jovetic though may well be a good replacement.
You can also create a team of 50K?
Just try the 100k team we published in this guide. Their prices are lower now. You can buil it with 50k.
why did Lucas Leveira not stand at the CVM?
hi. i plan to make a bpl team with the followin players-
GK-Hart
RB-Zabeleta
CB-Kompany
CB-Vidic
LB-Cole
CDM-Garcia
RM-Navas
LM-Schurle
CAM-Nasri
RS-Rooney
LS-Benzema
Can you suggest some alternative for Javi Garcia(Under 5K) and Benzema(Around 20k)
Thamks in advance
Could you also suggest some substitutes, altogether not more than 20k
Just check the teams we have suggested on this guide.
Hi.
Fellaini would be great to replace Javi Garcia. You can try Jovetic to play aside with Rooney. With some more coins go to Eto’o. He is really great.
Hi, i’ve a bpl squad and came with the squad in division 3 but now i’m losing everything and i”m now in division 5 so i need to improve my squad.

Nasri
Cazorla
Navas
Soldado
William
Can you help my i’ve 60k
Hi.
Keep focus. Many times the problem is our mind.
We think that you already have a good team but you should improve two positions: CB’s and ST. You can buy Kompany and Jovetic, for example.
Hey again Rodrigo,
Thank you for the advice,I’ve been playing with this team for a while and haven’t the changes you said because I think it’s my formation that’s the problem and but with the suggestions you already gave me can you give me the best formation that improved team which you have suggested many thanks Jono 🙂
Hi. Next time, use the “reply” please.
Try 451 (2).
Hey Rodrigo,
I just wanted to check if this is what i should do before i go spend all my coins
So,451(2)? I’m not sure that will work for me :/ but anyway

Since you don’t have a large budget, you can try Remy and Erikssen. Two cheap good players.
Regards
Hi, I have a bpl squad with a 4-1-2-1-2 formation. I have money but not unlimited funds. Was wondering if you could suggest any improvements. My long term targets are toure, aguero, Silva and hazard but this is my current squad.
Gk- Cech, Mignolet
Rb- Zabaleta, Johnson
Cb- Kompany, Vidic, Luiz, Agger
Lb- Baines, Cole
Cdm- Gerrard, Lucas
Rm- Navas, Valencia
Lm- Willian, Young
Cam- Mata, Cazorla
St- Suarez, Eto’o, Jovetic, Negredo
Hi.
Nice team. You already good players. Now it is time to save to the bigger ones. Our suggestion is to try Touré first. Hazard should be the last one. He is a good player, better than Willian, but he is too expensive right now.
Regards
Hi, I am a starter player and am trying to save coins. Can you comment on my two teams below and say which is better?
Team 1 (4-4-2)
Vorm
Zabaleta, Skrtel, Ferdinand, Evra
Milner, Lampard, Carrick, Pienaar
Soldado, Chicharito
Team 2 (4-5-1)
Vorm
Zabaleta, Skrtel, Ferdinand, Evra
Lampard, Carrick, Giggs
Ramirez
Cavani, Chicharito
Please suggest some ideas for low price improvements? Long term transfer targets are Rooney and Suarez.
Oh, and in addition, my full squad consists:
GK: Vorm, Schwarzer
RB: Zabaleta, Jones
CB: Ferdinand, Skrtel, Dawson, Brown
LB: Evra
RM: Milner, Lallana
CM: Carrick, Lampard, Giggs, Fletcher
CAM: Ramirez
LM: Pienaar, Etherington
ST: Cavani, Soldado, Hernandez, Carroll, Chamakh
My targets are for a team something like this:
Vorm
Zabaleta, Skrtel, Ferdinand, Evra
Carrick, Lampard, Rooney (position change applied)
Ramirez, Suarez
Cavani
(Ramirez solely for avoiding any red links)
Sorry for my long-winded-ness!
Hi. Welcome.
I can not understand what the hell Cavani is doing in that team. You probably are thinking “but I have chemistry 100”. If it was your though, maybe you should read our Chemistry Guide HERE. You will realize that individual chemistry is more important and the Cavani chemistry is awful in that team. That’s why we prefer the first team.
Before thinking in great players, as Rooney and Suarez (this one is too expensive at the moment due to his IRL performances), you should try to save 5 to 10k coins and make some good changes. We suggest this ones: Kaboul, Valencia, Erikssen and Remy.
Good luck !
Ah, yes, I have tried to make my own squad with Cavani on Futhead and see what you mean about Cavani’s individual chemistry. However, with Suarez (whom I have been saving up for, and nearly have enough coins for) and Ramirez behind him, he gets two normal (orange) links and has 9 individual chemistry. Is that still not too good? It is simply that I like Cavani’s h/h work rate, and his all rounded pace, dribbling, shooting and heading stats, especially at what I consider a good price (I already have him and got him for around 7500 coins) for an 87 rated striker. And if I have enough coins to get both Suarez and Rooney (and convert the latter to a CAM), would the below squad be any good? Cavani, who stays in this team, will have 9 individual chemistry. Thanks again!
Vorm
Zabaleta, Skrtel, Ferdinand, Evra
Lampard, Rooney, Carrick
Ramirez, Suarez
Cavani
Eric, whoops, no, Cavani will only have 6 ind. chemistry. How’s this?
(Same goalkeeper and defense)
Milner, Ramirez. Carrick, Suarez, Pienaar
Cavani
Only Ramirez and Suarez have links with Cavani so he will have 9 ind. chemistry. Thx!
Well… 9 is OK. 6 is bad. I know he is a really good buy. He is really cheap. But with individual chemistry 6, forget it…
Hi, thanks a lot Rodrigo for your advise
Gonna save up for Rooney and what a luck I got Balotelli from free packs, should I sell him? Cause i’m not looking for hybrid squad. Thx 🙂
Yes, you should.
Hello
This is a really awesome guide!
I have a 433 (4) BPL team that cost around 160k.
I am in division 3, But the problem is i am loosing every game now! I have no idea what’ s wrong! Can you give me some advice. I can sell players and buy the ones you suggesting ,no problem!
Team:
Gk: Cech
Lb: clichy
Cb:koscielny
Cb: vidic
Rb: Richards
Cm: ramires
Cam: nasri
Cm: sandro
Rw: Jesus navas
St: eto’o
Lw: Willian
Hi.
The only thing that we disagree is having Vidic in a formation without CDM’s and with only 2 CB’s. He is too slow. It is too risky. If you think that you are conceding many goals because of him, buy David Luiz.
Good luck !
Regards
Hi rodrigo
Thanks a lot!
I sold vidic and i bought david luiz!
This helps me a lot, thank you!
Btw does it give any problems if i swap Sandro with Gerrard?
Great.
You can do it.

hi, great website by the way.
I play 343 formation and attack from the wings. my team is:

CB-Kompany
CB-Vidic

CM-mata
CM-ozil
RM-nani
LW-hazard
ST-Suarez
RW-navas
Hi Rodrigo,
I’m playing with 4-1-2-1-2, here’s my squad
Gk – Cech/lloris
CB – Kompany/luiz
CB – Kaboul/Sakho
RB – Richards/ivanovic
LB – Clichy/baines
CDM – Yaya Toure/Sandro
CAM – Cazorla/Eriksen
RM – Navas/Nani
LM – Willian/Schurrle
ST – Suarez/Jovetic
ST – Soldado/Negredo/Ba
What do you think? I also have Young but dunno which is better compared with Willian and Schurrle. Also which is better Sakho or Kaboul or Luiz
Thx, and srry for english
Your English is perfect.
You have a nice team. Probably the weakest position is CAM. Cazorla is a good player but you have better players on the other positions. In the future, you can try Mata or Rooney as CAM. Also, Eto’o would be perfect to play with Suarez. But right now, the team is great.
Willian is better than Schurlle and much much better than Young. Luiz is the bets of these three players but pay attention to his work rates.
Regards
Hey rodrigo i have a question i have a 200 k budget what are the players i should get if my playing styles are through the wings and is 4-2-3-1 good? Thank you
Yes, 4231 should not be OK. You are probably talking about 4231 (2).
Try something like: Lloris, Micah, Kompany, Kaboul, Clichy, Fellaini, Ramires, Mata, Navas, Willian and Eto’o.
Thanks and yes i was reffering to 4-2-3-1 (2)
Hi. first time playing FUT here. I cant seem to get past div 4. I am currently building a BPL 4-1-2-1-2 squad. got 60K coins saved up so far.

CB – Kaboul / David Luiz / Sakho / Vidic(sold and need replacement)
RB – Johnson / Richards
LB – Baines / Enrique
CDM – Fellaini / Paulinho
LM – Assaidi / Chadli (???)
RM – Mirallas / Lamela
CAM – De bruyne / Fernandinho
ST – Jovetic / Kone / Torres / ???
Should i save up to get the expensive players or do you have any recommendations? thank you and happy new year..
Replaced:
Chadli to Schurrle (Cheaper than Willian)
Vidic to Koscielny
You followed our recommendations before we advice you. 🙂
Yea. Good thing that i made the right choice then because i almost bought kompany but noticed that his price was increasing the past 2 days and I couldnt wait as it is the first time i have had this many coins. 🙂
🙂
Hi.
If you are new to FUT, check THIS.
About your team, here are our recommendations: Koscielny, Schurlle, Nani, Erikssen and Remy. As soon you get more coins, you may start thinking on better players as Eto’o and Cazorla.
Regards
Thank you I will check that guide out. So as you recommended:
GK – Cech / Begovic
CB – Kaboul / David Luiz / Sakho / Koscielny
RB – Johnson / Richards
LB – Baines / Enrique
CDM – Fellaini / Paulinho
LM – Schurrle / Assaidi
RM – Nani / Mirallas
CAM – Cazorla / Eriksen /De bruyne / Fernandinho (Who should i sell?)
ST – Jovetic / Kone / Torres / Remy / Eto’o (Who should i sell?)
In our opinion, you should sell Kone and De Bruyne.
Thanks a lot for your time and replies. I cant wait to test out my upgrades!!
Hi Rodrigo,
I was wondering which league you believe is the best league overall in fifa 14 ultimate team, and if you could then build me a 250k 4-1-2-1-2 team from that league (PS4). Thank you very much 🙂
BBVA is the league with best overall.
You can try something like: Casillas, Dani Alves, Sergio Ramos, Miranda IF, Marcelo, Song, Iniesta, Di Maria, Giovani dos Santos IF1, Benzema and Diego Costa.
Hi, I looked at that team on futhead and it says that it costs 338k on playstation? Sorry to bother you again but what changes should I make to make the team 250k on playstation? Thanks 🙂
FUTHead is wrong. As most of the times happens. Don’t trust on their prices.
However, it is true that 250k will not be enough. You can place Fàbregas on the Iniesta place.
Regards
Hello,
My team is a 4-3-3 (2):
Lloris
Richards Kompany Kaboul Clichy
Cazorla Fellani Fernandinho
Shurrle Jovetic Navas
Any improvements to this team? I have around 30k. Should I keep Fernandinho or replace him with nasri, ramires….? THANKS!!
Very balanced team. With that budget, I think Nasri should be the right decision. Fernandinho is your weakest player. But, if you are getting troubles with Jovetic, use that coins to buy Eto’o.
Regards
Hey!! I listened to your advice and bought both eto and nasri. Thanks!! So my team now is 4-3-3 (2)=
Lloris
Clichy
Kaboul
Koompany
Richards
Nasri
Fellani
Cazorla
Navas
Eto
Schurlle.
Where can I improve ?? Assume a budget of under 100k
Hi. Nice team.
You already have a very nice team. Save for Touré.
Hey Rodrigo. Here’s my team. Using 4-3-3
GK – Lloris/De Gea
RB – Zabaleta /Walker /Richards
CB – Kompany /Vidc /Luis /Cahill /Ferdinand
LB – Cole /Clichy /Baines
CDM – Fellaini /Yaya Toure
CM – Silva /Nasri /Oscar /Kagawa
LW – Valencia /Navas
RW – Young /Hazard
ST – Rooney /Soldado /Sturridge
Should I try to invest more on striker or should I sell Rooney for other striker? This is from hard earn coins from matches.
Hi.
You have enough players to build two teams, which is great.
You have almost the best players of BPL. It’s easy to see how good is your team but it is not easy to say which one would be your next step. In our opinion, ST is the weakest position. Rooney is great but Soldado and Sturridge are not good players enough to play as he does when he needs to rest. Selling Rooney doesn’t seems to us a good option since is price is too low to 2 good strikers. I think you should save for Eto’o. In the meanwhile, buy Jovetic.
Regards
Okay. Thanks for the info.
If I save more and do trading, Aguero would be a better choice I assume
Aguero is a beast.
Hey rodrigo I upgraded my team since last time. I’m using a 4-1-2-1-2
Gk- DeGea
Cb-kaboul/koscielny
Cb-Cahill /vertoghen
Lb-Ashely cole/clichy/ Gibbs
Rb-Richards /Johnson
CDM – Fellani /sandro

CAM- santi cazorla /arteta
RM – navas / mirrallas
St- eto’o / jovetic
St- benteke/ lukaku / sturridge / soldado/ Javier Hernandez
I would like to know if I still need to improve my squad and also I have a 100k budget
Hi.
As you may imagine, you already have, at least, 11 good players. Probably you don’t need so many strikers.
You have a good team but if you are thinking to upgrade something else more, you can try a new CAM (Rooney, for example), Willian as LM or Kompany to help the back four. For us, someone better than Cazorla should be your priority.
Regards
Hi rodrigo
I was wondering if this was a good team. I play 4-3-3
Gk. Begovic
Rb. Johnson
Cb. Shawcross
Cb. Terry
Lb. Gibbs
Cm. carrick
Cm arteta
Cam. Cavani
Rw lamela
Lw podolski
St negredo.
Do you know any other players that would be good additions to my team?
I have 5k
Do you know a good way to make coins
Sure. Just read our guides HERE and HERE.
Hi.
I think you may have problems with this team: both your CBs are very slow; Cavani probably have low individual chemistry.
We suggest to use only BPL players to ensure a good chemistry. Try Kaboul and Erikssen.
Regards
I have 100 chemistry
Having chemistry 100 is not the most important. You should pay attention to the individual chemistries.
Find more about it HERE.
Regards
I now have eriksen and kaboul. I also have 10k to improve my team. Who should I buy or save up for?
Fellaini and then Clichy.
I have Fellini and clichy is there any other players I should get to improve my team I have 13k
It will be better to post your new team again because I don’t know how it looks like now.
Regards
My team looks like this now:
Gk begovic
Rb Johnson
Cbs kaboul , terry
Lb clichy
Cms fellaini, arteta
Cam eriksen

Great team! We really like it.
Next buys (or you can think about it): Schurlle and Remy.

Cam-De bruyne
Cam-Dembele

If you could suggest any improvements I would be so grateful but i can’t afford anyone over 100k for changes for example mata and toure thanks Rodrigo! 🙂
Hi.
Your team is a mix of good cheap players with good more expensive players.
We will give you some suggestion without spending all your coins: Clichy (4k), Shurrle (10k), Nani (12k), Cazorla (11k) and Nasri (15k). With ‘only’ 50k coins you will get more quality on your team. More important: your team will be more balanced.
Regards
And also I am willing to spend up to 2k per player and my formation is 4-1-2-3.
Sorry, my mistake. There isn’t a 4-1-2-3 formation (sadly) therefore do you think you could also recommend a formation for this team? Thank you again.
We have a couple of positions wrong (?). Benteke and Lukaku can’t play as LF or Mirallas as LCM. We suggest 41212.
Hi Rodrigo,
I have read through many of your guides and find them very useful so thank you very much for your efforts. I am trying to create a cheap BPL team and have spent a while researching and have found a team I think is good but would appreciate your (more knowledgeable) insight.
GK: Begovic
RB: Johnson
CB: Diakite
CB: Sahko/Toure
LB: Gibbs/Enrique
CDM: Tiote
LCM: Mirallas
RCM: Dembele
LF: Kone/Bony
ST: Soldado
RF: Benteke/Lukaku
Thank you help much appreciated 🙂
Thank you for your words.
Yesterday I played against a team just like this one. It is a really good cheap team. Most of the players are in our third suggestion team. We prefer Remy as ST, but Benteke is a good player too.
Go ahead with this team !
Good luck
Hello Rodrigo,
I have a BPL team, it’s a 4-2-3-1(2) with GK- Begovic RB- Richards CB- Kaboul CB- David Luiz LB- Cole CDM- Ramires CDM- Fellaini RM-Mirallas LM- Young CAM- Eriksen ST- Benteke. If possible, could you give me some advice on how I could improve this team?
Your team is great, Daniel. With that budget you can not do much more. It is very balanced, with good cheap players, good work rates…
You will need much more coins to big improvements. Congratulations.
Oh okay, that’s good. But if I were to make an improvement somewhere, even if I had to save up for a while, who would you recommend the most given my team?
In our opinion Shurrle, Jovetic and Nani, for this order.
Hi Rodrigo,
I was wondering what would be the best Bpl team to make for 200k? (PS4)
I couldn’t decide which players would be the best so I thought I would ask an expert. Please could it be in either 4-2-3-1(2) or 4-1-2-1-2 depending which you think is stronger, thank you. Can I just say these guises are so helpful, even better than last years. Good choice about the comments, scrolling through them all just to see my reply was quite annoying 😉
Thank you.
And next year we will try to do it even better.
We think 41212 is better for a BPL based formation.
Our suggestion: Lloris, Micah, Kompany, Kaboul (or David Luiz for who can manage their work rates), Clichy, Fellaini, Navas, Willian, Cazorla, Jovetic and Eto’o.
Thank you 🙂 which would you recommend, a 300k Bpl, 300k bundesliga or 300k Liga BBVA? Ps4 4-1-2-1-2? Thanks 🙂
Hi.
I recommend the BPL. BBVA would be better but 41212 works better on BPL.
Hi could I have some advice on how to improve my team. I have about 350k available and really wish to add both Rooney and Suarez in that budget.
4-3-3 rotational
Gk Hart De Gea
Rb Zabaleta Johnson
Cb Lescott/terry Vidic/Ferdinand
Lb Cole Evra
Rcm Arteta Carrick
Cm Wilshere Gerrard
Lcm Cabaye Lampard
Rw Milner Walcott
St/cf Negredo Soldado
I would be willing to play other formations. Though I definitely must have Gerard remain in the squad. And vidic has never weakened my squad as I don’t conceive many with him on the field. Please reply soon
Hi.
I think Kompany would be a good addition. He is fast enough to compensate the Vidic slowness. It means that with the buy of Rooney and Suarez, you will get more 170k to spend. We think that Suarez is too expensive right now, due to his fantastic IRL performance, but it’s up to you. I don’t know who your LW are but you could try Navas as RW, Touré as CM and Mata as CM.
Regards
My RWs are podolski and young
You are OK.
Hey I hav a Bpl team with 4-4-2 formation I am wondering whether I need any changes or whether an other league would be better like la liga or Bundesliga.
GK: Hart/De Gea
RB: Zabaleta/Richards
CB: Terry/Vidic
CB: Ferdinand/Agger
LB: Cole/Evra
RM: Lamela/Milner/Valencia
CM: Gerrard/Lampard
CM: KAGAWA/Dembele
LM: Podolski
ST: Remy/Lukaku
ST: Ba/Negredo
Hi.
It depends of your play style, budget, etc…
If you don’t have more coins to invest, we think the team is well as it is right now.
The only thing you should pay attention are the CBs. They are too slow. In a 442 it can be too risky. In our opinion, you should try to buy one of these players: Kaboul, Koscielny or David Luiz.
Regards
After some alterations. I have changed my team and formation.
Firstly who do you think would be a fair player to come in at CDM I was thinking Ramires was a fair buy. Like to spend 10-20k
Secondly which striker would you recommend I would not want to be spending more than 30k.
Also I would like to know a centre back who could partner david luiz.
I am also not sure who could be a Left Midfield to get. Gonna save up for Willian but is their a player you reckoned to get before him
GK: Hart/De Gea
RB: Richards/Johnson
CB: Luiz/Koscielny
CB: Sakho/Agger
LB: Cole/Evra
CDM: Gerrard
CDM: Wilshere/Cabaye
RM: Valencia/Mirallis
LM: Sterling/Jarvis
CAM: Kagawa/Dembele
ST: Lukaku/Hernandez/Ba
Thanks Steve O
Hi.
Ramires will be OK, yes. If you feel he is not working because he is out of position many times and because he is to weak physically, try Fellaini.
Eto’o is your ST ! If you want someone cheaper, try Jovetic. But don’t expect to be as good as the Chelsea striker.
You need a partner with high defensive work rate or, ate least low or medium attacking work rate. We suggest Kaboul.
Schrulle is much cheaper than Willian but much better than the ones you have right now.
Regards
After some more improvements I have altered my team. Do you believe when I build team I should change formation to 4-1-2-1-2?
I am playing on getting
Cazorla
Vidic
Lloris
Rameries
Benteke/Jovetic
Willian
GK: De Gea/Migonlet
RB: Zabeleta/Johnson
CB: Luiz/Vertonghen
CB:Koscielny/Sakho
LB: Cole/Evra
RM: Walcott/Valencia
CM: Gerrard/Wilshere
CM: Dembele/Kagawa
LM: Young/Assaidi
ST: Torres/Ba
ST: Sturridge/Remy
Any other recommendations for my team would be nice and do you have any good ideas to get some extra coins without using real money. Thanks.
Hi.
Your formation should be chosen according to your play style and not by the players you have.
You have a decent team for your budget.
Click HERE to read our trading guide.

Hey,
First of all I wanted to say that you’ve got a very nice guide! I really enjoyed reading it and made me a lot wiser.
I’m currently playing 4-1-4-1. I like this playstyle because I feel like I’ve got good defending and still pretty good attacking!
Most games I got around 60% possession, and I use counter-attacks aswell as winger attacks as well as attacks through the center. I really use everything in the game.
My current team is:
Courtois
Walker – Vertonghen – Kompany – Glichy (vermaelen, alderweireld)
———–Witsel——–
Walcott – Naingolan – Dembele – Schürlle (Mirallas, Mertens)
———Benteke—– (Lukaky / Remy)
I started this team as a Belgian team, but evoluated to BPL more. Now it is a mix since a lot of Belgium players play in the BPL.
I really like this team and it works well for me, but I want to do some upgrades. I’m not sure which players to change. I’m afraid that for example, by changing Naingolan with a faster dribbler, I will lose some power or work rates.
Do you have any tips for this squad? My chem is 100, so the mix of Belgium/BPL isn’t a really big problem. Currently I got +- 30 000 coins, but also tips a little more expensive or a little cheaper are welcome!
Thanks in advance and a happy new year!
Hi.
Sorry for the delayed answer.
You say that chemistry is not a big problem because you already have 100. However, the big problem is not the squad chemistry. The big problem is the individual chemistry. If you change anything on the midfield, Witsel will get a lower individual chemistry and will play worse (see HERE about chemistry). That’s why I can not suggest many great improvements.
On the goal, for example, we think that Thibaut Courtois would be a good addition. The CMs are your weakest position. If you change them you will need to change Witsel too. You probably will keep with a better expensive team, but you will loose the beauty of your team. If you don’t want to go by this way, you may upgrade your RM. Navas (or Nani if you don’t want to spend too many coins) would be perfect.
Regards
Hi!
No problem for the delayed answer, I’m happy you’re here to help people.
Most of my players do have a chemistry of 10. Except naingolan. That’s why I didn’t know if I should change him first and later witsel or if Walcott was my first concern. Also for the striker I was wondering if you had any suggestions because benteke is a beast with his head, but I’ve got a feeling that there should be better options but I don’t know who. I guess that if I want to change someone, I’ll have to change a few players. That’s why I asked your help, I didn’t know if it was worth it since my budget is pretty limited
Hi.
You said it all “if I want to change someone, I’ll have to change a few players”. That’s the problem. You will need more coins and it will be very difficult to keep a Belgium – BPL hybrid. Our suggestion is to keep as you are right now. With a few changes only.
Forget our last comment about Courtois. We missed him on your comment. If you think that Benteke is not good enough you may try give a chance to Remy, that is on your bench. To us, he is better. If you want someone even better you will need to spend more coins. Stevan Jovetic is the next one. To make the other changes (Nani, etc) you will need to save more coins.
Regards
Hey again!
I made some improvements 🙂
My team now:
Courtois………..(mignolet)
Walker – Vertonghen – Kompany – Glichy…….(vermaelen)
———Fellaini———…..(Witsel)
Jesus Navas – Dembele – Naingolan – Schurrle
(substitutes: Walcott, De Bruyne, Mirallas, Mertens)
—–Benteke—– (Lukaku)
I’ve got 50k now, but I’m saving for more!
In the past, I tried Rémy but I don’t really like him. Also my team feels pretty balanced at the moment, so I think I should only change someone for a very good player.
Only I don’t know who to save for. Do you suggest Touré as the first improvement to make or one of the CM’s? The problem is that I’m afraid to change Naingolan or Dembele by a good CAM like David Silva or Juan Mata or Hazard as they both got +- 70 DEF and the more attacking midfielders don’t have this.
Do you think if I change one of them by a more attacking player, would that affect my team balance or should I go for it?
If I should go for it, who do you suggest to buy then? Budget doesn’t matter since every improvement will be expensive from now on 🙂
Thank you very much in advance!
Hi again.
On this new stage, I still think that you have 3 positions to improve: CDM, CAM and ST. In my opinion you should go for Eto’o. He is not so expensive and ten times better than your strikers.
Touré is a monster but you will nee to gather many coins.
Regards
For a 4-1-2-1-2 if you had to pick two strikers between aguero, RVP and eto, who would your top two choices be?
Or would you rather keep those two strikers and change fellaini for yaya toure at CDM?
I don’t know which two strikers are you talking about. Yaya is a must have.
That’s a easy one: Eto’o and Aguero. Just look to our unlimited budget team suggestion.
Hi Rodrigo
Nice guide but would like a bit of advice, I have two teams and I have 150K to spend on improving both teams and you advice/opinion would be much appreciated. Both formations are 4-1-2-1-2
Team 1
Jefferson
Walker, David Luiz, Thiago Silva, Marcelo
Paulinho
Valencia, Willian
Oscar
Welbeck, Sturridge
Team 2
LLoris
Johnson, Kompany, Kaboul, Clichy
Tiote
Mirallas, Young
Kagawa
Jovetic, Remy
I like a short quick tempo passing game where the RB/LB get forward too. also fast and good crossing LM&RM are a bonus as I often do send a cross in when the middle of the pitch is packed.
Many Thanks
Ok, let’s start by the first one. We suggest Diego Alves instead of Jefferson. He is a better goalkeeper and he will keep your chemistry high. The positions where you need to improve is the RM and the ST. We suggest Nani (or Navas if you got enough coins) and Eto’o.
On the second team, we think that Fellaini is better than Tiote. You also need an improvement on the wings. Navas and Schurrle (or Willian if you got enough coins) would be perfect. Kagawa is a decent player but you have a good budget and Cazorla would be a good buy.
Regards
Thank you for the reply, i agree need navas and diego alves would be a good addition due to his reflexes. i have previously played with eto and had to sell as scored one goal in 20 games and i thought he was to weak on the ball so i bought welbeck.. massive drop in class i know (and im a man u fan haha)
regarding the second team who would you recommend at lb as i do like Clichy’s but feel he is often out of position and a poor crosser, plus i was considering to get new CAM for both teams i do love Cazorla but who would you recommend from the BPL who is cheapish.
Many Thanks
Hi again.
Eto’o didn’t work to you because you are a United fan. That’s the only reason. 🙂
Ashley Cole is the best LB of the Barclays PL. He is more balanced than the other ones.
About CAM’s, if you want someone really cheap, you can try Eriksen. Nasri is the expensive choice and Oscar the middle term.
Regards
Hey Rodrigo, i have an squad that goes like this:
(4-3-3)
Lloris
Zabaleta
Vidic
Verthogen
Evra
Lucas Leiva
Wilshere
Paulinho
Podolski
Torres
Lamela
I have 44k left and i’m wondering if it’s worth buying ashley cole, willian (LW) and navas or nani (and wich one is better)
Can you help me? Thanks!
Hi!
Ashley Cole is a cheap player. So, it is a good buy.
Navas and Nani are both great players. Navas is better but if you don’t want to spend so much coins, Nani will be good enough for your team. The same happens with Willian and Shurrle. The Brazilian is better but the German player will be a big addition to your team.
Regards
Hi. Love the guide. I have a bpl team with cech,walker/zabaleta, vidic/david luiz,kompany, cole/baines, navas, mata, ozil, young, Rooney and Suarez. Can you advise me for any changes I might make. I’m using 442 formation I have 20k and I’m unsure about my fullbacks and wingers. Also, is mata and ozil worth the coins? Could I change my strikers for anyone else? Thanks
Hi.
Thank you for your words.
It depends of your play style but, in our opinion, your weakest position is LM. You should try Schurrle. He is much better than Young. Navas is untouchable. I can’t see any problem on your fullbacks. They are OK.
You should pay attention to your CB’s. For most of people, Vidic is too slow. Playing with David Luiz and Kompany together may be a bit risky due to their work rates. You may need a fourth CB as Kaboul or Koscielny.
It is not easy to say if Mata and Ozil worth the coins because we all see the coins in a different way. In our opinion, Mata is a great player. We don’t say exactly the same about Ozil.
About your ST, they are good player. If you want to change them, maybe you could place Rooney as CM, and buy Eto’o to replace him on the attack.
Regards
Hi Rodrigo, can you please help me to make some improvement in my squads. I have 2 squads 41212:
St: Eto St: Suarez
Lm: Schurrle Cam: Cazorla Rm: Walcott
Cdm: Gerrard
Lb: Clichy Cb: Kaboul Cb: Vertonghen Rb: Walker
Gk: Lloris
2 squad:
St: Sturridge St: Jovetić
Lm: Young Cam: Kagawa Rm: Navas
Cdm: Fellaini
Lb: Cole Cb: Luiz Cb: Vidić Rb: Richards
Gk: Cech
res: Benteke
How would you mix this 2 squads and wich position I need first to improve? I was thinking to sell Suarez and invest in Toure and Kompany…
Thank you in advance!
Best regards!
Hi.
On the first squad, your weakest position is CB, CDM, RM and CAM. Use Navas of the second squad as CAM and Fellaini as CDM until you got enough coins to buy Touré. You can also try to buy Kompany and Silva to the other two positions.
Regards
Thank you for your kind answer! 🙂
Tnx once again friend! I used your advice and I I see already some improvements on the pitch 😉
My squads now: Gk: Lorris, Lb: Clichy Cb: Kaboul&Kompany Rb: Walker
Cdm: Javi Garcia Lm: Willian Cam: Cazorla Rm: Navas St: Eto&Jovetić
2 squad: Gk: Cech, Lb: Baines Cb: Luiz&Koscielny Rb: Richards
Cdm: Fellaini Lm: Schurrle Cam: Kagawa Rm: Nani St: Benteke&Sturridge
Is this now good combination? 🙂 My next buy will be Toure, then Silva or Mata 😉
Great! Thank you for your feedback. It is really nice now. You will see how the things will be better when you buy Touré.
Regards
You are welcome! I made some changes last night and they work perfect, 7 victory in a row 😀 and I am scoring 4-6 goals per match 😀 I sold Navas, Sturridge, and Kagawa and bought Mata, Torres and Mirallas. I play St: Eto with Jovetic and Mata as Cam and it works great. Also St: Torres with Benteke and Cazorla as Cam going perfect. 😉
Best regards!
Great!
Awesome article! I opened a pack on Xmas eve and got ribbery! Ive sold him and taken your advice on the best bpl players. I’m struggling to find a formation and which players to start, now that I have such a deep roster. Can you help? Any suggestions would be great! I currently have these players.strikers: Aguero, Suarez, van persie, etoo. Midfield/wingers: navas, nani, hazard, willian, cazorla, silva, toure, ramires. Backfield: Cole,Clichy, vidic, kompany, kaboul, luiz, Cahill, Richards, walker. Goalkeeper: llores and cech.
What formation do you prefer with these players and who should I start? Thank you in advance for any advice.
i would go 4-1-2-1-2 because it is a very strong formation,
i would start cech with a defense of walker kompany david luiz and cole
midfield of toure, hazard, navas and suarez at cam and van persie and aguero at st
Hi.
You’re the one who took my pack ! 🙂
Congratulations. You are so lucky!
In our opinion, you should choose the formation according to your play style and not according your players. Anyway… we suggest the 41212.
Something like: Lloris, Kompany, Kaboul, Richards, Clichy, Touré, Navas, Hazard, Silva, Aguero and Etoo.
Happy Holidays!
hi, im currently using a 4-1-2-1-2
(gk) cech (lb) baines (lcb) luiz (rcb) kompany (rb) walker
(cdm) yaya toure (lm) schurrle (rm) navas (cam) mata
(st) van persie (st) suarez
but im thinking about getting aguero should i drop suarez down to cam and sell mata or keep mata and sell suarez? or drop van persie down to cam?
Hi.
You have one of the best BPL teams you can have. But you should pay attention to the work rates of your CBs. It is too dangerous to have Luiz and Kompany playing together. Take a look to that.
It depends of your play style, but I believe that most of the players should be fine with Mata as CAM, and Aguero / Suarez as ST. You can also try to drop RVP and buy David Silva to the place of Mata.
Regards
I’m currently rocking with a 4-1-2-1-2 (1) formation and my two Wing Mids are Willian And Navas. My striker is Negredo. Should i change my formation to 4-1-2-1-2 (2) and sell Navas & willian to get Santi Cazorla and Rooney or should i keep Willian & Navas.
Thanks!
If you like to play by the wings, keep with them. Both are great players. Navas is one of our favourites.
Hi,Happy Christmas.I have a BPL team and I play 4-1-2-1-2
Great guide, opinions and suggestions on my bpl team would be great and the best compo ST?
GK –Hart
RB – Richards (Johnson)
CB – Vidic – Koscielny (Kaboul,Vermaelen)
LB – Clichy (Gibbs)
CDM – Fellaini (Javi Garcia)
RM – Valencia (Lamela)
LM – Schurrle (Young,Jarvis)
CAM – Santi Cazorla (Fernandinho)
ST – Hernandez – Jovetic (Remy – Benteke)
Hi.
Thank you for your words.
We love your team. With your budget it is very hard to build a better one. At least, a BPL squad.
What should we say about it ? Vidic is very slow and should pay attention to him. We are not saying that you should not play with him. Just saying that he is not for everyone. Depends of your pay style.
The other players are all perfect.
Good luck and happy Xmas to you too.

Hi what do you think about my team , I’m using a 4-1-2-1-2
gk:lloris
lb:clichy
rb:richards
CB:David luiz
CB:kaboul
cdm:Ramires
lm:podolski
rm:lennon
cam:kagawa
st: eto/welbeck
st:remy/Hernandez
I buy packs once in a while but the other I got van persie in one and I sold him due to his lack of speed and that’s how I built my team up . I’m thinking of getting Nani as RM and but I don’t know who to get as a new LM I have 66k left . I need improvements , help please.
Hi.
You have a nice team.
Nani as RM will be awesome ! To play as LM we suggest Schrulle (Willian is better but a bit more expensive). It means that you will get 35k to 40k left to buy Nasri and Jovetic, our two other suggestions.
Regards
Please suggest me a 50k budget team . I prefer 4-3-3(4) formation . I dont need bench squad cause i already have a bbva squad .
Merry christmas 🙂
Hi.
You can try something like Hart, Micah, Koscielny, Kaboul, Clichy, Cazorla, Ramires, Eriksen, Valencia, Schurrle and Remy.
Hello and Merry Christmas.
That’s my BPL team, I play with 4-1-2-1-2:
GK – LLoris (Begovic)
RB – Richards (Johnson)
CB – Kaboul – Koscielny (Verthongen – Vermaelen)
LB – Baines (Gibbs)
CDM – Ramires (Tioté)
RM – Valencia (Mirallas)
LM – Schurrle (Jarvis)
CAM – Santi Cazorla (Fernandinho)
ST – Hernandez – Torres (Remy – Negredo)
What would be, in your opinion, the first improvements I can do? I was planning to buy Eto’o, since I don’t like Torres very much. But any other suggestion would be welcome.
Thank you very much!
Hi!
With that budget it is very difficult to build a better team. Ok, we don’t like Torres either. If you have enough coins to buy Etoo, go ahead. He is really amazing.
The next step should be Nani, Jovetic and, when you get more coins, Kompany.
Merry Christmas to you too.
Regards
Hey im running a 4-1-2-1-2 formation at the moment and I have a 30k budget this is my team, I only started recently, which player/players should I buy next?

LB-cissokho/taylor(from pack)

CAM-Eriksen/De bruyne/Gaston Ramirez
ST-Hernandez/defoe/Kone.A
Hi. Nice to meet you.
If you pay attention, your team is very similar to the one we have suggested.
Since they are cheap, we think you should start to improve your defence. Ashley Cole and Koscielny would be great improvements. In the other hand, you can also try to buy Remy as your second striker. Valencia, Cazorla and Nani are other good signings a bit more expensive.
Regards
Thankyou for your suggestions, I have added Cole and Koscielny to my defence. Is Eto’o much better than Remy? I have enough coins to buy either Eto’o alone or to improve what I think are my weakest positions with Schurrle, Cazorla and Ramires . In which case I would buy Remy as a cheap second striker. Which would you suggest?
Usually I say to improve the higher number of positions possible. But in this case the decision is yours. Only you may know where you are feeling more difficulties.
Maybe you should focus on those 3 positions and then save more coins to buy Etoo. Yes, he is much better than Remy.
Regards
Thanks again for the help. I think I will focus on the other positions since my strikers at the moment are scoring enough goals and save for Eto’o later like you suggested.
heyy great guide, opinions and suggestions on my bpl team would be great

Hi.
As you know our suggestions depends of your budget, formation, play style, etc…
In our opinion, you should improve your ST’s and probably one of your CB’s. Jovetic and Kaboul would be great.
Regards
Hey thanks for the help I’ve added jovetic to my strike force and I’m going to buy another cb …any ideas of who to replace as the cb and which one of my stickers should be replaced by jovetic and any other improvements I could make thankyou
Lescott and Soldado (unless you cross a lot to the head).
Since the CBs are now very cheap you could also try Koscielny on Kolo Touré place.
Regards
Hi, I have a BPL team and I was wondering who I should go after next.

I routinely swap in my backups to save fitness. I do not have that big a budget, but any suggestions for upgrades are welcome. Thanks and Happy Holidays
Hi Kevin.
We know that you don’t have a fat budget but with some more coins you could make big improvements.
We suggest you Koscielny and Remy. You will need just 2.5k coins.
Happy Holidays to you too.
Regards
Hello,
So is the 20K budget squad been tested? If so, is it good for its value?
Because I am building the same type of build right now.
Also, to build up the squad, which players should I use to upgrade the team once I earn more coins?
Thanks
Sure, it was tested and it worked very well.
Very cheap Upgrades: Kaboul by Gary Cahill; Christian Eriksen by Coutinho; Remy by Javier Hernandez.
Ok I have my team and want to know where I should improve and whether I should keep or sell in form aguero. Practically an unlimited budget as well
4-1-2-1-2
GK- Cech
RB- Zabaleta
CBS- David Luis and Sakho
LB- Cole
CDM- touré
RM- Willian
LM- Nani
CAM- Rooney
STs- In form Lukaku and in form Aguero
Thanks
Hi.
Your defence is OK (their work rates are great!).
Willian and Nani are great players but, for most of players, Hazard and Navas are better. Rooney is a wonderful player but David Silva is also one of our favourites.
Very nice team!
If you have almost an unlimited budget, you should keep with them.
One thought I had was playing a 4-3-3 with two CAMS and a CM, then I could play Rooney with silva and touré back, and then Aguero lone striker backed up by the two wingers navas and hazard. Let me know what you think if that
Perfect!
Ohh and my CAM are – arteta/Kevin DeBruyne
Hey rodrigo can you tell me if my team is any good and which players should i sell or buy. I am running a 4-1-2-1-2
Gk-Adler
CB-kaboul/Cahill/chriches/koscielny
Rb-Johnson/debuchy
Lb-Gibbs /cole
CDM-carrick/mikel
LM-Pineaar/podolski
RM-mirallas/Ben afra
ST-sturridge-lukaku-benteke-soldado-negredo
Please tell me what players I can buy that fits my formation. I play really offense but I get caught some times on counter attack
Hi.
You have good player for a low-budget team. However, we suggest you Begovic (why Adler ?) and Fellaini to improve your squad.
Kaboul, Koscielny, Johnson, Cole, Podolski, Mirallas, Sturridge and Lukaku should be on your starting eleven.
Regards
I picked him because he is a good goalkeeper and he was cheap. I still got 100 chemistry
A great player I have is if lukaku. He is a god with his great strength, pace and heading, and his shooting isn’t bad with the inform card. Pair him up with a better finisher, such as Rooney, RVP, Suarez etc and your strike forge will be insane. At least it is for me. Just a thought I felt you didn’t give him much credit tho
Hi.
Don’t forget that in this guide we have not analyzed IF cards !
Happy Holidays.
Also (i know this all should’ve been 1 comment) i saw the liga bbva guide is out in English and bundesliga is out in Portuguese. When will bundesliga be out in english?
We are writing the Bundesliga Guide right now. It will be available in one or two weeks.
Regards
(Note for last comment: if not a hybrid then i would like fc bayern and borussia dortmund players and im considering 4-3-2-1 formation with lm and rm as lf and rf)
Hey Rodrigo. I am currently playing with a Bundesliga team but made the mistake of looking at only ratings. I also chose all German players to get the achievements and have stuck with that (dont like seeing orange lines anymore ^_^). I’m changing to just one league or even a hybrid with bbva or BPL. I am on a 3-5-2 formation with these players:
GK: Wiedenfeller
CB: Boateng
LCB: Badstuber
RCB: Howëdes
RCDM: Rolfes
LCDM: Bender
LM: Caliguiri (going to get Reus or Ribery)
RM: Castro (will get Müller or Robben)
CAM: Hunt (saving for Götze)
LST: Kießling (saving for Mandzukic)
RST: Kroos (position changed to ST)
As you can see i have a team that is too slow and i haven’t saved many coins. Im on a low budget but I’m trying to expand it. Suggestions?
Hi.
First thing: forget Ribery and Robben. You will need to work a lot to get them. They are great players but you can build a cheaper high quality team.
Here are the players you should look with attention. They are not expensive and they will improve your weakest positions: Felipe Santana, Luiz Gustavo, Diego, Ivan Perišic and Farfán. As you can see, you don’t need many coins to start building a good team.
Thanks a lot Rodrigo
Question: do i replace Howëdes or Boateng with Felipe Santana? I already have him, Farfan, Perišic, and soon Luiz Guztavo and Diego are coming soon (why not Götze instead of Diego?). Also, what is my next step after them? Thank you so much for all your help and also in advance for help to come.
Replace Howëdes with Felipe Santana. Gotze would be great. We did not suggest you because he is much more expensive.
The next step is to play and see where do you feel you need a new improvement.
Regards
Ok thanks again for all your help. I did choose to switch to 4-3-2-1 formation because i play by the wings a lot and Farfan is perfect, Perišic is well balanced too. My lb and rb are Trasch and Schafer because i earned them in packs but i will get Alaba and piczcek (i know i mispelled it) soon. I think aubameyang will be next.
Hi again who do you think i should get rid of for jovetic
Hernandez or soldado
definitely jovetic
It depends of you play style but probably Soldado.
I have a hybrid and 10k what should I improve (4-1-2-1-2) I made it
Lukaku – Diego Costa
Oscar
Schürrle – Lucas
Paulinho
Cole – Cahill – D. Luiz – D. Álvez
Čech
And when is another league guide coming like bbva
BBVA Guide will be released in 3 hours. And the next one will be Bundesliga guide in the early January.
Hi.
Our suggestions: Fellaini and Remy.
Good games !
Hi again Rodrigo!
Thanks to you, i levelled up at last. Now my team is:
Lloris (Mignolet)
Johnson (Richards)
Evra (Baines)
David Luiz- Sakho (Koscielny-Kaboul)
Ramires (Sandro)
Cazorla (Cabaye)
Mirallas (Ben Arfa)
Jarvis
Remy- Chicharito (Ba)
I want to transfer Schürlle and Suarez/Rooney/Etoo (one of them). Now i have 7 Frenchman in the squad. I think t maybe i would transfer Clichy, Sagna, N’Zonzi, Konko, Biabiny. What do you think? Should i switch my ongoing squad?
HI.
Nice squad.
Schurlle would be a great great improvement since Jarvis is your weakest player.
For us, Etoo is good enough. And cheaper too. Clichy sould stay. He is great.
Hey Rodrigo,
What is your BEST team given the following:
Any budget,
No In Forms, and
Including Legend Cards.
And this is all players not just BPL.
Thanks,
G.
Hi Giles.
Sorry but right now we don’t have time to answer to that question. It would take us half hour at least.
Maybe in a future article.
Regards
Thiago Silva and David Luiz is the best hybrid.
LS- Eto’o RS-Jovetic
CAM- Oscar
LM-schurrle RM-Nani
CDM-Ramires
LB-Clichy LCB- Ferdinand RCB- Kaboul RB- Richards
GK- Lloris
Im using a 4-1-2-1-2 any suggestions would be great!!!
Hi.
You have a nice team. With your budget it is difficult to improve it much more. Maybe you may take a look into Santi Cazorla.
Regards
Thanks, I was looking at nasri. Do you think cazorla is a better option? Is there anything specifically I need to improve?
CAM is your weakest position. Nasri should be fine too. He is very similar with Cazorla. Better on attacking but worse at defending.
Regards
Hi rodrigo!
Excellent article! Helped me a lot!
I have this team
De gea
Richards Verthogen Vermaelen Glichy
Fernandinho Paulinho
Ericksen Rooney cazorla
Eto’o
Subs:
Begovic
G.Johnson
Agger
Sakho
Gibbs
Gerrard
Kagawa
Kevin De Brunye
Coutinho
Remy
Benteke
Should I play Ericksen Kagawa or Coutinho aside of rooney and cazorla
Also, where should my next improvement should be.
Thanks
Thank you.
First of all, pay attention to the work rates of your CB’s. Both have high/medium. You need to fix it. Koscielny or even Kaboul are good choices to trade with one of them.
We prefer Ericksen to play aside of Rooney.
Your CDM’s are the weakest players of your team. We think that Fellaini could be a nice improvement.
Regards
What should I improve?
GK De Gea
RB Walker CB Vertonghen CB David Luiz LB Baines
CDM Paulinho
RM Nani LM Schürrle
CAM Santi Cazorla
ST Sturridge ST Eto’o
I was thinking Jovetic instead of Sturridge. Should I make a hybrid team instead?
Hi.
First of all, pay attention to the work rates of your CBs. They are both high/medium. Maybe you should try another player instead of Vertonghen. Kaboul, for example, would be OK.
About your striker, Jovetic is a better option for most of the gamers. It is not easy to build a hybrid with the team you have right now.
Regards
Hi Rodrigo, currently I’m playing with a 4-2-3-1 formation.
My team line up is the following:
Cech
Sagna Vermealen Terry Cole
Arteta Carrick
Lennon Cazorla Young
Soldado
I do not have many good substitute players, but that’s not so important.
I would like to know if you have any suggestions to improve my team. My budget is limited but that’s not important. I can save money by playing a lot of matches. Now I got 20K, I’m saving money to buy Navas. Which other recommendation can you give me? What players do you think would suit the best on my team? You can either give me budget option to up to 40K worth players
Hi. Nice to meet you.
You have a nice balanced team.
In our view, the next improvements should be your wingers, a good CDM and a better ST. We suggest you Fellaini, Navas, André Schürrle and Remy. You will need a few more coins but you can get it for sure.
Regards
