Introduction to the FUT 15 Bundesliga Guide

 

Building a team is the biggest challenge on FIFA 15 Ultimate Team. It doesn’t need to be the best team, because your budget may not allow it, but it is player’s stature that helps him 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 15. It’s precisely this aspect that this guide focuses on. For each position, and focusing on the truly important attributes, we’ll show you who are the best athletes to choose.

It’s also important that you check to see if the player you choose fits the formations you like to play in. For example, a good full back will be useless if you only use a formation with three defenders. According to these formations, you must be cautious and look at the work rate. Try 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 will 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 to gather players of the same nationality, while others decide to form a team of players from the same league. The most popular is the Barclays Premier League. There are also more experienced players that can form hybrid squads without damaging team chemistry a lot.

All of these steps are necessary to have; or it could mean that the team is not always well built as it could be. This article aims to help those that want to form a FIFA 15 Ultimate Team based on players from the Bundesliga. Even the players that have a Bundesliga team, could take out some valuable conclusions from this guide that could help them make their team even better.

We received thousands of comments about similar guides that we have published in previous years. Most of them have 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 combinations are almost infinite. Besides, there are various factors that influence the choices, like 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 15 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 the criteria we chose and should be of everyone’s knowledge:

Only Gold Players

In this guide we didn’t consider silver or bronze players. 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.

Only Regular Players

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.

Only Normal Players

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 Bundesliga and with their original attributes were considered.

Only Original Attributes

In this guide we didn’t consider changes made on a players performance such happens when applying training or chemistry styles cards.

Position analysis

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).

Prices at the date of publication of the guide

In the chapter where FIFA 15 Ultimate Team Bundesiga teams are suggested, the prices considered are the ones of the date of the guide’s publication: December 2014. It’s natural that the prices have suffered some peaks and troughs throughout the season, so they should only be considered as guiding prices.

 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 

Bundesliga

 

The Bundesliga lives in the shadow of Barclays PL and BBVA but the truth is that it has many quality players.

The qualification of the champion 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 fifth and sixth qualify to the Europa League and the last three trade places with the first two qualified of the 2. Bundesliga and with the play-off winner. Every season starts in August and finishes in May, having 34 game weeks with nine matches each, being a total of 306 matches per season.

The Bundesliga is the most watched sports league in the world and the third best league classified in the UEFA league coefficients.

Started in 1962, the Bundesliga has been conquered by twelve clubs. The dominant club is Bayern Munich, with a total of 23 titles. Borussia Dortmund (5), Borussia Mönchengladbach (5), Werder Bremen (4), Hamburger SV (3), VfB Stuttgart (3), FC Köln (2) and FC Kaiserslautern (2) were the other teams that won more than once.

As to last season, the Bundesliga lost some good players such as Andres Guardado (Bayer 04 – Valencia), Toni Kroos (FC Bayern – Real Madrid), Mario Mandzukic (FC Bayern – Atlético de Madrid) e Marc-André ter Stegen (Bor. M’ Gladbach – Barcelona).

These transfers didn’t necessarily make the Bundesliga weaker. The Germans teams spent millions of Euros on strong reinforcements: Xabi Alonso (Real Madrid – FC Bayern), Shinji Kagawa (Manchester United – Borussia Dortmund), Ciro Immobile (Torino – Borussia Dortmund) and Valon Behrami (Napoli – Hamburger SV). But the biggest signings of the season happened in Munich. Mehdi Benatia came from Rome to join to Bundesligaby 25 million Euros.

The choices are a lot for which our guide will certainly be useful as to building a team with players from this league. Bundesliga is a good choice to who is looking for quality players, but doesn’t want to spend so much coins as happens in BPL and BBVA based squads.

FUT 15 Bundesliga Goalkeepers (GK)

 

Goalkeepers are the players that are used least on the field. Because of this they are also first ignored 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. They are a good investment because they are normally the most economically accessible players.

Manuel Neuer is the most popular one. He is finalist to the Golden Ball 2014, World Champion, Bundesliga Champion, German Cup Winner and the favourite goalkeeper in FIFA 15 Ultimate Team. That’s why he is so expensive. Roman Weidenfeller, René Adler and the young Bernd Leno are also popular.

 

MOST HIGH-RATED GOALKEEPERS
Manuel Neuer	90	FC Bayern	Germany
Roman Weidenfeller	83	Borussia Dortmund	Germany
Bernd Leno	82	Bayer 04	Germany
René Adler	82	Hamburger SV	Germany
José Reina	81	FC Bayern	Spain
Kevin Trapp	80	Eint. Frankfurt	Germany
Diego Benaglio	80	VfL Wolfsburg	Switzerland
Yann Sommer	79	Bor. M’ Gladbach	Switzerland
Sven Ulreich	79	VfB Stuttgart	Germany
Ron-Robert Zieler	79	Hannover 96	Germany

 

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 Manuel Neuer.

 

GOALKEEPERS WITH BEST REFLEXES
Manuel Neuer	86	FC Bayern	Germany
René Adler	85	Hamburger SV	Germany
Yann Sommer	85	Bor. M’ Gladbach	Switzerland
Kevin Trapp	84	Eint. Frankfurt	Germany
Sven Ulreich	84	VfB Stuttgart	Germany
Thomas Kraft	84	Hertha BSC	Germany
Bernd Leno	83	Bayer 04	Germany
Ralf Fährmann	83	FC Schalke 04	Germany
José Reina	83	FC Bayern	Spain
Diego Benaglio	83	VfL Wolfsburg	Switzerland

 

Diving is a fundamental attribute when choosing a goalkeeper. It measures the capacity for a goalkeeper to make a save when jumping.

Manuel Neuer is also the best one with this attribute.

 

GOALKEEPER WITH BEST DIVING
Manuel Neuer	87	FC Bayern	Germany
René Adler	85	Hamburger SV	Germany
Diego Benaglio	84	VfL Wolfsburg	Switzerland
Yann Sommer	83	Bor. M’ Gladbach	Switzerland
Bernd Leno	82	Bayer 04	Germany
Roman Weidenfeller	82	Borussia Dortmund	Germany
Kevin Trapp	81	Eint. Frankfurt	Germany
José Reina	81	FC Bayern	Spain
Sven Ulreich	81	VfB Stuttgart	Germany
Ron-Robert Zieler	81	Hannover 96	Germany

 

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.

Ralf Fährmann is the tallest one. He is taller than other more popular goalkeepers like Manuel Neuer and René Adler.

 

TALLEST GOALKEEPERS
Ralf Fährmann	196	FC Schalke 04	Germany
Diego Benaglio	194	VfL Wolfsburg	Switzerland
Tom Starke	194	FC Bayern	Germany
Manuel Neuer	193	FC Bayern	Germany
Sven Ulreich	192	VfB Stuttgart	Germany
Jaroslav Drobný	192	Hamburger SV	Czech Republic
René Adler	191	Hamburger SV	Germany
Bernd Leno	190	Bayer 04	Germany
Kevin Trapp	189	Eint. Frankfurt	Germany
Roman Weidenfeller	188	Borussia Dortmund	Germany

 

The choice for the best Bundesliga goalkeeper on FIFA 15 Ultimate Team is really easy.

Besides being the best in the two most important attributes, Manuel Neuer is also the goalkeeper with better positioning and kicking. Only two Legends are better than him.

For us, René Adler is the number two because he have good stats in reflexes and diving. Diego Benaglio is tall enough and has balanced stats to be our economic choice.

 
 

Best FUT 15 Bundesliga Goalkeepers

 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

FUT 15 Bundesliga Centre Backs (CB)

 

A goalkeepers task is made easier if in front of him are quality centre backs. Their function is to stop the opponent from getting dangerously close to your team’s goal.

Jérôme Boateng, Javi Martinez, Mehdi Benatia, Mats Hummels and Sokratis are the centre backs with the best reputation in the Bundesliga.

 

HIGHEST RATED CENTRE BACKS
Mats Hummels	86	Borussia Dortmund	Germany
Jérôme Boateng	85	FC Bayern	Germany
Javi Martinez	85	FC Bayern	Spain
Mehdi Benatia	84	FC Bayern	Morocco
Sokratis	82	Borussia Dortmund	Greece
Dante	82	FC Bayern	Brazil
Neven Subótic	82	Borussia Dortmund	Serbia
Benedikt Höwedes	82	FC Schalke 04	Germany
Holger Badstuber	80	FC Bayern	Germany
Naldo	80	VfL Wolfsburg	Brazil
Ömer Toprak	79	Bayer 04	Turkey
Kyriakos Papadopoulos	78	Bayer 04	Greece
Martin Stranzl	78	Bor. M’ Gladbach	Austria
Emir Spahić	78	Bayer 04	Bosnia
Carlos Zambrano	77	Eint. Frankfurt	Peru

 

With a centre back, two attributes assume particular importance on their performance: defending and the new attribute physical, which represents strength, stamina, aggression and jumping.

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 Benatia and Hummels. Only Thiago Silva is better than them.

 

CENTRE BACKS WITH BEST DEFENDING
Mehdi Benatia	88	FC Bayern	Morocco
Mats Hummels	88	Borussia Dortmund	Germany
Sokratis	84	Borussia Dortmund	Greece
Javi Martinez	84	FC Bayern	Spain
Jérôme Boateng	83	FC Bayern	Germany
Dante	83	FC Bayern	Brazil
Neven Subótic	83	Borussia Dortmund	Serbia
Benedikt Höwedes	83	FC Schalke 04	Germany
Naldo	82	VfL Wolfsburg	Brazil
Ömer Toprak	81	Bayer 04	Turkey
Martin Stranzl	81	Bor. M’ Gladbach	Austria
Holger Badstuber	80	FC Bayern	Germany
Joel Matip	80	FC Schalke 04	Cameroon
Matthias Ginter	80	Borussia Dortmund	Germany
Emir Spahić	79	Bayer 04	Bosnia

 

The new physical attribute shows the old heading capability but also how likely the players are to win game with their body. This is a crucial attribute when looking for the best centre back.

In this chapter Javi Martinez, that now is a centre back, is the strongest one.

 

CENTRE BACKS WITH BEST PHYSICAL
Javi Martinez	85	FC Bayern	Spain
Mehdi Benatia	84	FC Bayern	Morocco
Kyriakos Papadopoulos	84	Bayer 04	Greece
Jérôme Boateng	82	FC Bayern	Germany
Sokratis	82	Borussia Dortmund	Greece
Carlos Zambrano	80	Eint. Frankfurt	Peru
Neven Subótic	79	Borussia Dortmund	Serbia
Sebastian Prödl	79	Werder Bremen	Austria
Nikolče Noveski	79	1. FSV Mainz 05	Macedonia
Mats Hummels	78	Borussia Dortmund	Germany
Benedikt Höwedes	78	FC Schalke 04	Germany
David Abraham	78	1899 Hoffenheim	Argentina
Martin Stranzl	78	Bor. M’ Gladbach	Austria
Heiko Westermann	78	Hamburger SV	Germany
Philipp Wollscheid	78	1. FSV Mainz 05	Germany

 

Defending and heading may be useless against fast opponents. It’s necessary to fight fire with fire. No one 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.

Felipe Santana is the fastest in Bundesliga.

 

CENTRE BACKS WITH BEST PACE
Felipe Santana	80	FC Schalke 04	Brazil
Sokratis	78	Borussia Dortmund	Greece
Jérôme Boateng	77	FC Bayern	Germany
Ömer Toprak	77	Bayer 04	Turkey
Mehdi Benatia	75	FC Bayern	Morocco
Joel Matip	74	FC Schalke 04	Cameroon
Carlos Zambrano	73	Eint. Frankfurt	Peru
Bamba Anderson	73	Eint. Frankfurt	Brazil
David Abraham	73	1899 Hoffenheim	Argentina
Daniel Schwaab	73	VfB Stuttgart	Germany
Naldo	72	VfL Wolfsburg	Brazil
Tony Jantschke	72	Bor. M’ Gladbach	Germany
Neven Subótic	71	Borussia Dortmund	Serbia
Fabian	69	Hertha BSC	Switzerland
Robin Knoche	68	VfL Wolfsburg	Germany

 

The centre back choice for your defensive system shouldn’t be thought out only according to the attributes highlighted above. Your formation is more than relevant, because if you choose to play with three centre backs it’s recommended that you have at least two with reasonable pace. In case you choose the ordinary two centre backs plus one right and one left back, the team composition mind changes.

Our choice is Mehdi Benatia, because he is fast, has the best defending and good physical. Our second choice is Jérôme Boateng thans to his balanced stats. Hummels is also a great player but he is much slower than these players. Sokaris is our economic choice. He is fast, cheap and has good stats.

 
 

Best FUT 15 Bundesliga Centre Backs

 
 

 
 
 
 
 

FUT 15 Bundesliga Right Backs (RB and RWB)

 

Full backs have the role of troubling the job of wingers. In addition, good full backs also support their team mates on offensive manoeuvres.

Piszczek is the most popular right back playing in Bundesliga.

 

HIGHEST RATED RIGHT BACKS
Łukasz Piszczek	82	Borussia Dortmund	Poland
Kevin Großkreutz	77	Borussia Dortmund	Germany
Sebastian Jung	77	VfL Wolfsburg	Germany
Rafinha	77	FC Bayern	Brazil
Christian Träsch	76	VfL Wolfsburg	Germany
Peter Pekarík	75	Hertha BSC	Slovakia
Patrick Ochs	75	VfL Wolfsburg	Germany
Sascha Riether	75	SC Freiburg	Germany

 

Capacidade defensiva e velocidade são os atributos consideráveis para esses jogadores. Łukasz Piszczek é ímpar nesse aspecto.

There are very important attributes for any right back: defending and pace.

Since they’re defenders they should have good defending capacities. This reduces a team’s risk of conceding.

In Bundesliga, no one can be compared to Łukasz Piszczek.

 

RIGHT BACKS WITH BEST DEFENDING
Łukasz Piszczek	80	Borussia Dortmund	Poland
Peter Pekarík	76	Hertha BSC	Slovakia
Sebastian Jung	75	VfL Wolfsburg	Germany
Rafinha	75	FC Bayern	Brazil
Kevin Großkreutz	74	Borussia Dortmund	Germany
Christian Träsch	74	VfL Wolfsburg	Germany
Sascha Riether	74	SC Freiburg	Germany
Patrick Ochs	73	VfL Wolfsburg	Germany

 

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.

Łukasz Piszczek is again the best one but Kevin Großkreutz is also good.

 

RIGHT BACKS WITH BEST PACE
Łukasz Piszczek	81	Borussia Dortmund	Poland
Kevin Großkreutz	80	Borussia Dortmund	Germany
Sebastian Jung	78	VfL Wolfsburg	Germany
Patrick Ochs	77	VfL Wolfsburg	Germany
Sascha Riether	76	SC Freiburg	Germany
Peter Pekarík	75	Hertha BSC	Slovakia
Christian Träsch	72	VfL Wolfsburg	Germany
Rafinha	72	FC Bayern	Brazil

 

Łukasz Piszczek is the obvious choice for this position. If you don’t have enough coins to buy him, try Kevin Großkreutz. Sebastian Jung is also a decent player with a great price.

 
 

Best FUT 15 Bundesliga Right Backs

 
 

 
 
 
 
 

Best FUT 15 Bundesliga Left Backs (LB e LWB)

 

Left backs have exactly the same role of their team mates on the other flank. In other words, they try to make a winger’s job hard and participate in the team’s offensive manoeuvres.

David Alaba is the big name for this position. Ricardo Rodriguez and Marcel Schmelzer are also used by many Ultimate Team fans.

 

HIGHEST RATED LEFT BACKS
David Alaba	82	FC Bayern	Austria
Ricardo Rodriguez	80	VfL Wolfsburg	Switzerland
Marcel Schmelzer	78	Borussia Dortmund	Germany
Marcell Jansen	77	Hamburger SV	Germany
Dennis Aogo	76	FC Schalke 04	Germany
Oscar Wendt	75	Bor. M’ Gladbach	Sweden
Marcel Schäfer	75	VfL Wolfsburg	Germany
Bastian Oczipka	75	Eint. Frankfurt	Germany

 

The Bundesliga left backs defend equally well.

 

LEFT BACKS WITH BEST DEFENDING
David Alaba	79	FC Bayern	Austria
Ricardo Rodriguez	79	VfL Wolfsburg	Switzerland
Marcel Schmelzer	79	Borussia Dortmund	Germany
Marcell Jansen	75	Hamburger SV	Germany
Dennis Aogo	74	FC Schalke 04	Germany
Marcel Schäfer	74	VfL Wolfsburg	Germany
Oscar Wendt	73	Bor. M’ Gladbach	Sweden
Bastian Oczipka	73	Eint. Frankfurt	Germany

 

David Alaba is much faster than the other left backs from Bundesliga. Marcell Jansen is the only that can be compared with Munich’s defender.

 

LEFT BACKS WITH BEST PACE
David Alaba	86	FC Bayern	Austria
Marcell Jansen	80	Hamburger SV	Germany
Marcel Schmelzer	77	Borussia Dortmund	Germany
Dennis Aogo	77	FC Schalke 04	Germany
Ricardo Rodriguez	76	VfL Wolfsburg	Switzerland
Oscar Wendt	75	Bor. M’ Gladbach	Sweden
Bastian Oczipka	71	Eint. Frankfurt	Germany
Marcel Schäfer	70	VfL Wolfsburg	Germany

 

David Alaba is, in our opinion, the best left back playing in Bundesliga. He is one of the best left backs of FIFA 15, and that’s why he is widely used in hybrids squads. Our second choice is Marcell Jansen and Marcel Schmelzer is our economic choice.

Best FUT 15 Bundesliga Central Defensive Midfielder (CDM)

 

The players of this position have the responsibility of being the first ones to prevent the opponent from making it to the attack. For some people, though, modern football requires players that will both attack and defend with quality.

Philipp Lahm is the biggest new in this position, now that he has changed from RB to CDM. Xabi Alonso is also a new CDM of this league, joining to other popular players like Luiz Gustavo, Sven Bender and Valon Behrami.

 

HIGHEST RATED CENTRAL DEFENSIVE MIDFIELDERS
Philipp Lahm	87	FC Bayern	Germany
Xabi Alonso	84	FC Bayern	Spain

Pirmin Schwegler	77	1899 Hoffenheim	Switzerland
Johannes Geis	76	1. FSV Mainz 05	Germany
Marco Höger	76	FC Schalke 04	Germany
Roman Neustädter	76	FC Schalke 04	Germany

 

In order for them to become your first defense line, the defending midfielders require excellent defending capacity.

Philipp Lahm has better defending stats than many centre backs, but Sven Bender, Luiz Gustavo and Stefan Reinartz are also good.

 

CENTRAL DEFENSIVE MIDFIELDERS WITH BEST DEFENDING
Philipp Lahm	87	FC Bayern	Germany
Sven Bender	84	Borussia Dortmund	Germany
Luiz Gustavo	83	VfL Wolfsburg	Brazil

Xabi Alonso	78	FC Bayern	Spain

Sebastian Rode	75	FC Bayern	Germany
Marco Höger	75	FC Schalke 04	Germany
Hajime Hosogai	75	Hertha BSC	Japan
Leon Andreasen	75	Hannover 96	Denmark
Julian	74	1.FSV Mainz 05	Austria

 

The area of the field occupied by the central defensive midfielders is the one where most ball disputes happen. Strong players will have a higher probability of winning the ball.

Stefan Reinartz is the best on this side. Philipp Lahm, however, is quite the disappointment. He is the worst between all gold players.

Stefan Reinartz	85	Bayer 04	Germany
Luiz Gustavo	82	VfL Wolfsburg	Brazil

Sebastian Kehl	76	Borussia Dortmund	Germany
Sebastian Rode	75	FC Bayern	Germany
Roman Neustädter	75	FC Schalke 04	Germany
Simon Rolfes	75	Bayer 04	Germany

 

Sven Bender is our choice for this position. He isn’t the best in any of the most important stats, but he has a great balance between them. His stamina is really amazing and his interception, marking and tackling make the difference. The alternative is Luiz Gustavo but Valon Behrami is also good if you don’t have many coins.

Best FUT 15 Bundesliga Centre Midfielders (CM e CAM)

 

A lot of games are decided in 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.

There is much quality in the Bundesliga midfield. Some of the world’s best footballers play there. That’s the case of Bastian Schweinsteiger, Mario Götze and İlkay Gündoğan.

Gonzalo Castro	80	Bayer 04	Germany
Aaron Hunt	78	VfL Wolfsburg	Germany
Christian Gentner	78	VfB Stuttgart	Germany

 

Centre midfielders are responsible for discovering lines that break the opponents defence. Their passing quality has to be really good so they can assist forwards.

Bastian Schweinsteiger has the best passing stat of Bundesliga.

Kevin-Prince Boateng	81	FC Schalke 04	Ghana
Gonzalo Castro	81	Bayer 04	Germany
Rafael van der Vaart	80	Hamburger SV	Netherlands

 

Bastian Schweinsteiger is undoubtedly the best player for this position. He can also play as CDM with great success. He isn’t fast but has other great attributes, including vision, reaction, ball control and passing. Mario Götze is better as CAM while İlkay Gündoğan plays in any position of the centre midfield. Roberto Firmino is our economic choice.

Best FUT 15 Bundesliga Right Wingers (RM, RW e RF)

 

The wingers are responsible for giving game width in the attack. They’re normally very explosive players.

Robben and Muller are the two right wingers most popular who play in Bundesliga.

 

HIGHEST RATED RIGHT WINGERS
Arjen Robben	90	FC Bayern	Netherlands
Thomas Müller	86	FC Bayern	Germany
Jefferson Farfán	83	FC Schalke 04	Peru
Jakub Błaszczykowski	82	Borussia Dortmund	Poland
Xherdan Shaqiri	80	FC Bayern	Switzerland
Sidney Sam	80	FC Schalke 04	Germany
Aubameyang	79	Borussia Dortmund	Gabon
Kevin Volland	79	1899 Hoffenheim	Germany
Vieirinha	78	VfL Wolfsburg	Portugal
Lars Stindl	78	Hannover 96	Germany

 

Speed, dribbling and passing are the essential characteristics for the wide midfielders. Being fast at this post means effective counter attacks built, wide aggressive plays, dynamic one-twos and fast progression through the wings.

Five Bundesliga players stand out with their 90 of pace. Aubameyang is one of the fastest of the world.

 

FASTEST RIGHT WINGERS
Aubameyang	95	Borussia Dortmund	Gabon
Arjen Robben	93	FC Bayern	Netherlands
Eljero Elia	91	Werder Bremen	Netherlands
Patrick Herrmann	91	Bor. M’ Gladbach	Germany
Sidney Sam	90	FC Schalke 04	Germany
Karim Bellarabi	89	Bayer 04	Germany
Xherdan Shaqiri	88	FC Bayern	Switzerland
Nicolai Müller	88	Hamburger SV	Germany
Jakub Błaszczykowski	87	Borussia Dortmund	Poland
Jefferson Farfán	87	FC Schalke 04	Peru

 

The speed of these players becomes more effective when combined to a good dribbling. Good dribblers make the job of reaching the opponent’s goal easier

Arjen Robben is the only one with more than 90.

Nicolai Müller	82	Hamburger SV	Germany
Sidney Sam	81	FC Schalke 04	Germany
Thomas Müller	80	FC Bayern	Germany
Izet Hajrović	80	Werder Bremen	Bosnia

 

Besides the possibility of finishing on target, there’s another good option which involves giving assists.

Arjen Robben is still who does it better.

Kevin Volland	76	1899 Hoffenheim	Germany
Aubameyang	74	Borussia Dortmund	Gabon
Sidney Sam	74	FC Schalke 04	Germany
Vieirinha	73	VfL Wolfsburg	Portugal

 

There are only two good players for this position but Robben is obviously the best one. Muller isn’t fast but has great passing, finishing and dribbling.

Xherdan Shaqiri is our economic choice.

It isn’t easy to choose the best Bundesliga left back. The choice has to be made between Franck Ribéry and Marco Reus. The Bayern’s player is better in two of the three most important attributes for this position, but Reus has a much better shooting and he costs half of the Ribéry price. For limited budgets, Julian Draxler is also an interesting player but or economic choice goes for Ivan Perišić.

Bundesliga Forwards (CF and ST)

 

Many people choose their striker first when building a squad. They’re usually our number 9, often the ones who will decide the match.

Robert Lewandowski, Ciro Immobile and Adrián Ramos are the most popular among the Ultimate Team community.

 

HIGHEST RATED FORWARDS
Robert Lewandowski	87	FC Bayern	Poland
Klaas-Jan Huntelaar	84	FC Schalke 04	Netherlands
Stefan Kießling	81	Bayer 04	Germany
Ciro Immobile	80	Borussia Dortmund	Italy
Raffael	80	Bor. M’ Gladbach	Brazil
Adrián Ramos	79	Borussia Dortmund	Colombia
Ivica Olić	79	VfL Wolfsburg	Croatia
Claudio Pizarro	79	FC Bayern	Peru
Vedad Ibišević	79	VfB Stuttgart	Bosnia
Salomon Kalou	78	Hertha BSC	Ivory Coast

 

Three attributes must be analysed before you choose your top scorer: shooting, physicality and pace. Since most finishes will be shots, shooting is the most important one.

Klaas-Jan Huntelaar has the best shooting but Robert Lewandowski and Stefan Kießling are also good.

 

FORWARDS WITH BEST SHOOTING
Klaas-Jan Huntelaar	85	FC Schalke 04	Netherlands
Robert Lewandowski	84	FC Bayern	Poland
Stefan Kießling	83	Bayer 04	Germany
Patrick Helmes	81	1. FC Köln	Germany
Ciro Immobile	80	Borussia Dortmund	Italy
Lasogga	80	Hamburger SV	Germany
Vedad Ibišević	80	VfB Stuttgart	Bosnia
Ivica Olić	79	VfL Wolfsburg	Croatia
Raffael	79	Bor. M’ Gladbach	Brazil
Claudio Pizarro	79	FC Bayern	Peru

 

Jumping, strength and resistance have as result the player’s physicality attribute. Jumping for air balls is a great alternative if the regular ground plays aren’t working; strength to win challenges against the defenders and resistance to keep sprinting towards the goal.

The young striker Lasogga stands out on this new attribute.

 

FORWARDS WITH BEST PHYSICAL
Lasogga	83	Hamburger SV	Germany
Ivica Olić	82	VfL Wolfsburg	Croatia
Stefan Kießling	80	Bayer 04	Germany
Ádám Szalai	79	1899 Hoffenheim	Hungary
Robert Lewandowski	78	FC Bayern	Poland
Ciro Immobile	78	Borussia Dortmund	Italy
Nelson Valdez	78	Eint. Frankfurt	Paraguay
Artjoms Rudnevs	78	Hamburger SV	Latvia
Franco Di Santo	75	Werder Bremen	Argentina
Bas Dost	74	VfL Wolfsburg	Netherlands

 

Depending on the tactics you use, for example, counter attack, having a fast striker will surely make your opponent worried.

Adrián Ramos is known by his great pace.

Adrián Ramos	86	Borussia Dortmund	Colombia

Artjoms Rudnevs	78	Hamburger SV	Latvia
Nelson Valdez	77	Eint. Frankfurt	Paraguay
Raffael	76	Bor. M’ Gladbach	Brazil

 

Robert Lewandowski isn’t the best one in any of the most important attributes but he is clearly the best Bundesliga striker. He is not a strong player but has good pace, shooting and dribbling stats.

Ciro Immobile came from Serie A to be our second choice. Lasogga is slow but a decent cheap striker.

Bundesliga 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 players based on their role and style of play that fits each player. 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, 4-3-3 with medium budget and 4-4-2 with a low budget.

Playstation: 175.8k coins (153.9k + 21.9k)
Xbox: 132.9k coins (112.9k + 20k)
PC: 202.1k coins (181.5k + 20.6k)

 

• Summary

The choice for this team’s players was based on analysis made in the previous chapters.

If there are undoubted players in this team, Neuer is certainly one of them. It is clear his superiority.

Medhi Benatia is probably the biggest surprise in the defence. Like his team mate Jérôme Boateng, Benatia is fast and has great defensive and physical stats. David Alaba and Łukasz Piszczek are easy choices for fullbacks. No one can be compared to them. You should pay attention to the work rates of the defenders because only Jérôme Boateng doesn’t have high attacking work rate.

Schweinsteiger is not a natural CDM and there are other players, like Sven Bender, with better attributes for this position. However, he is a good choice because he can help the defence but also the attack. Mario Götze is better than the versatile İlkay Gündoğan to fill the other position of the midfield.

The wings of this squad are levelled with the best in the world. The quality of their pace, passing, dribbling and shooting are extremely effective to give amplitude to the game.

If about Lewandowski it isn’t needed to say anything, about Ciro Immobile it may be a bit different. He got this position because he is a really good finisher and has very balanced stats.

• Summary

The choice for this team’s players was based on analysis made in the previous chapters.

The best players are expensive and for that reason there are many changes in this team. However, it is still a quality team.

In the goal, René Adle is a great value for money. The centre backs have good defensive and physical stats, while the fullbacks are very balanced players.

It’s amazing how it is possible to make a high quality midfield with just a few coins. Bender gives security to the defence, while the other two players support the attack.

Muller and Draxler are good investments to the wings. They are perfect to assist Ciro Immobile, the only players that is also in the unlimited budget team. His team mate Adrián Ramos is faster and is also a good choice.

Xbox: 10.2k coins (6.2k + 4k)
PC: 11k coins (6.7k + 4.3k)

 

• Summary

The choice for this team’s players was based on analysis made in the previous chapters.

Since they are really cheap, the five defenders substitutes of the medium budget team are also in the low budget team.

The midfield is filled with very strong players and the wingers have a great price for what they have to offer to the team.

Adrián Ramos is perfect to the attack, as well as Stefan Kießling. If you have more coins, you can also use Ciro Immobile.
