Introduction to the FIFA 15 English Premier League Guide

 

Since we published the Barclays Premier League guide, several new cards have been released. In order to keep our choices updated, we decided this revised version which includes the Winter Transfers and the Winter Upgrades.

Here are the criteria we followed in this guide:

Only Gold Players

In this guide we didn’t consider silver or bronze players. Most players assume that they won’t 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.

• Transferred and Upgraded Players

Players that have been transferred to English Premier League clubs or that have been reviewed (UP) during the Winter were included in this guide.

Only Original Attributes

In this guide we didn’t consider changes made on a players performance 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), centre backs (CB), right backs (RB and RWB), left backs (LB and LWB), centre defensive midfielders (CDM) centre 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 EPL teams are suggested, the prices stated are the ones from the date of the guide’s publication: March 2015. We used the minimum and maximum prices fixed by EA.

 
 

 
 
 
 
 

FUT 15 English Premier League Goalkeepers (GK)

 

Courtois is still the goalkeeper with higher rating.

 

MOST HIGH-RATED GOALKEEPERS
Thibaut Courtois	86	Chelsea	Belgium
Hugo Lloris	85	Spurs	France
De Gea	85	Manchester Utd	Spain
Petr Čech	85	Chelsea	Czech Republic
De Gea	83	Manchester Utd	Spain
Joe Hart	83	Manchester City	England
Simon Mignolet	82	Liverpool	Belgium
Tim Howard	82	Everton	United States
Joe Hart	82	Manchester City	England
Asmir Begović	82	Stoke City	Bosnia Herz.

 

De Gea already was the EPL goalkeeper with better reflexes, even before the upgrade.

 

GOALKEEPERS WITH BEST REFLEXES

Hugo Lloris	88	Spurs	France
Thibaut Courtois	88	Chelsea	Belgium

Willy Caballero	86	Manchester City	Argentina
Asmir Begović	85	Stoke City	Bosnia Herz…
Simon Mignolet	84	Liverpool	Belgium
Petr Čech	84	Chelsea	Czech Republic

 

De Gea strengthened his first place in the list of goalkeepers with best diving.

Hugo Lloris	86	Spurs	France
Joe Hart	85	Manchester City	England

Asmir Begović	84	Stoke City	Bosnia Herz.
Simon Mignolet	84	Liverpool	Belgium
Tim Howard	84	Everton	United States
Petr Čech	83	Chelsea	Czech Republic

 

As expected, nobody is now taller or shorter.

 

TALLEST GOALKEEPERS
Fraser Forster	201	Southampton	England
Asmir Begović	200	Stoke City	Bosnia Herz.
Thibaut Courtois	199	Chelsea	Belgium
Petr Čech	196	Chelsea	Czech Republic
Joe Hart	196	Manchester City	England
Wojciech Szczęsny	196	Arsenal	Poland
Mark Schwarzer	194	Chelsea	Australia
De Gea	193	Manchester Utd	Spain
Ben Foster	193	West Brom	England
Alex McCarthy	193	QPR	England

 

The choice for the best English Premier League goalkeeper on FIFA 15 Ultimate team is not easy, especially now that De Gea is also an option for top-squads.

In our opinion, the position is in good hands (literally) if you choose Thibaut Courtois or Hugo Lloris. The two goalkeepers are equivalent on the most important attributes, but the Belgian is better in the other attributes. He is also 11 cm taller which makes all the difference.

De Gea, who was upgraded, is the one with best reflexes and diving, but in the other attributes he is not as good as the other two. We recommend him for those who frequently pass the ball to the goalkeeper.

When talking about cheapest goalkeepers our suggestion is Asmir Begovic. Only a few EPL goalkeepers have better reflexes and diving than him. Besides, he’s also the second 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.

FUT 15 English Premier League Centre Backs (CB)

 

Koscielny was upgraded but he is still far from the Kompany quality.

 

HIGHEST RATED CENTRE BACKS
Vincent Kompany	86	Manchester City	Belgium
Per Mertesacker	83	Arsenal	Germany
John Terry	83	Chelsea	England
Jan Vertonghen	82	Belgium	Tottenham

Federico Fazio	80	Tottenham	Argentina
Eliaquim Mangala	80	Manchester City	France
Dejan Lovren	80	Liverpool	Croatia
Ron Vlaar	79	Aston Villa	Netherlands
Dejan Lovren	79	Liverpool	Croatia

 

Kompany and Mertesacker are still who defend better.

Dejan Lovren	81	Liverpool	Croatia
Federico Fazio	81	Tottenham	Argentina
Joleon Lescott	81	West Brom	England
Michael Dawson	81	Hull City	England

 

There are no big changes in the centre backs with best physical.

 

CENTRE BACKS WITH BEST PHYSICAL
Robert Huth	86	Stoke City	Germany
Robert Huth	86	Leicester City	Germany
Eliaquim Mangala	85	Manchester City	France
Ryan Shawcross	84	Stoke City	England
Mamadou Sakho	83	Liverpool	France

Younès Kaboul	82	Tottenham	France

Vincent Kompany	81	Manchester City	Belgium
Jan Vertonghen	81	Belgium	Tottenham
Phil Jagielka	81	Everton	England
Dejan Lovren	81	Liverpool	Croatia
Federico Fazio	81	Tottenham	Argentina

 

The new cards of Koscielny, Gabriel and Can Can are now good choices for those who are looking for fast players.

 

CENTRE BACKS WITH BEST PACE
Nedum Onuoha	83	QPR	England
Laurent Koscielny	82	Arsenal	France
Laurent Koscielny	81	Arsenal	France
Vlad Chiricheş	81	Tottenham	Romania
Emr Can	79	Liverpool	Germany
Chris Smalling	78	Manchester United	England
Gabriel	76	Arsenal	Brazil
Eliaquim Mangala	76	Manchester City	France
Marcos Rojo	75	Manchester United	Argentina
Steven Caulker	75	QPR	England
Curtis Davies	75	Hull City	England
Gary Cahill	74	Chelsea	England
Jonny Evans	74	Manchester United	England
Younès Kaboul	74	Tottenham	France
Matija Nastasić	74	Manchester City	Serbia
Kolo Touré	74	Liverpool	Ivory Coast
Winston Reid	74	West Ham	Australia

 

Kompany is our number one choice for this position. Fast and with good defending and attacking attributes, the Belgian is the most expensive of all centre backs in the English Premier League.

Koscielny and Mangala are the centre backs that come closest to Kompany’s quality. Now that Koscielny is upgraded, he is now without question the number two. Jan Vertonghen and Marcos Rojo are also good options.

FUT 15 English Premier League Right Backs (RB and RWB)

 

This was one of the positions which was more improved during the Winter Upgrades. It is clear now that Zabaleta is a top right back as well as Coleman is now part of the best right backs shortlist.

 

HIGHEST RATED RIGHT BACKS
Pablo Zabaleta	83	Manchester City	Argentina
Pablo Zabaleta	82	Manchester City	Argentina
Branislav Ivanović	81	Chelsea	Serbia
Bacary Sagna	80	Manchester City	France
Mathieu Debuchy	80	Arsenal	France
Séamus Coleman	80	Everton	Republic of Ireland
Séamus Coleman	78	Everton	Republic of Ireland
Kyle Walker	77	Tottenham	England
Rafael	77	Manchester United	Brazil
Glen Johnson	76	Liverpool	England

 

Zabaleta and Coleman defence was improved in one point but Ivanovic is still untouchable in this raking.

 

RIGHT BACKS WITH BEST DEFENDING
Branislav Ivanović	86	Chelsea	Serbia
Pablo Zabaleta	84	Manchester City	Argentina
Pablo Zabaleta	83	Manchester City	Argentina
Bacary Sagna	81	Manchester City	France
Séamus Coleman	79	Everton	Republic of Ireland
Séamus Coleman	78	Everton	Republic of Ireland
Mathieu Debuchy	78	Arsenal	France
Kyle Walker	76	Tottenham	England
Rafael	76	Manchester United	Brazil
Àngel Rangel	76	Swansea City	Spain
Glen Johnson	75	Liverpool	England
Daryl Janmaat	74	Newcastle	Netherlands

 

If you are looking for fast right backs but you don’t want Kyle Walker, now you have a good alternative: Nathaniel Clyne.

 

RIGHT BACKS WITH BEST PACE
Kyle Walker	91	Tottenham	England
Nathaniel Clyne	86	Southampton	England
Rafael	83	Manchester United	Brazil
Séamus Coleman	83	Everton	Republic of Ireland
Séamus Coleman	81	Everton	Republic of Ireland
Glen Johnson	79	Liverpool	England
Mathieu Debuchy	76	Arsenal	France
Daryl Janmaat	76	Newcastle	Netherlands
Pablo Zabaleta	75	Manchester City	Argentina
Pablo Zabaleta	74	Manchester City	Argentina
Bacary Sagna	74	Manchester City	France

 

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 him and Ivanović are the right choices 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 his high attacking work rate makes him a good player for those that see full backs as second wingers.

For those that search for an intermediate solution, in other words, a player that defends and attacks fairly, we advise Séamus Coleman. He is a very balanced athlete.

Best FUT 15 English Premier League Left Backs (LB e LWB)

 

The Azpilicueta’s upgrade was the only new card of EPL left backs.

 

HIGHEST RATED LEFT BACKS
Filipe Luís	82	Chelsea	Brazil
Leighton Baines	82	Everton	England
Azpilicueta	81	Chelsea	Spain
Gaël Clichy	80	Manchester City	France
Azpilicueta	79	Chelsea	Spain
Kieran Gibbs	78	Arsenal	England
Aleksandar Kolarov	78	Manchester City	Serbia
Alberto Moreno	78	Liverpool	Spain
José Enrique	77	Liverpool	Spain
Monreal	76	Arsenal	Spain
Luke Shaw	75	Manchester United	England

 

Azpilicueta is now the left back with best defensive skills.

 

LEFT BACKS WITH BEST DEFENDING
Azpilicueta	82	Chelsea	Spain
Filipe Luís	81	Chelsea	Brazil
Gaël Clichy	80	Manchester City	France
Leighton Baines	80	Everton	England

Aleksandar Kolarov	78	Manchester City	Serbia
José Enrique	77	Liverpool	Spain
Luke Shaw	75	Manchester United	England
Alberto Moreno	74	Liverpool	Spain
Monreal	74	Arsenal	Spain

 

Moreno and Clichy are still the fastest left backs.

 

LEFT BACKS WITH BEST PACE
Alberto Moreno	87	Liverpool	Spain
Gaël Clichy	85	Manchester City	France
Filipe Luís	82	Chelsea	Brazil
Luke Shaw	82	Manchester United	England
Kieran Gibbs	81	Arsenal	England
José Enrique	81	Liverpool	Spain
Azpilicueta	81	Chelsea	Spain
Azpilicueta	79	Chelsea	Spain
Monreal	78	Arsenal	Spain
Davide Santon	78	Newcastle	Italy
Leighton Baines	77	Everton	England

 

Filipe Luis is with no question the best left back playing in the Barclays Premier League. In our opinion, Azpilicueta is now the best alternative to the Brazilian player. He is more complete than Clichy.

Leighton Baines and Alberto Moreno are valid alternatives to these three players but for different reasons. The first besides being extremely balanced he is also a good crosser. He’s a good choice for more attacking teams. What is lacking to him, Moreno has a lot. He is the fastest left back, something so important in FUT 15. However, don’t ask much more that that from him.

Of all the remaining players, Kieran Gibbs is our cheapest choice. He doesn’t have the same efficiency as the others we referred too but he’s fast enough to cause some offensive damage and possesses reasonable defending.

Best FUT 15 English Premier League Central Defensive Midfielder (CDM)

 

Between the most popular centre midfielders, only Matic got a new card. He already was the one with higher rating.

Marouane Fellaini	79	Manchester United	Belgium
Daley Blind	79	Manchester United	Netherlands
Cheick Tioté	78	Newcastle	Ivory Coast

 

Fernando is still the CDM with best defensive skills but Matic is now much closer.

Mathieu Flamini	78	Arsenal	France
Claudio Yacob	78	West Brom	Argentina
Alexandre Song	78	West Ham	Cameroon
Mile Jedinák	77	Cystal Palace	Australia

 

Nothing has changed in the top 5 of centre defensive midfielders with best physical.

 

CENTRAL DEFENSIVE MIDFIELDERS WITH BEST PHYSICAL
Cheick Tioté	88	Newcastle	Ivory Coast
John Obi Mikel	88	Chelsea	Nigeria
Marouane Fellaini	88	Manchester United	Belgium

James McCarthy	81	Everton	Rep. Ireland
James McCarthy	80	Everton	Rep. Ireland
Youssouf Mulumbu	80	West Brom	RD Congo
Joey Barton	80	QPR	England

 

Ramires is our favourite because he possess a much appreciated cocktail of work rate, pace and stamina which allows him to be everywhere. He is also the fastest and the CDM with highest accumulated score. He is weak physically, but if you have played with him in previous years, you will be pleasantly surprised. He is one of the players who most benefited from the fitness changes introduced this year.

There are still very good options that offer a cheap price but still good quality wise, like Matic. He got an upgrade but he is still far from Ramires’ quality. For those who want an element that offer defensive solidity to the team, Fernando is a very interesting choice. For those that search for someone that can roam to further zones around the pitch, Tioté is a player to considered.

This was one of the positions with more changes: Fàbregas, Eriksen, Lallana and Bojan are good examples of players with new cards.

Tomáš Rosický	80	Arsenal	Czech Republic
Dušan Tadić	80	Southampton	Serbia

Fàbregas is one of the players with best passing in the whole world, and now he is even better.

Four players share the first place of the best dribbling players list: Ozil, Mata, Di Maria and Coutinho.

Adel Taarabt	84	QPR	Morocco
Moussa Dembélé	84	Tottenham	Belgium
Adam Lallana	84	Liverpool	England
Adam Lallana	83	Liverpool	England
Christian Eriksen	83	Spurs	Denmark

 

Di Maria is still the most interesting player in the Barclays Premier League Midfield. He is levelled with the best players at various attributes, like passing, dribbling, pace and long shots.

Another essential player is Yaya Touré, in large parts because of his amazing strength and stamina. He is a very balanced player but his new medium-medium work rate doesn’t allow him to give everything he has to give to the team. In our opinion, he was the best FIFA player in the past few years, but he is not any more. Obviously, he is still a wonderful player but if you were used to playing with him, you will notice a considerable difference.

Ozil, Mata, Fábregas and Oscar are cheaper players that can perform well their roles as centre midfielders. After the Winter upgrades, Fàbregas became our favourite. Thanks to the prices range, Mata is now our cheapest choice.

Best FUT 15 English Premier League Right Wingers (RM, RW e RF)

 

The move of Cuadrado to London was a good addition to the right side of this league. Now, Alexis Sánchez, who also was upgraded, has competition.

Cuadrado was a great signing to who was looking for a high-quality player faster than Sánchez.

Aléxis Sánchez and Cuadrado are clearly the most indicated players to occupy this position in a team without budget restraints. Our preference goes toward the Colombian player that even though has worse shooting can be faster and help the defence more. However, if you are looking for someone for this position with good shooting, Sánchez may be a better choice. Willian is the third name in our list and Navas the fourth.

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 as fast as Sánchez, has almost better dribbling than Navas and passes much better than the Chilean player. 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.

Hazard’s price is prohibits him from many budgets, proving the worth of the player. He’s without a doubt the best Barclays Premier League left winger. He’s the fastest one and the best dribbler. 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. David Silva is also a wonderful player but not for this position. He is a top-quality player, especially in ball control and passing, but his pace is not enough to convince us.

For those that don’t want to pay as many coins for the Belgian, Christian Eriksen is the most complete player and for that reason, our cheapest choice. Nasri and Cazorla are not fast enough and André Schürrle has bad passing stats.

One of the most used players in the BPL is Podolski. Even though he’s the one that has the best shooting, his passing and dribbling doesn’t convince us.

The upgrades clarified, once for all, who are the best BPL striker: Aguero and Diego Costa. The Manchester City player has a slight advantage due to his better pace and shooting. Even though he’s not the best at any of the basic attributes, no other BPL forward surpasses him in ball control, acceleration and balance.

Choosing the best Barclays Premier League forward is a bit subjective because it depends on everyone’s style of play. It is always missing something to the best alternatives to Aguero and Diego Costa: Van Persie is slow; Falcão isn’t as good as in the previous year now that heading bug was fixed; Wayne Rooney plays better as CF or even CAM than as a striker; and Sturridge has bad passing.

Far from these strikers quality, Lukaku is our cheapest choice. Him and Benteke may cause a lot of damage on the opponents defence.

English 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 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 low budget.

• Budget
Mínimum: 1,330 million coins (1205.4k + 124.6k)
Maximum: 2,069 million coins (1828k + 241k)

 

• Summary

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

Thibaut Courtois is without question the best Barclays Premier League goalkeeper. The new card of De Gea seems quite interesting, but he is not good enough to take the Lloris place in the bench.

Kompany keeps on being the boss of the defensive foursome for all and a few more reasons. On his side, Koscielny is now untouchable. Kyle Walker and Filipe Luis are the fullbacks but with new alternatives: Azpilicueta is the number two in the left side while Zabaleta may be used in the first squad if you want someone with good defensive skills.

Although Yaya is originally a CM in FUT 15, the CDM position works like a charm for him. He’s no longer so much of a box-to-box player now with the new medium-medium work rate. If you need someone with these characteristics, don’t hesitate to choose Ramires as well. For the next position, Di Maria is our natural choice. Mata is not our choice for the bench anymore. The new card of Fàbregas is slightly better.

The only new addiction to the starting eleven is Cuadrado. In our opinion he is even better than the new card of Aléxis Sánchez. Eden Hazard is so brilliant there’s just no chance he could stay out of the left midfield.

If your budget allows you, of course, Agüero and Diego Costa are the obvious choices for the attack line, specially now that both cards were upgraded. The biggest surprise, however, is maybe how Sturridge now takes Falcão or Robin Van Persie’s spot on the bench, but the truth is that the young lad’s characteristics are just more appropriate to the FIFA 15 game play style.

Once all the players reach maximum individual chemistry you can go without a manager for your squad. They’ll be of no use and still spend contracts.

Maximum: 133k coins (69k + 64k)

 

• Summary

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

At the goal, the new card of Joe Hart is the chosen one. Begovic, our second choice, is an authentic bargain that will actually stand shoulder to shoulder against popular goalkeepers such as Petr Cech and Tim Howard.

In the defence, Mangala is definitely worth every penny. By his side, another player that was originally from the Liga Portuguesa: Marcos Rojo. Coleman and Azpilicueta, both with new cards, complete our defending foursome.

Now more than ever, the centre midfield position has to be Matic’s. The serbian builds up the first barrier between your goal line and the opponent, making his defensiveness and physicality count. Coutinho, which still has maximum individual chemistry even playing as a CAM, and Mata complete the midfield. The Spanish player his now cheap enough to be included in this squad.

While Mirallas beats the concurrence by the right wing, Eriksen or Nasri could equally fill with quality the opposite side.

Over the attack line, Lukaku or Benteke are excellent choices. They’re very similar to each other and are good for their pace, strength and resistance mainly.

If you still have some room in your budget, Kyle Walker, Koscielny and Cuadrado are players that would improve this squad a lot.

• Summary

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

Nothing has changed in the defence. The exception is Nathaniel Clyne, promoted from silver players. He is now the second choice for right-back.

On the midfield, Tioté and Bojan complete each other well. The first one is kind of a smaller and more defensive version of Touré, and the second is an irreverent player. Lamela and Arnautovic fill the wings in order to assist Bony and Zárate, both at new clubs.
