Squad Suggestions
Building a team in FC 25 Ultimate Team can be challenging. While having the best team isn’t always feasible due to budget constraints, it’s vital to create a team that fits your style and needs.
When selecting players, carefully consider their attributes. A common mistake is choosing a team solely based on ratings. We’ll guide you through the best players for each position, focusing on their key attributes.
It’s also crucial to ensure that the players you select fit your preferred formations. For instance, having a skilled full-back won’t be beneficial if your formation only includes three defenders.
Maximizing chemistry is equally important. Many players build squads based on a single league or nation, but experienced players can create hybrid teams without sacrificing chemistry.
To cater to different player preferences and budgets, we recommend three squads with varying formations and budgets. Keep in mind that these formations are not necessarily the best for the Serie A but are general formations used across our squad guides.
Disclaimer Notes
This guide reflects our perception of the game, which may differ from yours. It is intended to serve as a general orientation rather than a definitive solution, as it’s impossible to create a team that fits everyone’s preferences. Various factors that influence choices, such as budget, formation, roles, playstyles, and individual player preferences, are unique to each player.
Here are the criteria we used in this guide:
- Only Gold Players: We have not considered silver and bronze players, as most of them cannot match the quality of gold players.
- Only Regular Players: This guide excludes In-Form (IF) and special items, including Icons and Heroes, which are often more expensive and may not offer good value for players with limited budgets.
- Only Normal Players: Upgraded or transferred items are not considered. We have only included players who started the season in the Premier League with their original attributes.

The choice for this team’s players was based on the analysis made in the position guides. Please look at those guides to understand why we picked player A instead of player B.
Maignan is our natural choice for the goal. He is much better than the other goalkeepers playing in Italy.
Tomori and Bremer are very strong, fast, and only three other players defend as well as they do. That’s why they have to be in the team.
To complete the defense, we recommend two quality players. On the right side, Serie A has finally gained an option it hasn’t had in a while. Di Lorenzo is fast, has good passing and dribbling skills, and also performs very well defensively. On the opposite side, the obvious choice is one of the league’s most expensive players: Theo Hernández, a player who has no flaws and elevates any team to another level.
As the first line of defense, Anguissa uses his speed, strength, and defensive abilities to outmuscle opponents. In front of him, we suggest you go for Dybala. Although he performs better behind the striker, for this formation, it’s the CAM position where he is most needed.
There are many good left wingers in this league, and some can even play as RW but not as RM. This implies that Berardi, a solid but not outstanding player, is the best choice for the right side of the midfield. On the other side, the competition is strong, with Rafael Leão prevailing over Chiesa and Kvaratskhelia. However, to make the most of this trio, we believe it’s advantageous to place the Portuguese player in the forward position and leave the LM spot for Chiesa.
Finally, the last position in this team is occupied by Osimhen, who needs no introduction. The upgrade he received this year translates to many goals.
If you use these players, you won’t need a manager on your team since he will be useless.

The choices for this more affordable team were based on the analysis made in the position guides. If you want to understand our choices, read those guides.
On defense, Bremer is the only player cheap enough to remain on our squad. Szczęsny, Cuadrado, Bastoni, and Spinazzola are the best replacements. If you have some spare coins, we suggest investing in Maignan as the first upgrade.
In the center of the midfield, we have chosen Rabiot. He’s strong, defends well, and is a good player to start the attacks. With him in the team, Barella and Çalhanoglu are free to focus on the attack.
Berardi on the right and Kostić on the left are perfect for assisting Lautaro, a striker who will score many goals.
This squad was built with players whose price was under 15k coins on the release date. However, if you still have room in your budget, Dybala and Kvaratskhelia would significantly improve this squad.

The choice for this team’s players was based on the analysis made in the position guides. To understand why these players were selected, please read those guides.
Provedel is the chosen goalkeeper for this team. He is one of the sensations of this league when it comes to very affordable players. The defense is completed with Cuadrado, Danilo, Casale, and Marušić.
In the midfield, Luis Alberto and Pellegrini complement each other well. However, if you feel the Spanish player is too slow, you can replace him with Zielinski. Chukweze on the right and Kostić on the left fill the wings to assist Vlahović and the powerful Lukaku.
This squad was built with players whose price was under 1k coins on the release date. There is room for improvement, but you will need to save some coins. If you still have some space in your budget, Meret, Spinazzola, and Bennacer are players who would improve this squad a lot.
If you use these players, you won’t need a manager on your team since he will be useless.
