FIFA 13 Ultimate Team Liga BBVA Squad

 

Check out the review we made about the players from Liga BBVA, the main spanish football league.

 
 
 

Building a FIFA 13 Ultimate Team Liga BBVA Squad

 

FIFA 13 Ultimate Team is mainly based on building a good squad. But that’s not easy. Firstly, we have to choose a tactic for us to get adapted with. Then, we choose the players we want to hire according to the attributes that we consider important and how they can fit into our tactic. And, at last, we have to make everything that is possible to get a high chemistry.

To make this last step easier, most players start defining what kind of squad they’re going to build. Some choose to get players with the same nationality (brazilian squads are the most common), while others prefer to build one with players from the same league. There are also more experienced players that can build hybrid squads without prejudicing the chemistry too much.

However, we all feel some disorientation when we start building our squad. This article intends to help those who think about or intend to build a FIFA 13 Ultimate Team squad based in Liga BBVA players.

Obviously this article is merely guiding. It’s about an extremely vast theme in which player combinations are almost infinite. Besides that, there are lots of factors that influence the players’ choices, such as each one’s playing style, tactic, budget, preferred clubs or even the time spent playing. There’s also an uncertainty component: a good player for you may not be good for the other players. If there was a certain best squad, everyone would struggle to have it. Part of the FIFA 13 Ultimate Team joke is this: each one has his own club and players.

 
 
 

Liga BBVA and FIFA 13 Ultimate Team

 

The main football competition of Spain is considered the greatest league of the world. Started in 1929, La Liga is disputed by 20 clubs, of which Real Madrid has won 32 times and Barcelona 21 times.

By the high quality of the players in this league, it’s natural that this is one of the most represented league on FUT 13 squads. Also because of that, the practiced prices are extremely high (not as much as the Barclays PL). If you’re thinking of building a Liga BBVA squad, it’d be good that you had a fat wallet.

In relation to FIFA 12 Ultimate Team, FUT 13 lost some good players that used to play on Spanish League. Javi Martinez, Salvio, Afellay, Keita, Santi Cazorla, Diarra, Sahin, Granero and Altintop are good examples for that, but the biggest loss was actually Van Nistelrooy who has retired.

Although, the Liga BBVA got some massive signings in FIFA 13 Ultimate Team, too: Song, Saviola, Roque Santa Cruz, Essien, Modric, Cissokho e João Pereira.

As you can see, there are lots of quality choices. However, having a higher overall doesn’t mean that the player is better. It is necessary to analyze their attributes.

In this article we will analyze only the regular players, since the IF ones are extremely expensive and should be used only for an esthetic matter in most cases when the player has a lot of coins left.

 

To make the analysis easier, let’s consider six groups of players:

• Goalkeeper (GK);
• Central Back (CB);
• Lateral Backs (RB, RWB, LB e LWB);
• Central Midfielders (CDM, CM e CAM);
• Medium Wingers (RM, RW, RF, LM, LW e LF);
• and Attackers (CF e ST).

Let’s get going!

 
 

Liga BBVA’s Goalkeepers (GK)

 

Many players start their signings with an attaker. Then improve the midfield, the defense and, lastly, the goal. The truth is that having a good goalkeeper will make a difference several times for winning a match. And usually the investiment is not that significant.

The most wanted goalkeepers are Casillas, his rival Vistor Váldes, the brazilian Diego Alves and Diego López. They are the ones that have the best rating and also because of that are the most expensive ones.

TOP BRONZE

Although, the best overall doesn’t necessarily mean the best choice. There are two fundamental attributes for a good goalkeeper: reflexes and diving.

The first one measures the keeper’s agility when performing a defense. In this particularity, Madrid’s goalkeeper is the best among the others. Highlights also for Diego Alves for being one of those that have the best reflexes.

The diving measures the capacity of a goalkeeper to perform a defense in the air. Also in this important aspect, Casillas outstands on the almost opponents. Diego Alves is the exception. He is a valid choice for who wants to save coins.

There’s one more characteristic in a goalkeeper that will be able to make a difference: his height. The taller he is, the bigger will be the chances to maintain the goal inviolable. This is Casillas’ weakness. He is one of the shortest goalkeepers on the Liga BBVA, 13 centimeters away from Thibaut Courtois and from Villanueva, the tallest keepers on Spanhish League.

Iker Casillas is unequivocally the best goalkeeper on Liga BBVA. He is currently considered the best goalkeeper in the world. Out of the six main attributes for a goalkeeper, he is the best on three (reflexes, diving and speed). And two of them are the most important. If you like to pass the ball back to the goalkeeper, there are many players that develop this function well, like Claudio Bravo and Dani Hernández. Victor Valdes is unbeatable in positioning and Thibaut Courtois in handling.

Obviously, Casillas isn’t available for all wallets. Victor Valdés is also an excellent goalkeeper and is worth the quarter. If you want even a cheaper alternative, choose Diego Alves. He is almost as good as Casillas in the most important attributes and defending penalties is his specialty.

 

 
 
 

Liga BBVA’s Centre Backs (CB)

 

A goalkeeper’s job becomes easier if quality centre backs are playing right ahead. Their role in the match is to stop the opponents from getting near the goal.

Six out of ten best central backs of the game play in the Liga BBVA. Sergio Ramos was promoted in FUT 13 to best centre back of Liga BBVA. The Portuguese Pepe and his rivals Mascherano, Piqué ans Puyol are other quality defenders from the Spanish League.

For a centre back, two attributes are of particular importance: defending and heading.

A player with a good defending will take the ball from the opponent and prevent him to reach the box more easily. This is Mascherano, Piqué and Puyol’s case, the three best players to perform this function. A cheaper alternative to a good defense is the french Valencia’s Adil Rami.

Having a good heading is very important for a centre back because it allows him to win balls in the air while they’re thrown in his box. But that’s not all. Also on attacking free kicks, such as the corner, it is normal to see centre backs going into the opponent’s box to try their lucks.

In this chapter there’s a player that crushes the competitors: Sergio Ramos. He is, with a large advantage, the player who has the best heading in the Liga BBVA. In case you can’t buy one, Puyol, Ricardo Costa and Adil Rami are also very good. In the opposite way there are Mascherano and Ballesteros. Although they have excellent defendings, they have poor headings (70 and 72 respectively), so they must be players you have to avoid buying for your La Liga squad.

One of the commonest characteristics on centre backs that dissatisfy us players is their slowness. No one likes to feel impotent by seeing extremely fast players easily passing through our defense. That’s why the defenders’ speed is also an important factor.

Some Liga BBVA’s good centre backs are slow. Puyol, Adil Rami and even Piqué don’t exceed 62 on the speed stat. Martín Demichelis is the half of it (!). Pepe and Miranda can be good choices if speed is important to you. If money is no problem to you, bet on Sergio Ramos. He is the fastest.

Sergio Ramos is definitely the best central defender in the Liga BBVA. He is the fastest, has the best heading, the best dribbling and the best shooting. This should be enough to put him in your squad. But he’s got one problem: his prohibitive price for many players. Many players like to put a slower centre back that is more secure alongside another that compensates on speed. Depending on this factor, bet in one of these three players to be his partner in defense: Pepe for a very fast defense, Puyol for a more static element but with better defensive attributes or Piqué for a middle ground.

For limited budgets there are other quality solutions. A double of Miranda e Adil Rami guarantees a solid defense by having high attributes of defending and heading at a low price.

 

 
 
 

Liga BBVA’s Side Defenders (RB, RWB, LB, LWB)

 

The side defenders have the function of making the opponents’ wingers’ jobs harder. But that’s not all. Complementarily, the good side defenders also support their team’s wingers on offensive plays.

On Liga BBVA, Dani Alves found the concurrence of João Pereira and Arbeloa on the right side of the defense. On the opposite side, Marcelo, hos teamate Fábio Coentrão and Jordi Alba are the top rated ones.

Since they are elements of the defense, in these players the defending is a central attribute. On the right side, Arbeloa is the best. On the left side, Marcelo and Abidal are who have this attribute more developed. Still, any of them stays behind the best centre backs of the Liga BBVA in this FIFA 13 Ultimate Team.

But a side defender shouldn’t only defend. If you like them to go to the opposite box and perform perfect crosses, then it’s interesting for you to know who does it well.

If Iraola has good crosses on the right side, on the left side Jérémy Mathieu, Marcelo and Siqueira can cross even better. Dani Alves, Jordi Alba, Monreal and Capdevilla also have a very good performance in this chapter.

A side defender is much more dynamic than a centre back because he fulfills a double mission of defense-attack and because the game tends to be faster on the wings. That’s why it’s important for them to be fast players.

There are many fast side defenders in the Liga BBVA of FIFA 13 Ultimte Team. Dani Alves exceeds 90 of pace, while Jordi Alba gets the same but on the left side. João Pereira and Juanfran are also fast players.

For the right side of your FIFA 13 Ultimate Team Spanish League squad, Dani Alves is the strongest player. He is the fastest, the second best defender and the second with the best cross. Although, he’s also very expensive. It is given more value to the offensive capacity than the defensive, so João Pereira is the right guy.

On the left side, Marcelo can be considered as a well balanced side defender. He’s fast, defends well and crosses with precision. There are others who also develop this function well, but no one as good as the brazilian. Jordi Alba is our second choice for this position.

 

 
 
 

Liga BBVA’s Midfielders (CDM, CM e CAM)

 

The players that play on the middle of the field are responsible for helping in the defensive aspects, but mainly for assisting the advanced players of their team. They are the ones who should study the match and define its rhythm.

Some of the best midfielders in FIFA 13 Ultimate Team play on Liga BBVA, such as Xavi, Fàbregas, Ozil, Xabi Alonso or Modric.

The midfielders are responsible for finding out the lines that break the opponent’s defense. Their passing quality must be very good so they can assist the attackers.

Although Xavi is the the one who has the best passing ability in the whole FUT 13, there are many other good solutions, such as Fàbregas, Xabi Alonso and Modric.

The passing is the most important attribute in a midfielder but it’s not the only one. These players must have a good vision and, if possible, a good shooting. Xavi is the king on the first one and Kaka on the second.

A good dribbling allows you to take the team ahead, possibly creating unbalances. Also in this characteristic Xavi is well rated. Even better just Arda Turan and Ozil.

Xavi is the best midfielder of the Liga BBVA for being the one who highlights the most on the attributes that are really important for his position. There are some cheaper options, but the choice between Fàbregas, Ozil, Xabi Alonso and others depends on your style of play.

If you often shoot outside the box, Kaka and Fabregas may be the best choices. If you like to advance with the ball on your feet, Ozil and Turan can be the right ones. No quality lacking.

 

 
 
 

Liga BBVA’s Wingers (RM, RW, RF, LM, LW e LF)

 

The wingers are responsible for widening the offensive moves of their team. They’re normally the most explosive players.

Some high quality wingers play in the spanish championship. Di Maria, Aléxis Sánchez and Jesús Navas on the right side, Cristiano Ronaldo and Iniesta on the left side are good examples.

Getting away through the side line until the opponent’s goal is something commom on a winger. In order to do that with success, they need to be fast players. That’s why the speed is one of the most important attributes for the players on this position.

Four wings of Liga BBVA have a pace above 90.. Jésus Navas on the right side and Cristiano Ronaldo on the left side are the fastest. In the spanish league, only Messi is better.

But in order to get close from the opponent’s goal, the speed may be enough. The wingers will face the opponents and will have to use dribbling to surpass them.

Liga BBVA’s left wingers combine their speed with a great dribbling. Cristiano Ronaldo and Iniesta, two of the greatest palyers of the world, are better than the best right wingers, Aléxis Sànchez, Di Maria and Joaquín.

When arriving in the opponent’s box, the wingers have to decide what to do. Most times, they choose to assist the attackers. That’s why it’s important for them to be good on passing.

For the right wingers this is their weakness. Except for Di Maria, the players with the best passing are those that have a lower overall.

On the left side, Iniesta is the best choice. Still, Ronaldo and Pedro are players with a passing capacity very well developed.

Di Maria, Sánchez and Navas are the right wingers of quality. Any of them has superb pace, good dribbling and fantastic passing. But there are only three. There are actually fast wingers but they are relatively weak on dribbling and passing. The affordable prices reflect this lack of quality.

On the left side play two world football stars: Ronaldo e Iniesta. The quality of the first one is attested by the fact that he is the most expensive of all FUT 13 players. But if the Portuguese is an super complete wing, Iniesta has flaws. Although he is an outstanding player, Iniesta is not very fast and his shot is far from fantastic. In this position there are no other players in Liga BBVA which can be compared to these two..

 

 
 
 

Liga BBVA’s Attackers (CF e ST)

 

The attackers are the ones that play on the last third of the field alongside with the opponents’ defenders. The only requirement for them is to be able to score goals.

Lionel Messi is the best attacker in FIFA 13 Ultimate Team and probabily the best player of the world. In fact, he gives much brightness to Liga BBVA. Except for Messi, Falcão and Benzema, there are not any forward in the spanish league with the same quality that the players of other positions.

If attackers are supposed to score goals, then shooting is the most important attribute for them.

Falcão and Benzema are good strikers but the best one is Messi. Of the twelve attackers who best shoots in FIFA 13 Ultiamte Team, only the Argentine belongs to the Liga BBVA.

The attackers don’t use only their feet to score goals. Knowing how to head the ball can make a lot of difference. If you’re a player who often crosses the ball to the box, then this attribute is indispensable.

Aduriz and Llorente have better heading than the most wanted players, such as Messi, Benzema and Higuaín. But the player with best heading is Falcão. Vidic is the only player that can do better than the colombian in whole FUT 13.

Shooting and heading are the most important attributes for an attacker. Although, according to each one’s tactic and game style, there are those who prefer attackers that take advantage on their speed to surpass the opponent’s defense.

In the Liga BBVA, Messi is the fastest attacker. José Callejón is also very fast. Falcão and Higuaín are both much more slower. Llorente, who has a great heading, is so slow that his purchase should be avoid.

For who is able to afford him, Messi is the indispensable attacker. Although he hasn’t a fantastic heading, Messi is superb on all the other attributes. For the second attacker, the choice should vary between Falcão and Benzema. If your game style privileges the pace, then the french is better. If your game style privileges the heading, then you should choose the colombian. Soldado and Negredo are the cheapest players that will be able to develop the same functions although with less quality.

No doubt this is a great squad. If there were any doubts, the fact that it is valued as around four million coins helps to ensure that.

On the goal there is the undoubtedly best goalkeeper from the world. To the bench, we recommend Diego Alves instead of Victor Valdes. Right ahead it was chosen to put two fast defenders. Sergio Ramos is the first choice and Pepe wins the place to Piqué because his pace makes up for the slight disadvantage in the defensive attributes and heading. The side defenders are players that defend well but attack even better. They’re fast and know how to cross to the box. Jordi Alba and João Pereira are the alternatives for these positions. Xabi Alonso is on of the midfielders that best defends so that his selection to the defensive middle position remains natural. The fantastic Xavi plays in front of him. He is a bit slow but he has the best vision and the best passing in the whole FUT 13, knows how to dribble and is able to find out all the spaces in order to isolate his attacking teammates. Di Maria is the chosen one to occupy the right side of the attack because of his speed, dribbling capacity, passing and crossing. Navas is a option to the place of the argentine. On the opposite side, Cristiano Ronaldo is undoubtedly because he’s the best or the second best player of the world. On the attacking front, Lionel Messi is a natural choice and to make him company there is Benzema. The french beats Falcão because, although the colombian has a perfect heading, the spanish champion is much faster. If you cross a lot to the box, Falcão should be a better option.

 
 

Liga BBVA Squad for FIFA 13 Ultimate Team with a 25k Coins Budget:

Building a 20k coins squad, in this case, doesn’t mean forming a weak squad. The important thing is to select the players with the characteristics you’re looking for.

In the Liga BBVA, only Casillas and Diego Alves have better reflexes and diving than Kameni. The Cameroonian is very cheap for his quality. Guaita is a valid alternative to goalkeeper position. For his price, Adil Rami is an authentic pearl on the defending line. He defends and heads well. His weakness is the pace. That’s why Miranda has joined to be his defending teammate. If you don’t wanna the french on your defense, try Raúl Albiol. Juanfran, the chosen to right-back, is even faster. On the opposite side, Filipe Luís is a player with good qualities except for his shooting and heading, the less important attributes on a side defender. Arda Turan and Alberto Costa have excellent dribbling and passing qualities. Isco can take this position too and if you want a midfielder more defensive, you should try Essien or Song. The wings are also very good. Feghouli and Guardado have good pace, dribbling and passing. Joaquín on the right side and Simão on the left side are our second choices. On the attacking front, both are excellent attackers. Both have good shooting and heading but Soldado is faster.
