Introduction

 

Choosing, calculating, making changes, selling and buying, these are just a few of the several things we’ll need to do in order to build ourselves a squad on FIFA Ultimate Team. You don’t just choose the best players for a team and then start playing with them without looking at your budget first; building a team, in this case a squad, involves much more than that. You have to pay attention to the important attributes there are for each position depending on your formation as well. That means not always the most eligible players will be the best choices for your tactical system. Taking simple attitudes such as looking out for the players’ work rates, individual chemistries and correct positions is the easiest way towards victory.

This article has no intention to be the absolute truth, but the orientation for the development of the FIFA Ultimate Team fans’ squads. Many factors will influence our choices for a squad: tactics, playing style, budget etc. The interesting thing about the game is that there will be loads of possibilities coming your way no matter what your preferences are.

This guide is about a point of view that’s based on a few pre-established criteria, which are:

• Gold Players Only

Only gold players will be taken into account because the big majority of players are more used to this category. If necessary, later on there will be guides with silver and bronze cards.

• Regular Players Only

Only regular players will be analyzed. Players IF (in form) are way more expensive and should only be acquired in case of good value for money. But if you have quite the budget your squad will just get better and better.

• Player transfers and upgrades

The summer transfer window 2014 is included along with the player upgrades for the 2014 season. All FIFA 15 changes are included.

• Original Characteristics Only

Only players with their original characteristics are listed on the guide, there will be no addition of complements that may alter the cards’ potential.

• Analysis per Position

The players are divided in nine groups for their respective positions: Goalkeepers (GK), Centre Backs (CB), Right Backs (RB and RWB), Left Backs (LB and LWB), Defending Midfielders (CDM), Midfielders (CM and CAM), Right Wingers (RM, RW and RF), Left Wingers (LM, LW and LF) and Strikers (CF and ST).

• Prices according to the date the guide was published

The players’ prices considered are according to the date this guide was published. The prices mentioned are merely for orientation.

 
 

 
 
 

Die Mannschaft (The team)

 

The German national squad are living their days of glory. Having now won 4 World Cups (1954, 1974, 1990 and 2014) while being number 1 in the FIFA major ranking, after 18 participations they managed to make all the hard work worthwhile on this year’s Brazil Cup. The four times world champion arrives as favourite to win the 2016 UEFA Euro, which has already given them 3 trophies (1972, 1980 and 1996) from a total of 11 participations. The expectations are high.

Before the Brazil World Cup had even started EA Sports made simulations about results, top scorers and a possible champion. And guess who they bet on? Germany. But in the event Miroslav Klose would be the one to score a late goal against the hosts to make themselves champions after the 1-1. Klose didn’t only leave his name on history virtually, he actually managed to beat Ronaldo, the phenomenom’s 15 goals streak on World Cups scoring his 16th against Brazil on the semifinals, and that made him the player who scored the most goals in the competition. He has now scored 71 goals on total for the German national squad. This record break got him an extremely rare special card on UT.

After another world title, new record breakers and differentiated tactical systems, German football has conquered several new fans around the world. In this line of thought we decided to make this guide in order to demonstrate and specify all the strong points a squad of this nationality has got.

 
 

 
 
 

German Goalkeepers in FUT 15 (GK)

 

The goalkeeper is usually the last player you buy for your squad in Ultimate Team. The right goalkeeper choice is crucial to create a solid defence and avoid conceding goals.

The most requested goalie in the Bundesliga is considered by many the best of the game, Manuel Neuer, indispensable for the German national squad. Therefore he’s very expensive, of course, but it does pay off. René Adler and Roman Weidenfeller are the two other remarkable German goalkeepers that come right after.

 

GOALKEEPERS WITH BEST RATINGS
Manuel Neuer	90	Bayern München
Roman Weidenfeller	83	Borussia Dortmund
René Adler	82	Hamburger SV
Marc-André ter Stegen	82	FC Barcelona
Bernd Leno	82	Bayer 04 Leverkusen
Kevin Trapp	80	Eintracht Frankfurt
Ron-Robert Zieler	79	Hannover 96
Sven Ulreich	79	VfB Stuttgart
Oliver Baumann	78	1899 Hoffenheim
Ralf Fahrmann	77	FC Shalke 04
Raphael Schafer	76	FC Nuremberg
Tom Starke	76	Bayern München
Thomas Kraft	75	Hertha BSC

 

Two attributes are essential for when you look for a goalkeeper: reflexes and diving. The first one measures the keeper’s agility when making a clearance. Manuel Neuer, René Adler and Marc-André ter Stegen, who recently got transferred to the liga BBVA, have the best reflexes.

 

GOALKEEPERS WITH BEST REFLEXES
Manuel Neuer	86	Bayern München
René Adler	85	Hamburger SV
Marc-André ter Stegen	85	FC Barcelona
Kevin Trapp	84	Eintracht Frankfurt
Sven Ulreich	84	VfB Stuttgart
Thomas Kraft	84	Hertha BSC
Bernd Leno	83	Bayer 04 Leverkusen
Ralf Fahrmann	83	FC Shalke 04
Roman Weidenfeller	82	Borussia Dortmund
Ron-Robert Zieler	81	Hannover 96
Oliver Baumann	81	1899 Hoffenheim
Tom Starke	80	Bayern München
Raphael Schafer	77	FC Nuremberg

 

Manuel Neuer is still the goalkeeper with the best diving, followed by René Adler and Marc-André ter Stegen.

 

GOALKEEPERS WITH BEST DIVING
Manuel Neuer	87	Bayern München
René Adler	85	Hamburger SV
Marc-André ter Stegen	83	FC Barcelona
Roman Weidenfeller	82	Borussia Dortmund
Bernd Leno	82	Bayer 04 Leverkusen
Kevin Trapp	81	Eintracht Frankfurt
Ron-Robert Zieler	81	Hannover 96
Sven Ulreich	81	VfB Stuttgart
Oliver Baumann	80	1899 Hoffenheim
Ralf Fahrmann	79	FC Shalke 04
Thomas Kraft	79	Hertha BSC
Raphael Schafer	78	FC Nuremberg
Tom Starke	78	Bayern München

 

Besides these attributes, height is crucial as well. Out of the three tallest German keepers, Bayern Munich has got two, Tom Starke and Manuel Neuer, but none of them top Ralf Fahrmann who recently became gold.

 

TALLEST GOALKEEPERS
Ralf Fahrmann	196	FC Shalke 04
Tom Starke	194	Bayern München
Manuel Neuer	193	Bayern München
Sven Ulreich	192	VfB Stuttgart
René Adler	191	Hamburger SV
Bernd Leno	190	Bayer 04 Leverkusen
Raphael Schafer	190	FC Nuremberg
Marc-André ter Stegen	189	FC Barcelona
Kevin Trapp	189	Eintracht Frankfurt
Roman Weidenfeller	188	Borussia Dortmund
Ron-Robert Zieler	188	Hannover 96
Oliver Baumann	187	1899 Hoffenheim
Thomas Kraft	187	Hertha BSC

 

Just like it was for Joachim Löw, defining our German goalkeeper is going to be easy. Manuel Neuer is our absolute right choice. He’s the best on reflexes and diving, plus his height is excellent for a goalie and he’s great at ball reposition. René Adler is a good alternative for also being excellent on the attributes we’ve highlighted. Barcelona’s recent sign André ter Stegen is also a remarkable one. As a cheaper choice, the name is Bernd Leno.

German Centre Backs in FUT 15 (CB)

 

The defensive system becomes more effective as long as there are quality centre backs there to prevent the opponent from progressing to your goal. Mats Hummels and Jérôme Boateng are given the highlight in the German defense line.

 

CENTRE BACKS WITH BEST RATING
Mats Hummels	86	Borussia Dortmund
Jérôme Boateng	85	Bayern München
Per Mertesacker	83	Arsenal
Benedikt Höwedes	82	FC Schalke 04
Holger Badstuber	80	Bayern München
Serdar Tasci	77	Spartak Moskva
Shkodran Mustafi	77	Valencia CF
Matthias Ginter	77	Borussia Dortmund
Robert Huth	76	Stoke City
Tony Jantschke	76	Borussia M’gladbach
Philipp Wollscheid	76	FSV Mainz 05
Heiko Westermann	75	Hamburger SV
Daniel Schwaab	75	VfB Stuttgart
Robin Knoche	75	VfL Wolfsburg

 

Defending and the new attribute, Physicality, which represents strength, resistance and jumping, are the two most important attributes for a centre back. The higher these attributes, the higher are the chances you have to stop the opponent’s attack. Bundesliga’s star Mats Hummels couldn’t stay out of our reference list on this.

 

CENTRE BACKS WITH BETTER DEFENSIVE SKILLS
Mats Hummels	88	Borussia Dortmund
Per Mertesacker	87	Arsenal
Jérôme Boateng	83	Bayern München
Benedikt Höwedes	83	FC Schalke 04
Holger Badstuber	80	Bayern München
Shkodran Mustafi	80	Valencia CF
Matthias Ginter	80	Borussia Dortmund
Serdar Tasci	78	Spartak Moskva
Tony Jantschke	78	Borussia M’gladbach
Philipp Wollscheid	78	FSV Mainz 05
Robert Huth	77	Stoke City
Daniel Schwaab	77	VfB Stuttgart
Robin Knoche	77	VfL Wolfsburg
Heiko Westermann	76	Hamburger SV

 

Having your defenders go out to the attack sometimes because of ball passing is something you can’t afford to do. We have the air balls as a solution for that, as in corners or free kicks, for example, either for defending or attacking. The changes we got on attributes are due to the importance these items have on defending. Roberth Huth continues being flawless on these points, but again followed by the popular duo Jérôme Boateng and Mats Hummels.

 

CENTRE BACKS WITH BEST PHYSICALL
Robert Huth	86	Stoke City
Jérôme Boateng	82	Bayern München
Mats Hummels	78	Borussia Dortmund
Benedikt Höwedes	78	FC Schalke 04
Philipp Wollscheid	78	FSV Mainz 05
Heiko Westermann	78	Hamburger SV
Per Mertesacker	76	Arsenal
Shkodran Mustafi	76	Valencia CF
Matthias Ginter	76	Borussia Dortmund
Holger Badstuber	74	Bayern München
Serdar Tasci	74	Spartak Moskva
Tony Jantschke	71	Borussia M’gladbach
Robin Knoche	71	VfL Wolfsburg
Daniel Schwaab	69	VfB Stuttgart

 

Despite pace not being the proper attribute for centre backs, having at least one fast centre back to fill in your defense is essential. Jérôme Boateng is by far the best, followed by the not very well known Daniel Schwaab and Tony Jantschke.

 

FASTEST CENTRE BACKS
Jérôme Boateng	77	Bayern München
Daniel Schwaab	73	VfB Stuttgart
Tony Jantschke	72	Borussia M’gladbach
Shkodran Mustafi	68	Valencia CF
Robin Knoche	68	VfL Wolfsburg
Heiko Westermann	67	Hamburger SV
Mats Hummels	66	Borussia Dortmund
Benedikt Höwedes	66	FC Schalke 04
Serdar Tasci	66	Spartak Moskva
Matthias Ginter	62	Borussia Dortmund
Holger Badstuber	59	Bayern München
Robert Huth	51	Stoke City
Philipp Wollscheid	51	FSV Mainz 05
Per Mertesacker	34	Arsenal

 

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 Mats Hummels. As for who should be his mate(s), the suggestions are: Jérôme Boateng, Benedikt Höwedes and, as a more accessible choice, Holger Badstuber.

German Right Backs in FUT 15 (RB and RWB)

 

Full-backs are essential when it comes to stopping the opponent’s wide plays. However, their importance isn’t limited to defending only, they can also support the attack. On FIFA 14 our undoubted choice for the right back position was Philip Lahm, but now he’s become a CDM and we’ll need to analyse this more carefully. Our best choices’ overalls are very similar, so we’ll need to go deeper on the attributes that really matter for this position.

 

RIGHT BACKS WITH BEST RATINGS
Kevin Grosskreutz	77	Borussia Dortmund
Sebastian Jung	77	VfL Wolfsburg
Christian Trasch	76	VfL Wolfsburg
Sascha Riether	75	SC Freiburg
Patrick Ochs	75	VfL Wolfsburg

 

Pace and defending are the most important attributes for these players. Just like the overalls between our players, these attributes have minimum difference to each other, and we have Sebastian Jung on the spotlight.

 

RIGHT BACKS WITH BETTER DEFENSIVE SKILLS
Sebastian Jung	75	VfL Wolfsburg
Kevin Grosskreutz	74	Borussia Dortmund
Christian Trasch	74	VfL Wolfsburg
Sascha Riether	74	SC Freiburg
Patrick Ochs	73	VfL Wolfsburg

 

Due to the enormous quantity of players focusing on dominating the midfield there already is, we’ll need fast players in order to use the wings. Kevin Grosskreutz is our first choice on this side.

 

FASTEST RIGHT BACKS
Kevin Grosskreutz	80	Borussia Dortmund
Sebastian Jung	78	VfL Wolfsburg
Patrick Ochs	77	VfL Wolfsburg
Sascha Riether	76	SC Freiburg
Christian Trasch	72	VfL Wolfsburg

 

Although he doesn’t surpass the concurrence by far on most attributes, his passing, shooting and physicality are remarkable. Sebastian Jung is a good alternative. If you don’t have enough money, Sascha Riether is the cheapest choice.

German Left Backs in FUT 15 (LB and LWB)

 

Players of this position function in the same way as the right backs. Marcel Schmelzer is the most popular one for the nationality.

 

LEFT BACKS WITH BETTER RATING
Marcel Schmelzer	78	Borussia Dortmund
Marcell Jansen	77	Hamburger SV
Dennis Aogo	76	FC Schalke 04
Marcel Schafer	75	VfL Wolfsburg
Bastian Oczipka	75	Eintracht Frankfurt

 

Dortmund’s left back is also the best one as for the defending attribute. Marcell Jansen beats him on pace, though.

 

LEFT BACKS WITH BETTER DEFENSIVE SKILLS
Marcel Schmelzer	79	Borussia Dortmund
Marcell Jansen	75	Hamburger SV
Marcel Schafer	74	VfL Wolfsburg
Dennis Aogo	74	FC Schalke 04
Bastian Oczipka	73	Eintracht Frankfurt

 
 

FASTEST LEFT BACKS
Marcell Jansen	80	Hamburger SV
Marcel Schmelzer	77	Borussia Dortmund
Dennis Aogo	77	FC Schalke 04
Bastian Oczipka	71	Eintracht Frankfurt
Marcel Schafer	70	VfL Wolfsburg

 

Marcell Jansen is our choice for a german squad. The big guy (1,91m tall) has got the best characteristics only except for Schmelzer’s defending. Marcel Schafer is our cheapest choice.

German Defending Midfielders in FUT 15 (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. Due to his frequent positioning in the midfield, Philipp Lahm stopped being and RB and became a CDM. Philipp Lahm, Sami Khedira and Sven Bender are the references on this position.

 

DEFENDING MIDFIELDERS WITH BETTER RATING
Philipp Lahm	87	Bayern München
Sami Khedira	84	Real Madrid
Sven Bender	81	Borussia Dortmund
Sebastian Kehl	78	Borussia Dortmund
Simon Rolfes	78	Bayer 04 Leverkusen
Stefan Reinartz	78	Bayer 04 Leverkusen
Daniel Baier	77	FC Augsburg
Sebastian Rode	77	Bayern München
Christoph Kramer	77	Borussia M’gladbach
Roman Neustadter	76	FC Schalke 04
Marco Hoger	76	FC Schalke 04
Johannes Geis	76	FSV Mainz 05
Manuel Schmiedebach	75	Hannover 96

 

In order for them to become your first defense line, the defending midfielders require excellent defending capacity. Philipp Lahm is unbeatable on the defending attribute, followed by Sven Bender and Sami Khedira.

 

DEFENDING MIDFIELDERS WITH BETTER DEFENDING SKILLS
Philipp Lahm	87	Bayern München
Sven Bender	84	Borussia Dortmund
Sami Khedira	83	Real Madrid
Stefan Reinartz	82	Bayer 04 Leverkusen
Sebastian Kehl	79	Borussia Dortmund
Simon Rolfes	78	Bayer 04 Leverkusen
Christoph Kramer	76	Borussia M’gladbach
Sebastian Rode	75	Bayern München
Marco Hoger	75	FC Schalke 04
Daniel Baier	74	FC Augsburg
Roman Neustadter	74	FC Schalke 04
Manuel Schmiedebach	74	Hannover 96
Johannes Geis	73	FSV Mainz 05

 

The center of the field is where several challenges will naturally happen. The player’s physicality is crucial when it comes to performing successful tackles and winning the ball to eventually start a counter attack, for example. Sami Khedira is the best on this side. Philipp Lahm, however, is quite the disappointment.

 

DEFENDING MIDFIELDERS WITH BETTER PHYSICALL
Sami Khedira	86	Real Madrid
Stefan Reinartz	85	Bayer 04 Leverkusen
Sven Bender	82	Borussia Dortmund
Marco Hoger	80	FC Schalke 04
Johannes Geis	77	1.      FSV Mainz 05
Sebastian Kehl	76	Borussia Dortmund
Christoph Kramer	76	Borussia M’gladbach
Simon Rolfes	75	Bayer 04 Leverkusen
Roman Neustadter	75	FC Schalke 04
Sebastian Rode	75	Bayern München
Manuel Schmiedebach	75	Hannover 96
Daniel Baier	71	FC Augsburg
Philipp Lahm	67	Bayern München

 

Despite being quite slow, Sami Khedira is our choice because he’s got the essential qualities for a CDM. You can also go for Philipp Lahm, an excellent alternative, but you’ll still need a lot of money to afford him. Sven Bender comes right after. Stefan Reinartz is our cheapest choice.

German Midfielders in FUT 15 (CM and CAM)

 

These are among the best players in the world for this position in the field. We have excellent passers, finishers and dribblers. Those are the most relevant characteristics for the playmakers.

 

CENTRE MIDFIELDERS WITH BETTER RATING
Bastian Schweinsteiger	88	Bayern München
Mesut Ozil	86	Arsenal
Mario Gotze	85	Bayern München
Toni Kroos	85	Real Madrid
Ilkay Gundogan	83	Borussia Dortmund
Lars Bender	81	Bayer 04 Leverkusen

Aaron Hunt	78	VfL Wolfsburg
Christian Gentner	78	VfB Stuttgart
Lewis Holtby	77	Hamburger SV
Marko Marin	77	Fiorentina
Alexander Meier	76	Eintracht Frankfurt
Sebastian Rudy	76	1899 Hoffenheim
Jens Hegeler	75	Hertha BSC
Maximilian Arnold	75	VfL Wolfsburg
Maximilian Meyer	75	FC Schalke 04

 

The midfielders are usually the players who will make the last touch before the ball gets shot on target, which means assisting. Toni Kroos is the best player among the good ones in this aspect, but Mesut Ozil ad Bastian Schweinsteiger are almost equally brilliant.

 

CENTRE MIDFIELDERS WITH BETTER PASSING
Toni Kroos	89	Real Madrid
Mesut Ozil	86	Arsenal
Bastian Schweinsteiger	85	Bayern München
Ilkay Gundogan	83	Borussia Dortmund
Mario Gotze	82	Bayern München
Gonzalo Castro	79	Bayer 04 Leverkusen

Sebastian Rudy	76	1899 Hoffenheim
Jens Hegeler	76	Hertha BSC
Lars Bender	75	Bayer 04 Leverkusen
Christian Gentner	75	VfB Stuttgart
Maximilian Meyer	71	FC Schalke 04
Maximilian Arnold	68	VfL Wolfsburg

 

Besides passing, dribbling is the element that will make your plays more effective and less predictable when infiltrating the opponent’s defence line. Mario Gotze is the absolute best german dribbler while being among the best ones in the game.

 

CENTRE MIDFIELDERS WITH BETTER DRIBBLING
Mario Gotze	89	Bayern München
Mesut Ozil	87	Arsenal
Ilkay Gundogan	86	Borussia Dortmund
Marko Marin	85	Fiorentina

Maximilian Meyer	83	FC Schalke 04
Bastian Schweinsteiger	82	Bayern München
Gonzalo Castro	81	Bayer 04 Leverkusen
Lewis Holtby	79	Hamburger SV
Aaron Hunt	78	VfL Wolfsburg
Sebastian Rudy	78	1899 Hoffenheim
Maximilian Arnold	77	VfL Wolfsburg
Lars Bender	73	Bayer 04 Leverkusen
Alexander Meier	72	Eintracht Frankfurt
Jens Hegeler	72	Hertha BSC
Christian Gentner	71	VfB Stuttgart

 

Five players stand out in this section and the choice will depend on your play style. Bastian Schweinsteiger has got balanced attributes and can also be used as a CDM, but that’ll depend on the squad’s budget as well. Toni Kroos and Mesut Ozil are excellent choices for assists. Mario Gotze stands out for being the player that can reach the opponent’s goal with ease. Ilkay Gundogan is the best cost benefit choice among those we judge the best.

German Right Wingers in FUT 15 (RM, RW and RF)

 

Players of this position are responsible for the wide attack plays. The german national squad’s right midfield is represented by one name: Thomas Muller.

 

RIGHT WINGERS WITH BETTER RATING
Thomas Muller	86	Bayern München
Sidney Sam	80	FC Schalke 04
Kevin Volland	79	1899 Hoffenheim
Patrick Ebert	78	Spartak Moskva

Nicolai Muller	77	Hamburger SV
Patrick Herrmann	76	Borussia M’gladbach
Stefan Aigner	76	Eintracht Frankfurt
Karim Bellarabi	75	Bayer 04 Leverkusen

 

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. Patrick Herrmann and Sidney Sam stand out with their 90 of pace.

 

FASTEST RIGHT WINGERS
Patrick Herrmann	91	Borussia M’gladbach
Sidney Sam	90	FC Schalke 04
Karim Bellarabi	89	Bayer 04 Leverkusen

Stefan Aigner	84	Eintracht Frankfurt
Thomas Muller	81	Bayern München
Kevin Volland	81	1899 Hoffenheim
Patrick Ebert	79	Spartak Moskva
Lars Stindl	76	Hannover 96

 

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. The german players are leveled in this attribute.

Karim Bellarabi	78	Bayer 04 Leverkusen
Lars Stindl	77	Hannover 96
Stefan Aigner	76	Eintracht Frankfurt

 

Besides the possibility of finishing on target, there’s another good option which involves giving assists. Thomas Muller is the one who does that the best.

Patrick Herrmann	71	Borussia M’gladbach
Nicolai Muller	70	Hamburger SV
Karim Bellarabi	70	Bayer 04 Leverkusen

 

The german young talent Thomas Muller is our choice because of his balanced stats, and also for his good shooting, high/high work rate and high stamina. Patrick Herrmann is the alternative, even though his passing might not be that satisfying. Lars Stindl is our cheapest choice.

German Left Wingers in FUT 15 (LM, LW and LF)

 

As they have the same role as the right midfielders, there are two very interesting names for this position: André Schurrle and the most eligible left midfield in the game, Marco Reus, also one of the best in the world. Julian Draxler is the new face for this position.

 

LEFT WINGERS WITH BETTER RATING
Marco Reus	86	Borussia Dortmund
André Schurrle	81	Chelsea
Julian Draxler	80	FC Schalke 04
Lukas Podolski	77	Arsenal
Daniel Caligiuri	76	VfL Wolfsburg

 

Marco Reus has got remarkable pace, he’s one of the fastest players in the game. He also rules as a dribbler.

For assists, Marco Reus is, once again, the best choice.

The left midfield position choice is going to be pretty easy, there is just no other name as good as this for the german national squad. Marco Reus is the best on the attributes you need the most for this position. André Schurrle is a good alternative for those who can’t afford Reus. Daniel Caligiuri is our cheapest choice.

German Forwards in FUT 15 (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.

 

FORWARDS WITH BETTER RATING
Mario Gomez	82	Fiorentina
Miroslav Klose	81	Lazio
Stefan Kießling/td>	81	Bayer 04 Leverkusen
Max Kruse	78	Borussia M’gladbach
Pierre-Michel Lasogga	78	Hamburger SV
Patrick Helmes	77	FC Koln
Kevin Kuranyi	76	Dinamo Moskva

 

Three attributes must be analyzed before you choose your top scorer: shooting, physicality and pace. Since most finishes will be shots, shooting is the most important one. Stefan Kießling has the best shooting for the german squad, he even beats famous players such as Mario Gomez and Miroslav Klose on that.

 

FORWARDS WITH BETTER SHOOTING
Stefan Kießling	83	Bayer 04 Leverkusen
Mario Gomez	82	Fiorentina
Patrick Helmes	81	FC Koln
Pierre-Michel Lasogga	80	Hamburger SV
Max Kruse	79	Borussia M’gladbach
Miroslav Klose	77	Lazio
Kevin Kuranyi	75	Dinamo Moskva

 

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.

Patrick Helmes	65	FC Koln
Miroslav Klose	64	Lazio

 

Depending on the tactics you use, for example, counter attack, having a fast striker will surely make your opponent worried. The German strikers stay really behind on pace when compared to their winger team mates.

 

FASTEST FORWARDS
Patrick Helmes	76	FC Koln
Mario Gomez	75	Fiorentina
Max Kruse	75	Borussia M’gladbach
Miroslav Klose	71	Lazio
Kevin Kuranyi	70	Dinamo Moskva
Stefan Kießling	66	Bayer 04 Leverkusen
Pierre-Michel Lasogga	63	Hamburger SV

 

Our german striker choice is due to the balanced division of attributes we consider necessary for the position. Super Mario is the man with these three characteristics. Stefan Kießling is an alternative although his pace is disappointing. Our cheapest choice will be Patrick Helmes.

FUT 15 German Squad Suggestions

 

Just like we said on the Leagues Guide and other previous chapters, building a squad depends on the player’s style, besides other conditions (budget, play time, tactics etc). The suggestions ahead are going to be the illustration of the analysis we’ve done previously, position by position.

The german squad gives us several possible formations due to the players’ quality. We chose the classic formations for our squad so you’re able to use their variations as well. Unlimited budget: 4-3-3. Medium budget: 4-4-2. Reduced budget: 3-5-2.

For the manager spot we don’t recommend the best name, but the best price. If you already have all maximum individual chemistries you can abdicate yourself from buying one.

• Budget

733,7 k coins (598 + 135,7k)

• Summary

Based on the previous analysis we chose the players for this squad.
Manuel Neuer is for many the best goalkeeper option in the game. Mats Hummels is an excellent defender and Jérôme Boateng makes up for his slowness as a defense mate. Kevin Grosskreutz is the new face in this squad. On the other side, Marcell Jansen helps out the defense since from now on it’s all quite advanced. Khedira and Ilkay Gundogan are excellent defending midfielders, both get the job done. We didn’t choose Philipp Lahm for his specialty is another, but due to his position change he might as well be an alternative according to your play style. The midfield is the big dispute in this squad, Ozil and Schweinsteiger are uncontestable, but you can also choose Toni Kroos or Mario Gotze because they’re equally good. The wingers are absolute, Thomas Muller and Marco Reus. In case something goes wrong, Shurrle and Sam are good alternatives. Gomez is the goal man of this team. If you prefer, Stefan Kiessling is not bad either.

134,2k coins (120,5k + 13,7k)

• Summary

Based on the previous analysis we chose the players for this squad.
We chose Neuer’s alternative, René Adler, for the goal. Höwedes takes Boateng’ place and Hummels was kept on the left. On the right we’ve got Sebastian Jung and on the left side is Marcell Jansen who still there. On the midfield there’s Gundogan, excellent cost-benefit, and Toni Kroos by his side. Sam and Shurrle support the midfield attacking by the wings. Two typical strikers compose the attack line for the classic formation.

• Budget

20.8k coins (11.6k + 9.2k)

• Summary

Based on the previous analysis we chose the players for this squad.
For what we can afford, Marc-André ter Stegen is the name for the goal. We’ve got defenders with reasonable defending capacity. Kehl stands out for his balance on the attributes we consider important for the position. Marin is great at dribbling but not so great at passing. The attack line and the wings could use some improvement in case you have a few coins left or manage to win some prizes.

 
 

 
 
 
 
 

Hybrid Squads

 

Building hybrid squads isn’t easy. On this guide’s perspective we understand that this play style does not match with the analysis we’ve done. If we get requests we’ll think about the possibility of building a few of these.
