Squad Suggestions


Building a team is the biggest challenge in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team. It doesn’t need to be the best team since the budget may not allow it, but it needs to be a team designed for your style and needs.

When choosing which players to play with, you must look carefully at their attributes. Choosing a team based on ratings is one of the most common mistakes. For each position, and focusing on the critical attributes, we’ll show you the best players to choose from.

It’s also important to check if the player you choose fits the formations you like to play in. For example, a good full-back will be useless if the player only uses a formation with three defenders.

Last, it would help if you tried to get the maximum chemistry possible. Most of the players base their squads on a single league or nation, but the most experienced ones can build hybrid teams without hurting chemistry.

To cover the needs of as many players as possible, we suggest three squads with different budgets and formations. But, please, keep in mind that we are not saying these are the best formations for this league. They are the generic formations used in all our squad guides.

Disclaimer Notes


This guide is based on our perception of the game, which may differ from yours. It should only be used as an orientation since it’s impossible to build a team that fits everyone. Besides that, there are several factors we don’t know that influence the choices, such as budget, formation, custom tactics, instructions, style of play, and player preferences.

Another vital point that must stay very clear to whoever is reading this guide, it’s about some criteria we used:

  • Only Gold Players
    Silver and bronze players are not taken into account in this guide. Most of them are not good enough to replace the gold ones.

  • Only Regular Players
    This guide does not consider IF and special items, including Icons and FUT Heroes. Most of them can’t be considered good value for money and should only be used by players with a reasonable budget.

  • Only Normal Players
    Upgraded or transferred items are not taken into account in this guide. Only players who have started their season in Bundesliga and with their original attributes were considered.

Unlimited Budget Squad

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.

If there are undoubted players in this team, Neuer is certainly one of them. He is clearly the best. He has the highest values in four of the six face stats.

Matthijs de Ligt and Emre Can are two fast center-backs that help keep your goal safe. You may disagree with us because Upamecano has great stats. We agree with you on that. However, he also has terrible work rates that may ruin your chances of keeping a clean sheet. Can, the most versatile player of this league, was an option to play as CDM leaving this spot free for another player, but we wouldn’t win anything with this since Goretzka cannot play as CAM.

In our opinion, the other spots of the defense should be filled with two ultra-fast players: Frimpong and Alphonso Davies.

Goretzka is one of the best players in Germany, so you cannot leave out on this team. Nkunku is the best player for the CAM position, but since there are not enough good strikers in the Bundesliga, we think it is better to use him as a striker and Reus behind him.

In formations with the CF position, we recommend using Mané in the middle, but since this one is not the case, we had to leave him playing as a left midfielder. On the other flank, Diaby is the best option. On the attack, Werner is the best option to team up with Nkunku. They are both fast and will play well together.

If you use these players, you won’t need a manager on your team since he will be useless while wasting contracts.

Medium Budget Squad

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 the back, Trapp will keep your goal safe. De Ligt and Klostermann are fast and solid centre-backs, supported on the left side by Raum and the right side by Frimpong.

Can is the perfect player for the center of the field. He has the muscle that every midfield needs and is also good at starting the attacks. Laimer and Gravenberch complete the midfield. On the wings, Gnabry and Sané are responsible for supporting Werner.

This squad was built with players whose price was under 15k coins on the release date. However, if you still have some room in your budget, Bellingham and Diaby 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 while wasting contracts.

Low Budget 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.

Kobel is not among the most popular goalkeepers, but he is our choice for the goal. It won’t be because of him you will lose. However, if you want someone better, you must invest a few coins and buy Casteels.

Baku, Schlotterbeck, Ndicka, and Raum complete the defense. You can also add quality to this defense, going to the transfer market and buying Gvardiol and Mazraoui.

In the midfield, Demirbay and Gravenberch complement each other well. Becker on the right and Angeliño on the left fill the wings to assist Thuram and André Silva. If you are not confident with them, try to bring Malen to your team.

This squad was built with players whose price was under 1k coins on the release date, and if you use these players, you won’t need a manager on your team.
