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 La Liga and with their original attributes were considered.

Unlimited Budget Squad

FIFA 23 La Liga 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.

Courtois looks slightly better than Oblak in the goal, mainly because he is much taller. Both are amazing goalkeepers, and you will be in good hands with any of them.

No other league has so many quality options for the center-back position as La Liga. Antonio Rüdiger and Éder Militão are fast, strong, and have good defensive skills. If you don’t feel comfortable with the work rate of the German defender, you can replace him with Koundé.

Marcos Llorente is much better than any other right-back. We think you should use him in this position, where he is more valuable, leaving the right side of the midfield for Ousmane Dembélé.

Ferland Mendy is another player who has no competition in Spain. He’s the fastest and strongest left-back in this league.

No one is better than Franck Kessié protecting your back line. He is strong and has impressive defensive skills. In front of him, Fékir is good enough to create chances for your team.

If you have a good budget, you cannot leave Vinícius Jr out of this team, and the same is valid for the two on the front: Benzema and Lewandowski.

We used this formation not because we think it’s the best for this league but because it’s the default formation we use in all our league guides. Formations that won’t feature the CM position have the downside of not giving the chance to include one of the best players: Frenkie de Jong.

Medium 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.

The three best goalkeepers are too expensive for this team, so the best option is to use Bounou. As soon as you have a few coins left, use them to improve this position.

In our opinion, Ronald Araújo and Pau Torres are the best CBs under 15k coins playing in Spain. Jesús Navas and Jordi Alba, two fast players, are the right choices for fullbacks.

La Liga has many quality center midfielders, but at least six are too expensive for this team. That’s why we used the trio Pedri, Parejo, and Tchouaméni. The Villarreal midfielder has to play in the middle because of his pace, but, if you think you need someone faster, we recommend replacing him by Lemar.

Canales and Alejandro Gómez are good options for the wings, leaving the most advanced position for João Félix.

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, Ángel Correa would significantly improve this squad.

Low 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.

In the goal, Unai Simón is our favorite. Jesús Navas and Pau Torres are cheap enough to remain on the team. Berchiche and José María Giménez are the new additions to the defense.

In the midfield, Camavinga and Lemar complement each other well. Jesús Corona on the right and Matheus Cunha on the left fill the wings to assist Iñaki Williams and Ezequiel Ávila.

You will need to pay slightly more for the Athletic’s striker when compared to the other players, but it will be worth every cent. Especially if you like to play in counter-attacks, he will be lethal. He will team up on the front with Ezequiel Ávila, one of the worst players on this team. As soon as you have a few coins to invest, we recommend replacing him by Griezmann.

This squad was built with players whose price was under 1k coins on the release date. If you still have some space in your budget, Canales and Eden Hazard would fit perfectly on this team.

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