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 Ligue 1 and with their original attributes were considered.

Unlimited Budget Squad

FIFA 23 Ligue 1 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, Donnarumma is our favorite. Technically, he is as good as Keylor Navas but 11cm taller.

The choice of Marquinhos and Kimpembe for the center of the defense is pretty obvious. They are much better than any other center-back from this league. Hakimi and Nuno Mendes are great options for fullbacks.

Messi and Neymar Jr are the obvious choices for the wings, but things are more complicated in the center. Unfortunately, there isn’t a single top-quality player you can use as a defensive midfielder. Guendouzi is not a bad player, but he is far from the quality of the rest of the team.

In front of him, we suggest you use Verratti. He is not as fast as we would like, but there are not many players so good at passing and dribbling as he is.

In the front, Mbappé is confirmed as long as you can play his price, and we think Ben Yedder should play next to him. He is very good with the ball on his feet and knows how to put it on the net.

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: Renato Sanches. The team would look much better if we could replace Guendouzi with him.

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.

In the goal, Anthony Lopes is good enough to keep your goal safe. However, if you have a few coins to invest, you would be better with Keylor Navas.

This league has two excellent CBs, but the other ones are the worst of the five biggest leagues. In our opinion, Mbempa and Tiago Djaló are the ones you should use, supported by Mukiele and Nuno Mendes.

In the midfield, Verratti should play in the middle while Soler and Fofana use their pace to fill the other positions.

Finally, Nicolas Pépé and Terrier are good choices to play on the wings, leaving the most advanced position to Delort, a player that can score in several different ways.

This squad was built with players whose price was under 15k coins on the release date.

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.

Four of the five defenders are cheap enough to remain on the team. The exception is Nuno Mendes, who Bernat replaced. Our first choice was Ismaily, but he is out of the budget. If you have a few coins to invest, you can buy him.

For the same reason, the midfield has the same players, except Verratti, who had to leave since this formation has one less player in that field area.

Delort is the most advanced element of the team, but this time he has Jonathan David next to him. They play well together and may guarantee many goals for your team.

This squad was built with players whose price was under 1k coins on the release date. Excepting the most popular players, the prices of this league are low. That’s why there are not many differences between the medium and the low-budget squads.

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