Introduction to the FUT 15 MLS Guide

 

Building a team is the biggest challenge in FIFA 15 Ultimate Team. It doesn’t need to be the best team, even because the budget may not allow it, but it needs to be the player’s stature for him to obtain success.

When choosing which players to play with, you will have to look carefully at their attributes. Choosing a team based on ratings is one of the most common mistakes on FUT 15. It’s precisely this aspect that this guide focuses on. For each position, and focusing on the truly important attributes, we’ll show who are the best athletes to choose.

It’s also important that the player checks to see if the player he chooses fits the formations he likes to play in. For example, a good full back will be useless if the player only uses formations with three defenders. According to those formations, the player must be cautious to look at the work rates, trying to relate them with the ones we advise in our Formations Guide.

Last but not least, it’s mandatory that you tune all of your team so that the individual and team chemistry be as high possible. For this last step to be easier, the majority of the players start to define the type of team they’re building. Some choose gathering players of the same nationality, while others decide to form a team of players from the same league. The most popular league is the Barclays Premier League. There are also more experienced players that can form hybrid teams without damaging the chemistry a lot.

All of these steps are necessary to have; it could be that the team is not always well built as it could’ve been. This article aims to help those that think or want to form a FIFA 15 Ultimate Team based on players from the MLS. Even the ones have one, could take out some valuable conclusion from this guide that could help turn your team even better.

It’s important that the readers understand that this guide is simply guidance. It’s a theme too vast and the player’s combinations are almost infinite. Besides, there are various factors that influence the choices, like it’s one’s style of play, the formations used, the available budget, the preferences or even the time spent playing. There’s still one uncertain component: a good player for someone might not be for another. If there was a better team everyone would fight to get it. Part of the fun of FIFA 15 Ultimate Team is this: everyone has their personal club and players.

Another important point and that must stay very clear is that whoever is reading this guide, it’s about some criteria we chose and should be of everyone’s knowledge:

Only Gold and Silver Players

In this guide we didn’t consider bronze player. Most players don’t assume them to be a better option than gold and silver players, so to simplify the guide’s analysis we didn’t include them. In the future we may come to publish guides exclusively talking about this category.

Only Regular Players

In this guide we didn’t consider In Forms (IF). They’re extremely expensive and in most cases are not considered good value for money. They should only be used by players with generous budgets, that already have the best team possible and that want small upgrades.

Included Winter Transfers and Upgrades

In this guide we included the players that have been transferred to other clubs in the 2015 Winter transfer window or that have been reviewed (UP). Only players that started their season in the MLS and with their original attributes were considered.

Only Original Attributes

In this guide we didn’t consider changes made on a players performance such happens when applying training or chemistry styles cards.

Position analysis

To make the comprehension of this guide easier we divided the players in nine distinct groups in order of their original position: Goalkeeper (GK), central backs (CB), right backs (RB and RWB), left backs (LB and LWB), central defensive midfielders (CDM) central midfielders (CM and CAM), right midfielders (RM, RW and RF), left midfielders (LM, LW and LF) and forwards (CF and ST).

Prices at the date of publication of the guide

In the chapter where FIFA 15 Ultimate Team MLS teams are suggested, the prices considered are the ones of March 2015. It’s natural that the prices have suffered some oscillations throughout the season, so they should only be considered as guiding prices.

 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 

MLS

 

Established in 1993, the main soccer league of the United States of America and Canada (USSF – United States Soccer Federation and CSA – Canadian Soccer Association, respectively) started only in 1996 with ten clubs divided by two conferences, Eastern (Columbus Crew, D.C. United, New England Revolution, New York/New Jersey Metrostars e Tampa Bay Mutiny) and Western (Colorado Rapids, FC Dallas, Kansas City Wizards, Los Angeles Galaxy e San Jose Clash). Years later many changes were made and unmade: the conferences creation, team buying and selling, new rules and club names. Currently the MLS consists of 20 clubs divided in two conferences: the Eastern Conference with Chicago Fire, Columbus Crew SC, D.C. United, Montreal Impact, New England Revolution, New York City FC, New York Red Bulls, Orlando City SC, Philadelphia Union and Toronto FC and the Western Conference with Colorado Rapids, FC Dallas, Houston Dynamo, LA Galaxy, Portland Timbers, Real Salt Lake, San Jose Earthquakes, Seattle Sounders FC, Sporting Kansas City and Vancouver Whitecaps.

Out of the 19 MLS editions we’ve had so far, the clubs with the most trophies are Los Angeles Galaxy (5) and D.C. United (4), while Galaxy are the current champions.

The league is composed in the following way: the regular season with home and away games, followed by playoffs between the best of each conference which are led into a single MLS Cup game to define the big champion of the season.

The most notorious transfers for the beginning of the season are currently David Villa move to New York City FC, Kaká to Orlando City, Sebatian Giovinco, Damien Perquis, Benoît Cheyrou and Jozy Altidore transfers to Toronto FC, Marcelo Sarvas to Colorado Rapids, Sacha Kljestan to New York Redbulls, Marco Donadel to Montreal Impact, David Accam to Chicago Fire and Markus Halsti to Halsti.

With the current investment, the MLS can be projected as one of the main worldwide football leagues. A few points indicate such evolution: the signing of many players well-known worldwide, increase of fans on stadiums and season ticket holders every other season, significant capital application on both main league clubs and smaller clubs. This way, it won’t be that shocking if the new main football scenario turns away to Uncle Sam’s land in a few years.

 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 

FUT 15 MLS Goalkeepers (GK)

 

Goalkeepers are the players that are less used on field. Because of this they are also the disdained when building a team. Most players start their purchases with a forward, later they strengthen the midfield the defence and only later the goal. The truth is a good goalkeeper may be worth a lot of goals. It’s good investment because they’re normally the most economically accessible players.

Nick Rimando is the most popular goalkeeper of this league.

 

MOST HIGH-RATED GOALKEEPERS
Nick Rimando	74	Real Salt Lake	United States
Raïs M’Bolhi	71	Philadelphia	Algeria
Jaime Penedo	71	LA Galaxy	Panama
Steve Clark	70	Columbus Crew	United States
Rául Fernández	69	FC Dallas	Peru
Luis Marin	69	Sporting KC	Chile
Donovan Ricketts	68	Portland	Jamaica
Bill Hamid	68	D. C. United	United States
Luis Robles	68	NY Red Bulls	United States
Andy Gruenebaum	67	Sporting KC	United States

 

When choosing a good goalkeeper it’s not only down to his rating. There are two fundamental attributes for choosing a good goalkeeper: reflexes and diving.

Raïs M’Bolhi is the goalkeeper with best reflexes. In MLS, nobody is better than him.

 

GOALKEEPERS WITH BEST REFLEXES
Raïs M’Bolhi	79	Philadelphia	Algeria
Nick Rimando	77	Real Salt Lake	United States
Steve Clark	77	Columbus Crew	United States
Jaime Penedo	76	LA Galaxy	Panama
Donovan Ricketts	76	Portland	Jamaica
Bill Hamid	75	D. C. United	United States
Luis Robles	75	NY Red Bulls	United States
Sean Johnson	74	Chicago Fire	United States
Rául Fernández	74	FC Dallas	Peru
Joe Bendik	72	Toronto FC	United States

 

Diving is a fundamental attribute when choosing a goalkeeper. It measures the capacity for a goalkeeper to make a save when jumping.

GOALKEEPER WITH BEST DIVING
Nick Rimando	76	Real Salt Lake	United States
Jaime Penedo	75	LA Galaxy	Panama
Raïs M’Bolhi	72	Philadelphia	Algeria
Donovan Ricketts	71	Portland	Jamaica
Chris Seitz	71	FC Dallas	United States
Jeff Attinella	71	Real Salt Lake	United States
Steve Clark	70	Columbus Crew	United States
Bill Hamid	70	D. C. United	United States
Rául Fernández	70	FC Dallas	Peru
David Ousted	70	Whitecaps FC	Denmark

 

The most experienced Ultimate Team players know that another leaning factor on a goalkeeper’s performance without considering the remaining four attributes: height. The more tall a goalkeeper is, better his chances of having a clean sheet.

Eric Kronberg is clearly the tallest goalkeeper playing in MLS.

 

TALLEST GOALKEEPERS
Eric Kronberg	195	Sporting KC	United States
Josh Saunders	193	New York City FC	Puerto Rico
Donovan Ricketts	193	Portland	Jamaica
Chris Seitz	193	FC Dallas	United States
Tally Hall	193	Houston Dynamo	United States
David Ousted	192	Whitecaps FC	Denmark
Joe Bendik	191	Toronto FC	United States
Bill Hamid	191	D. C. United	United States
Stefan Frei	191	Sounders FC	Switzerland
Joe Bendik	191	Toronto FC	United States

 

Nick Rimando is not a tall goalkeeper but he is the one with the best stats for this position, and for that reason he is our choice. Penedo is a good alternative while Raïs M’Bolhi is a cheap decent choice.

FUT 15 MLS Central Backs (CB)

 

A goalkeepers task is made easier if in front of him are quality central backs. Their function is to stop the opponent from getting dangerously close to your team’s goal.

Damien Perquis, from Toronto FC, is the centre back with higher overall rating.

 

HIGHEST RATED CENTRAL BACKS
Damien Perquis	75	Toronto FC	Poland
Omar Gonzalez	74	LA Galaxy	United States
Matt Besler	73	Sporting KC	United States
Raul Rodriguez	73	Houston Dynamo	Spain
Aurélien Collin	71	Sporting KC	France
Chad Marshall	71	Sounders FC	United States
Victor Bernárdez	70	SJ Earthquakes	Honduras
Liam Ridgewell	70	Portland	England
Steven Caldwell	70	Toronto FC	Scotland
Clarence Goodson	70	SJ Earthquakes	United States
Carlos Bocanegra	69	Chivas USA	United States
Matt Hedges	69	FC Dallas	United States
Andy O’Brien	69	Whitecaps FC	Ireland
Michael Parkhurst	69	Columbus Crew	United States
Bobby Boswell	69	D. C. United	United States

 

On a central back, two attributes assume particular importance on their performance: defending and heading.

A player with better defending will have an easier chance of dispossessing the opponent and avoid him reaching your box.

Once again, Damien Perquis has the best defensive skills, just like Matt Besler.

 

CENTRAL BACKS WITH BEST DEFENDING
Damien Perquis	75	Toronto FC	Poland
Matt Besler	75	Sporting KC	United States
Omar Gonzalez	74	LA Galaxy	United States
Carlos Valdés	73	Philadelphia	Colombia
Chad Marshall	72	Sounders FC	United States
Clarence Goodson	72	SJ Earthquakes	United States
Raul Rodriguez	72	Houston Dynamo	Spain
Steven Caldwell	71	Toronto FC	Scotland
Matt Hedges	71	FC Dallas	United States
Liam Ridgewell	70	Portland	England
Michael Parkhurst	70	Columbus Crew	United States
Aurélien Collin	69	Sporting KC	France
Bobby Boswell	69	D. C. United	United States
Chris Schuler	69	Real Salt Lake	United States
Andy O’Brien	68	Whitecaps FC	Ireland

 

The new physical attribute shows the old heading capability but also how likely the players are to win game with their body. This is a crucial attribute when looking for the best centre back.

Aurélien Collin and José Gonçalves are the centre backs with best physical in MLS.

 

CENTRAL BACKS WITH BEST PHYSICAL
Aurélien Collin	84	Sporting KC	France
José Gonçalves	84	New England	Portugal
Jámison Olave	83	NY Red Bulls	Colombia
Damien Perquis	83	Toronto FC	Poland
Omar Gonzalez	82	LA Galaxy	United States
Pa-Modou Kah	82	Portland	Norway
Victor Bernárdez	81	SJ Earthquakes	Honduras
Chad Marshall	79	Sounders FC	United States
Carlos Valdés	78	Philadelphia	Colombia
Ike Opara	77	Sporting KC	United States
Clarence Goodson	77	SJ Earthquakes	United States
Drew Moor	77	Colorado Rapids	United States
Doneil Henry	76	Toronto FC	Canada
Steven Caldwell	76	Toronto FC	Scotland
Jeff Parke	76	D. C. United	United States

 

Defending and heading may be useless against fast opponents. It’s necessary to fight fire with fire. No likes feeling impotent when seeing you get overrun by extremely fast players. Even though, in a way, centre backs aren’t that fast, every team needs one of these players with a high pace attribute.

Ike Opara is clearly the fastest one. It is not easy to find a centre back as fast as he is.

 

CENTRAL BACKS WITH BEST PACE
Ike Opara	86	Sporting KC	United States
Matt Besler	76	Sporting KC	United States
A.    J. DeLaGarza	74	LA Galaxy	Guam
Jámison Olave	74	NY Red Bulls	Colombia
Doneil Henry	73	Toronto FC	Canada
Liam Ridgewell	71	Portland	England
Pa-Modou Kah	70	Portland	Norway
Michael Parkhurst	68	Columbus Crew	United States
José Gonçalves	67	New England	Portugal
Drew Moor	67	Colorado Rapids	United States
Omar Gonzalez	66	LA Galaxy	United States
Carlos Valdés	66	Philadelphia	Colombia
Raul Rodriguez	65	Houston Dynamo	Spain
George John	64	FC Dallas	United States
Aurélien Collin	63	Sporting KC	France

 

Our defenders choice for the central defensive system shouldn’t be thought out just according to the attributes highlighted above. Formation is relevant because if you choose to play with three centre-backs it’s recommended that you have at least two reasonably fast players in there. In case you go for the usual two centre-backs assisted by full-backs, all the squad planning quite changes a bit. Our choice is Omar Gonzalez for he has good balance among the necessary attributes for the position. Matt Besler is an alternative. Our economic choice will be Damien Perquis.

FUT 15 MLS Right Backs (RB and RWB)

 

Full backs have the role of troubling the mission of the wingers. Not only. In addition, good full backs also support their team mates on offensive maneuvers.

Three players lead the overall ranking to this position: DeAndre Yedlin, Andrew Farrell and Sean Franklin.

 

HIGHEST RATED RIGHT BACKS
DeAndre Yedlin	68	Sounders FC	United States
Andrew Farrell	68	New England	United States
Sean Franklin	68	D. C. United	United States
Akira Kaji	67	Chivas USA	Japan
Hassoun Camara	66	Montreal Impact	France
Chance Myers	66	Sporting KC	United States
Bradley Orr	66	Toronto FC	England
Sheanon Williams	65	Philadelphia	United States
Zach Loyd	65	FC Dallas	United States
Kofi Sarkodie	65	Houston Dynamo	United States

 

There are very important attributes in any right back: defending and pace.

Since they’re defenders they should have good defending capacities. This reduces a team’s risk of conceding.

Andrew Farrell is the one that gives more security to the defence.

 

RIGHT BACKS WITH BEST DEFENDING
Andrew Farrell	69	New England	United States
Sean Franklin	67	D. C. United	United States
Akira Kaji	66	Chivas USA	Japan
Tony Beltran	66	Real Salt Lake	United States
Bradley Orr	66	Toronto FC	England
Chance Myers	65	Sporting KC	United States
Hassoun Camara	64	Montreal Impact	France
Zach Loyd	64	FC Dallas	United States
Kofi Sarkodie	64	Houston Dynamo	United States
Sheanon Williams	63	Philadelphia	United States

 

A flanked game tends to be faster than a game based in the middle of the field. The players that fill these spaces are obligated to be fast, both penetrating defensive and attacking moves of the team. Pace is one of the most important requirements for a good full back.

DeAndre Yedlin is the fastest right back playing in MLS.

 

RIGHT BACKS WITH BEST PACE
DeAndre Yedlin	93	Sounders FC	United States
Sean Franklin	84	D. C. United	United States
Kofi Sarkodie	84	Houston Dynamo	United States
Tony Beltran	84	Real Salt Lake	United States
Andrew Farrell	83	New England	United States
Sheanon Williams	81	Philadelphia	United States
Chance Myers	81	Sporting KC	United States
Zach Loyd	77	FC Dallas	United States
Hassoun Camara	74	Montreal Impact	France
Akira Kaji	74	Chivas USA	Japan

 

DeAndre Yedlin is undoubtedly the best right back playing on MLS. Sean Franklin is the best alternative to him and Andrew Farrell is our economic choice.

Best FUT 15 MLS Left Backs (LB e LWB)

 

Left backs have exactly the same role of their team mates on the other flank. In other words, they try to make a winger’s job hard and participate on the team’s offensive manoeuvres.

Justin Morrow is the most rated left back in MLS but Roy Miller and Seth Sinovic are also very close.

 

HIGHEST RATED LEFT BACKS
Justin Morrow	67	Toronto FC	United States
Roy Miller	66	NY Red Bulls	Costa Rica
Seth Sinovic	66	Sporting KC	United States
DaMarcus Beasley	65	Houston Dynamo	United States
Jair Benítez	65	FC Dallas	Colombia
Chris Tierney	65	New England	United States
Chris Klute	65	Columbus Crew	United States
Chris Wingert	65	Real Salt Lake	United States

 
 

Once again, Justin Morrow is better than the other left backs.

 

LEFT BACKS WITH BEST DEFENDING
Justin Morrow	67	Toronto FC	United States
Seth Sinovic	66	Sporting KC	United States
Chris Tierney	65	New England	United States
Chris Wingert	65	Real Salt Lake	United States
Chris Klute	64	Columbus Crew	United States
Jair Benítez	63	FC Dallas	Colombia
Roy Miller	61	NY Red Bulls	Costa Rica
DaMarcus Beasley	60	Houston Dynamo	United States

 
 

DaMarcus Beasley is the fastest left back playing in USA.

DaMarcus Beasley	85	Houston Dynamo	United States
Jair Benítez	80	FC Dallas	Colombia
Chris Klute	80	Columbus Crew	United States

Justin Morrow	72	Toronto FC	United States
Seth Sinovic	68	Sporting KC	United States
Chris Tierney	66	New England	United States
Chris Wingert	60	Real Salt Lake	United States

 

Our favourite to play in the left side of the defence is DaMarcus Beasley because he is the one with more balanced stats. Justin Morrow is our second choice and Chris Klute the economic one..

Best FUT 15 MLS Defensive Midfielder (CDM)

 

Many of the FIFA 15 Ultimate Team formations require some midfielders that have a natural aptitude to defend. Central defensive midfielders distinguish themselves for being especially aimed to help the more retreated line of their teams. According to their attributes and their work rates, they can also be useful for starting attacks. They are players that occupy a very strategic position in the field.

Jermaine Jones and Osvaldo Alonso are the three most popular CDM playing in Major League Soccer.

 

HIGHEST RATED CENTRAL DEFENSIVE MIDFIELDERS
Jermaine Jones	77	New England	United States
Osvaldo Alonso	76	Sounders FC	Cuba
Kyle Beckerman	74	Real Salt Lake	United States
Benoit Cheyrou	74	Toronto FC	France

Matías Laba	71	Whitecaps FC	Argentina
Marco Donadel	70	Montreal Impact	Italy
José Mari	69	Colorado Rapids	Spain
Diego Chará	68	Portland	Colombia
Perry Kitchen	68	D. C. United	United States
Hendry Thomas	68	FC Dallas	Honduras
Jeff Larentowicz	68	Chicago Fire	United States
Jorge Claros	67	Sporting KC	Honduras
Ricardo Clark	67	Houston Dynamo	United States
Michel	67	FC Dallas	Brazil

 

There are a variety of attributes in a central defensive midfielder that you have to give attention: defending, so that the first defender of team works; strength, so that you win all brawls on a prone area of the field; heading, to win possession in aerial moves like goal kicks; pace, so that you cover the most terrain on the field as possible; stamina, so they can equally participate in offensive a defensive moves (especially useful for players with high/high work rates); passing and possession so that he can properly start attacks. In our opinion the two first are the most important.

Normally using a central defensive midfielder is associated with having a deficit of elements in your defence. So, it makes sense that when you search for a player to occupy this position you’d want players that can defend.

Jermaine Jones is the highest rated CDM is MLS but also the one who has the best defensive skills.

 

CENTRAL DEFENSIVE MIDFIELDERS WITH BEST DEFENDING
Jermaine Jones	77	New England	United States

Michel	66	FC Dallas	Brazil
Agustín Pelletieri	65	Chivas USA	Argentina
Diego Chará	64	Portland	Colombia
Ricardo Clark	64	Houston Dynamo	United States

 

The area of the field occupied by the central defensive midfielders is the one where most ball dispute happen. Strong players will have a higher probability of winning the ball.

Jermaine Jones is a really great player, how can you see once again by his physical.

 

CENTRAL DEFENSIVE MIDFIELDERS WITH BEST PHYSICAL

Markus Halsti	82	D. C. United	Finland

Luis Garrido	74	Houston Dynamo	Honduras
Jorge Claros	73	Sporting KC	Honduras
Hendry Thomas	73	FC Dallas	Honduras

 

This one is easy. Jermaine Jones is our favourite.

Osvaldo Alonso is a decent alternative and Maurice Edu is a good value for money.

Best FUT 15 MLS Central Midfielders (CM e CAM)

 

A lot of games are decided on the midfield and not close to the goals. The players that play in these zones are the ones that should create the game and define its rhythm.

Best FUT 15 MLS Right Wingers (RM, RW e RF)

 

The wingers are responsible for giving game width in the attack. They’re normally very explosive players.

Vicente Sánchez and Oscar Boniek Garcíais are the MLS right wingers with best reputation.

 

HIGHEST RATED RIGHT WINGERS
Vicente Sánchez	72	Colorado Rapids	Uruguay

Yannick Djaló	69	SJ Earthquakes	Portugal
Lamar Neagle	68	Sounders FC	United States
Sebastien Le Toux	67	Philadelphia	France
Jackson	67	Toronto FC	Brazil

 

There are three fundamental attribute on a winger: pace, dribbling and passing.

Pace is probably the biggest weapon of these players. They use it to evade opponents and getting to the other side, many times through sprints on the side lines.

Yannick Djaló is a really fast player.

 

FASTEST RIGHT WINGERS
Yannick Djaló	88	SJ Earthquakes	Portugal

Teal Bunbury	82	New England	United States
Jackson	82	Toronto FC	Brazil
Justin Mapp	79	Montreal Impact	United States
Oscar Boniek García	78	Houston Dynamo	Honduras

 

Just being fast doesn’t cut it to reach the opponents box, having good dribbling to surpass the opponents’ players that appear on the way.

Mauro Rosales	72	Whitecaps FC	Argentina
Lloyd Sam	72	NY Red Bulls	Ghana
Marvin Chávez	71	Chivas USA	Honduras
Lamar Neagle	70	Sounders FC	United States

 

When reaching the opponents box the winger has to decide what to do. Normally, they choose to cross to the forwards. That is why it’s important for them to have good passing.

Mauro Rosales is the player with best passing skills.

 

RIGHT WINGERS WITH BEST PASSING
Mauro Rosales	74	Whitecaps FC	Argentina

Darlington Nagbe	66	Portland	Liberia
Yannick Djaló	62	SJ Earthquakes	Portugal
Lamar Neagle	62	Sounders FC	United States
Lloyd Sam	61	NY Red Bulls	Ghana

 

To us, Vicente Sánchez is the most balanced right winger. Darlington Nagbe is also a good player and Mauro Rosales is the right choice for low budget squads.

To score goals shooting is necessary. If either by foot or head, the most important attribute for a forward are: shooting, heading and pace.

Most goals are scored with the foot so good shooting is a necessary attribute for a forward.

Jermain Defoe is the strongest forward in this attribute.

MLS Team Suggestions

 

A lot of people think that this is the most important part of the guide. It’s not. The thing that is really important to know is how to choose player based on their role and style of play that fits each player. And that is made in the previous chapters. The team suggestions that follow are simple graphic indicators of what we wrote previously. They should serve merely as orientation because it’s impossible to build a team that fits everyone. They depend on various factors we don’t know such as budget, formation, style of play and player preferences.

To try and explore the needs of the maximum player as possible we suggest three teams with different budgets and formations: 4-1-2-1-2 with unlimited budget, 4-3-3 with medium budget and 4-4-2 with a low budget.

• Budget

• Summary

The choice for this team’s players was based on analysis made in the previous chapters.

Rimando is surprisingly good on the goal line although he seems a bit short. Penedo is a bit taller and has got similar attributes, naturally a good substitute option.

The central defenders will balance the defensive system with pace, physicality and good defending. The substitutes are slower, but they’ll do the job when needed. The starting full-backs are extremely fast, they’ll do a good job up front and still come back to defend. The substitutes are not so fast, but they’ve got better defending capacities.

The midfield is well balanced both among the starting eleven and the substitutes, we’ve got fast defending midfielders with good physicality and interceptions. The starting left and right midfielders aren’t as fast as the substitutes, but they’ve got the best qualities on other attributes (passing, shooting and dribbling). The central playmaker needs no introduction, he’s still of great help in the midfield despite the advanced age. His substitute is faster and has got enough dribbling to get past anyone.

The attackers are mixture of excellent attributes, for example, finishing, dribbling and agility.

• Summary

The choice for this team’s players was based on analysis made in the previous chapters.

Some players’ high prices determine significant changes, although the concurrence still doesn’t lack much quality.

Penedo is our reference. M’Bohli is a great substitute with excellent reflexes.

The centre-backs have got balanced defending capacity and physicality, however, they’re slow. The substitutes are mixture of pace, defending and physicality. Both the starting and substitute full-backs are great alternatives for the central defence support.

Bradley and Osvaldo have got regular physicality and defending capacity, giving space to Morales’ play making. In our second team Higuaín’s regularity and Edu’s interceptions stand out. Both the starting and substitute wingers are noticed for their pace and dribbling.

Both Martins and Giovinco are extremely pacey ones, great fit for this type of formation.

The choice for this team’s players was based on analysis made in the previous chapters.

The starting goalkeeper is M’Bohli, with great reflexes and low price. His substitute, Ricketts, is reasonable for the position, he’ll the job if needed.

The centre-backs are fast with good physicality. The full-backs are very fast, this is why they can support the central defence, plus a regular physicality, although they seem to lack defending capacity.
