Best FIFA 21 starter team
Choosing the best fifa 21 starter team is important to help you early in the game. Having played several games of fifa 21 we have created 2 cheap teams which are currently in division 3 and 4 of rivals. The first for just 20k and the second for 50k. Neither of the teams include our favourite striker under 1k due to chemistry but he is on the bench for both.
Our 6k team was doing ok but we needed better defenders and a good keeper. Recommend at least an 85 rated keeper in fifa 21 and also try and avoid the English Premier League to find better value. High stamina of players is recommended too. This year we will be adding lots of player reviews for all budgets including our favourite striker above. Also adding content creator reviews so keep an eye on our site and twitter.
Our FIFA 21 20k starter team
There is always great value to find with hidden gems in fifa. This year is no different with some beast op cheap fifa players. While playing lots of games testing players we noticed some amazing ones under 1k. If you avoid the top leagues and look at high rated players with less pace you can sign some big names too. Our first team is just 20k on playstation and up to 30k on Xbox. This has been lower but 83 rated and higher players do rise during SBCs.
Doubt many people would think about building the team above but it has everything you need in Fifa 21. Lots of pace and high dribbling ability, good work rates and players with needed traits. Usually our starter teams have a cheap high rated striker, players like Icardi with lots of good stats. However he was too slow turning and sprinting and we could beat keepers with lower rated shooting anyway. Because of that we have spent money in defence which is key.
The three Italians we chose in Serie A give a really good solid base. The Argentine midfielders have great stats and traits between them with lots of pace again. All good dribblers for 1-2 give and go, and taking on slower higher rated opponents. Full backs again lots of pace and to give high chemistry. A bonus is with the right chemistry styles these players become really op. Look at Fernandez below with gladiator added!
Our FIFA 21 50k starter team
Our 50k op team has a defence and keeper good enough for high divisions. These two centre backs are as good as you can get value wise. So for chemistry Handanovic is keeper by default. Which is great as he is one of the best keepers. You might think the fullbacks are just there for chemistry but not quite. If you look at Florenzi his stats are crazy impressive in every area. Bernat offers lots of attacking assistance but with backbone chemistry also becomes a very solid defender. Both have decent pace and stamina.
The midfield and attack again has some of our favourite cheap players in fifa 21. A top cdm is essential and there aren’t many better than Gueye. Aour and Verrati are superb on the ball with good movement and dribbling. Both have a killer through ball. Payet is just a god of a player for the value on fifa. His traits alone make him as good as 86+ rated players. Gelson Martins has the pace the skills and dribbling with high stamina. Again so important in fifa 21.
Striker we just wanted pace and skills with good weak foot. Can always bring on a super sub striker. Then upgrade to someone like Depay when in price range. Again look at how chem styles can make players beasts. Verrati with catalyst has insane stats and he can just sit making great passes or dribble round players and then release. You will notice that with such high passing ability he can create chances many other players might not. Having defensive positioning and tackling helps the team win the ball back too.
