Introduction to the FIFA 16 Serie A Guide
Building a team is the biggest challenge on FIFA 16 Ultimate Team. It doesn’t need to be the best team, because your budget may not allow it, but it is player’s stature that helps him 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 16. It’s precisely this aspect that this guide focuses on. For each position, and focusing on the truly important attributes, we’ll show you who are the best athletes to choose.
It’s also important that you check to see if the player you choose fits the formations you like to play in. For example, a good full back will be useless if you only use a formation with three defenders. According to these formations, you must be cautious and look at the work rate. Try 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 will 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 to gather players of the same nationality, while others decide to form a team of players from the same league. There are also more experienced players that can form hybrid teams without damaging team chemistry a lot.
All of these steps are necessary to have; or it could mean that the team is not always well built as it could be. This article aims to help those that want to form a FIFA 16 Ultimate Team based on players from the Serie A. Even the players that have a Serie A team, could take out some valuable conclusions from this guide that could help them make their team even better.
We received thousands of comments about similar guides that we have published in previous years. Most of them have asked us to help improve their teams and the players they had. It’s important that the readers understand that this guide is simply guidance. It’s a theme too vast and the player combinations are almost infinite. Besides, there are various factors that influence the choices, like 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 16 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 the criteria we chose and should be of everyone’s knowledge:
- In this guide we didn’t consider silver or bronze players. Most players don’t assume them to be a better option than gold 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 these categories.
- 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.
- In this guide we didn’t consider players that have been transferred to other clubs or that have been reviewed (UP). Only players that started their season in the Serie A and with their original attributes were considered.
- In this guide we didn’t consider changes made on a players performance such happens when applying training or chemistry styles cards.
- 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).
- In the chapter where FIFA 16 Ultimate Team Serie A teams are suggested, the prices considered are the ones of the date of the guide’s publication: October 2015. It’s natural that they have suffered some peaks and troughs throughout the season, so they should only be considered as guiding prices.
Serie A
The Serie A is one of the most competitive leagues in the world, but the football is not as spectacular as it is in UK, Spain or Germany.
The qualification of the champion is made through the made points system. Whichever team gathers the most points wins the league. The first three classified teams gain access to the champions league of the next year, while the fourth and fifth qualify for the Europa League and the last three trade places with the first three qualified from the Serie B. Every season starts in September and finishes in May, having 38 game weeks with ten matches each, being a total of 380 matches per season.
The Serie A is the fourth best league classified in the UEFA league coefficients.
Started in 1898, the Italian league has been conquered by sixteen clubs. The dominant club is Juventus, with a total of 31 titles. AC Milan (18), Inter (18) and Genova (9) are the other teams that have won numerous titles.
As to last season, the Serie A lost some good players such as El Sharaawy (Monaco), Yanga-Mbiwa (Lyon), A. Rami and F. Llorente (Sevilla), Joaquín and Juan Vargas (Real Betis), S. Savic (Atlético de Madrid), M. Essien (Panathinaikos), Micah Richards (Aston Villa), J. Holebas and Victor Ibarbo (Watford), X. Shaqiri (Stoke City), A. Ogbonna (West Ham), G. Inler (Leicester), Eduardo Vargas (Hoffenheim), S. Doumbia (CSKA Moscow), Mario Gomez (Besiktas) and Javier Saviola (River Plate). But, the biggest out transfers were the move of Kovacic from Inter to Real Madrid by 35 million Euros and Carlos Tévez from Juventus to Boca Juniors by 6 million Euros.
These transfers didn’t necessarily make the Serie A weaker. The Italian teams spent many million Euros on strong reinforcements: Mario Balotelli, Luiz Adriano and Carlos Bacca (AC Milan), Gerson, W. Szczesny, M. Salah and E. Dzeko (Roma), Rafael Tolói (Atalanta), J. Blaszczykowski and Kalinic (Fiorentina), Ansaldi and Diego Capel (Geona), Felipe Melo, S. Jovetic, Miranda, Kondogbia and I. Perisic (Inter), Cuadrado and Khedira (Juventus), Milinkovic and Ricardo Kishna (Lazio). But the biggest transfers of the season happened in Turin. Manzukic and Alex Sandro joined Serie A by 45 million Euros.
Serie A is a good choice for those who are looking for quality players, but don’t have a large budget. There is not many choices, but the players in Serie A are probably the best value for money.

Best FIFA 16 Serie A Goalkeepers
GK
Goalkeepers are the players that are used least on the field. Because of this they are also first ignored 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. They are a good investment because they are normally the most economically accessible players.
The goalkeepers with most prestige in the Serie A are the charismatic Gianluigi Buffon, the new signing Diego López and the Slovenian National team goalkeeper Samir Handanovič. With having the best rating they are also the most searched for by this league’s teams so this makes them more expensive.

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.

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.
The Serie A goalkeepers are very tall. From the twenty one goalies, fourteen have at least 190cm. Željko Brkić is the tallest one, 9cm taller than Mattia Perin.

The choice for the best Serie A goalkeeper on FIFA 16 Ultimate Team is really easy.
In the five most important attributes, Samir Handanovič is the best in two and one of the best in other the three. Only Buffon can be compared to him. Mattia Perin was the good surprise of the year, while Neto is the economic choice.

A goalkeepers task is made easier if in front of him are quality centre backs. Their function is to stop the opponent from getting dangerously close to your team’s goal.
Giorgio Chiellini is by far the centre back with the best reputation in the Serie A.

With a centre back, two attributes assume particular importance on their performance: defending and the new attribute physical, which represents strength, stamina, aggression and jumping.
A player with better defending will have an easier chance of dispossessing the opponent and avoid him reaching your box.
It’s the case of the best rated players: Giorgio Chiellini, Miranda and Andrea Barzagli. It’s really hard to get past hem. The most experienced players are normally those who have a higher rating on this attribute..

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.
In this chapter Chiellini and Kalidou Koulibaly are the strongest ones.

Defending and heading may be useless against fast opponents. It’s necessary to fight fire with fire. No one 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.
Martín Cáceres is the fastest gold centre back in the world. But there are other fast players in Serie A, like Juan Jesus, Antonio Rüdiger and Manolas.

Giorgio Chiellini is our number one choice for this position. He is fast and the one with better defending stats. The Juventus’ defender is the most expensive of all centre backs in Serie A.
Manolas is slightly better than Miranda, especially in pace and work rates, while Alex or Vidic can only be useful in squads with three centre backs.
Juan Jesus is our economic choice. He is fast and has good defending and physical stats.

There are very important attributes for any right back: defending and pace.
Since they’re defenders they should have good defending capacities. This reduces a team’s risk of conceding.
In Italy, no one defends as well as Lichtsteiner and Basta.

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.
Abate and Bruno Peres are two of the three fastest gold right backs in the world.

Lichtsteiner is the most complete right back playing in Serie A. He has good attacking and defending stats, and his work rate is perfect. In our opinion he is the best one. However, he is not a fast player. If that is a problem to you, then try Abate.
If you don’t have enough coins to buy them, choose Bruno Peres. He has poor defensive stats but he is really fast, which may be important too.

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 in the team’s offensive manoeuvres.
A team’s left flank has even less options than the right but that doesn’t necessarily mean it has less quality. Alex Sandro, the most rated left back, was a great addition to this league.

Alex Sandro is, in our opinion, the best left back playing in Serie A. It was a good addition to a league that usually doesn’t have many good players in this position.
Zúñiga’s pace is enough to make the difference between him and Patrice Evra. In the other hand, Radu should only be used if you need someone to defend.

Best FIFA 16 Serie A Central Defensive Midfielders
CDM
Many of the FIFA 16 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.
Daniele De Rossi and Khedira are the two most popular central defensive midfielders in Serie A.

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 in 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 and 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.
De Rossi and Khedira are really good choices for teams that want to complicate an opponent’s game in the space between the midfield and the defence.

The area of the field occupied by the central defensive midfielders is the one where most ball disputes happen. Strong players will have a higher probability of winning the ball.
Once again, Khedira stands out. Only Gary Medel has better physical than him. On the other hand there’s Jorginho. The Brazilian player rarely wins a physical brawl due to being the weakest central defensive midfielder from the main Italian League.

There are many good players for this position but we believe that the choice has to be made between Khedira and Rossi. It is not easy to decide who is the best one. We picked Khedira because he is stronger but you will be OK with De Rossi too.
Medel is a very interesting player. Much faster than our first choices, he represents muscle in the midfield. However, he is not so balanced player. He is our economic choice.

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

There are three fundamental attributes for 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 via sprints on the side lines.
The Serie A is extremely well served in this chapter. Five gold players have pace over 92, being the highlighted Jonathan Biabiany.

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.
There are a lot of players gifted in dribbling, being Cuadrado the best one.

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.
Only Candreva and Honda offer good quality passing. Biabiany and Iturbe, for example, could’ve been options to consider filling this slot in virtue of their fantastic pace, but they are affected negatively for missing frequently passes to their more forward team mates.

There are only two good players for this position but it is really difficult to choose between them. Candreva is slightly better than Cuadrado in almost every stat, including much better stamina. However, the pace of the Colombian player can make the difference. What he lacks in these attributes he highly compensates with his pace. That’s the main reason why we consider him the best Serie A right winger.
The young player Berardi is our economic choice.

There is lack of quality left wingers in Serie A. It’s probably the weakest position of this league.
In our opinion, Felipe Anderson is the best left winger. His stats are not great, but pace and dribbling, which are the most important ones, look amazing.
If you are looking for someone that also helps your defence, you should try Kwadwo Asamoah. He is not fast as Gervinho and Felipe Anderson, but he is a more balanced player. The Ghanaian winger is the strongest and one of the best in any of the other five basic attributes. Besides that, he has high/high work rate.

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.
The experienced Serie A forwards Quagliarella, Dzeko and Totti are the ones with best shooting.

Jump, strength and stamina are the ingredients to the new physical attribute, very important when we are analysing the best forwards: jump to score with the head; strength to dispute the ball with the opponents; and stamina to sprint in direction of goal at any time of the game.
Most of the best Serie A strikers don’t have good physical. It’s not the case of Mandžukić.

Higuaín is, in our opinion, the best Serie A forward. He is not the best one in any of the six main attributes, but he is a very balanced player.
If you need another striker or if you can’t pay Higuain, then you have to choose between Dybala, if you play with the ball in the ground, and Mandžukić, if you often cross the ball to the head. Dybala is pure class: he’s the fastest striker and also the one with best dribbling. Mandžukić is perfect for target man, because his heading is almost unstoppable. If you need someone more balanced, you can go for Bacca or Morata.
Far from these strikers quality, Rodrigo Palácio is, once again, our cheapest choice. Give him a try and you will understand why we love him.

Serie A 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 players based on their role and style of play that fits each player. 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 (1): 4-1-2-1-2 with unlimited budget, 4-3-3 with 100k budget and 4-4-2 with a 25k budget.
(1) These formations were chosen because they are the most popular ones. It doesn’t mean that they are the best formations for this league.

- Summary
The choice for this team’s players was based on analysis made in the previous chapters.
Handanovic is one of the community favourites. He is still the goalkeeper of this team.
If there are undoubted players in this team, Chiellini is certainly one of them. It is clear his superiority. He keeps on being the boss of the defensive foursome for all and a few more reasons. With Manolas they are the nightmare for every forward. On the right side, Stephan Lichtsteiner is the best player, but you may pick Abate depending if you want someone faster. On the left side, Alex Sandro is much better than anyone else.
Marchisio is a CM but he plays as a CDM like no one does. Not even De Rossi or Khedira. This ‘box to box’ player is perfect to play behind Pogba, the most expensive Serie A player. You can play with Pogba behind Marchisio, but in our opinion the Italian player is better defensive midfielder: he defends better, has higher interception, marking and aggression stats and his work rates are more suitable for this position.
On the wings, pace is crucial. That’s why Felipe Anderson and Cuadrado were chosen to these positions. Higuain is THE striker but if you need someone else, you can choose between Mandzukic and Dybala, depending if you plan to cross or not. If you play with three forwards, you can try to use Tévez between Higuain and Dybala, without losing chemistry.
Once all the players reach maximum individual chemistry you can go without a manager for your squad. They’ll be of no use and still spend contracts.

- Summary
The choice for this team’s players was based on analysis made in the previous chapters.
The players of the previous team are too expensive to be used in the medium budget squad. Perin, Zúñiga and Jesus don’t have the same quality but they allow you to save many coins. Cáceres is a bargain and Bruno Peres is good enough to replace Lichtsteiner.
For this budget, the central midfield position has to be Medel’s. He builds up the first barrier between your goal line and the opponent, making his defensiveness and physicality count. Hamsik and Hernanes complete the midfield.
In the attack, Gervinho and Salah have the mission to send the ball to Mandzukic’s head. If you need a more complete striker, use Rodrigo Palacio.
If you still have some room in your budget, Lichtsteiner, Felipe Anderson and even Higuan are players that would improve this squad a lot.

- Summary
The choice for this team’s players was based on analysis made in the previous chapters.
In the goal, Neto is a decent very cheap goalkeeper. Zapata, Rudiger, Montoya and Radu are the four other defenders. If you need someone more attacking to the left side, try Ansaldi.
On the midfield, Medel and Bonaventura complete each other well. The first one is a defensive midfielder while the second is used to assisting his team mates. Blaszczykowski and Asamoah, another very cheap player, fill the wings in order to assist Jovetic and Cerci.

for a 433 formation what low budget team will you give me?
The same low budget squad we published but with Matías Fernandez instead of Cerci
What variation of the 4-3-3 should I use? And what midfielders should I have(excluding Pogba)? I’m very confused.
Without knowing your preferences, players and play style, it is impossible to help you.
Is Marchiso a much better upgrade on Melo(for the CDM position)?
Marchisio can play in the entire field. That’s the difference. In my team, it has to be Marchisio.
Hi I have tried differently by transfering players from various clubs to Napoli and using default formation. The main squad consists of Higuain(st), Carlos Vela(lw), Lucas(rw), Gotze(cam), Toure Yaya(ldm), Matic(rdm), David Alaba(lb), Zapaleta(rb), Boeteng(rcb), Kompany(lcb), Czech(Gk). Sub – Tevez(st), Curdado(rw), Nicolas Gaitain(lw), Mertens(cam), Verthgheon or Subotic(CB), Pjanic or Ramsey(cm), Akneeifiv(Gk),De Rossi or mavuba(cdm). For double players playing one team use Jovektic or Bacca or Llorente or manzukukic or negredo in cam position to get both players an advantage in goal scoring chances often. Please try this in normal mode not in manager mode. I tried it and it makes Napoli as one of the toughest teams. But The game often cheats when it comes to Barcelona against any team. The referee with strict bookings and fouls also supports Barcelona. You will notice that many offsides are not given to Messi and neymar. Iniesta sprint speed is 72 I think but runs as 94. They may hit you illegally some times and the referee gives them free kick and no card would be given. They kick outs in your goal post side and will take corner…. I totally caught mad at this stupid incidents. It happens all the time. They some how gets to score. You will know that the game suddenly makes your pass not to meet the other player and they would score. During that time I usually clear the ball and the referee gave them free kick and I even checked instant replay for any fouls but nothing happened in the replay. This happened twice in the game after playing against Barcelona for 11 times. Sometimes your goal keeper will make any mistakes and some times your defender puts own goals. I just want you to check it by your self. Extra time is given more to Barcelona and plays more even though time is over. The referee Whistle after we get the ball from them and the referee doesn’t give time for our goal moves but gives more to Barcelona.
Sorry for miss spelling some words. Hope you would understand my grammar though….
https://www.easports.com/nl/fifa/ultimate-team/web-app/show-off?showoffId=kfJ6L77NnMgBs:FFA16PS3 sorry, this is the team link
No, I don’t have any suggestion. The team is OK as it is. I love to see your three strikers playing together.
Hello Rodrigo,
https://www.easports.com/nl/fifa/ultimate-team/web-app/show-off?showoffId=fIcgasQ1nMggO:FFA16PS3 This is my serie A team, what do you think of it?. It’s about 200k at ps3 and works really good for me. I personally think hamsik in form is a better choice, beacause his price(25k at PS3). Also have mandzukic in form the bench, to replace tevez or dybala when they are injured. Do you have any suggestions for my left mid. I also won Nicola Sansone TOTS from a TOTS cup, but he has 3 star and i prefer a 4 star at the wingers. I think filipe anderson is also a good choice.
Hi Rodrigo, i want to build up a Serie A team. I have around 50k coins and 5-3-2 is my favorite formation. But, BPL seems attractive as well. What do you suggest? I dont play much on wings and use midfield mostly. Regards
If your budget is 50k and don’t have plans to improve it, then pick the Serie A.
I am playing with 4-2-3-1(2). At first, I am using de Rossi and Khedira as CDMs but they aren´t playing as expected. Should I keep them or put Nainggolan and Marchisio?
GK Handanovic
RB Lichesteiner
CB Chiellini
CB Manolas
RB Sandro
CDM Khedira
CDM De Rossi
CAM Mertens
RM Cuadrado
LM Felipe Anderson
ST Higuain
Tks!
Hi.
I suppose that Pogba is too expensive for you. In that case, you should give a try to Nainggolan and Marchisio. However, keep in mind that these two players are more attacking than defensive players. Maybe you should look to Guarin too.
Hi
I play wing… Which formation should i use and which wingers should i use if i m building seria team
343 or 433, for example. You can see more about it here.
Serie A wingers are not the best ones. We suggest Cuadrado or Felipe Anderson.
Hi Rodrigo,
I’ve seen the comments n learned how to utilize tevez in 4312 formation but what if i wanted to fit in aguero too? How can i make him and tevez wit 9 or full 10 chemistry if possible? Any suggestions?
I can’t afford pogba atm so who do u think should be in the middle CM in 4312? marchisio or nainngolan? or any other suggestions?
https://www.futbin.com/16/squad/328717
1) I can only make aguero 8 chemistry the most, do u think this would be better than 10 chemistry higuain?
2) Do u think i should put khedira in the middle instead of nainggolan?
Hope for your reply and suggestions tq.
Regards,
Hana
1) Aguero 8 is better than Higuain 10.
2) No.
Regards
Hey Rodrigo,
My current Team is:

STR: Tevez
STL: TIF Higuain (89)
So my Question: Do you have any suggestions regarding my team? Everybody is on 10 chem, but is this necessary? Which Players would you change? What other tips do you have regarding my team? Do you think I Should Change pereyra with marchisio or naingolan so That tevez is on 8chem? And Should I Change dybala with Di Maria so that Pogba is on 8 Chem and also TIF Higuain with Aguero (88) ? And in Goal Buffon or Navas but them Ramos is on 7chem. I have an Argentinien Serie A Manager. Please help me.
Thank you very much. Love your Guides.

Hi, Rodrigo. That’s a nice guide! Thanks to share your experiences with us.
I got a question for you: I like to play more in defense, trying first to not allow my opponent score, and then playing in counter attacks.
For a team with a small budget (10k to make 4 choices), who you reccomend me for compose my midfielder (it needs to be 3 CDM/CM with high defensive stats and 1 CAM)?
Thanks again!!
Felipe Melo, Guarin, Medel and Hernanes
4231 (with CAM’s)
Handanovic
LB :Alex Sandro; CB: Juan Jesus; CB: Manolas; RB: Lichtsteiner
RDM: Medel (saving for Nainggolan); LDM: Pereyra;
CF: Callejon or Menez (suggestion)
LAM: Insigne; RAM: Mertens
ST: Dybala
Fifa 16 Mobile with that shity price range is even harder
Any suggestin in that money
You have a nice team. If possible, try Felipe Anderson and Bacca.
Hey,Rodrigo i would like to replace higuain or dybala with the new transfered doumbia or should i keep dybala and higuain up front
In my opinion, you should keep Dybala and Higuain.
Hi Rodrigo, just want to quickly ask your opinion on fredy Guarin. I believe he was very popular last year, but this year I’m not too sure. Can you explain to me what you think of him?
Hi.
In my opinion he is a good player. One of the good things is that he can attacks but also defends very well.
However, Serie A has many good players in this position and for that reason he is not as popular as he already was in the past.
Hello, thanks for the information, very useful.
I playing 4-1-2-1-2 narrow. Any thoughts on wich of the teams that is the ultimate?
Team 1
Buffon
Alex Sandro, Barzagli, Chiellini, Liechtsteiner
De Rossi
Naingollan, Marchisio
Pogba
Higuain, Dybala
Team 2
Buffon
Alex Sandro, Barzagli, Chiellini, Liechtsteiner
Nainggolan
Pogba, Marchisio
Marteens
Higuain, Dybala
The second one.
Thank you.
Hey Rodrigo here is my squad
Courtios
Kurzawa-kompany-Otamendi-lichteinstiener
Pastore-toure-marchisio
Pereyra
Tevez-dybala
In the 4312 formation. How could I improve this squad with about 170k coins. I really like Tevez but would like to improve the people around him. Thank you.
Hi.
Your team looks nice. Tevez is a beast in FIFA 16.
You can try Aguero instead of Dybala, for example. Or Di Maria.
Hey Rodrigo!
I´m still Optimizing my Squads.
1st Squad 3-5-2:
GK: Handanovic
3 CB: Manolas, Miranda, Chiellini
2 CDM: Marchisio (Or Khedira? ), De Rossi
LM: Asamoah
RM: Cuadrado
CAM: Pogba
Left ST: Higuain
Right ST: Dybala
2nd Squad: 41212-2
GK: Perin
LB: Alex Sandro
CBs: Barzagli – Bonucci
LB: Lichtsteiner
CDM: Khedira
LCM: Pjanic/Nainggolan
RCM: Pastore
CAM: Pereyra
LST: Palacio
RST: Tevez
Is there anything you would optimize? I´m not really happy with my Striker Constellations. Higuain often looses the ball and is making too many Mistakes so i´m thinking about choosing another Striker.
Tried Morata, Bacca and Mandzukic but all of them doesn´t satisfy me.
What about Jovetic or Di Natale? I prefer playing Short passes and want my Wingers to cut inside so i prefer Long Shots over Heading.
And thx for your Guides, they´re really helping a lot.
Hi.
Tevez is who you should use but you need to guarantee him a good chemistry.
Jovetic deserves a try.
Regards
Ho Rodrigo,
Who do you think is better as CDM, Marchisio or Naingollan IF? In a 41212 formation… 🙂
Naingolan IF. However, pay attention that most of the times the IF in-game are not as good as they were supposed to be.
Hi Rodrigo, been following your website since a few weeks now. First time commenting.
I started working on a Serie A team recently, and after reading your suggestions have out up the following team.
———-Neto——-
Lichsteiner — Cacares —- Juan Jesus —- Maxwell (PSG)
—-Marchisio—Nainggolan—-Guarin
Berardi—-Dybala—-Lavezzi
I am on Android. This team has done wonders for me in a 4-3-3 and I have really been enjoying playing the game. I like to play the game on the ground and Dybala, Lavezzi have been immense for me.
I have just bid for Candreva. Hopefully I’ll buy him.
As you can see, the left side has Maxwell and Lavezzi which are not from Serie A. I used to have Matuidi as a CM there, but I just sold him as I felt he wasn’t as good as CM and bought Guarin.
Maxwell links with Jesus while Lavezzi links with Dybala. Do you think there are better options within Serie A?
Lavezzi has been scoring a lot of goals for me and the lack of RWs in Serie A really put me off
Welcome.
If they are working fine with you, why you should change them?! To me your team makes all the sense. Congratulations.
Hi Rodrigo
i like to play 4-3-3 (5) false 9
and my starting 11 for now are
GK Perin
RB Lichtsteiner
CB Barzagli
CB Manolas
LB Evra
CDM Khedira
CM Pjanic
CM Valero
RW Salah
CF Palacio
LW Anderson
and i dont buy coins do i dont have much coins right now
i have only around 10k
and im not sure which positions should i upgrade first
like u said Handanovic is the best but still Perin is very good and has higher reflex rate
and i can’t afford Chellini right now
but after thinking too much i decided to buy Marchisio
do u recommend buying Marchisio over Naingolan?
and if i play with one CF who would be better Higuain or Dybala?
and do u think i need to get a CM first or the CF
thanks!
Hi.
Nice team.
Marchisio and Higuain. CM.
Thank you!
i got Marchisio now and i have 30k
who should i get next?
Chellini or Niangolan?
Chiellini.
Thank you!
i already got most of the best seria a players except Pogba
and i red comments and you advice to not play with wings and i actually like middle play and lots of short passes but i can’t decided which formation is the best yet
i tried 4312 and i think its good but maybe im not used to it yet
i want to try 41212 (2)
do you think there’s any difference between 4312 and 41212 except for one CDM rather than 3 CMs
and do you recommend other formations that is most fitted for passing and penetrate defence though the one two and short passes?
41212 (2) is great and since most of people is using a formation with two CDM maybe you should give a try too…
4222 is also a good formation according to your play style.
But I don’t this formation – too tight for me!
The Try 41212 and try Pereyra as CAM and Iturbe as RM with Tevez as ST on his Side.
Rodrigo,
You mentioned above that you can play with the three Higuain, Dubala and Tevez. How is that possible?
I am trying to play with the trident Palacio, Tevez and Dybala but I can t as it will affect the chemistry a lot since both Palacio and Dubala are Sts not wingers?
Please advise
Example: on 41212 (2) or 4312 you can use Dybala as CAM, Higuain and Tevez as ST and Pereyra as CM on the same side of Tevez. Everyone will get chemistry 10.
So wait for BF really? Will Tevez go below 30k? What if the players who actually have him refuse to sale? This his price goes up or I won’t be able to even see his card?
Tevez is crucial to me as I really need his quality up front! Are you sure that I should wait? I am also getting Pererya to have an all argentian midfield with Carlitos being a CF.
Please advise
It is always a risk. However, it is very likely to find him cheaper during BF compared with now.
miranda and (barzagli or bonucci) as CBs !!?
Miranda and Barzagli.
Or would you recommend Pastore, Banega?
In that case, I recommend Di Maria. 🙂
Pastore, then Pereyra and finally Banega.
Pastore over Pererya really as a CM? Isn’t he a bit weak? Plus I don’t have much ligue 1 individuals. This will affect chemistry – I will go for Pereya then? Any advice is when to buy Carlitos? Market crash? I have 30,000 coins now but should wait until Black Friday?
Is it possible that I find Tevez for less than 30 K for instance? Or shall I buy him right away now?
What is the console?
Yes, wait until BF.
It depends of your play style. For many people, Pastore will always be better than Pereyra. However, you need to analyse according to your preferences.
My console is Xbox and I tend to pass a lot – play total football (passing, high press, crossing, dribbling) love to counter also.
In that case, Pastore is the right choice.
Rodrigo,
4-4-1-1 is my best formation that I enjoy and get results with – having said that – I can’t wait to get Tevez! He is he cheap version of Aguero for me!
I don’t like Juve players (being Interista) but in order to add Tevez and have no effect on my high chemistry, I am thinking of also getting Pererya. So I can play with Tevez as a CF alongside Perez, Pereya (only problem is I won’t be able to use Nainngolan (my best CM in the game) so having Palacio, Dybala, Icardi will make it easier to use Tevez even as a ST.
I’m not planning to Change 4-4-1-1 even though I sometimes tweak it to 4-4-2 and 4-3-3 (4) if I am conceading
Are you in agreement?
Yes, I agree.
Hi Rodri, nice articule.
I have simple question, I’m using 4-1-2-1-2, with Bacca and Dybala and Hernanes as a CAM, who is not being useful due to his low phy stats. Which cam would you recommend? I can not afford pogba or marchisio o naingolean. I’m thinking of Pereyra or Pjanic, maybe mertens I don’t know. Which would you recommend me?
Thanks.
Maybe Guarin?
Mertens is the best choice. However, if you feel that he is too weak, try Pereyra.
I plan to build 4-3-1-2 with serie A team.
LB: Zuniga
CB: Caceres & Juan Jesus
RB: Perez
CM: …., …., ……
CAM: Hamsik
ST: Jovetic & Dybala
Can you suggest me best 3 CM to fill the blank ( Exclude Pogba and Marchisio)
Naingollan (or Guarin), Mertens and Pjanic
Hello Rodrigo
Thanks for your guides, they are super helpful
Is Marchetti a good option in goal, or should I stick to somebody like Perin
Regards
Basil
Thank you.
Perin is better.
I tend to play 5-2-3 and have foud success with Seria A players. Particular changes I have made are Guarin and Mertens in midfield, who complement eachother well. Guarin os highly under rated and worth a look in, good for the dirty work and long ramge shooting. Mertens is the box to box man, often feeding the front man (Callajon – Napoli – Dyabala and Higuain didn’t quite work for me) after ducking through the defence.
Rodrigo, I am thinking of a partner for Bonucci – probably cannot afford 66k Chielini, who would you suggest?
I was thinking of Caceres stats-wise . Why do players not use him ?
thx in adv
If you can not afford Manolas or Miranda, Cáceres is the best choice.
Hi Rodrigo,
I have this squad
4-3-2-1
GK: Handanovic
RB: Lichtsteiner
CBR: Manolas
CBL: Chiellini
LB: Alex Sandro
CML: Marchisio
CMC: Naingolan
CMR: Pereyra
CAM: Di Maria
STR: Tevez
STL: Higuain
So my Question: Who Would you suggest instead of Peyreyra? I can’t afford Pogba so I Need another option.
I’m still Saving in Pogba But he is so expansive 🙁
And Should i Replace Higuain with Aguero ?
Thank you very much 😉
Hi.
If you have coins to buy Aguero, go ahead.
Pereyra is not a bad player and he helps you to improve chemistry. If you want to try another player, pay attention to Nainggolan or Mertens.
Regards
Thank you very much.
So do you think it’s better to play with pereyra until i can affort pogba rather than switching him with any other Serie A CM ? I don’t like Mertens he is too week in my opinion for a CM Role in a 4-3-1-2. I also like pereyra very much but i think there might be a better option than him. Maybe Guarin ?
Thank you very much 🙂
I think you should keep with Pereyra until you can afford Pogba.
Regards
Hey,
My current Team is:
4-3-1-2
GK: Handanovic
RB: Lichtsteiner
CBR: Manolas
CBL: Chiellini
LB: Alex Sandro
CML: Marchisio
CMC: Pogba
CMR: Naingolan
CAM: Di Maria
STL: Agüero
STR: Tevez
So my Question is: Do you have any suggestions, who would improve this squad?
Should i replace any of these players?
Should i Buy Informs?
What can i do if i Want to improve this squad?
And one thing, what do you think about my squad?
Thank you very much!
Obviously, it is a great squad. I don’t know how much chemist your strikers and CAm have, but the team is really nice.
Don’t buy IF. They are not good value for money. Naingolan is not my favourite but understand your choice. There are other good players for that position.
Congratulations.
My Strikers and CAM have 8 Chem.
So who would you suggest instead of naingolan ? I don’t see many other Options in Serie A.
8 is not great but not bad either.
Mertens is great but if you want someone to help the back four, then Naingolan looks OK.
Hi Rodrigo,
My current Team is:
4-3-1-2
GK: Neuer
RB: Lichtsteiner
CBR: Chiellini
CBL: Boateng
LB: Alaba
CML: Vidal
CMC: Pogba
CMR: IF Naingolan
CAM: IF Dybala
STL: Agüero
STR: Tevez
Do you have any suggestions below my current Team I’m in Division 1 and Want to win it. So who would you suggest to improve my team? I Love your Guides
Think you very much
Greetings from Austria !
Di Maria or IF Dybala at CAM Who is better ?
Di Maria
Hi.
I really love your team. It is so good that I don’t know how to improve it. Really. Maybe using Di Maria instead of Dybala…
Congratulations.
Who is a better player for that Position in your opinion than naingolan? Maybe not someone from Serie A? But then who is your Favorite choice?
Thank you very very much you are helping me so much 🙂
Hi Rodrigo.
I want a replacement for Khedira in this squad. Who is better Nainggolan or Marchisio?
How would you improve this squad?
https://www.futhead.com/16/squads/4226569/
Thank you
Spanish:
Hola Rodrigo. Quiero un sustituto de Khedira en este equipo. ¿Quién es mejor Nainggolan o Marchisio?
¿Cómo mejoraría este equipo?
https://www.futhead.com/16/squads/4226569/
Gracias
Hola.
Marchicio is better. You can not improve it without spending many coins (Thaigo, Pogba, etc).
Saludos
I am using 3-5-2 formation. Any feedbacks on this serie a squad?
GK: handanovic
CB: chiellini, barzagli, bonnuci
CDM: khedira, de rossi
LM: gervinho
RM: cuadrado
CAM: pogba
ST: higuain, mandzukic
Hi.
In our opinion there are better CB’s than Barzagli. More than one. That’s the biggest problem.
With an unlimited budget what is the best Serie A formation in your opinion?
The formation should be chosen according your play style and preferences and not for the league you are playing.
If you insist in doing it, choose a formation without wingers.
No matter the league!It is for a hybrid!
I want to improve this alignment:
https://www.futhead.com/16/squads/3819835/
I also use this:
https://www.futhead.com/16/squads/3820327/

Tambien utilizo esta:
https://www.futhead.com/16/squads/3820327/
In that case, Robben is the best one. If you don’t have coins for him, Hulk is a nice alternative.
Hello Rodrigo
What is the best RM,RW (no Messi, no Bale, no Costa)?
Hola Rodrigo
Cual es el mejor RM, RW (Sin incluir a Messi, Bale ni a Costa)?
Hola! From which league ?
Rodrigo, hopefully a quick one – Im hoping to have Tevez up front with maybe Dybala, noticed you said Palacio is far from the quality of Higuain Dybala etc. – is that true?, if so what do you mean ?, thx in adv
Palacio is a good player and for that reason he is our economic choice. However, Dybala and Higuain are more complete players. You understand that when you test the three players. Using Tevez with them is the best thing you can do.
Rodrigo, thanks as always, so you would play Dybala as cam ?, with Tevez & Higuain as strikers ?
Yes.
When will you being doing ligue 1 cheers
We will try for November 13th.
Okay no worries cheers
Why do you recommend 8 chem Tevez rather than 10 chem with Dybala, Higuain and Pereya next to him who are all really good players?
They are all good players but Tévez is like a god. Definitely one of my favourites.
Love these guides Rodrigo – so helpful
I’ve finally traded up enough coins to by Tevez and was hoping to put him in this hybrid
https://www.futbin.com/16/squad/29173
I’ve just noticed the strikers are the wrong way round for preferred foot (Tevez right footed on the left etc) – i cant switch them without losing chem
Will this team still work or is it back to the darwing board?? – it took me ages to plan and save up to
Do you know the impact of switching them in game or is that something nobody knows?
Cheers
and thanks again for these guides
Yes, you should switch them. Nobody have sure if it has impact doing it in game.
My suggestion is to buy a Argentinian Serie A manager. He probably will get chemistry 9 which is good.
Will you do a bundesligea next?
LOVING YOUR GUIDES!
Sure. It’s the next one!
My squad: I like hybrids so got players from BBVA, BPL and Serie A
GKs: Diego Lopez – Diego Alves – Vorm
RBs: B.peres – Darmian – Baragan
CBs: Sakho – A.Santos – Okore – Ogbonna – Zapata – Murillo
LB: Rose – Zuniga – Telles
CDM: Melo – Allan – Kouyate – Sanchez –
CM: Borja V – Kondogbia – Eriksen – (Nianggolan)
CAM: Mertens – Wilshere – Lanzini(packed)
RM: Cuadrado – Lamela – Berarrdi
LM: Perisic – Mirallas – F. Anderson (Fegouli RM but forgot to add above)
ST: Benteke – Jovetic – Dybala – Palacio – Origi – Rodrigo
My starting lineup: either 4-4-1-1 or 4-4-2
4-4-1
Vorm, Darmian, Ogbonna, Okore, Rose, Cuadrado, Guarin(used to), Eriksen, Mirallas, Jovetic as a CF (best position) and Dybala.
4-4-2
Vorm, Darmian, Vertonghen?, Okore, Rose, Cuadrado, Nainggolan?, Eriksen, Mirallas, Dybala and Benteke
Please let me know what you think, how to improve and if you have better combination than the above 2 lineups even though both of them have 100 as chemistry
Best,
Ahmed
It isn’t easy to analyse an Hybrid in a few minutes. At the first look, it looks great.
I know – but your input is very important especially on formation and how to improve – which players to get to go to the next level while maintains same high chemistry if possible.
Take your time but let me know your feedback!
Ahmed
Any advice Rodrigo regarding the above?
Can you share the Web App links of these teams ? It would be easier to check the chemistry.
Sure – how I add the web app link here. Can Only take a photo from the app (snapshot) but can’t provide a link? Can I?
Go to web app – squad – active squad – share and then copy paste the link.
Rodrigo I couldn’t share my squad from web app:
However this 4-4-1-1 I have been using a lot and i do like it.
Begovic – Lichesteiner – ogbonna – Vertonghen – Rose
Cuadrado – Melo – Jovetic – Eriksen/Valero – Mirallas
Benteke
Now I am thinking of getting Konoplyanka to improve the left side – he is for me the new hazard! In order to that I will have to get trelemounas who is an also decent LB and need to replace my CBs with A French CB (can’t afford Koscicelny now) so as the chemistry not affected.
In another thought I also would add J. Martinez ( by selling Remy) and rotating between him and Benteke in a lone striker position. Problem is Martinez is expensive and I can’t afford to get all those players at once (Konoplyanka – Martinez – Koscileny and Trelimonas ) any advice as to the next step regarding the above thoughts?
Update:
Got Konopylanka, Trelmouinas. Next is Mattinez!
Rodrigo – let me hear your insight
Hi.
You are doing fine: you bought the less expensive first and now it is time to save to buy Jackson Martinez.
Problem is Chemsitry can’t be raised to 100 here and players chemistry as well won’t reach 8 at least unless I change the manager! So If i took a manager who works in Liga – I will get Eriksen chemistry 7 and same goes to (Konoplyanka: 6 and Martinez 7) if an English manager?
Can you please advise? Also what are the other players that can improve this squad?
Well, if you are getting troubles making this team, maybe you should focus in a single league.
You get one extra individual chemistry point if the manager has the same nationality or league (or both, of course)
Seen Miranda but where is Mertens?
Check the blue box.
Hi Rodrigo, first comment, but I follow your site for about a year now, and is my first source for anything related FUT 🙂
I’m building a Serie A team (433(2)) but as a Boca Juniors fan I miss Tevez. I’m looking into your suggestion to put him with Dybala and Higuain (suppose that Palacio will works too). how do you get chemistry 8 for Tevez? are you put him as a CF/CAM?
Another question, do you think that Marchisio is better than Nainggolan as CDM?
Thanks!
First of all, thank you very much for following us.
433(2) ? In my opinion, you should try a 4312 formation with Tévez and Higuain as strikers and Dybala as CAM. Tévez qill get chemistry 8 but that’s not a problem.
I believe that Nainggolan could be a better CDM than Marchisio.
Rodrigo, where is Mertens? He is such a quality player! Come on! Also, Miranda?
If you look well, he is our 4th choice.
what do you think of Pjanic as CM and Nainggolan as CDM?
It works.
Evening Rodrigo,
If you were given an unlimited budget, how would you setup a 4-3-3 squad for Serie A?
It has to be 433? Look to this 4312: Handanovic, Lichsteiner, Manolas, Chiellini, Alex Sandro, Marchisio, Pogba, Nainggolan, Dybala, Higuain and Tevez (chemistry 8).
Yes, I’d prefer it’d a 4-3-3. I’m not quite sure who to use as my wingers. So far I’ve got Gervinho. I’m looking to get Cuadrado and possibly Salah as a reserver for the two. Also, besides Higuain, who should I get as a striker? Thanks.
Then, in that case use Dybala and Cuadrado.
come fare stessa squadra senza pogba e chiellini?
Use Miranda and Mertens
Rodrigo hello, can you do me a team with no budget limits 4-3-3 with reservations considering the February updates but without Chiellini Pogba? thank you
Use our suggestion with Miranda and Mertens
