Introduction to the FUT 16 Bundesliga 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 Bundesliga. Even the players that have a Bundesliga 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:

  • Only Gold Players
    • 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.
  • 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.
  • Only Normal Players
    • 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 Bundesliga 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 16 Ultimate Team Bundesliga 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 oscillations throughout the season, so we added a link where you can check the updated prices.

     
     

     
     
     
     
     
     

    Bundesliga

     

    The Bundesliga lives in the shadow of Barclays PL and BBVA but the truth is that it has many quality players.

    The qualification of the champion is made through the made points system. Whichever team gathers the most points wins the league. The first four classified gain access to the champions league of the next year, while the fifth and sixth qualify to the Europa League and the last three trade places with the first two qualified of the 2. Bundesliga and with the play-off winner. Every season starts in August and finishes in May, having 34 game weeks with nine matches each, being a total of 306 matches per season.

    The Bundesliga is the most watched sports league in the world and the third best league classified in the UEFA league coefficients.

    Started in 1962, the Bundesliga has been conquered by twelve clubs. The dominant club is Bayern Munich, with a total of 24 titles. Borussia Dortmund (5), Borussia Mönchengladbach (5), Werder Bremen (4), Hamburger SV (3), VfB Stuttgart (3), FC Köln (2) and FC Kaiserslautern (2) were the other teams that won more than once.

    As of last season, the Bundesliga lost some good players such as Pepe Reina (Bayern – Napoli), Bastian Schweinsteiger (Bayern – Manchester United), Xherdan Shaqiri (Bayern – Inter), Ciro Immobile (Borussia Dortmund – Sevilla), Roberto Firmino (1899 Hoffenheim- Liverpool) and Jakub Błaszczykowski (Borussia Dortmund – Fiorentina). But, the biggest transfers out were Kevin De Bruyne and Perisic, from Wolfsburg to Manchester City and Inter.

    These transfers didn’t necessarily make the Bundesliga weaker. The German clubs spent many money on strong reinforcements: Adnan Januzaj (Manchester United), Eduardo Vargas (Napoli), Claudio Pizarro, Emiliano Insúa (Atlético de Madrid) and Francisco Rodríguez (Zurich). But the biggest signings of the season happened in Munich: Arturo Vidal and Douglas Costa.

    The choices are a lot for which our guide will certainly be useful as to building a team with players from this league. Bundesliga is a good choice to who is looking for quality players, but doesn’t want to spend so much coins as happens in BPL and BBVA based squads.

    Best FIFA 16 Bundesliga 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.

    Manuel Neuer is the most popular goalkeeper in the world.

     

    MOST HIGH-RATED GOALKEEPERS
    Manuel Neuer 90 FC Bayern GER
    Bernd Leno 84 Bayer 04 GER
    Yann Sommer 82 Bor. M’gladbach SUI
    Ralf Fährmann 81 FC Schalke 04 GER
    Diego Benaglio 81 VfL Wolfsburg SUI
    Ron-Robert Zieler 80 Hannover 96 GER
    Roman Bürki 80 Bor. Dortmund SUI
    Roman Weidenfeller 79 Bor. Dortmund GER
    Timo Horn 79 1. FC Köln GER
    René Adler 79 Hamburger SV GER

    Oliver Baumann 78 1899 Hoffenheim GER
    Sven Ulreich 77 FC Bayern GER
    Przemysław Tytoń 76 VfB Stuttgart POL
    Tom Starke 76 FC Bayern GER


     

    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 first measures a goalkeeper’s agility when making a save. The best on this aspect are Neuer and Sommer.

     

    GOALKEEPERS WITH BEST REFLEXES
    Manuel Neuer 86 FC Bayern GER
    Yann Sommer 86 Bor. M’gladbach SUI
    Bernd Leno 85 Bayer 04 GER
    Ralf Fährmann 85 FC Schalke 04 GER
    Roman Bürki 84 Bor. Dortmund SUI
    Loris Karius 84 1. FSV Mainz 05 GER
    Thomas Kraft 84 Hertha BSC GER
    Oliver Baumann 83 1899 Hoffenheim GER
    Jaroslav Drobný 83 Hamburger SV CZ
    Ron-Robert Zieler 82 Hannover 96 GER
    René Adler 82 Hamburger SV GER
    Sven Ulreich 82 FC Bayern GER
    Diego Benaglio 81 VfL Wolfsburg SUI
    Timo Horn 80 1. FC Köln GER
    Przemysław Tytoń 80 VfB Stuttgart POL


     

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

    In this attribute, it is Neuer the best one. Again…

     

    GOALKEEPER WITH BEST DIVING
    Manuel Neuer 85 FC Bayern GER
    Bernd Leno 84 Bayer 04 GER
    Yann Sommer 84 Bor. M’gladbach SUI
    Diego Benaglio 84 VfL Wolfsburg SUI
    Thomas Kraft 84 Hertha BSC GER
    Ralf Fährmann 82 FC Schalke 04 GER
    Roman Bürki 82 Bor. Dortmund SUI
    Oliver Baumann 81 1899 Hoffenheim GER
    Sven Ulreich 81 FC Bayern GER
    René Adler 80 Hamburger SV GER
    Loris Karius 80 1. FSV Mainz 05 GER
    Przemysław Tytoń 80 VfB Stuttgart POL
    Roman Weidenfeller 79 Bor. Dortmund GER
    Marwin Hitz 79 FC Augsburg SUI
    Ron-Robert Zieler 78 Hannover 96 GER


     

    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 Bundesliga goalkeepers are very tall. From the 18 goalies, thirteen have at least 190cm. Ralf Fährmann is the tallest one, 13cm taller than Yann Sommer.

     

    TALLEST GOALKEEPERS
    Ralf Fährmann 196 / 6′5″ FC Schalke 04 GER
    Diego Benaglio 194 / 6′4″ VfL Wolfsburg SUI
    Przemysław Tytoń 194 / 6′4″ VfB Stuttgart POL
    Tom Starke 194 / 6′4″ FC Bayern GER
    Manuel Neuer 193 / 6′4″ FC Bayern GER
    Timo Horn 192 / 6′4″ 1. FC Köln GER
    Sven Ulreich 192 / 6′4″ FC Bayern GER
    Jaroslav Drobný 192 / 6′4″ Hamburger SV CZ
    Marwin Hitz 192 / 6′4″ FC Augsburg SUI
    René Adler 191 / 6′3″ Hamburger SV GER
    Bernd Leno 190 / 6′3″ Bayer 04 GER
    Roman Weidenfeller 190 / 6′3″ Bor. Dortmund GER
    Loris Karius 190 / 6′3″ 1. FSV Mainz 05 GER
    Ron-Robert Zieler 188 / 6′2″ Hannover 96 GER
    Roman Bürki 187 / 6′2″ Bor. Dortmund SUI


     

    The choice for the best Bundesliga goalkeeper on FIFA 16 Ultimate Team is really easy.

    Besides being the best Bundesliga goalkeeper in the two most important attributes, Manuel Neuer is also the the one with best positioning, handling and kicking in the entire game.

    For us, Bernd Leno is the number two because he has good stats in reflexes and diving and also because his positioning is much better than Yann Sommer’s, our economic choice.

    Best FIFA 16 Bundesliga Centre Backs

    CB
     

    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.

    Boateng is the centre back with the best reputation in the Bundesliga.

     

    HIGHEST RATED CENTRE BACKS
    Jérôme Boateng 87 FC Bayern GER
    Mats Hummels 86 Bor. Dortmund GER
    Naldo 85 VfL Wolfsburg BRA
    Javi Martinez 84 FC Bayern ESP
    Medhi Benatia 84 FC Bayern MOR
    Sokratis 83 Bor. Dortmund GRE
    Benedikt Höwedes 83 FC Schalke 04 GER

    Tony Jantschke 80 Bor. M’gladbach GER
    Holger Badstuber 80 FC Bayern GER
    Emir Spahić 79 Hamburger SV BOS


     

    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: Boateng, Hummels, Naldo and Banatia. It’s really hard to get past hem. The most experienced players are normally those who have a higher rating on this attribute.

     

    CENTRE BACKS WITH BEST DEFENDING
    Mats Hummels 88 Bor. Dortmund GER
    Naldo 88 VfL Wolfsburg BRA
    Jérôme Boateng 87 FC Bayern GER
    Medhi Benatia 86 FC Bayern MOR
    Sokratis 86 Bor. Dortmund GRE
    Martin Stranzl 86 Bor. M’gladbach AT
    Javi Martinez 84 FC Bayern ESP
    Benedikt Höwedes 84 FC Schalke 04 GER

    Tony Jantschke 84 Bor. M’gladbach GER
    Dante 83 VfL Wolfsburg BRA
    Neven Subotić 83 Bor. Dortmund SRB
    Joel Matip 82 FC Schalke 04 CAM
    Emir Spahić 82 Hamburger SV BOS
    Matija Nastasić 82 FC Schalke 04 SRB


     

    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 Boateng and Papadopoulos are the strongest ones.

     

    CENTRE BACKS WITH BEST PHYSICAL
    Jérôme Boateng 84 FC Bayern GER
    Kyriakos Papadopoulos 84 Bayer 04 GRE
    Medhi Benatia 83 FC Bayern MOR
    Sokratis 83 Bor. Dortmund GRE

    Marcelo 79 Hannover 96 BRA
    Benedikt Höwedes 78 FC Schalke 04 GER
    Neven Subotić 78 Bor. Dortmund SRB
    Mats Hummels 77 Bor. Dortmund GER
    Martin Stranzl 77 Bor. M’gladbach AT


     

    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.

    Boateng, always him, is the fastest centre back playing in the Bundesliga.

     

    CENTRE BACKS WITH BEST PACE
    Jérôme Boateng 79 FC Bayern GER
    Fabian Schär 78 1899 Hoffenheim SUI
    Felipe Santana 78 FC Schalke 04 BRA
    Sokratis 75 Bor. Dortmund GRE
    Ömer Toprak 75 Bayer 04 TUR
    David Abraham 74 Eint. Frankfurt ARG
    John Brooks 74 Hertha BSC USA
    Naldo 73 VfL Wolfsburg BRA
    Joel Matip 72 FC Schalke 04 CAM
    Neven Subotić 71 Bor. Dortmund SRB
    Niko Bungert 71 1. FSV Mainz 05 GER
    Bamba Anderson 71 Eint. Frankfurt BRA
    Tin Jedvaj 71 Bayer 04 CRO
    Matija Nastasić 70 FC Schalke 04 SRB
    Johan Djourou 70 Hamburger SV SUI


     

    Jérôme Boateng is our number one choice for this position. He is the fastest CB and the one with best physical stats. The Bayern’ defender is the most expensive of all centre backs in Bundesliga.

    The big question is: who will partner with Boateng ? It isn’t easy to decide. Hummels is usually the most used, because he has the best passing, dribbling and defending stats. In fact he is a great player and the whole situation with pace this year benefits him massively. However, Naldo and Sokratis are also good choices. They are much faster and have better physical stats.

    Toprak is our economic choice. He is fast and has good defending stats.

    Best FIFA 16 Bundesliga Right Backs

    RB | RWB
     

    Full backs have the role of troubling the job of wingers. In addition, good full backs also support their team mates on offensive manoeuvres.

    Łukasz Piszczek is the most popular right back playing in Bundesliga.

    Theodor Gebre Selassie 76 Werder Bremen CZ


     

    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 Germany, no one defends as well as Łukasz Piszczek.

    Peter Pekarík 75 Hertha BSC SVK
    Julian Korb 75 Bor. M’gladbach GER


     

    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.

    Łukasz Piszczek’s pace was downgraded and now there are four right backs playing on the Bundesliga faster than him.

    Daniel Opare 89 FC Augsburg GHA

    Paul Verhaegh 75 FC Augsburg NED
    Sebastian Jung 75 VfL Wolfsburg GER


     

    Łukasz Piszczek is the obvious choice for this position. If you don’t have enough coins to buy him, try Opare. Diekmeier is also a decent player with a fair price.

    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.

    David Alaba is the big name for this position. Ricardo Rodriguez is also used by many Ultimate Team fans.

    David Alaba is, in our opinion, the best left back playing in Bundesliga. He is one of the best left backs of FIFA 16, and that’s why he is widely used in hybrids squads.

    Just like last year, Ricardo Rodriguez is still our second choice.

    Best FIFA 16 Bundesliga 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.

    Philipp Lahm is the most rated central defensive midfielder in the world. Xabi Alonso and Luiz Gustavo are also popular choices.

    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.

    Lahm, Luiz Gustavo and Bender 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.

    Stefan Reinartz is the best on this side. Philipp Lahm, however, is quite the disappointment. He is the worst between all gold players.

    Lahm is physically weak but he is still our first choice for this position. He has the best defending and dribbling stats and he is one of the best in pace and passing. Only Luiz Gustavo can be compared to him. Xabi Alonso is too slow to be in our first choices.

    For low budgets, Sven Bender is a nice surprise.

    A lot of games are decided in 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.

    Vidal came from Serie A to be the most rated centre midfielder of this league.

    Centre midfielders are responsible for discovering lines that break the opponents defence. Their passing quality has to be really good so they can assist forwards.

    Şahin and Junuzović have great passing stat.

    A Centre midfielder usually needs creativity. Good dribbling allows the team to move forward, creating potential disequilibrium’s.

    In this league, only Robben and Ribery have better dribbling than Götze and Thiago.

    Arturo Vidal is undoubtedly the best player for this position. He is strong, fast and with great stats for all other attributes, including amazing stamina and work rate. He can play as CAM, CM or even CDM.

    Mario Gotze is a very popular player but we can’t see a reason why we would use him instead of Thiago or even Gündoğan. They are more solid players.

    Best FIFA 16 Bundesliga Right Wingers

    RM | RW | RF
     

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

    Arjen Robben is the right winger most popular who play in Bundesliga.

    Stefan Aigner 77 Eint. Frankfurt GER
    Jonas Hofmann 76 Bor. Dortmund GER


     

    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 Bundesliga is extremely well served in this chapter. Five gold players have pace 90 or higher, being the highlighted Arjen Robben.

    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 Robben (again!) 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 Rooben offers good quality passing.

    There are only three good players for this position but Robben is obviously the best one. He wins in four of six attributes. Douglas Costa and Bellarabi are algo good wingers.

    Volland is our economic choice. Great value for money.

    To pick the best left winger from Bundesliga you will need to ask yourself: who is better, Franck Ribéry or Marco Reus ? Despite having worse work rate, one star skill less and a dribbling less perfect, Reus is a player that have more to offer to the team than the Bayern’s winger.

    If you don’t have enough coins to buy any of them, you will have to buy Schürrle. He is the third most balanced left winger playing in this league. For low budgets teams, Kostic is the best choice.

    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.

    Lewandowski changed position with Huntelaar in the top list of 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 Bundesliga strikers don’t have good physical. It’s not the case of Raúl Bobadilla.

    Depending on the style of play and formation, having good shooting and heading may not be enough for a striker. Especially in games that privilege counter-attack, pace is a very important attribute.

    Aubameyang is the fastest striker in the world. On the entire game, only Walcott and Bolly are faster than him.

    Robert Lewandowski only wins in shooting but he is clearly the best Bundesliga striker and one of the best in the entire game. He is even better this year.

    Who is also better is Aubameyang. His new position was probably the best thing to happen to this league on FIFA 16. Müller is slightly better than him in almost everything but who doesn’t want to play with the fastest striker of the game ?

    Adrián Ramos and Javier Hernández are good choices for teams with low budget.

    Bundesliga 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.

     
     

    Now, to check the current prices of any player /squad, you just need to check ‘updated price

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

      If there are undoubted players in this team, Neuer is certainly one of them. It is clear his superiority.

      Boateng, Alaba and Piszczek are untouchable in the the defence. The other spot can be taken by Hummels, Naldo or Sokratis. The German centre back is the one with worst stats but in the pitch he can play slightly better than the other two.

      Lahm is physically weak but he is still the best centre defensive midfielder in this league. Vidal is a CM that can play well as CDM and CAM. with a high/high work rate and an amazing stamina, he is perfect for this position.

      Who builds an unlimited budget Bundesliga squad must use a formation with wingers. Robben, Reus and Ribéry are three of the best wingers in the game.

      If about Lewandowski it isn’t needed to say anything, about Aubameyang it may be a bit different. He got this position because he is really fast and he has good attacking stats. If you play with a 4312 formation, for example, Thomas Müller will be perfect to play behind them.

      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.

      Most of the players of the previous team are too expensive to be used in the medium budget squad. Piszczek is the only one who keeps been elected to the starting eleven. Leno, Sokratis, Benatia and Ricardo Rodriguez don’t have the same quality but they allow you to save many coins.

      For this budget, the central midfield position has to be Luiz Gustavo’s. He builds up the first barrier between your goal line and the opponent, making his defensiveness and physicality count. Thiago and Gündoğan complete the midfield.

      In the attack, Bellarabi and Schurrle have the mission to assist Javier Hernandez. If you need a stonger striker, use Adrián Ramos.

      If you still have some room in your budget, Naldo and Thomas Müller 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, Ralf Fährmann is a decent very cheap goalkeeper. Opare, Toprak, Subotić and Insua are the four other defenders. The two centre backs are more expensive than we usually pick for a low budget team, but they will give you so much security that we couldn’t left them out of this team.

      On the midfield, Sven Bender and Junuzovic complete each other well. The first one is a defensive midfielder while the second is used to assisting his team mates. Volland and Kostic fill the wings in order to assist Adrián Ramos and Stefan Kießling.

    121 thoughts on “Bundesliga Squad Guide for FIFA 16 Ultimate Team”

    1. What do you think could be a possible replacement for pisczek? He is the highest rated RB in the bundes, but he really doesn’t work for me. Is there anyone I could replace him with?

    2. can u please explain to me..
      i have Nuer for the bundesliga team..
      but i cant believe that they put him useless ..he almost not stopping any kick from any player..
      even the simple balls..how come he s the best and 90 Att. and he cant stop most of the balls!!!
      for me in fifa 16 they put him the worst one,

      i even have the Barclays team as u posted exactly but DeGea also comparing with other team am playing with having Cech he cant be compare to him..is there an explanation for this

    3. how would be with 433(4) Leno-pszck,naldo,boateng,alaba-lahm,müller(cam),vidal-bellarabi,aubameyang,reus but if possible, I want to buy a rb from another league any suggestion to build the chemistry?

        1. that might slightly surpass my budget, I’ll try. But apart from that, do you think building that squad would worth it. Because I’m planning to switch my whole serie A squad

    4. I make this team
      Gk Leno
      Cb nadlo
      Cb marteniz
      Cb Benita
      LM Rodriguez (ik he lb)
      Cdm Alonso
      Cdm Gustavo
      RM bellrabi
      Cam gotze
      St Muller
      St henazdez
      Wat do u think

    5. Hi there Rodrigo, this article is amazing, but i have one problem here… I have Robben in my FUT Bundesliga team, but when i play seasons, i get much more response with douglas costa… he is a really beast in Seasons, he scores e passes and he drible like a god…

      I know Robben is 90 ovr and Douglas Costa is 83… but in my hands i think the ovr is switched… :p

      Do u think it’s reasonable sold Robben to get Douglas Costa?

    6. I have a formation question for admin. My current team and formation are:
      Neuer
      Piszczek, Hummels, Boateng, Alaba
      Müller (CM) Vidal (CM) Gündogan (CM)
      Robben (RF) Rues (LF)
      Lewandowski (ST)

      Bench: Aubameyang, Ribery, Schürrle, Douglas Costa, Kruse, Thiago, Lahm and so on..

      Do you think I should keep the formation or switch to 4-1-2-1-2 and play 2 up front?
      Müller as a CM is actually great and the team is compact. Only thing is that Lewandowski can be a bit isolated sometimes.

        1. Thanks for the answer Rodrigo. I’ll keep the formation, everyone has 10 in chemistry and it suits my playing style, if I want a change I can just switch in-game. Just wanted an opinion..!

          But would you prefer in-form Naldo instead of Hummels? He’s faster and stronger i reckon.

          Great site btw!

    7. Hi.. Great article as always.

      Here is my bundesliga squad for 2015 ut new season .
      My formation is 4-1-2-1-2.

      ST: Lewandowski, Mueller
      CAM: Gotze
      CDM: Phillip Lahm
      LM: Reus
      RM: Shaqiri
      CB: Boateng, Hummels
      LB: David Alaba
      RB: Using Benatia (CB)
      GK: Weidenfeller

      SUBS: Vidal (CDM), De Bruyne (CAM), Huntelaar (ST), Mkhitaryan (RM), Kompany, Mata, Eriksen.

      All players have individual rating 10 except Benatia who has 6.
      Thinking of bringing Piszcek as RB in place of Benatia.

      Any other suggestions?
      Anything will be much appreciated.
      Thanks.

        1. Thanks.
          Bought Piszcek and Leno.
          Also bought IF Mkhitaryan, Jan Oblak (96 rated) and Totti (94 rated). [Green cards]
          Now my team is 87 rated and with 100 chem.

          1 more question, what’s up with the new green cards? Most of the green cards are with rating 95 to over 100.

    8. Hej, great article!

      What do you think about my squad?

      GK: Leno ; LB: Rodriguez – CB: Sokratis, Benatia – RB: Piszczek ; CM: Götze, Thiago, Gündogan ; LW: Douglas Costa – ST: Aubameyang – RW: Bellarabi

      Estimated changes:
      Alaba -> Rodriguez,
      Hummels + Naldo -> Sokratis + Benatia,
      Vidal -> Götze,
      Reus -> Costa
      Müller -> Auba (goes to the RW)

      If I’d have Lewandowski in the future i’d like to change towards a 4-3-2-1 with Müller as CAM and Auba/Lewi as ST.

      Ideas for improvement?

    9. and btw, in case i dont have enough coins, should i start with a low budget team and then upgrade the squad?

    10. Hey, I have a hybrid team of bpl and bundesliga but i wanna build a full bundesliga squad. I have around 50k, should i wait and buy Reus or should I buy Ribery?

    11. i have a bundesliga squad with toni krroos, should i make a bundesliga/bbva hybrid?

    12. Hi Rodrigo,

      Will you do an update for the team selection for all league after the winter upgrade?

      Thank You.

        1. Hi Rodrigo,

          Since the comments on BPL guide page was closed, can i ask it here because i really need and answer from you.

          WIth the recent Koscienly upgrade, do you still think kompany is better than koscielny? If i were to utilize kosc which side(left or right) should i put him with otamendi?

          Thank you.

            1. Thanks for your advice Rodrigo, after giving kompany another try and i still feel i need koscielny pace, which side do you suggest me to put him with his high defensive work rate alongside otamendi?

    13. My current Bundesliga Lineup:

      GK: Leno
      RB: Piszczek
      CB: Hummels
      CB: Naldo
      LB: Rodriguez
      RM: Ballarabi
      CDM: Vidal
      CAM: Muller
      LM: Reus
      ST: Lewandowski
      ST: Aubameyang

      Will be looking at a replacing my defence soon; bring in Boatang, Alaba and Neur

    14. Rodrigo i need your help….
      Im bored! I have loads of players currently have a bundesliga team with Vidal, Aub, Boateng, Reus etc and Serie A team with everyone other than Pogba…but im bored and want to try a Hybrid.
      Im thinking La Liga & Bundesliga, Kroos is obviously a must because he brings it all together.
      This is what im thinking so far…

      GK Leno
      RB Dani Alves
      CB Pique & Naldo
      LB Ricardo Rodriguez
      CDM Busquets
      RM Turan
      LM Reus
      CAM Kroos
      ST Benzema
      ST Muller

      Thoughts? Advice?

      1. That can be a fun team but not as strong as the other ones you had.
        You may try Pepe and Krychowiak but they can affect your chemistry or Sergio Ramos but he will affect your wallet.
        Reagrds

    15. Rodrigo your guides are great,i have aubayang and I think he is not good his finishing is horrible he always gets the ball taken very easily players always catch up to him. Should I sell him and get muller as my new striker

    16. Hi Rodrigo
      I’m using a bundes team with 4-4-2 formation and with vidal and bender in the middle. would you advise me changing bender for a more attacking midfielder? if so who do you suggest ?

      Thanks

    17. Hi Rodrigo,

      Im following your unlimited budget team suggestion, but here i’ve something in mind.

      With the same formation 4-1-2-1-2 or (2)

      Auba – Lewa
      Reus – Muller – Robben
      Vidal
      Alaba – boateng – hummels – lahm
      Neuer

      Do you think this would be better than the team you suggested? i asked this because i know you build it with original attributes and position which lahm is CDM.

      Hope to hear from you, thank you.

      Regards,
      Hana

        1. Do you mean the green/yellow line chemistry? I suppose yellow line chemistry is as good as green since the chemistry is already 100 for the team and also 10 for every individual, no?

            1. Yup after 10 games Lahm and Vidal IC become 10 too. So it is now basically 100 TC and 100 IC. Your team suggestion was very good for me but it is Piszczek doesn’t convince me and i feel Muller was wasted. What do you think about this team though?

            2. I’m sorry i made a mistake there with my 1st reply. Lahm IC become 4. I’ve to use position change him to RB in order to get 10 IC.

            3. Haha yeah just found out about this truth, so sad.

              Btw can you suggest me unlimited budget lineup for 4-3-3 (2)/(4)? Realized i play alot down the flank and cut into the box. Struggling to decide which ST i should drop and which midfielder to play. Muller? Thiago? and which side to play to them.

            4. Thanks for your advise so far Rodrigo,

              Do you mean like this?
              Reus – Lewa – Robben
              Muller – Lahm – Vidal
              Alaba – Boateng – Hummels – Piszczek

    18. Agreed, Robben is fantastic his ball control and dribbling are out of this world in comparison to anyone else i’ve used. Great at drawing clumsy fouls in the box to.
      I have now sold and re-built my Bundesliga squad twice follwoing the price crash during TOTY.
      Personally I have found that the Bundeliga offers the best in terms of depth and breadth of the squad having built both a BPL and La Liga team as well. Would be excellent if you could update this with and informed review of all IF bundesliga players with a value analysis. Can’t recommend this league enough to be honest.

      Having used both Reus and Ribery though i’d have to argue the point that Ribery is actually as good as Reus if not slighlty better depending on your play style. Im not one for long shots but more for cutting inside the box and therefore riberys ball control and dribbling stats make him perfect for this.

    19. why does no one buy Robben?(I didn’t see it in the reviews) He is probably one of the best players from the bundesliga, isn’t he?

    20. So this is the team i have at moment…
      (4-5-1)
      GK; Leno
      RB; Piszceck
      CB; Hummels
      CB; Naldo
      LB; Rodriguez(Wolfsburg)
      CM; Lahm
      RM; Costa
      LM; Schurrle
      CAM; Gundogen
      CAM; Muller
      ST; Aubyamang

      Saving up to upgrade Gundogen to Gotze / Vidal,
      Then onto saving for Reus.

      Play like a passing game.
      Thanks

        1. Thank you Rodrigo, Appreciate what you do!
          Team is now;(4-5-1)
          Leno,
          Piszceck, Hummels, Naldo, Rodriguez,
          Lahm
          Douglas Costa, Gotze, Vidal, Ribery,
          Aub
          with 2nd XI(4-3-3)
          Starke
          Rafinha, Benatia, Martinez, Insua,
          Gustavo
          Bellarbia, Kagawa, Thiago, Schurrle,
          Muller
          xtra – Huntelaar.
          Now saving for Alaba, this is hard work!! But after building Prem , Serie A and La Liga this is my fav so far! So many good CAM/CM’s!!

        2. Quick question is it better to have Gotze & Vidal as CAM’s or player like Kruse TOTW? Is a IF/Hero card better in your opinion?

    21. Bundeshliga 433 (4)
      Hi,
      I have Bundeshliga Team that has 433 (4) formation. line up is
      Neuer
      Alaba
      Hummels
      Boateng
      Piszczek
      Vidal
      Muller
      Gundogan
      Reus
      Lewandowski
      Mkhitaryan
      I m thinking to change reus / Ribery , Gundogan / Lahm, Mkhitaryan/ Costa. What do you think? do you have other suggestion?

    22. Hi, thanks for your cool guides. there’s my team;

      Formation: 4-4-1-1
      gk: Leno
      lb:Rodriguez
      cb:Hummels
      cb:Sokratis
      rb:Opare
      lm:Shürrle
      cm:Thiago
      cm:Gündoğan
      rm:Mkhitaryan
      cf:Hernandez
      st:Aubameyang

      also have Luiz Gustavo on bench. I prefer not to pay 100k on a player but 20-30k for good players and stay at lower rating.Any improvements for keeping the ball?

        1. Yes, thanks. But i asked for improvements especially in midfield. Lahm or Vidal instead of Thiago or Gündoğan maybe?

            1. i have coins for only one of them =) So i don’t know which one is a better replacement.

    23. Awesome guide, however when playing with the Bundesliga team I found a weak point to be right back. I opted for a 4-3-3 formation with two strikers and a CAM just behind with 3 CM’s making Gustavo the right CM enabling me to put in Dani Alves at RB with Naldo next to him in CB meaning there is still 100 chemistry running through the team.

    24. Hey Rodrigo
      Can you give me some advises about new team around aubameyang. I used to play with 4-5-1, 4-4-1-1 but it’s ok if you have any better formation.
      I have auba, j.hernandez and kruse now. Last, i domt have much money so can you make a squad with <85 rated players. Thanks so much.

    25. IF Gonzalo Castro – Xabi Alonso or Luiz Gust for 433(2) CDM. I try to play possesion but I can go on fast attacks

      IF Naldo or IF Hummels? OR use BOTH and get rid of Boateng?

      Last, IF Muller or IF Max Kruse FOR Attacking CM?

      — Pace Doesn’t matter for me, but If you think it will make a big impact, I leave the choice to you.

      Thank you.

    26. Hey,Rodrigo is fifa 15’s 86-rated getze better than fifa 16’s vidal as a cam?

        1. Hi and thanks for the answer…so I have the following players : Vidal,Schweinsteiger,Lahm,Muller.I play 4-1-2-1-2.I don’t know which 2 players are the best for the CAM and CDM positions. What do you think?

    27. Greetings. As always it is a pleasure to read your guides, even though based on personal experience on low-budget teams I do have my own personal oppinions on two subjects:

      First one, maybe you left out some pretty good options for the low budget team on the attacking side. Tewny mentioned Max Kruse (who is honestly amazing and has scored almost every match he’s played); I’d complement his comment with Raffael, who’s pretty fun to use as well (his double 4* stats are amazing). They outshine Ramos and even Choupo-Moting on great scale, and the best part is that they’re very versatile, as CF allows one to play them at CAM with only a slight chemistry downgrade.

      On my second disagreement, Junuzovic surely deserves a higher score on your ratings. Personally he’s only second to Vidal, and it’s all because of his all-rounded stats. On my perception of FIFA 16 so far, this is definitely the kind of thing you’re looking in your CM. And fortunately enough, he’s cheap enough to even make it in your low-budget team, but from what I’ve experienced he should cost even 3x more, and that’s keeping it low.

      Maybe I could argue Vieirinha being a sub, as he’s not only proven to be fun, but efficient when needed inside the box. To be fair, I haven’t tried Volland yet, though.

      Also, I think that based on my previous comments Choupo-Moting definitely outshines Kießling and Ramos; I guess you can infer my reasons for this being said (as a Colombian it was particularly hard to admit it).

      Finally, I can bet you could make a extra low-budget team with pretty amazing results. I’ve had interesting experiences with lots of other players. Bundesliga surely is one of the most entertaining leagues.

      Thank you very much for your attention, and if you’re interested in my point of view please let me know, I’d be glad to be of any assistance.

    28. At the moment I use Lahm and Vidal as holding midfielders with Muller as my CAM,who would you chose for a back up CAM?Gotze?

        1. The price of players has really dropped over the last week,I sold my entire team the other day with the idea of buying back a better squad.The price of Reus has dropped from 200k to roughly 120k on the Xbox.Do you see the prices dropping even further?do you think waiting for Black Friday is a good idea?

            1. Seems that Fifa haven’t put any special packs on for this years Black Friday,iv noticed the prices have gone back up.

    29. Hey Rodrigo,

      Which league (Bundes, Serie A, etc) do you think is the best in terms of overall player quality for a reasonable price (no guys like Ronaldo, Messi who are over 1 mil…). Do you think sticking to one league is better than making hybrid squads?

      I look forward to hearing back from you,

      Mike

    30. Hi your guides is the best guides i found on the net i would like to know your thoughts on my squad
      GK NEUR
      LB ALABA
      CB BOATENG
      CB S RAMOS/ THIAGO SILVA (WHICH ONE YOU RECOMMEND? )
      RB DANI ALVES
      CM VIDAL
      CM MODRIC /OZIL NEED ADVICE ON THIS AS WELL
      CAM J RODRIGUEZ /DE BRUYNE NEED OPINION
      LW HAZZARD
      RW ROBBEN /BALE NEED ADVICE
      ST AGUERO /AUBAMEYANG
      I’m okay with coins so if you want me to buy anything just let me know please

    31. Hi Rodrigo, First of all I would like to say I love your guides and I have been reading them for some time.
      So I decided to build a bundesliga squad: 4-1-4-1
      IF Fahrmann
      Piszczek – Hummels – Boateng – Alaba
      Lahm
      Douglas Costa – Vidal – Thiago – Reus
      Lewandowski

      My question, Vidal is my box to box and Thiago is the offensive cm,should I use Müller as my offensive cm or should I stick with Thiago? and If I can improve this squad, how can I? Should I stick with 4141 or a formation change? I want to play possesion football kinda like Bayern in real life. Thank you very much!

    32. Hi Rodrigo which one do you think is better as a CDM? This year’s Lahm or past year’s Schweinsteiger?

    33. Hey rodrigo. I would like to ask which of the low and mid budget squads you have built:serie a,liga bbva, bpl or bundesliga do you think is the best and has the most value for money?

    34. Which of the low budget teams that you created : liga bbva, bpl, bundesliga,serie a do you think is the best one?

    35. I have been using Muller at CAM and he is amazing. Im suprised the guide only looks at him as a striker option

      1. You need to read the whole article!
        From the unlimited budget squad description:
        If about Lewandowski it isn’t needed to say anything, about Aubameyang it may be a bit different. He got this position because he is really fast and he has good attacking stats. If you play with a 4312 formation, for example, Thomas Müller will be perfect to play behind them.”

    36. Rodrigo, Great guide – still following you – a typo I noticed on LM`s summary you used Serie A words, all the best

    37. Hey Rodrigo,

      Great post, as per usual. However, one thin i noticed is that there seems to be a mistake when talking about the LWs. You start out by saying “There is lack of quality left wingers in Bundesliga. It’s probably the weakest position of this league.” Then, you begin to discuss Serie A TIM LW-ers: “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…”

      Just thought I’d give you a heads up!

      Best,

      Mike

    38. Marvin Martínez

      What do you think of Aubameyang? I’ve never had a Bundes team in the fiveFIFA’s in which I’ve played FUT. My friends say Auba is not really good as he feels unbalanced. I mean the 66 Balance stat he has. I’ve tried high rated players with low balance in the past and found out their long shot and ‘composure’ when finishing seems to be affected by this stat. Sometimes rushed or bad posture while shooting from distance, results in a badly directed shot. Or a miss, if in the area and not using finesse.

      As all your content, awesome guide. Thank you for your possible insight.
