Introduction to the FUT 16 Ligue 1 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 Ligue 1. Even the players that have a Ligue 1 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 Ligue 1 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 Ligue 1 teams are suggested, the prices considered are the ones of the date of the guide’s publication: November 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.

     
     


     
     
     
     
     

    Best FIFA 16 Ligue 1 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.

    Ruffier and Mandanda are the most popular Ligue 1 goalkeepers.

     

    MOST HIGH-RATED GOALKEEPERS
    Stéphane Ruffier 83 Saint-Etienne FRA
    Steve Mandanda 83 Marseille FRA
    Kevin Trapp 82 PSG GER
    Salvatore Sirigu 82 PSG ITA
    Danijel Subašić 81 AS Monaco CRO
    Anthony Lopes 81 Olympique Lyon POR
    Vincent Enyeama 81 LOSC Lille NIG
    Benoît Costil 81 Stade Rennais FRA
    Cédric Carrasso 80 Bordeaux FRA
    Rémy Riou 79 FC Nantes FRA
    Geoffrey Jourdren 77 Montpellier HSC FRA
    Rémy Vercoutre 76 SM Caen FRA
    Kossi Agassa 76 Stade Reims TOG
    Johny Placide 75 Stade Reims HAI
    Jonas Lössl 75 EA Guingamp DEN


     

    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.

    Enyeama is the goalkeeper with best reflexes in the world. Nobody is better than him.

     

    GOALKEEPERS WITH BEST REFLEXES
    Vincent Enyeama 90 LOSC Lille NIG
    Anthony Lopes 87 Olympique Lyon POR
    Stéphane Ruffier 86 Saint-Etienne FRA
    Kevin Trapp 85 PSG GER
    Benoît Costil 85 Stade Rennais FRA
    Steve Mandanda 84 Marseille FRA
    Salvatore Sirigu 84 PSG ITA
    Danijel Subašić 83 AS Monaco CRO
    Cédric Carrasso 82 Bordeaux FRA
    Geoffrey Jourdren 81 Montpellier HSC FRA
    Kossi Agassa 81 Stade Reims TOG
    Rémy Riou 80 FC Nantes FRA
    Jonas Lössl 80 EA Guingamp DEN
    Benjamin Lecomte 79 FC Lorient FRA
    Rémy Vercoutre 78 SM Caen FRA


     

    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, Mandanda and Lopes are the best ones.

     

    GOALKEEPER WITH BEST DIVING
    Steve Mandanda 85 Marseille FRA
    Anthony Lopes 85 Olympique Lyon POR
    Salvatore Sirigu 84 PSG ITA
    Stéphane Ruffier 83 Saint-Etienne FRA

    Rémy Riou 78 FC Nantes FRA
    Kossi Agassa 78 Stade Reims TOG
    Rémy Vercoutre 78 SM Caen FRA
    Benjamin Lecomte 78 FC Lorient FRA


     

    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.

    Jonas Lössl is the tallest goalkeeper, 11cm taller than Anthony Lopes.

     

    TALLEST GOALKEEPERS
    Jonas Lössl 195 / 6′5″ EA Guingamp DEN
    Salvatore Sirigu 192 / 6′4″ PSG ITA
    Danijel Subašić 191 / 6′3″ AS Monaco CRO
    Kossi Agassa 190 / 6′3″ Stade Reims TOG
    Kevin Trapp 189 / 6′2″ PSG GER
    Rémy Riou 189 / 6′2″ FC Nantes FRA
    Stéphane Ruffier 188 / 6′2″ Saint-Etienne FRA
    Benoît Costil 188 / 6′2″ Stade Rennais FRA
    Cédric Carrasso 187 / 6′2″ Bordeaux FRA
    Steeve Elana 187 / 6′2″ LOSC Lille FRA
    Benjamin Lecomte 186 / 6′1″ FC Lorient FRA
    Nicolas Douchez 186 / 6′1″ PSG FRA
    Steve Mandanda 185 / 6′1″ Marseille FRA
    Rémy Vercoutre 185 / 6′1″ SM Caen FRA
    Anthony Lopes 184 / 6′0″ Olympique Lyon POR


     

    The choice for the best Ligue 1 goalkeeper on FIFA 16 Ultimate Team is not easy.

    In our opinion, Ruffier is the best goalkeeper in this league. He is better than Mandanda in four of the six attributes, besides being also taller.

    Anthony Lopes and Enyeama are two god alternatives for low budgets squads.

    Best FIFA 16 Ligue 1 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.

    The two centre backs from the Brazil National Team are the best Ligue 1 players playing in this position.

     

    HIGHEST RATED CENTRE BACKS
    Thiago Silva 88 PSG BRA
    David Luiz 83 PSG BRA
    Loïc Perrin 82 Saint-Etienne FRA
    Nicolas Nkoulou 81 Marseille CAM
    Marquinhos 81 PSG BRA
    Marko Baša 80 LOSC Lille MON
    Samuel Umtiti 79 Olympique Lyon FRA
    Lamine Sané 79 Bordeaux SEN
    Andrea Raggi 79 AS Monaco ITA
    Mapou Yanga-M’Biwa 78 Olympique Lyon FRA
    Mexer 78 Stade Rennais MOZ
    Ricardo Carvalho 78 AS Monaco POR
    Moustapha Sall 78 Saint-Etienne SEN
    Hilton 78 Montpellier HSC BRA
    Lorik Cana 78 FC Nantes ALB


     

    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.

    Thiago Silva is the player with best defending stat in the world.

     

    CENTRE BACKS WITH BEST DEFENDING
    Thiago Silva 90 PSG BRA
    Loïc Perrin 85 Saint-Etienne FRA
    Marquinhos 84 PSG BRA
    David Luiz 82 PSG BRA
    Nicolas Nkoulou 82 Marseille CAM
    Marko Baša 81 LOSC Lille MON
    Andrea Raggi 81 AS Monaco ITA

    Samuel Umtiti 80 Olympique Lyon FRA
    Lamine Sané 80 Bordeaux SEN

    Ricardo Carvalho 80 AS Monaco POR
    Moustapha Sall 80 Saint-Etienne SEN
    Mapou Yanga-M’Biwa 79 Olympique Lyon FRA
    Milan Biševac 79 Olympique Lyon 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 Moustapha Sall and Florentin Pogba are the strongest ones.

     

    CENTRE BACKS WITH BEST PHYSICAL
    Moustapha Sall 86 Saint-Etienne SEN
    Florentin Pogba 83 Saint-Etienne GUI
    Lorik Cana 82 FC Nantes ALB
    Nicolas Pallois 82 Bordeaux FRA
    Loïc Perrin 80 Saint-Etienne FRA
    Marko Baša 80 LOSC Lille MON
    Mapou Yanga-M’Biwa 80 Olympique Lyon FRA
    Mathieu Bodmer 80 OGC Nice FRA
    Thiago Silva 79 PSG BRA
    Samuel Umtiti 79 Olympique Lyon FRA
    Renato Civelli 79 LOSC Lille ARG
    Jean-Armel Kana-Biyik 79 Toulouse FC CAM
    Lamine Sané 78 Bordeaux SEN
    Oswaldo Vizcarrondo 78 FC Nantes VEN
    David Luiz 77 PSG BRA


     

    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.

    Only Mapou Yanga-M’Biwa and Nkoulou are faster than Thiago Silva.

     

    CENTRE BACKS WITH BEST PACE
    Nicolas Nkoulou 76 Marseille CAM
    Mapou Yanga-M’Biwa 76 Olympique Lyon FRA
    Thiago Silva 74 PSG BRA
    Samuel Umtiti 74 Olympique Lyon FRA
    David Luiz 73 PSG BRA
    Marquinhos 73 PSG BRA
    Jérémy Morel 73 Olympique Lyon FRA
    Loïc Perrin 72 Saint-Etienne FRA
    Jean-Armel Kana-Biyik 72 Toulouse FC CAM
    Karim Rekik 72 Marseille NED
    Christophe Kerbrat 71 EA Guingamp FRA
    Lamine Sané 70 Bordeaux SEN
    Mexer 70 Stade Rennais MOZ
    Uroš Spajić 68 Toulouse FC SRB
    Florentin Pogba 64 Saint-Etienne GUI


     

    Thiago Silva is the obvious first choice for this position. He is probably the best centre back in the world.

    David Luiz is our second choice. He looks like Thiago Silva but with a much worse defensive stat and work rate. Perrin, Marquinhos and Nkoulou are decent alternatives.

    Mapou Yanga-M’Biwa is our economic choice. Marko Basa is a much better choice for who doesn’t need a pacey defender.

    Best FIFA 16 Ligue 1 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.

    Serge Aurier is the most popular right back playing in Ligue 1.

     

    HIGHEST RATED RIGHT BACKS
    Serge Aurier 80 PSG IVC
    Aïssa Mandi 79 Stade Reims ALG
    Christophe Jallet 79 Olympique Lyon FRA
    Gregory van der Wiel 78 PSG NED

    Rafael 77 Olympique Lyon BRA
    Mauricio Isla 77 Marseille CHI
    Sébastien Corchia 77 LOSC Lille FRA
    Brice Dja Djédjé 76 Marseille IVC
    Romain Danzé 75 Stade Rennais FRA


     

    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 France, no one defends as well as Aïssa Mandi.

     

    RIGHT BACKS WITH BEST DEFENDING
    Aïssa Mandi 82 Stade Reims ALG
    Serge Aurier 78 PSG IVC
    Christophe Jallet 78 Olympique Lyon FRA
    Fabinho 78 AS Monaco BRA

    Romain Danzé 77 Stade Rennais FRA
    Gregory van der Wiel 76 PSG NED
    Rafael 76 Olympique Lyon BRA
    Mauricio Isla 76 Marseille CHI
    Brice Dja Djédjé 73 Marseille IVC


     

    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.

    Gregory van der Wiel was downgraded this season and Aurier is now the fastest right back playing in France.

     

    RIGHT BACKS WITH BEST PACE
    Serge Aurier 85 PSG IVC
    Brice Dja Djédjé 83 Marseille IVC

    Christophe Jallet 74 Olympique Lyon FRA
    Fabinho 74 AS Monaco BRA
    Aïssa Mandi 71 Stade Reims ALG
    Romain Danzé 68 Stade Rennais FRA


     

    Serge Aurier is undoubtedly the best right back playing on Ligue 1. He has the best pace, dribbling and physical stats. Gregory van der Wiel is the best alternative to him.

    Even without being a great player, Mauricio Isla is our economic choice.

    Best FIFA 16 Ligue 1 Left Backs

    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.

    Fábio Coentrão and Kurzawa are the most used Ligue 1 left backs by Ultimate Team fans.

    Franck Béria 70 LOSC Lille FRA


     

    Kurzawa is much better this year. In our opinion, he is the best left back of Ligue 1.

    Coentrão was a good addition and Maxwell is the best value for money.

    Best FIFA 16 Ligue 1 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.

    In the world, the only defensive midfielders with better ratings than Matuidi are Busquets and Lahm.

     

    HIGHEST RATED CENTRAL DEFENSIVE MIDFIELDERS
    Blaise Matuidi 84 PSG FRA
    Jérémy Toulalan 82 AS Monaco FRA
    Maxime Gonalons 82 Olympique Lyon FRA
    Thiago Motta 81 PSG ITA
    Lassana Diarra 80 Marseille FRA

    Sergi Darder 76 Olympique Lyon ESP
    Younousse Sankharé 75 EA Guingamp FRA
    Alaixys Romao 75 Marseille TOG
    Abou Diaby 75 Marseille FRA


     

    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.

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

    Younousse Sankharé 72 EA Guingamp FRA
    Alaixys Romao 72 Marseille TOG
    Abou Diaby 72 Marseille FRA


     

    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.

    Alaixys Romao is the best on this side. Lassana Diarra, however, is quite the disappointment. He is one of the worst between all gold players.

    Lucas Silva 76 Marseille BRA
    Grégory Sertic 73 Bordeaux FRA
    Lassana Diarra 69 Marseille FRA


     

    Blaise Matuidi is our first choice for this position. He is a very balanced player, who has the best defending stats, an amazing stamina (94) and a good work rate to play everywhere.

    Toulalan and Thiago Motta are too slow, Diaby is not a good defender and Diarra is weak. We prefer Maxime Gonalons, one of the players with best defending and physical stats.

    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.

    Di Maria came from Barclays PL 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.

    Pastore, Di Maria, Verratti, Moutinho and Grenier have great passing stat.

    Sofiane Boufal 74 LOSC Lille MOR


     

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

    In this league, only Verratti has better dribbling than Di Maria and Pastore.

    Di Maria is undoubtedly the best player for this position. He has an amazing cocktail of dribbling, passing and pace. That’s why he is so expensive. Pastore is much better this year and should be used if you can’t pay Di Maria.

    João Moutinho, our favourite of last year, is now the economic choice.

    Best FIFA 16 Ligue 1 Right Wingers

    RM | RW | RF
     

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

    Lucas is the right winger most popular in Ligue 1.

     

    HIGHEST RATED RIGHT WINGERS
    Lucas 82 PSG BRA
    Romain Hamouma 79 Saint-Etienne FRA
    Bernardo Silva 79 AS Monaco POR
    Hatem Ben Arfa 79 OGC Nice FRA
    Lucas Ocampos 77 Marseille ARG
    Romain Alessandrini 76 Marseille FRA
    Benjamin Moukandjo 75 FC Lorient CAM
    Pedro Henrique 75 Stade Rennais BRA
    Yann Jouffre 75 FC Lorient FRA
    Nabil Dirar 75 AS Monaco MOR


     

    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 Ligue 1 is extremely well served in this chapter. Three gold players have pace higher than 90, being the highlighted Lucas.

     

    FASTEST RIGHT WINGERS
    Lucas 93 PSG BRA
    Romain Alessandrini 91 Marseille FRA
    Benjamin Moukandjo 91 FC Lorient CAM
    Pedro Henrique 85 Stade Rennais BRA
    Romain Hamouma 83 Saint-Etienne FRA
    Nabil Dirar 81 AS Monaco MOR
    Bernardo Silva 79 AS Monaco POR
    Hatem Ben Arfa 78 OGC Nice FRA
    Lucas Ocampos 78 Marseille ARG
    Yann Jouffre 71 FC Lorient FRA


     

    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 few players gifted in dribbling, being Lucas (again!) the best one.

     

    RIGHT WINGERS WITH BEST DRIBLLING
    Lucas 87 PSG BRA
    Hatem Ben Arfa 86 OGC Nice FRA
    Bernardo Silva 82 AS Monaco POR
    Romain Hamouma 81 Saint-Etienne FRA
    Romain Alessandrini 79 Marseille FRA
    Pedro Henrique 79 Stade Rennais BRA
    Nabil Dirar 79 AS Monaco MOR
    Lucas Ocampos 78 Marseille ARG
    Benjamin Moukandjo 77 FC Lorient CAM
    Yann Jouffre 76 FC Lorient FRA


     

    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.

    Passing is not one of the good things the right wingers of this league have.

     

    RIGHT WINGERS WITH BEST PASSING

    Pedro Henrique 72 Stade Rennais BRA
    Nabil Dirar 72 AS Monaco MOR
    Romain Alessandrini 71 Marseille FRA
    Benjamin Moukandjo 69 FC Lorient CAM


     

    To us and probably to everyone, it is extremely easy to choose the best right winger from Ligue 1: Lucas. The Brazilian player is the best one in all the most important attributes, except passing.

    Romain Hamouma is our economic choice. Great value for money.

    Best FIFA 16 Ligue 1 Left Wingers

    LM | LW | LF
     

    The left wingers have exactly the same role as their team mates from the other side.

    Lavezzi and El Sharawy are the two most popular left wingers playing in Ligue 1, but it doesn’t mean they are the best ones.

    Ivan Cavaleiro 68 AS Monaco POR

    Despite being less popular than El Shaarawy and Lavezzi, Ntep is the best left winger playing in Ligue 1. He is extremely fast and has a great dribbling, something so important this year.

    If you don’t have enough coins to buy any of them, you will have to buy El Shaarawy or Lavezzi.

    For low budgets teams, Raphaël Guerreiro is a good choice. He is perfect if you need someone able to help the defence.

    Best FIFA 16 Ligue 1 Forwards

    CF | ST
     

    The forwards are the players on which fall the most responsibility of scoring goals.

    Ibrahimovic is the biggest name of Ligue 1.

     

    HIGHEST RATED FORWARDS
    Zlatan Ibrahimović 89 PSG SWE
    Edinson Cavani 85 PSG URU

    Nolan Roux 75 Saint-Etienne FRA
    Alassane Pléa 75 OGC Nice FRA


     

    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.

    Only Cristiano Ronaldo has better shooting than Zlatan Ibrahimović.

    Jimmy Briand 74 EA Guingamp FRA


     

    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.

    Once again, Ibra is the player with best physical.

    Diego Rolán 64 Bordeaux URU
    Claudio Beauvue 61 Olympique Lyon FRA


     

    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.

    This is the weakest point of Ibrahimović. Twelve other strikers are faster than him.

    There is a top forward on Ligue 1: Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The Swedish player is the best forward of this league. He is the one with best shooting, passing, physical, positioning, ball control, crossing, free kick accuracy, shooting power, strength, long shooting…

    Lacazette, our previous economic choice, is now the best alternative to Ibrahimović.

    Martin Braithwaite and Giovanni Sio are really good choices for teams with low budget.

    Ligue 1 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.

      In the goal, Ruffier is the right choice. He is better than Mandanda in almost everything.

      Thiago Silva, David Luiz, Aurier and Kurzawa are untouchable in the the defence. You just need to use other players if you don’t have enough coins to buy these ones.

      In Ligue 1, there is no one as good to keep the defence well protected as Matuidi. For the next position, Di Maria is the most balanced player. Lucas and Ntep are the best choices to the wings.

      If your budget allows you, of course, Ibrahimovic and Lacazette are the obvious choices for the attack line. For lower budgets, Cavani is a interesting player.

      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.

      David Luiz and Thiago Silva are too expensive to be used in the medium budget squad and for that reason they must be replaced by Perrin and Marquinhos. Ruffier, Aurier and Kurzawa are the other players of the defence.

      The most exciting positions on this team are in the midfield. Verratti builds up the first barrier between your goal line and the opponent, making his defensiveness and physicality count. Moutinho and Pastore are responsible to attack.

      In the wings, Ntep and Ben Arfa have the mission to assist Cavani.

      If you still have some room in your budget, David Luiz and Lacazette 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, Anthony Lopes is a decent very cheap goalkeeper. Sane, Umtiti, Isla and Maxwell are the four other defenders.

      On the midfield, Toulalan and Cabella complete each other well. The first one plays as a defensive midfielder while the second is used to assisting his team mates. Bernardo Silva and Raphael Guerreiro fill the wings in order to assist Braithwaite and Sio, both great value for money.

    1. Hi Rodrigo,

      I created a Ligue 1 team, with som hybrids.
      Who do you tink I should go after at RB, alt. do Diarra (Have MOTM Veratti) and maybe an alt. to Lacazette (I want TOTS Benzema) CDM are powerful and Pogba/Ben Arfa are creative.

      https://www.futbin.com/16/squad/646924

      Have a nice day!

    2. Hi Rodrigo

      My team taking the PSG spin is:

      Trapp (84-IF)

    3. Hi Rodrigo,Because the comments section on the Bpl squad guide is now closed can I ask you a quick question. Who is the 5th best bpl striker after Aguero,Costa,Rooney and Sturridge.Also who is the 5th best midfielder after de bruyne,silva,Toure and fabregas.
      Regards,

    4. Hi, I totally agree with first comment, Ben Yedder is a hidden gem. He has hidden stats that make the difference in game. 4* skill, 5* WF, 91 agility, 83 finishing, and you don’t feel that 57 strenght (maybe because of balance 82?)
      He is the Ligue 1 Palacio 😀

    5. Hey,Rodrigo if we take into account that the only players I can’t afford are Messi and Ronaldo which ligue-based squad (BPL,Liga BBVA,Bundesliga etc)do you think is the best this year?

    6. Hi Rodrigo, hope you can give suggestion on building some best national teams in FUT 16, for example Spain, Belgium and Netherlands. Thank you!

    7. Tried playing with a mostly PSG team, and it didn’t work out, it was really weird but nothing seemed to go as I wanted with that team.

      I’m now playing with a Serie A team, and I am winning a lot more games. With a strong midfield I intercept and take back possession a lot more than with any other League/team.

    8. Ive tried most ligue1 attackers the one that has suprised me the most is ben yedder. He is truelly a hidden gem. For cam possision i prefer Grenier, sure he is low pace.Hes my top scorer in my team. Also his high pass made him top in assist too. Valbuenna underperform every single match. While Grenier always is in the right possision to score
