Anyone who has ever played FIFA Ultimate Team knows full well there are players out there who spend hundreds and thousands of dollars on packs, hoping to bag themselves the game’s top talent. We have all faced an opponent whose team is packed with 90+ rated players! Unfortunately, most FIFA players cannot afford to throw cash at the lottery of FUT packs, so they must revert to grinding their way to a team of stellar players. It is not easy to do this, but this article will help lessen the grind by giving you some FIFA 23 Ultimate Team tips.
Decide Your Team Build Early
Most FIFA Ultimate Team players build their teams around a particular league, usually from one of Europe’s top five leagues: the English Premier League, the French Ligue 1, Germany’s Bundesliga, Italy’s Serie A, or Spain’s La Liga. The world’s best players are concentrated in these competitions, and choosing players from one specific league helps with the vital chemistry metric. People tend to know a lot about these five leagues because they are frequently shown on television, and punters place wagers on them at onlinesportsbetting.net. The English Premier League is the most popular football competition globally and has the best players. However, its popularity and that of FIFA’s top players results in you paying a premium for those players, which is bad news if you are on a budget. Look for players from lesser-known teams if you go down the route of a league-based build because there are some bargains to be had. Avoiding teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona in Spain’s La Liga can often see you turn up some real gems of players who non-die-hard fans are not aware of. Consider building a team based on the players’ nationalities. This presents you with a different challenge early in the building of your squad, but your team will soon be brimming with elite talent, many for bargain prices. France is the best country for nationality-based builds thanks to the abundance of superstar players and some superb athletes who many do not consider for their team. For example, Anthony Martial is out of favor at Manchester United and is available for around 4,000 coins. You get an 80+ rated player with four-star skill moves, a four-star weak foot, and 84 sprint speed for that affordable sum.
Complete Objectives Early
Each FIFA title comes with more than a dozen objectives that award coins, players, and consumables. Many players neglect to complete these simple tasks; do not be one of them. While some of the players you receive are untradeable, they can give your squad a little, much-needed boost while you are in the building process. Most packs and players you receive from the simple in-game objectives will not be top-rated, but they are almost certainly guaranteed to be better than players in your current line-up.
Take Advantage of Squad Building Challenges
Do not underestimate the viability of the various Squad Building Challenges (SBC) that run throughout the season. Some of the SBCs are pretty challenging and are often expensive because they require specifically rated players. However, if you never sell any of the players you pack from completing challenges or climbing divisions, you will often have a surplus of talent that you can use to complete the SBCs.
Grind the Divisional Rivals
Divisional Rivals is a great way to hone your FIFA skills in addition to earning yourself some fantastic free rewards. Not only does each qualifying game award precious coins, but the rewards for reaching the higher tiers are also sometimes quite spectacular. You will find you hit an ability ceiling whether you play against the AI or online against a human, but even the weakest FIFA player should be able to climb up a few divisions and bag some free swag.
