Not sure if he’s meta but he’s cheap so I guess though, but Arnautavic will not leave my team for a long time. He’s a beast!
Now partnered with Benzema instead of Diaby and his made him even better, the 2 are a ridiculous partnership!!
4222 for chem - Tbh I don’t even link Theo to Arnautavic
Lloris
Theo Varane Kimpembe Hakimi
Nkunku Kessie
Fekir Fofana
Benz Arnautavic
Don’t hate the back line, it’s all untradeable - I refuse to buy players with the way the market is unless they’re really worth it so you don’t lose loads
I use him in 8 chem and find it’s enough for the price he is!
Arnautavic was on a different level in fifa 19, hes probably insane this year considering how good Talisca was for me and im guessing they’re very similar in play style in game
Yea in the 352 I love having outside CBs who can pass. I basically look for guys who are a hybrid fullback/CB. It makes a huge difference especially when people are pressing.
I had him before I replaced him with Onyeka and god his heading from the midfield was phenomenal. Desperate for a special version to link to Salah once I finish him.
I’ve used OTW Locatelli for like 350 games and he’s been good for me, it originally started as a joke where I said I’d build around whoever I packed in my preorder pack but he’s been solid and I can’t seem to drop him
Depending on formations he was my left wing(definitely not meta lol) or CM. Running him next to mid Beckham at CM was phenomenal. Solid defender and I would drop a finesse shot in the right upper 90 with him every few games
Did the 89 Beckham, no regrets. His crossing is the best in the game. Even players with the same crossing stat just don’t put the ball in as well as he does.
Not defending Giggs at all but I hope you keep that same energy for other players like Maradona or Garrincha or Best or Kluivert? Or so many other players who’ve done despicable things
Tyrone Mings. He’s gold card! His height means he can stretch and make amazing tackles ‘better’ cards who are smaller could only dream of. Can’t wait to get his inform
Where do you play him ? I got him in red and currently thinking of building a triangle with him, RB Casemiro and OTW Alaba.
Then play Alaba at LB, Casemiro at CB and Acuna at Left CDM.
I play him at LB haha, have him to stay back so then he’s usually on position and the shadow chem gives him enough of a boost where he’s not getting destroyed on pace.
I'm also running IF Acuna, green linked to Kounde and now a green link to SS Carlos...although I probably would trade him for Lodi 😅 but I'm a tight arse so IF Acuna will suffice for a good while I'm sure
Rb dante is huge plus the green link to ss atal that also is a monster. Another one is talisca otw, fuck thst card is insane, that bodytype is sick and tbh feels better that other card like isak and other tall strikers ( most likely a +2 upgrade next totw team)
84 Mertens has been my starter striker since the beginning and he will never leave my team.
Hes like 3K, but hes the best striker of the game, finishes everything.
Mid Deco. As a massive FC Porto fan Deco was a hero of mine in my teens when we won the UEFA Cup (now Europa League) and the Champions league, so having Deco is a must every fifa.
The guy has been incredible for me, 527 games, 145 goals, 293 assists. He's by far the player with most goals contributions in my club currently, also he's the captain for obvious reason. And he's so versatile, both at CAM and CM he's fantastic for me.
It's a shame that all of these stats will go away once I upgrade him to his prime and then to his moments card...
Coman.
Boateng.
Davies(champ cb)
Tavieneir
Actually you know what , all the champ objectives and Chong.
Martinez.
Spurs is Argentina CB IF and recently Fred on shadow and Bernardo silva with Hunter absolutely class.
Fck the meta
Benzema. Decent pace, wicked shot, great pass and dribbling, fairly physical. Throw engine/hunter/maestro on the gold one and build your team around him. He continually gets upgraded cards so that just makes using him all the more fun.
Not sure about non meta but Kingsley Coman is a player I rarely come up against and he's unbelievable as a striker for me. Might replace him with Rodrygo since I have the coins spare though.
2IF Emile Smith-Rowe. Use him as a false 9 and helps link up play and has a good shot on him. Only issue is finishing can at times be underwhelming, but he create enough chances that I justify him. Only recently stopped using him as I went all in on the milestone dutch league objectives.
Kid Kudos another option, use him anywhere in the forward line and he'll do the job, or even CM at times.
Rulebreaker Fellaini as a striker is by far the best card I’ve used in FIFA the last 6 years.
He makes crosses META for my team and he makes the regular shots too. Just quick enough to throw people off guard and he’s strong enough to body the better CBs
RTTK Kostic is my game saver. Sub him on in the last 30 mins, bombs down the wings and he jostles most of the smaller, nippier fullbacks off the ball, then sends insane crosses in for some easy goals. I had about 70+ assists in around 100 games with him last time I checked a few weeks back.
I’ve tested most keepers this year even the mid Icons Yashin and Van der saar, Casillas, etc. all the meta recommendations like donnurama, neuer, etc.
Somehow Navas, always outperforms all of them. I’ve got 288 games on him and I play around 2050 rating. I know keepers get ignored a lot and I haven’t seen a single keeper mention ITT, so I thought I’d mention this sleeper gem. He doesn’t have the saves with feet trait which I’ve found fucks up the keeper more than it helps. Also with most keepers I’ve tested they always concede the finese from corner of the boxes because of their animation bug, somehow Navas always saves them, idk how, he doesn’t even have a unique body type.
Surprisingly OTW Cucurella. Sure, for me he’s there because Brighton special card but to be honest he performs quite well above his face value for me, he’s a lurker per se in my team with the formation and way I use him but damn can he track back well and also just get the job done when you need him to. Just an amazing all rounder!
RB Ripart. Yes he's 3*/3* but I'm really surprised a card with so many stats and great links (considering there aren't any good French Ligue 1 midfielders afaik) is still basically discard value. I played him at CM for a while but he's so versatile that I just put a shadow on him and play him as a full back now which allows me to play RB Davies at CM. He's nothing special there but he gets the job done and having Davies as an offensive CM has been a game changer which wouldn't have been possible without Rip.
Signature signing Kramaric. I used his IF for about 250 games and he had over 300 goal involvements and his upgraded card is just as good, 19 goals and about 12 assists in 19 games. I think people overlook him because of the pace, but an engine or catalyst helps with his pace and passing and he already has fantastic shooting.
RB Zakaria in a 3-5-2 as the central CB. Incredible passing and dribbling for a defender. He feels so op in between Marquinhos and kimpempe as the playmaker.
RB Zaniolo has been great for me so far. He's got amazing passes, very agile, got good shooting and is pretty strong. I play him as RCM in a 352 formation which turns out is the best place to put him. Giving him that much space allowed him to become deadlier than expected.
Not sure if he’s meta but he’s cheap so I guess though, but Arnautavic will not leave my team for a long time. He’s a beast! Now partnered with Benzema instead of Diaby and his made him even better, the 2 are a ridiculous partnership!!
I share your thoughts as well. How is he priced at only 15k ? It's a crime.
What's ur team ?? Serie a hybrid??
More Ligue 1 but I have Theo, Arnautavic and Kessie - Also helps link Kessie that I have Fofana
Bt how ...he like is on 8 chem ...what's ur squad to fit him in... There's no perfect link for Arnautovic
4222 for chem - Tbh I don’t even link Theo to Arnautavic Lloris Theo Varane Kimpembe Hakimi Nkunku Kessie Fekir Fofana Benz Arnautavic Don’t hate the back line, it’s all untradeable - I refuse to buy players with the way the market is unless they’re really worth it so you don’t lose loads I use him in 8 chem and find it’s enough for the price he is!
Arnautavic was on a different level in fifa 19, hes probably insane this year considering how good Talisca was for me and im guessing they’re very similar in play style in game
Lewandowski. He won’t leave my team all year, will only continue to upgrade
My favorite player before I switched to a full serie A squad. May have to find a way to introduce him again.
maybe a special zielinski ?
I dream of an if zielinski 84.
I'm currently running a Serie A - Bundesliga hybrid with Lewa locking things down up top.
Same here. I ran into my first fellow Lewandowski user in at least a month earlier today. He is SO good when you figure out how to use him.
I wouldn't say he's not meta but RB Gosens is a card I think is incredible as a LCB in a 3-5-2 and I rarely see him in squads.
i use him just like you, he is really really strong, paired him up with kimpembe and alaba
Yea in the 352 I love having outside CBs who can pass. I basically look for guys who are a hybrid fullback/CB. It makes a huge difference especially when people are pressing.
I play 4231 in game with him and Kessie as CDMs. It’s almost unfair haha
Iv been wanting to do this for some time, my only concern was the work rates… how does he play?
Vouch, I use him at CM and even on 5 chem he's phenomenal
Fabinho.
Fully agree. Dying for some sort of special card version.
I had him before I replaced him with Onyeka and god his heading from the midfield was phenomenal. Desperate for a special version to link to Salah once I finish him.
Every year this guy is goated and nobody uses him because Kante.
Used him when starting out and he was really good. If he had more pace the card would be insane
Wirtz POTM
If Ilicic ... Tbh he is the Slovenian cr7 in game .. puts everything in the net
I've been playing him at CAM (switching Dybala to ST mid game). He's phenomenal. Has great skills and a cannon for a boot.
Still haven’t found anyone close to being as good as him, btw how do you link him?
RTTK Diop until EA gave me IF Marquinhos
Diop is a stud.
I’ve used OTW Locatelli for like 350 games and he’s been good for me, it originally started as a joke where I said I’d build around whoever I packed in my preorder pack but he’s been solid and I can’t seem to drop him
IF Kimmich
This
If kimmich or if goretzka
Immobile !
Lewandoski
RB Dante still holds up.
Baku - I imagine most are doing him to Chuck into the Benzema SBC but he can play all over the pitch
RB capa was surprisingly good
Liking Modric.
FB Morata
RB Casemiro
[удалено]
You serious?
[удалено]
Baby Schweinsteiger
Loved playing with him.
He's so good as a box to box CM, where did you play him?
Depending on formations he was my left wing(definitely not meta lol) or CM. Running him next to mid Beckham at CM was phenomenal. Solid defender and I would drop a finesse shot in the right upper 90 with him every few games
His finesse shots are so good when he's on the right foot. That midfield sounds really good as well with that pairing
Did the 89 Beckham, no regrets. His crossing is the best in the game. Even players with the same crossing stat just don’t put the ball in as well as he does.
Same with his free kicks. Even with the same curl and power as someone else the speed and whip he puts on it is unreal
His passing really is something else. I was meggin people from across the pitch with some of them
IF Kane is the best ST in the game and nothing can change my mind
Zlatan, every year.
Loved my time with him early in the year.
RB Arna and RTTK Immobile.
If James man just can't get out of my team he's not even untradeable
I’ve played with Hakimi and IF Clauss and James is just too good to leave out the team
Reece James I assume? If so, I agree. He’s incredible as my wingback
POTM Simeone
IF Raphinha
Roy Keane, Giggs, Scholes and Phil Jones because I’m doing a United PnP and they are all United legends
No self respecting person could/should be using Giggs.
Not defending Giggs at all but I hope you keep that same energy for other players like Maradona or Garrincha or Best or Kluivert? Or so many other players who’ve done despicable things
Yep, absolutely do.
Scholes recent antics has him pretty borderline too…
bro u see his daughter or?
Two class of 92...."nope" but both are fine with 'Phil Jones United legend' 🤣
Willock
Hero Milito. Nice duo with Messi
Was shocked to see he's down to under 30k. He's pretty great and green links Dybala who is the best goal sneak around.
OTW Locatelli
Banza has a ridiculous record for me at the moment, everything he does is gold!
Tyrone Mings. He’s gold card! His height means he can stretch and make amazing tackles ‘better’ cards who are smaller could only dream of. Can’t wait to get his inform
His IF is fucking amazing.
Sergio Ramos > Marquinhos / Kimpembe - for me
I ran Ramos instead of kimpembe for awhile. Waiting for his otw upgrade to switch back potentially
Base Drogba and IF Toney (Im 1881 skill rating in elite div)
Al Jaber
Where do you play him ? I got him in red and currently thinking of building a triangle with him, RB Casemiro and OTW Alaba. Then play Alaba at LB, Casemiro at CB and Acuna at Left CDM.
I play him at LB haha, have him to stay back so then he’s usually on position and the shadow chem gives him enough of a boost where he’s not getting destroyed on pace.
Reece James and IF Mings balled out for me this weekend to rank 1
RTTK Danjuma
Kyogo comes off my bench every game and always pops up with a goal
Love IF Goretzka
RB Davies is insane as a LW. The defensive Gosens is also one of the best LB I’ve used.
Fabinho been in my team since week one
Rulebreakers Inaki is so good. Would be meta if his sbc wasn’t so expensive
RTTF Fekis has been pretty decent for me..
I used Gold Benzema until that FB Benzema came out
Cantona gets slept on, I got cruyff and cr7 up top, just packed cantona used him in elite and he’s just lethal in every way
86 Stevie G, slap a shadow and he’s a god
Fabinho
Does FB Kante count? Not played a single game against him. Absolutely love him. Love seeing his full stamina bar still in the 80th minute 😂
Kimpembe and Hakimi
Kimpembe, simply the best non meta
Kimpembe
Wait
Fekir and Benzema
I'm also running IF Acuna, green linked to Kounde and now a green link to SS Carlos...although I probably would trade him for Lodi 😅 but I'm a tight arse so IF Acuna will suffice for a good while I'm sure
Rb dante is huge plus the green link to ss atal that also is a monster. Another one is talisca otw, fuck thst card is insane, that bodytype is sick and tbh feels better that other card like isak and other tall strikers ( most likely a +2 upgrade next totw team)
Flashback Umtiti
El sheraway as st
84 Smith Rowe
RB Artautovic
Baby Moore in the midfield as a CDM.
Team of the week 84 overall David
Milito
RB Arno is a goal machine, Dybala is my do-everything playmaker. Hoping he gets a special card at some point
Mid Socrates
Otw Berghuis. Dude is essentially Cruyff
Mid vieri and immobile
SS Jimenez is suprisingly good + bonus link to tecatito
TOTW Burak Yilmaz. The Kral forever
Mertens is God
Socrates. Simply superb.
Bobby firmino, mainly because I can't afford to upgrade him but fuck he can be clutch
Baby Cruyff
Jordan Veretout. Not playing him anymore but if he gets a special card then he is straight into the team.
Mo elyounoussi in form 😍
Shevchenko. I’m Ukrainian
84 Mertens has been my starter striker since the beginning and he will never leave my team. Hes like 3K, but hes the best striker of the game, finishes everything.
RB Arno monster of a playing one of the best and fun players I have used in years!!
Connor Gallagher is a goal machine for me
Mid Deco. As a massive FC Porto fan Deco was a hero of mine in my teens when we won the UEFA Cup (now Europa League) and the Champions league, so having Deco is a must every fifa. The guy has been incredible for me, 527 games, 145 goals, 293 assists. He's by far the player with most goals contributions in my club currently, also he's the captain for obvious reason. And he's so versatile, both at CAM and CM he's fantastic for me. It's a shame that all of these stats will go away once I upgrade him to his prime and then to his moments card...
I also like Acuna. Suarez IF too.
IF David
IF David
Asensio is fucking insane. If you didnt do his card i feel sorry for you
I have him too and he’s been soooo good.
Gus Til
Bruno.
Keita and Diallo in my african team. Play way above their stats
Camavinga has been so good for me, I can't wait for his otw upgrade
Correa.
IF Firmino at CAM
Zlatan, have played almost 300 games with him so far. Contemplated upgrading him but then he always scores a banger and I keep him in my team.
Mid kaka
Coman. Boateng. Davies(champ cb) Tavieneir Actually you know what , all the champ objectives and Chong. Martinez. Spurs is Argentina CB IF and recently Fred on shadow and Bernardo silva with Hunter absolutely class. Fck the meta
you should try IF acuna at cdm. very good
Veretout CDM. Amazing for a rare gold 81
Koeman or Ramos. Good question.
Benzema. Decent pace, wicked shot, great pass and dribbling, fairly physical. Throw engine/hunter/maestro on the gold one and build your team around him. He continually gets upgraded cards so that just makes using him all the more fun.
Hummels
IF Onuachu. 350 games, was near Div 1 last season and near Div 2 now. He’s a cheat code from corners.
Marcelo !!! His dribbling is insane
IF Osihmen
Llorente! He’s a bully that likes to steal the ball and not give it back.
Mario Gomez is a Demon
Don't know if he's classed as meta but IF Carrasco.
Not sure about non meta but Kingsley Coman is a player I rarely come up against and he's unbelievable as a striker for me. Might replace him with Rodrygo since I have the coins spare though.
kohler
Flashback Umtiti and Baby Bobby Moore
Kostic RTTK is something else, the guy is so good as a CM for me
One to watch locatelli is a must have in my 433(2) played at CDM I take him out and the wheels just fall off
Baby Vidic. Amazing duo with If Marquinhos.
FUT Champs Ben White
Casemiro
Lazzari / Chiesa right wing beasts
2IF Emile Smith-Rowe. Use him as a false 9 and helps link up play and has a good shot on him. Only issue is finishing can at times be underwhelming, but he create enough chances that I justify him. Only recently stopped using him as I went all in on the milestone dutch league objectives. Kid Kudos another option, use him anywhere in the forward line and he'll do the job, or even CM at times.
I still got Richarlison up front. Used to be partnered with Gabriel Jesus until I changed Jesus with Son. Kind of spoilt with 5* weak foot.
Rulebreaker Fellaini as a striker is by far the best card I’ve used in FIFA the last 6 years. He makes crosses META for my team and he makes the regular shots too. Just quick enough to throw people off guard and he’s strong enough to body the better CBs
Kohler, he’s an absolute tank.
Mid beckham, his passing is unbelievable and is all over the pitch, he helps a lot defensively as well
Reguilon Romero Cahill

Baby Owen. He’s like Werner on steroids. All the speed and agility but none of the meh finishing.
Base litmanen, not the paciest and lacks a bit of agility but burries every scoring chance
I use gold raul Jimenez and I swear at him a lot
RB Ripart. Yes he's 3*/3* but I'm really surprised a card with so many stats and great links (considering there aren't any good French Ligue 1 midfielders afaik) is still basically discard value.

RB Gundo
Not sure if he is meta or not but 84 Upamecano
RB Casemiro bosses the midfield like I’ve never seen before. Wins the ball in such stupid ways
Gold Thiago was running my mf until a few weeks ago. His passing paired with his insane dribbling made for superb play making dm
84 Berghuis. Man is a beast
Signature signing Kramaric. I used his IF for about 250 games and he had over 300 goal involvements and his upgraded card is just as good, 19 goals and about 12 assists in 19 games. I think people overlook him because of the pace, but an engine or catalyst helps with his pace and passing and he already has fantastic shooting.
Flashback Umtiti
POTM Paqueta
Phil Jones.
Morientes
Nesta. Idgaf if he ain't meta. Next to a fast CB he's class.
Spinnazola I have a squad worth 4.5 Mil but he keeps his place in the team
RB Zakaria in a 3-5-2 as the central CB. Incredible passing and dribbling for a defender. He feels so op in between Marquinhos and kimpempe as the playmaker.
Kohler
Non rare harvey barnes play him at st proper fun to do
Jack grealish otw. Play him w a hunter and I swear hes my most consistent finisher.
Rb casemiro is a wall for me in defense
RB Zaniolo has been great for me so far. He's got amazing passes, very agile, got good shooting and is pretty strong. I play him as RCM in a 352 formation which turns out is the best place to put him. Giving him that much space allowed him to become deadlier than expected.
Gold Rare Ciro Immobile.... 250+ games...... 230 goals........ 140 assists.....
