FIFA 14 Ultimate Team: 7 Best Squad Styles You Need To Know

4. Serie A

There€™s no escaping the fact that Italian football has been taken down a peg in the last few seasons, but it is still an easy task to build a strong Italian team. The fact that Serie A€™s reputation has taken a few knocks has had a positive effect for those wanting to build an Italian squad as even the greatest players are available at an affordable price-tag. The real strength of an Italian squad lies in its midfield. A base of the greats from Juventus like Vidal, Marchisio and Pirlo can be supplemented with the pace of El Shaarawy and Cuadrado at LM and RM. Having speed like this on the end of world-class passing can be devastating. Those who favour an Italian build will have been grinning from ear-to-ear when Juventus signed Tevez. Fielding Tevez alongside fellow former City player Balotelli gives a Serie A team an extremely potent offence as both players combine decent speed with exceptional finishing abilities. High-End: Andrea Pirlo €“ 14,000 Reportedly a huge fan of FIFA himself, the developers rewarded Pirlo with an extremely potent FUT rating. It may be a shock to learn that this is about as expensive as non-inform cards get in Serie A €“ we weren€™t kidding when we said you could build an Italian squad on a budget! The beard€™s 94-long passing and 92-short passing mean he has the ability to control the entire game with his clinical ability to supply the ball. Bargain: Gonzalo Higuain €“ 800 Since shipping out to Napoli the Argentine has caused a stir in Serie A with his ability to finish so effectively and at less than 1,000-gold he can really bring a lot to a team on a shoe-string budget. 90-finishing combined with a 4-star weak foot make Higuain an extremely versatile tool to use in front of goal. His pace is also respectable making him more of a viable option than the similarly priced Fernando Llorente.
