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

3. La Liga

Clearly the dream of building a team to someday contain the world€™s two greatest players Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi make a Spanish league build an extremely popular choice for many FUT players. With the ridiculously talented players over in Spain it€™s not difficult to understand why this style squad is so popular. Based around the tika-taka style of play, all good Spanish teams require a strong midfield to dominate the ball and there is no shortage of players to occupy these positons. The likes of Xavi, Iniesta, Isco, Fabregas, Modric, Busquets and Xabi Alonso all have an exceptionally rich passing-game which forms the foundation of a strong La Liga team. One of the issues with a La Liga team is the relatively slim choice of strikers. Outside of Ronaldo and Messi there are really very few strikers who intermediate and beginner FUT players can chose between. The best options are either Benzema or Diego Costa or both. Both men are extremely handy in front of goal and while it is certainly not a disadvantage having to field them in your squad it would be nice to have a greater range of choice. High-End: Cristiano Ronaldo €“ 1,500,000+ Perhaps a controversial decision to recommend over the beast from Barca but many believe Cristiano Ronaldo is the easier to use. His significant strength superiority over Messi means he won€™t shrink away from an opposing defence like the Argentine is sometimes prone to do. Combine these muscles with Ronaldo€™s top speed of 94 and you have the greatest pure athlete in the game, who just so happens to have 92-finishing, 93-long shots and 5-star skill moves €“ good luck getting your paws on him though. Bargain: Luka Modric €“ 5,000 With players like Xavi and Iniesta regularly selling for over 20-times this price, Modric is a very useful player to add to a squad which cannot afford to fork out these hefty sums. The Croatian possesses all the right skills needed for a successful offence-minded midfielder with his excellent passing abilities (Vision €“ 91, Short Passing €“ 90, Long Passing €“ 88) and his ability to score from distance when no pass is available (Long Shot €“ 84, 4-star Weak Foot).
