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

1. Barclays PL

Without doubt the most diverse squad type with the greatest range of choices is that of our own Barclays PL. The more competitive nature of the league with many great teams battling to win the league result in a far broader range of players to choose between. Whether you€™re going for skilful pace and passing or brute aerial force on the end of world-class crosses, the hugely talented Premiership has you covered. When choosing which PL striker to use the question isn€™t which to buy but rather which not to buy. Many will feel spoilt for choice when looking for a man to play up top. If price isn€™t an issue you have to pick between the likes of Sergio Aguero, Robin van Persie, Luis Suárez and Wayne Rooney while more affordable options are Fernando Torres, Edin Džeko and Roberto Soldado to name but a few. This wealth of selection is typical of every single position needing to be filled in a Barclays PL squad. Criticism is sometimes levelled against Premiership builds for not having a €œgo to€ goalkeeper when compared to other FUT styles €“ Italians have Buffon, La Liga has Casillas and the Bundesliga has Neuer. However, Petr Œech is more than good enough to have as the last barrier of defence and he is available for a sub-10k price tag. The more advance FUT player may choose to upgrade to the 90-rated €˜Team of the Season€™ card, though this will cost in excess of 200k €“ better Œech your wallet! High-End: Eden Hazard €“ 300,000 Chelsea€™s big revelation in the past two seasons, Eden Hazard is not only one of the best players to watch in reality but he is also extremely fun to control in Ultimate Team. Hazard can practically do it all, reflected by his 86-attacker rating and 85-creator rating. Want to run at defenders? His 92-dribbling and 94-accelration make that an easy task. Want him to score the winner? 85-finishing and 87-long shot says he€™s the guy you want taking the final shot. Want to use him offload it to create a chance? 88-short passing and 85-long passing mean he won€™t hit it out for a throw. Bargain: Christian Benteke €“ 1000 It is typical of the Barclays PL that a beast of a player like Christian Benteke resides at a bottom-half club like Aston Villa. The Belgium native combines decent speed with ridiculous strength (93) to make him one of the best aerial threats in the game. With the wingers available in the PL, having Bentke as an arrowhead is scarily effective. His 90-finishing and 83-long shots mean he is no slouch with the ball at his feet either.
