FIFA 20 Career Mode: 10 Teams You Must Play With

3. Olympique Lyonnais

It would be far, far, far too easy to just simply take charge of Paris Saint-Germain should you be looking to sample Ligue 1 on FIFA 20. With a bottomless pit of money and one of the greatest squads in world football, it’s no surprise to see PSG romping to trophy after trophy.

A side who offer up a much more enticing proposition in Ligue 1, though, is Olympique Lyonnais.

The rapid attacking options of Memphis Depay (84), Moussa Dembele (80), Bertrand Traore (78), and Maxwell Cornet (76) is enough to please those with a need for speed in their team. Across the rest of the side, Anthony Lopes (85) is a beast in goal, defenders Jason Denayer (79), Joachim Anderson (78), Leo Dubois (79), and Youssouf Kone (75) are steady with major room to grow, and then midfielder Houssem Aouar (81) has the potential to develop into one of the best players in the game.

Likewise, teenagers Maxence Caqueret (69) Amine Gouiri (68), Oumar Solet (66), and Reo Griffiths (62) are all capable of hitting 80+ ratings if developed properly.

As alluded to, it's always going to be a huge challenge to topple PSG at the top of Ligue 1, but Lyon have got all of the right tools to do just that.
