Serie A may not have the biggest stars on the planet, but there are plenty of top talents who are solid to play with.
With that in mind, we have built a team that sets up as a 5-2-1-2, intended to be hard to break down and lethal on the counter-attack.
If you feel comfortable out of possession, waiting for your opportunity to pounce on a loose ball and launch a direct attack then this could be the team for you on FIFA 22 Ultimate Team.
Mike Maignan (OVR 84)
Mike Maignan is the third best keeper in Serie A and keeps the price down a bit compared to the 12k and 19k you would have to shell out for the other two.
Price:
- PlayStation – 3,400 coins
- Xbox – 4,000 coins
Juan Cuadrado (OVR 83)
At right wing-back, we have pace provided by Juan Cuadrado, who will be waiting to spring forward at the right moment.
He is a great all-rounder, with top dribbling, able to defend and attack with ease.
Price:
- PlayStation – 3,300 coins
- Xbox – 3,500 coins
Kalidou Koulibaly (OVR 86)
The first of our solid CB three is the mighty Kalidou Koulibaly.
With 87 Sprint Speed and 94 Strength, he will be tough to get around, and that's not even thinking about his 87 DEF stats.
Price:
- PlayStation – 11,750 coins
- Xbox – 12,000 coins
Matthijs de Ligt (OVR 85)
In the middle of the three is the towering presence of Matthijs de Ligt.
With 93 Jumping and 93 Strength, he shouldn't let any crosses reach their intended destination.
Price:
- PlayStation – 6,300 coins
- Xbox – 6,900 coins
Milan Skriniar (OVR 86)
With the best weak foot of the lot, Milan Skriniar sits on the left of the three.
As with the other two, he is robust with 86 Strength and doesn't lack in speed with 80 PAC.
Price:
- PlayStation – 11,750 coins
- Xbox – 12,000 coins
Leonardo Spinazzola (OVR 83)
Theo Hernandez would be our first choice, but at 30k+, he is a bit out of the price range.
Instead, Leonardo Spinazzola will be the legs on the left, just remember he is right-footed.
Price:
- PlayStation – 1,500 coins
- Xbox – 1,300 coins
Franck Kessie (OVR 84)
We have two mobile midfielders to shield the defence, the first of which is Ivorian powerhouse Franck Kessie.
Solid defensively and comfortable on the ball, Kessie can take the ball and carry it out of danger if needed.
Price:
- PlayStation – 3,600 coins
- Xbox – 4,000 coins
Sandro Tonali (OVR 81)
Partnering Kessie is Sandro Tonali's Team of the Week 3 card.
This could be switched with Nicolo Barella's 84 OVR base card, but Tonali offers better pace, passing, defending and physicality.
Price:
- PlayStation – 11,500 coins
- Xbox – 12,000 coins
Paulo Dybala (OVR 87)
Paulo Dybala will be a key figure in the squad, using close control and agile movement to turn defenders and spring attacks.
He has top passing and shooting, so will be a threat in and around the box.
Price:
- PlayStation – 17,000 coins
- Xbox – 18,250 coins
Luis Muriel (OVR 82)
We initially had Lautaro Martinez as the pacey strike partner, but when you compare stats Luis Muriel is very similar and has more pace, with 90 Sprint Speed.
In base ratings, he also outdoes Martinez in shooting, passing and dribbling, yet is nearly 10 times cheaper!
Price:
- PlayStation – 750 coins
- Xbox – 800 coins
Marko Arnautovic (OVR 86)
The big man up top, Marko Arnautovic's Rulebreakers card is a monster.
At 6'4" with 90 Strength he can offer himself as a target man for long balls, but he isn't slow or cumbersome, with 85 PAC, 85 Agility and 90 Balance.
He can string the play together with decent passing, and finish off attacks with 87 SHO and 88 Heading Accuracy.
Price:
- PlayStation – 24,750 coins
- Xbox – 27,250 coins
100k Serie A Team
This is how the full squad will look:
Price:
- PlayStation – 95,600 coins
- Xbox – 102,000 coins
