The Ultimate Team cycle is well underway in FIFA 22, so you probably have a few more coins to spend on assembling your team.
Don't worry, this isn't some big-budget side, but rather one you can build on a very reasonable 50k bank.
We've opted for a 4-3-3 formation, as this is one of the strongest on FIFA 22, offering a balance of control in the centre with some added width, and a solid defence to let your attacking players do the work.
*Player prices taken from Tuesday, 21 December.
Emiliano Martinez (OVR 84)
In goal we have gone for Aston Villa's Emiliano Martinez, a top-class keeper, only beaten on rating in the Premier League by a handful of keepers.
Price:
- PlayStation – 3,000 coins
- Xbox – 3,500 coins
Javier Manquillo (OVR 86)
Hurry up and unlock Newcastle right-back Javier Manquillo as an excellent option at right-back for your FUT side! If you miss out, Ricardo Pereira is the next best option.
Price:
- PlayStation – 0 coins (milestones)
- Xbox – 0 coins (milestones)
Joe Gomez (OVR 82)
Although we have a more balanced game this year where pace isn't everything, it's still nice to have, and have it Joe Gomez does. 85 Sprint Speed and 83 Strength will make him very hard to get past, as his defending attributes are also pretty good.
Price:
- PlayStation – 2,700 coins
- Xbox – 4,000 coins
Antonio Rudiger (OVR 83)
Much like the man we've partnered him with, Antonio Rudiger offers 84 Sprint Speed and 88 Strength, meaning you won't want to get caught between him and Gomez. We haven't just thought about pace and strength with this pairing though, as he also offers 84 DEF stats.
Price:
- PlayStation – 1,500 coins
- Xbox – 2,000 coins
Alex Telles (OVR 82)
Finishing off our backline is Alex Telles. Strong on the ball and quick off it, Telles is the best LB option in the league for less than 5k coins.
Price:
- PlayStation – 900 coins
- Xbox – 1,100 coins
Phil Foden (OVR 84)
Phil Foden gives some legs in midfield with his 84 PAC, forcing the play forward thanks to his 87 DRI. Not just a ball carrier, he will make key passes to unlock the opposition and will hurry around in defence to try and win the ball back.
Price:
- PlayStation – 3,300 coins
- Xbox – 3,700 coins
Thomas Partey (OVR 83)
Anchoring the midfield is Arsenal star Thomas Partey who boasts great physical attributes and defensive skills to help break up the play and get you back on the attack.
Price:
- PlayStation – 950 coins
- Xbox - 1,200 coins
Kai Havertz (OVR 84)
Finishing off the midfield three is another attack-minded player in Kai Havertz. He also has some pace about him, and with more of a physical presence can get into the box for crosses with his 78 Heading Accuracy.
Price:
- PlayStation – 3,300 coins
- Xbox – 3,700 coins
Raphinha (OVR 82)
Leeds winger Raphinha offers great pace down the left side and will be a serious threat on the counter-attack as part of an electric front three.
Price:
- PlayStation – 1,400 coins
- Xbox – 1,400 coins
Romelu Lukaku (OVR 88)
The main man of the team, Romelu Lukaku is the target you will be trying to hit when you've got the ball out wide. Pacey and strong, with good passing to keep the play moving, he is a threat in and around the box.
The biggest chunk of the budget is spent on him, so make sure you play to his strengths.
Price:
- PlayStation – 26,250 coins
- Xbox – 25,250 coins
Marcus Rashford (OVR 85)
On the opposite wing, we have pace and skill from Marcus Rashford. Again, he has attributes designed to get past players and provide for Lukaku, and with 5-star skill moves, he can toy with the opposition.
Price:
- PlayStation – 7,700 coins
- Xbox – 9,000 coins
50k Premier League Starter Team
This is how the full squad will look:
Price:
- PlayStation – 51,100 coins
