One of the key skills you need to have in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team is squad building, whether that is assembling your best team, completing SBCs, or making a competitive team within restrictions.
Squad Foundations objective players have now become available, where you will need to compete in the Live FUT Friendly: Football Foundations mode to complete the requirements.
We have made this Liga Portugal XI full of pace to help you unlock Squad Foundations Uribe, the 86 OVR CM - just make sure you have already completed the Eredivisie Squad Foundations first!

Pedro Porro (OVR 84)
We're going for three at the back, with Pedro Porro being used as a centre-back.

Goncalo Inacio (OVR 84)

Price:
- PlayStation – 900 coins
- Xbox – 850 coins
Gedson Fernandes (OVR 77)
There are a couple of workmen in the CM spots, the first being Gedson Fernandes.
He is a great all-rounder, and the better dribbler of the two, so look to use him to carry the ball forward.

- Xbox – 1,300 coins
Mateus Uribe (OVR 79)
The man we're doing these objectives to gain, Mateus Uribe is the second CM.

Simon Banza (OVR 88)
Simon Banza is an absolute beast and you should definitely look to complete his SBC.
88 PAC, 92 Finishing, 92 Jumping and 89 Strength, look to get him the ball at any opportunity and he will get it in the net.
If you haven't done the SBC or don't have the coins to do so, the next best option is 82 OVR Mehdi Taremi.
