FIFA 23: Ten Players you NEED to try

FIFA 23 is nearing the end, which means it's time to find your best black suit and tie and get ready to bid farewell to FIFA as we know it.

With EA Sports FC 24 replacing the game this year, we want to take one last look at FIFA 23 and recommend some top stars you should use before the game ends.

Unsurprisingly, there are some incredibly good cards available in FIFA 23 and some of them don't even come with a hefty price tag!

Check below to discover ten players, across Ultimate Team and Career Mode, that you need to try in FIFA 23.

FIFA 23 Players to Try

If you jump into Ultimate Team now, you'll be faced with an inordinate amount of flashy cards flooding across the market.

The same can be said for Career Mode, with every player in the game facing you with lustful eyes as they look to become your next big signing.

This article will cut through the noise and instead offer you ten players that you need to try in FIFA 23, starting with Ultimate Team.

Team of the Season Kylian Mbappe (97 OVR)

Let's start with arguably the best card in the game, Team of the Season Kylian Mbappe.

Not long added, this 97 OVR offering is an insane forward who terrifies and delights in equal measure, depending on whether you're facing him or utilising him.

Mbappe is the most expensive option in this section but everyone deserves a chance to try out the best, even if it will set you back around 7.5 Million coins.

World Cup Hero Al Owairan (88 OVR)

Many people will argue that pace is no longer king in Ultimate Team, but those people are liars.

Proof in the pudding is this World Cup Hero Al Owairan card, with his 99 pace being unplayable at times.

This card is also proof that quality doesn't cost a bomb these days in FIFA 23, with this special card currently available for around 150,000 coins. Bargain.

Team of the Season Harry Kane (95 OVR)

There was a time, following its initial release when TOTS Harry Kane was viewed as the very best player on the market in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team.

The Spurs forward boasted a mega card that seemed completely broken, so of course EA came along and ripped out the dummy with brute force.

Kane may not be as dominant as he once was, but the Spurs forward still shows plenty of quality and continually represents insane value, with England's number 9 only costing 140,000 coins.

Team of the Season Chris Smalling (94 OVR)

From one English Team of the Season to another, who would have thought that Chris Smalling would become the most dominant defender in the FIFA 23 end game?

A real game changer who makes Icons look weak, Smalling is an absolute beast in FIFA 23 and is worth every single one of his 80,000 coin price tag.

Team of the Season is where it's at, and this Chris Smalling offering proves that price doesn't always dictate quality.

Trophy Titans Ronaldo (97 OVR)

We mentioned with Mbappe that every player wants to try the best, and Trophy Titans Ronaldo is hands down the most lucrative and best-performing card on the FIFA 23 Ultimate Team market.

A staggeringly good striker, Ronaldo will cost around 7.5 Million coins, but he'll also become the prized asset of your Ultimate Team.

It's a steep ask to bag this guy, but be sure to note that you will have your hands on the premium offering in FIFA 23 if you decide to take the plunge.

Jamie Bynoe-Gittens (70 OVR - 87 POT)

Switching to Career Mode, we wanted to start with a wonderkid of real style and substance.

Borussia Dortmund youngster Jamie Bynoe-Gittens has the potential to be the very best winger in the game by the time he reaches his full potential, with the Englishman boasting an incredible range of stats.

Costing less than £5 Million at the start of the game, we'd recommend bagging this guy immediately and helping him grow into a world-beater.

Sofiane Boufal (76 OVR - 76 POT)

It may seem crazy to say, but Sofiane Boufal may just be the best value signing you can make at the start of FIFA 23 Career Mode.

The Morrocan forward is currently a free agent and can be snapped up for nothing once you've downloaded the latest squad update.

Stylish, skilful and fully scanned, need we say more about this differential choice?

Victor Osimhen (85 OVR - 88 POT)

A man that needs no introduction, Victor Osimhen is hands down one of the best strikers you can sign in FIFA 23 Career Mode, but you will have to pay a heavy price.

The Napoli star has shone bright in Italy this season, and as such his latest ratings boost has made him an expensive target.

If you've got the spare £75 Million, we'd highly recommend bringing in Osimhen and trying out this striking behemoth.

Sam Surridge (71 OVR - 77 POT)

It may seem crazy to say, but Sam Surridge is the best striker we've used in FIFA 23 Career Mode and the Englishman has been a prime example of how dynamic potential works best.

In fact, in our own save, Surridge has grown into England's best striker and is dominant with incredible strength and finishing attributes.

A real differential choice who can be picked up for less than £3 Million at the start of the game, we want to see if you have as much success with this man as we've had.

Xavi Simons (78 OVR - 88 POT)

Ending our list with one of FIFA 23's very best wonderkids just feels right, with PSV superstar Xavi Simons easily showing himself to be the guy in Eredivisie last year.

At only 19, Simons can grow to insane heights in FIFA 23 and become the best midfielder in the game, dwarfing fellow rising stars like Jude Bellingham.

Costing around £30 Million, Simons is worth every penny and we'd recommend showing no hesitation in adding him to your team.
