FIFA 21: Best FUT teams for 20k coins ft. Bundesliga, EPL, La Liga, and Serie A

FIFA Ultimate Team is all about building a dream team filled with the best players and icons in the world. But everyone has to start somewhere, and if the budget for your first squad is no more than 25,000 coins, you might need a little help in getting the best bang for your buck.

Here are some great squads you can build for under 25,000 Coins, courtesy of the FUTBIN community. 

Bundesliga Squad: Total Cost 19,150 Coins

Formation: 4-3-3(3)

Forwards:

Thorgan Hazard (OVR 83) LW - 2,800 Coins

Milot Rashica (OVR 79) ST - 2,800 Coins

Karim Bellarabi (OVR 82) RW - 3,300 Coins

Midfielders:

Leopold Kohr (OVR 75) CDM - 750 Coins

Mattheus Kunha (OVR 78) CM - 3,100 Coins

Thomas Delany (OVR 81) CDM - 1,700 Coins

Defenders:

Christian Günter (OVR 78) LB - 2,100 Coins

Jordan Torunarigha (OVR 75) CB - 850 Coins

Jérôme Boateng (OVR 82) CB - 2,300 Coins

Thomas Meunier (OVR 81) RB - 1,000 Coins

Goalkeeper:

Jiří Pavlenka (OVR 82) GK - 750 Coins

Summary

It’s not hard to build a quality Bundesliga squad on a small budget, and this squad is the perfect example. It might not be aesthetically pleasing to see five players with less than an 80 OVR included. But this squad is all about pace on a budget, while still having sufficient quality in other areas too.

The attacking trio is particularly devastating. Hazard and Bellarabi are lightning-fast on the wings. The former has 84 Pace and the latter has 90 Pace. Rashica has 88 Pace as well, which is incredible for a striker.

Premier League Squad: Total Cost 14,750 Coins

Formation: 4-3-3

Forwards:

Leandro Trossard (OVR 78) LW - 550 Coins

Michail Antonio (OVR 78) ST - 3,500 Coins

Takumi Minamino (OVR 77) RW - 1,000 Coins

Midfielders:

John Fleck (OVR 77) CM - 500 Coins

Lucas Torreira (OVR 81) CM - 4,200 Coins

John McGinn (OVR 76) CM - 550 Coins

Defenders:

Konstantinos Tsimikas (OVR 76) LB - 750 Coins

Mason Holgate (OVR 77) CB - 550 Coins

Çaglar Söyüncü (OVR 80) CB - 850 Coins

Ryan Fredericks (OVR 76) RB - 1,500 Coins

Goalkeeper:

Łukasz Fabiański (OVR 81) GK - 800 Coins

Summary:

EPL squads are notoriously more expensive due to the popularity of the league. However, it’s not impossible to build a good starter squad, and the fact this one can be built for as little as 14,750 Coins is proof of that. Again, the strength of this squad is the attack, and it all comes down to pace. 

La Liga Squad: Total Cost 18,600 Coins

Formation: 4-1-2-1-2(2)

Forwards:

Munir El Haddadi (OVR 79) ST - 750 Coins

Philippe Coutinho (OVR 83) CAM - 7,900 Coins

Alexander Isak (OVR 79) ST - 900 Coins

Midfielders:

Héctor Herrera (OVR 81) CM - 1,700 Coins

Mikel Merino Zazón (OVR 80) CDM - 1,000 Coins

Lucas Torreira (OVR 81) CM - 1,900 Coins

Defenders:

Pervis Estupiñán (OVR 79) LB - 900 Coins

Rúben Vezo (OVR 77) CB - 1,200 Coins

Aïssa Mandi (OVR 79) CB - 900 Coins

Oscar De Marcos Arana (OVR 78) RB - 700 Coins

Goalkeeper:

Sergio Asenjo (OVR 82) GK - 750 Coins

Summary: 

It’s a good idea to start with a La Liga FUT squad because there’s a lot of quality players that can be bought at a cheap price. This starter squad isn’t as pacey as the others, but it’s not too bad either. Most players have at least 80 Pace, which should be enough. The highlight, however, has to be Coutinho, who is a well-rounded CAM.

Serie A Squad: Total Cost 17,850 Coins

Formation: 4-4-2

Forwards:

Luis Muriel (OVR 79) ST - 1,700 Coins

Arkadiusz Milik (OVR 81) ST - 850 Coins

Midfielders:

Robin Gosens (OVR 82) LM - 1,300 Coins

Arturo Vidal (OVR 83) CM - 3,600 Coins

Arthur (OVR 84) CM - 3,900 Coins

Matteo Politano (OVR 81) RM - 1,000 Coins

Defenders:

Aleksandar Kolarov (OVR 82) LB - 1,500 Coins

Nicolas Nkoulou (OVR 80) CB - 1,600 Coins

Chris Smalling (OVR 79) CB - 1,600 Coins

Kévin Malcuit (OVR 78) RB - 900 Coins

Goalkeeper:

Gianluigi Buffon (OVR 82) GK - 750 Coins

Summary:

Serie A is another great choice for a first team. It’s even more affordable than Bundesliga and La Liga, but it also has a lot of quality. This starter squad has a decent amount of pace, but it also sacrifices some of it for brains and brawn. Milik, for example, only has 68 Pace, but his shooting is impeccable. Combined with Muriel, who has 88 Pace, the two of them can make for a lethal duo.
