/r/FIFA: The Daily Squad Thread -- October 08, 2015

I want to share my squad with you guys since I know a lot of you are up in the air about who to use in terms of players and formations. Let me begin by saying I have used players that are reasonably priced and I have not been able to acquire Aguero, Hazard (except on loan), Alexis, Silva, etc. I have completed nearly 100 games of FUT and I have a feel for the players and their capabilities. So here are some things to maybe help you guys put together a squad. I'm sure you have read elsewhere and this is completely up to you in terms of the one you use, but hands down the best formation I have used and currently use is the 4-2-3-1(2). This formation allows the best attacking options for me while staying strong and getting back on defense. It also allows for a smooth midfield, and the passing is seamless for the most part. Now on to the players that I use: GK - Asmir Begovic - The guy is 6'6" for god sake. He seems to always be in the correct positioning and has never really let me down in terms of letting in easy goals, and he makes spectacular saves almost every game. That being said GK aren't a huge point of emphasis in this year's FIFA simply because the GK AI has been optimized, so most keepers are balanced. RB - Pablo Zabaleta - I haven't really experimented with many RB's so this is one of the positions I lack information. The only other RB I have used is Darmian and he just didn't seem up to par. Zabaleta is much stronger and tends to win the ball more often. CB's - Vincent Kompany & Gary Cahill - Hands down the two best BPL centre-halfs to me. Others I have used include Jagielka, Phil Jones, Chris Smalling, Otamendi, Rojo and Alderweireld. No one seems to have the power and knowledge that Kompany and Cahill possess. LB - Leighton Baines - This one is a no-brainer, Leighton Baines absolutely dominates the pitch. He is back when he needs to be, and is always in the perfect position when you go high up the pitch. He scores amazing goals outside the 18 and he is a great option as a left footed FK taker. Baines is an absolute monster in FIFA 16. CDM's - Ramires & Marouane Fellaini - Ramires is kind of a given, but I'm sure you're asking yourself Fellaini??? Yes, the Belgian is amazing this year. Don't let his sub-par rating and cheap price push you away, I promise he is worth every penny. He wins 99.9% of headers that come his way, defenders literally run into him and bounce off, and he always stays in the perfect position right outside the box so you can feed him the ball for a relatively easy goal. I am not lying about this one, he has just as many goals, if not more than my strikers. CAM - Christian Eriksen - Eriksen is a great attacking mid. His passes go pretty much exactly where you want them every time, and he always makes runs after completing his passes. He has a terrific shot and scores outside the box on many occasions. He has a 5-star weak foot so you can shoot from pretty much anywhere with him, not to mention he has a decent FK as well. Overall Eriksen is a well-rounded player and I plan on purchasing his IF when the prices goes down. LM - Memphis Depay - This was hard to choose Memphis because I have used Nasri as well, and he is amazing, the only thing he lacks is pace. I know pace is nerfed in this FIFA but it is still important on the wings, and Memphis delivers. I'm still salty that he was knocked down to 4* skills this year, but they still work great. He's quick and agile and evades defenders well. I take the ball in with my wingers a lot and Memphis is the better player for that. If you create and pass with your wingers, Nasri may be the better option. RM - Willian - The BPL really lacks quality RM's, I used Shaqiri before and don't get me wrong he is strong and fast but Willian is the next level up. He keeps possession well, and is able to get down the wing quickly. ST - Rondon, Remy, Martial - I switch strikers almost every match. The 3 I listed have been the ones who performed the best for me. Rondon is strong and he just knocks defenders away from him, he is also the only one listed with 4* skill & weak foot combination. Martial is pacey, and the only thing he lacks is the skill moves, he does well at getting into space and has a great first touch. Remy is obviously the fastest of the three and what he lacks in other areas he makes up for in height, he is the only striker who consistently won headers out of the three. I hope this guide helps you guys in deciding players to use in your squad. This is the first guide I have ever made so it's probably not the best you will see, but if I get some positive feedback I will make more for you guys in the future.
