Cheapest 86-rated players in FIFA 23 (April 2023)

FIFA 23 Ultimate Team is replete with more choices than ever for gamers to enjoy when it comes to the player pool. There have been several promos and special events over the course of the game cycle so far, providing plenty of squad-building options in the world of FUT. However, with so much variety, plenty of high-rated footballers often fall by the wayside and are ignored despite their attributes.

High-rated players are often in demand in FIFA 23 due to their utility in SBCs. 86-rated cards are probably the most commonly used items for this reason. Not only are they classified as "walkouts" due to their rarity in packs, but they are also viable on the virtual pitch if they possess the right stats for their respective positions.
