Does France have the best international squad in FIFA 22?

It has been a week since the official release of FIFA 22, and players have been busy exploring the various aspects of the game. Although Ultimate Team usually attracts the maximum attention, the international teams are pretty interesting as well.

• Lucas Digne (LB) - 84
• Clément Lenglet (CB) - 82
• Steve Mandanda (GK) - 81
• Anthony Martial (ST/LM) - 81
• Aurélien Tchouaméni (CM/CDM) - 79
• Kurt Zouma (CB) - 81
• Moussa Diaby (LW/RM/LM) - 81
• Thomas Lemar (LM/CM/RM) - 83
• Jules Koundé (CB) - 83
• Mike Maignan (GK) - 84

Apart from having a star-studded offensive side, France also has an extremely capable midfield. The defense may feel a bit underwhelming in comparison, but good defensive sides are hard to find in FIFA 22.

In-game, FIFA 22 players have a good chance of winning when playing as France, but it's not guaranteed. All of the other international teams in the top five are more than capable of outperforming them.

In the end, it depends entirely on the skills of the player.
