FIFA 15 : Best Bayern Munich team

Best Team in FIFA 15Bayern Munich is the Best team to play with in the new FIFA 15 game considering their squad depth which is amazing as they have world class players in every department. They have the best goalkeeper in Neuer, best midfielders in Xabi Alonso, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Javi Martinez, best attackers in the form of Robben, Ribery, Gotze, Mueller and the fearsome striker Lewandowski. This is the team every fan wants to play with. The bench strength they possess is impeccable. Last season, Bayern started with the 4-2-3-1 formation, changed to more tactically flexible 4-1-4-1 formation, this formation is so flexible that the players can change easily to 4-3-3 or 3-5-2 or a 3-2-2-3, but this season Guardiola has changed their formation to 3-4-3. Frankly, the old formation of 4-2-3-1 is the best till now for this team, and we have chosen players based on their ratings alone.

#1 Manuel Neuer (GK)

Nationality : Germany , FIFA 15 Rating : 90 , FIFA 15 Potential : 90

Ages 28, Manuel Neuer is rated the Best Goalkeeper in FIFA 15 and he is one among the elite group of players to have ratings of 90 and above. Neuer is your modern day Sweeper Keeper, who is praised for his unique playing style, reflexes and excellent shot-stopping abilities. He won the Golden Glove award in 2014 World Cup. Obviously the first choice goalkeeper for both Bayern and Germany, and at second choice we have Pepe Reina after he completed a move to Bayern from Liverpool. He is rated 81 and doesn’t give much competition for Neuer in this position.

#2 Philipp Lahm (RB)

Nationality : Germany , FIFA 15 Rating : 87, FIFA 15 Potential : 87

Philipp Lahm is considered to be the best full back of his generation. Nicknamed “Magic Dwarf” he is capable in playing both sides and also as a Defensive Midfielder, the position he played for Germany in this recent World Cup. We have picked him as right back here even though he is listed as a CDM in the game, to accomodate all star players in this line up. He is the Captain for this team, the position he has held for a long time. The back up player is Rafinha with a rating of 77.

#3 Javi Martnez (CB)

Nationality : Spain, FIFA 15 Rating : 85, FIFA 15 Potential : 86

The Spanish international usually plays in the defensive midfielder position, but Guardiola has changed him into a Centre Back in his new formation, and he has settled in quite well. Rated 85 in the game, he can play both as a Centre back and a defensive midfielder in this game. He manages to keep out Benatia who is rated 84.

#4 Jerome Boateng (CB)

Nationality : Germany , FIFA 15 Rating : 85, FIFA 15 Potential : 86

The German International is a versatile defender, who can play as centre back and full back on either sides. He is well known for his hard tackling and was a key member for Germany in the World Cup which they won this year. He is rated 85 in the game and is chosen ahead of Dante who is rated 82.

#5 David Alaba (LB)

Nationality : Austria, FIFA 15 Rating : 82, FIFA 15 Potential : 87

The young Austrian is rated 82 in the game and is the best left back in FIFA 15. He has put in some very impressive performances for Bayern Munich in regaining their title last season. He is versatile and can also play in central midfield, and also in either wings. Obviously he is the first choice in this position as the new signing Bernat is only rated at 71.

#6 Xabi Alonso (CDM)

Nationality : Spain, FIFA 15 Rating : 84, FIFA 15 Potential : 84

Xabi Alonso moved to Bayern Munich from Real Madrid in a two year deal. He settled in the line up very easily and in his fifth game created the Bundesliga record for most number of touches and most number of passes in a single game. Alonso had 206 touches of the ball, with 196 successful passes. Since Javi Martinez and Lahm are picked in defense, Xabi becomes the first choice defensive midifelder in this line up. Rode rated 77 is the backup for this position.

#7 Bastian Schweinsteiger (CM)

Nationality : Germany, FIFA 15 Rating : 88, FIFA 15 Potential : 88

The “Midifeld Mastermind” is the present Germany Captain after Philipp Lahm retired from International games. He is called as “the brain” of the Germany National team. He gets the nod as first choice central midfield player, and is irreplacable for both Germany and Bayern Munich. Thiago is rated way back at 81 and is the second choice for this position.

#8 Franck Ribery (LW)

Nationality : France, FIFA 15 Rating : 88, FIFA 15 Potential : 88

Franck Ribery is definitely the first choice for this position. He is fast, tricky and an excellent dribbler of the ball. Ribery, Robben, Muller and Lewandowski form a fearsome attacking lineup and is the nightmare for every defender. He is rated 88 in the game, Muller and Gotze are both verstile and can also play in this position.

#9 Arjen Robben (RW)

Nationality : Netherlands , FIFA 15 Rating : 90, FIFA 15 Potential : 90

Arjen Robben is among the group of elite players to be rated 90 or above in FIFA 15. He is versatile and can play in either wings. He is famous for his dribbling, pace, crossing ability and his accurate left foot long-range shots. He demolished Spain in the World Cup and was instrumental for Netherlands in reaching the Semi finals in the World Cup. At the age of 30, he is rated as the 12th fastest player in FIFA 15. The second choice for this position are Muller (86), Gotze (85), Shaqiri (80) and youngster Weiser (66) who are all rated well below than the Dutchman.

#10 Thomas Muller (CAM)

Nationality : Germany , FIFA 15 Rating : 86, FIFA 15 Potential : 88

The German International rated 86 in the game, and is duly chosen ahead of his compatriot Gotze who is closely rated at 85 in the game. He can also be descibred as an “Attacking all-rounder”. Muller can play as an attacking midfielder, second striker, centre forward and on either wings. After the World cup heroics, he labelled himself as “Raumdeuter” which means “interpreter of space” in German.

#11 Robert Lewandowski (ST)

Nationality : Poland , FIFA 15 Rating : 87, FIFA 15 Potential : 89

Robert Lewandowski joined Bayern Munich by signing a pre-contractual agreement from their rivals Borussia Dortmund. He is a clinical finisher of the ball and with a rating of 87 at the age of 26, he is only going to get better. He is your perfect striker in modern football and gets the nod as the first choice striker in the line up. Muller or Gotze can play as a back up center forward in case he is injured.

Can you find a better line up than this in the game?
