5 Best Teams in FIFA 15 to play with

FIFA 15’s craze has taken over the virtual world

After looking at the best young players in the game for career mode, we now shift our focus on the 5 best teams in FIFA 15. It depends on the ratings of the players who make it to the first choice XI and also the ones that are present on the bench. Some of the teams like PSG, AS Monaco, Manchester City, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Chelsea etc will have lots of money for managers to spend with in career mode, but the below five are purely picked on the merit of the players present in the squads.

#5. Manchester City (England)

Best players

David Silva (87)

Vincent Kompany (86)

Yaya Toure (86)

The reigning Premier League Champions had to be here on this list. And they definitely have one of the best squads in Europe despite not being able to make a mark in the Champions League so far. But you can change that fact in the virtual world as you have the right players for it. Also you can probably tighten up their defence which is pretty shaky. Players like Silva, Kompany, Toure, Aguero are in the best phase of their careers, and when they start fading out, you always have the money to replace them easily.

#4. Chelsea (England)

Best players

Eden Hazard (88)

Thibaut Courtois (86)

Diego Costa (85)

Apart from the three players present above, they also have Petr Cech who is amongst the best goalkeepers in the game. Only Chelsea have the luxury of having two goalies who are both rated above 85. There is nothing much to seperate their squad with City in FIFA 15, but not even a single player has a rating below 80 in their first choice eleven. And most of their back up players are also rated above 80, and guess what you can actually ‘park the bus’ in the game and you won’t find a better team to succeed with that tactic than the Blues.

#3. Barcelona (Spain)

Best players

Lionel Messi (93)

Andres Iniesta (89)

Luis Suarez (89)

Without a doubt, Barcelona has the best attacking force in the game with Messi, Neymar and Suarez. They also have some of the best passers in the game, but their defence and goalkeepers push them down to number 3. Gerard Pique is their highest rated defender and in Puyol’s absence it is going to be a huge challenge for them. Messi retains his spot as the game’s highest rated player ahead of Ronaldo. But the focus is surely going to be on Luis Suarez who has completed his high profile transfer to Barcelona. But if recent reports are to be believed, fans won’t be able to use his services in FIFA 15 career mode until October because of the ban. But the moment he returns, you can carry on with your mission to pull the Catalan giants back to the summit.

#2. Real Madrid (Spain)

Best players

Cristiano Ronaldo (92)

Gareth Bale (87)

Sergio Ramos (87)

Defending European Champions Real Madrid pip Barcelona to the second spot marginally and they have Sergio Ramos, Iker Casillas and Marcelo to thank for that. Apart from them, they have Luka Modric, James Rodriguez, Toni Kroos and Karim Benzema with ratings of 85 and above. This is an all round complete team with only four players in that starting XI having a rating of below 85. And with Real Madrid, money has never been an issue, so buying and strengthening that squad is not going to be a tough task for the gamers.

#1. Bayern Munich (Germany)

Best players

Arjen Robben (90)

Manuel Neuer (90)

Bastian Schweinsteiger (88)

We all know how strong Bayern Munich really are, but with Germany winning the World Cup, they have been rewarded more by the game’s makers. And add to that the additions of Robert Lewandowski, Xabi Alonso and Mehdi Benatia, they probably have the most fearsome second choice XI in Europe. Apart from the three names that are present above, you have Ribery who is rated 88, Lahm and Lewandowski who are rated 87 and Thomas Mueller who is rated 86. Easily, the best squad in FIFA 15.
