FIFA 15 Ultimate Team: Tips on building the best team and finding the best players, page 1

FIFA 15 Ultimate Team, for the iOS and Android platforms, centers around the most popular portion of FIFA’s gameplay. For those who don’t know, rather than use an existing team, you start your own team and build it up using the best players that you can find. This guide will give you tips on maximizing score, chemistry and position matches as well as ratings, all for the best price possible.

As a beginner you generally want to try to load up your team with the highest rated cards possible. Your overall team rating will change based on your overall statistics. Since you’ll load up on gold cards right from the beginning of the game, start off by making your team all-gold, then start fine tuning from there.

Once that is done start tuning your team for chemistry. The way to maximize chemistry is to get players from the same team together, playing next to each other. The same league and the same nationality also work for chemistry, but putting teammates together will work best for overall chemistry.

Then, start looking for weak points in your game and search for players who will represent a boost in specific statistics. If speed is an issue, go for a high PAC. A high SHO will make for great shooting on goal, while a high PAS will increase passing and receiving effectiveness. A high DEF increases defense, a high DRI refers to dribbling skill (faster changes of direction + easier time keeping the ball), and PHY refers to physical toughness.

For a goalie, there are different stats. Diving, handling, kicking, reflexes, speed and positioning are your reference points. Arguably, diving, positioning and reflexes are the most important, here. Kicking is stupidly unimportant for a goalie, for the most part – find a goalie who specializes in the important stuff.

Fine tune your team even further by optimizing the stats per position. Strikers, for example, should have a high shooting rating, while defenders should have (obviously) a high defense rating. Center players should have a good mix of the two, but their speed, dribbling and physical toughness is the most important due to how often they’ll be running around.
