FIFA 22 LaLiga: Ryan Pessoa’s guide for the best FUT Starter Team

Messi may no longer play in Spain, but FIFA Pro Ryan still finds plenty of talent in the Spanish league.

The main topic of the summer in Spain was Messi’s departure from Barcelona to PSG. But even without a figurehead, you can find a bunch of quality players in LaLiga.

“Jules Koundé had very strong special cards in past FUT cycles….”

“The 22 year old Jules Koundé had very strong special cards in past FUT cycles,” Ryan Pessoa tells us. “A solid defender whose French links will be very useful for Ligue 1 hybrids. Especially the link to Sevilla defender Diego Carlos makes for a strong defense in the early stages of FUT 22.

In midfield, the Spanish league is bursting with talent. It will be a little harder to sign a fast striker. But with the oversupply in the middle, a suitable (hybrid) occupation should be found for each position. What do you say about Rodrigo and Iñaki Williams? Like in the old good times of FIFA 20…

LaLiga offers something for every taste.

Ángel Correa (83, ST) – Atletico Madrid, Argentina

While not the fastest and not exactly cheap with a base rating of 83, Correa offers excellent shooting and dribbling stats in return. A valuable player to have near the penalty area at all times.

Benjamin Lecomte (79, TH) – Atletico Madrid, France

The choice of suitable goalkeepers is quite large at the start of FUT 22, but Lecomte’s French roots make him the perfect pivot for hybrids.

Diego Carlos (82, IV) – Sevilla, Brazil

Carlos and Koundé make for an expensive pairing, but it gives you a solid base for hybrid options and a defense you won’t have to worry about for a long time.

João Felix (83, MS) – Atletico Madrid, Portugal

Atletico Madrid’s expensive new signing has yet to reach his zenith in LaLiga, but he’s still young and more than adequate for the early FIFA cycle – 5 stars on the weak foot and strong dribbling make him red-hot on the ball.

Jules Koundé (83, IV) – Sevilla, France

Actually, we had expected Koundé in the Premier League, but Chelsea did not manage to reach an agreement with Sevilla. Good news for us, because every league deserves a fast central defender like Koundé.

Héctor Herrera (81, ZM) – Atletico Madrid, Mexico

Players who can cover the entire midfield are very common in LaLiga. If you want to save some coins here, take Herrera. Not fast, but very strong positional play.

Iñaki Williams (81, ST) – Athletic Bilbao, Spain

Everyone wants to sign Williams at the start of every recent FUT reboot, with the consequence that his price is usually in higher spheres. That’s why you should note that his price drops significantly after the first round of FUT Champions. That’s when you should strike if you want to save precious coins. If you have enough change, get him right at the beginning.

Mario Hermoso (82, IV) – Atletico Madrid, Spain

Almost no one will be able to afford Real Madrid’s Éder Militão at the start. However, his city rival Mario Hermoso should not be underestimated – quick and with excellent defensive stats, he will shore up any defense.

Renan Lodi (81, LV) – Atletico Madrid, Brazil

Going all in on Ferland Mendy in this position would be wasted money. Take Lodi – he won’t perform the same, but he will leave you with a few more coins for the critical spots.

Rodrigo De Paul (82, ZM) – Atletico Madrid, Argentina

After his incredible – Season at Udinese, the Argentine has found his feet just as quickly at Atletico Madrid. With Herrero alongside him in central midfield, his modest defensive stats hardly stand out and you can rely on his many strengths without worry.

Rodrygo (79, RF) – Real Madrid, Brazil

Real Madrid’s Rodrygo is an investment in the future.

Rodrygo and Vinicius, on opposite flanks, will hardly be affordable at the beginning. However, if you’re going for fast wing play, you should invest here. You should make up for the coins spent with better results.

Vinicius Junior (80, LF) – Real Madrid, Brazil

As I said, Vinicius doesn’t come cheap, but the chances of scoring goals increase immensely with him. Playing against a trio of Vini, Rodrygo and someone like Iñaki Williams will be extremely difficult for players who haven’t spent 50k+ on defense.

Yannick Carrasco (84, LM) – Atletico Madrid, Belgium.

Also not a cheap option, but with long-term potential, is the signing of Atletico Madrid’s Carrasco. In addition, there are few alternatives at this position. He also likes to be rewarded with special cards, which will make his base card even more valuable in the near future.
