For all those players who plan to build a FIFA 19 Liga NOS squad, we’ve conducted an extensive analysis on the best players. Here is our guide to the top Portuguese league in FIFA 19 Ultimate Team.
Introduction to the FIFA 19 Liga NOS Squad Guide
Building a team is the biggest challenge in FIFA 19 Ultimate Team. It doesn’t need to be the best team, this is because the budget may not allow it, but it needs to be the player’s stature for him to obtain success.
When choosing which players to play with, you will have to look carefully at their attributes. Choosing a team based on ratings is one of the most common mistakes on FUT 19. It’s precisely this aspect that this guide focuses on. For each position, and focusing on the truly important attributes, we’ll show you who are the best athletes to choose.
It’s also important that the player checks to see if the player he chooses fits the formations he likes to play in. For example, a good full back will be useless if the player only uses a formation with three defenders. According to these formations, the player must be cautious and look at the work rate. Try to relate them with the ones we advise in our Formations Guide.
Last but not least, it’s mandatory that you tune all of your team so that the individual and team chemistry will be as high possible. For this last step to be easier, the majority of the players start to define the type of team they’re building. Some choose to gather players of the same nationality, while others decide to form a team of players from the same league. There are also more experienced players that can form hybrid teams without damaging team chemistry a lot.
All of these steps are necessary to have; or it could mean that the team is not always well built as it could be. This article aims to help those that want to form a FIFA 19 Liga NOS squad. Even the players that have a Liga NOS team, could take out some valuable conclusions from this guide that could help you make your team even better.
We received thousands of comments about similar guides that we have published in previous years. Most of them have asked us to help improve their teams and the players they had. It’s important that the readers understand that this guide is simply guidance. It’s a theme too vast and the player combinations are almost infinite. Besides, there are various factors that influence the choices, like one’s style of play, the formations and custom tactics used,the available budget, the preferences or even the time spent playing. There’s still one uncertain component: a good player for someone might not be for another. If there was a better team everyone would fight to get it. Part of the fun of FIFA 19 Ultimate Team is this: everyone has their personal club and players.
Another important point and that must stay very clear is that whoever is reading this guide, it’s about some criteria we chose and should be of everyone’s knowledge:
1 ONLY GOLD AND SILVER PLAYERS
In this guide we didn’t consider bronze players. Most players don’t assume them to be a better option than gold and silver players, so to simplify the guide’s analysis we didn’t include them.
2 ONLY REGULAR PLAYERS
In this guide we didn’t consider In Forms (IF). They’re extremely expensive and in most cases are not considered good value for money. They should only be used by players with generous budgets, that already have the best team possible and that want small upgrades.
3 ONLY NORMAL PLAYERS
In this guide we didn’t consider players that have been transferred to other clubs or that have been reviewed (UP). Only players that started their season in the Liga NOS and with their original attributes were considered.
4 ONLY ORIGINAL ATTRIBUTES
In this guide we didn’t consider changes made on a players performance such happens when applying training or chemistry styles cards.
5 FLUCTUATION OF PRICES

Liga NOS
FIFA 19 Liga NOS overview
Many top players played in the portuguese league but, for commercial reasons, it has less visibility than other leagues, like Ligue 1.
The qualification of the champion is made through the made points system. Whichever team gathers the most points wins the league. Every season starts in August and finishes in May, having 34 game weeks with nine matches each, being a total of 306 matches per season.
Started in 1938, the Primeira Liga has been conquered by only five clubs. The dominant club is SL Benfica, with a total of 36 titles. The other two teams that also have never been relegated, FC Porto and Sporting CP, won it by 46 times, while Belenenese and Boavista made it once each.
This league is a good choice for who is starting the game or has a very limited budget.

FIFA 19 Liga NOS Squad Suggestions
Ideas to help you building your FIFA 19 Liga NOS Squad
The team suggestions that follow should serve merely as orientation because it’s impossible to build a team that fits everyone. They depend on various factors we don’t know such as budget, formation, custom tactics, style of play and player preferences.
To try and explore the needs of the maximum player as possible we suggest three teams with different budgets and formations: 4-1-2-1-2 with unlimited budget and 4-4-2 with a low budget.

SUMMARY
Your goal will be in safe hands whether you choose Iker Casillas or Emiliano Viviano.
Mathieu is the reference in the defence, but Felipe is also a good centre-back. The right side of the back line is the biggest problem of this league. Not having better alternatives, it is Ristovski who assumes this position, although you can use a Portuguese, Brazilian or Argentinian RB, depending on how you build your team. The opposite happens on the left side. Alex Telles is one of the best left-backs of FIFA 19.
Danilo is the chosen to play as CDM, not only because he is brilliant helping the defence, but also because he is good enough to start the attack. On the wings, there are interesting players but Salvio and Brahimi are the best ones.
The front line is assigned to the two best forwards, Jonas and Bas Dost, supported in the back by Pizzi or Bruno Fernandes. If you think they are too slow, place Jonas as CAM and add Marega as ST,
Once all the players reach maximum individual chemistry via loyalty (achieved by each player after 10 matches for your club or by being pack pulled) you can go without a manager for your squad. They’ll be of no use while wasting contracts.

SUMMARY
Compared to the unlimited budget squad, we had to find replacements for more than half team. Casillas, Felipe, Alex Telles, Brahimi, Jonas and Bas Dost are too expensive for this team. Obviously, there was loss of quality but we also won speed on the defence, with Conti, and on the attack, with Aboubakar. Grimaldo and Danilo Pereira are slightly more expensive than it is supposed to a low budget squad but, since there are no quality alternatives to their positions, we suggest to make a small effort and keep them on your team.
If you have a few more coins, try to buy Pizzi, or eventually Bruno Fernandes, since they would be an important added value to the team.
