SERIE A SQUAD
This page helps you to build your FIFA 21 Serie A squad.
UNLIMITED BUDGET SQUAD

Please, keep in mind that we are not saying that these are the best formations for this league. They are only generic formations used in all our squad guides.

The choice for this team’s players was based on the analysis made in the position guides. To understand why we picked player A instead of player B, please take a look at those guides.
Handanovic is one of the best goalies you can use in FIFA 21. It’s natural to see him on our unlimited budget squad.
In our opinion, De Ligt and Koulibaly are clearly the best centre-backs in this league. Unfortunately, and as you know from previous years, Serie A doesn’t have quality right-backs. The best one is Cuadrado. If you feel uncomfortable with his defending and physicality stats, you should try another formation or a player from another league. In the other side, things are much better. You should choose them basically on what is more important to you: pace (Theo) or defending skills (Alex Sandro).
Nainggolan, Sergej Milinković-Savić and Vidal are who play better as defensive midfielders. They are solid on the defence and an added-value on the attack. Hakimi and Douglas Costa are easy choices to the right and left side of the midfield.
In the attack, you can use different combinations of players. Our suggestion is to use the best players: a triangle with Gómez supporting Ronaldo and Dybala. However, it also works with Immobile next to Ronaldo and Dybala as CAM (Mertens is also a top-player).
Once all players have reached 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.

The choices for this more affordable team were based on the analysis made in the position guides. If you want to understand our choices, be sure to read those guides.
On the defence, Handanovic, Cuadrado and Theo Hernández, the best choices for their positions, are cheap enough to remain on our squad. Manolas and Škriniar are the two best CBs after Koulibaly and De Ligt.
For the centre of the midfield, we have chosen Nainggolan. After all these years, he is still a great player. He will be the first man to defend and the first one to attack. It’s incredible how it is possible to build a decent midfield with a low budget on this league. Just like the Belgian player, Sergej Milinković-Savić and Arthur have both good defensive skills but are also strong on the attack. Hakimi on the right and Insigne on the left try to assist Immobile, a striker that will score a lot of goals.
This squad was built with players which price was under 20k coins on the release date. However, if you still have some room in your budget, De Ligt and Alejandro Gómez would improve this squad a lot.

The choice for this team’s players was based on the analysis made in the position guides. To understand why were these the players selected, please read those guides.
Strakosha is our choice for the goal. It won’t be because of him that you will lose. Bruno Peres, Smalling, Romagnoli and Mojica complete the defence.
In the midfield, Vidal and Zielinski complement each other well. The first gives security to the backline, while the other usually pushes forward to assist his teammates. Hakimi on the right and Gosens on the left fill the wings in order to assist Rebic and Osimhen.
There is room for improvements but you will need to save some coins. This squad was built with players which price was under 2k coins on the release date. The exception was Vidal. For a few coins more you got a very important player. However, if you still have some room in your budget, Nainggolan and Manolas are players that would improve this squad a lot.

FIFA 21 SERIE A SQUAD SUGGESTIONS
For all those players who plan to build a FIFA 21 Serie A squad, we’ve conducted an extensive analysis on the best players and suggested squads for different budgets.
Guidelines
Building a team is the biggest challenge in FIFA 21 Ultimate Team. It doesn’t need to be the best team, since the budget may not allow it, but it needs to be a team designed for your style and needs.
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. For each position, and focusing on the truly important attributes, we’ll show you who are the best players to choose.
It’s also important to check if the player you choose fits the formations you like to play in. For example, a good full-back will be useless if the player only uses a formation with three defenders.
Last but not least, you should try to get the maximum chemistry possible. Most of the players base their squads on a single league or nation, but the most experienced ones are able to build hybrid teams without hurting chemistry.

Disclaimer Notes
This guide is based on our perception of the game, which may be different from yours. It should only be used as an orientation, since it’s impossible to build a team that fits everyone. Besides that, there are several factors we don’t know that influence the choices, such as budget, formation, custom tactics, instructions, style of play and player preferences.
Another important point that must stay very clear to whoever is reading this guide, it’s about some criteria we used:
Only Gold Players
Silver and bronze players are not taken into account in this guide. Most of them are not good enough to replace the gold ones.
Only Regular Players
IF and special items are not taken into account in this guide. Most of them can’t be considered good value for money and should only be used by players with a good budget.
Only Normal Players
Upgraded or transferred items are not taken into account in this guide. Only players who have started their season in the Serie A and with their original attributes were considered.

More Guides
Serie A is one of the most competitive leagues in the world, but football is not as spectacular as it is in the UK, Spain or Germany.
The qualification of the champion is made through the made points system. Whichever team gathers the most points, wins the league. The first three classified teams gain access to the champions league of the next year, while the fourth and fifth qualify for the Europa League and the last three trade places with the first three qualified from the Serie B. Every season starts in September and finishes in May, having 38 game weeks with ten matches each, being a total of 380 matches per season.
The Serie A is the fourth-best league classified in the UEFA league coefficient.
Started in 1898, the Italian league has been conquered by sixteen clubs. The dominant club is Juventus, with a total of 36 titles. AC Milan (18), Inter (18) and Genova (9) are the other teams that have won numerous titles.
