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.
Keylor Navas, the Ligue 1 goalkeeper with best reflexes, diving and positioning stats, is the natural choice for a squad with an unlimited budget.
In our opinion, Marquinhos and Kimpembe are the best centre-backs of this league. The first one has amazing defensive skills and is also good with the ball on his feet. The french defender is slightly faster and much stronger. Atal and Bernat are the right choices for fullbacks.
Di María and Neymar are the obvious choices for the wings but in the centre, things are more complicated. Verratti is the best centre midfielder but, since we are using a formation with one CDM, you may feel more comfortable playing with Gueye. We also believe that Depay, a native CF, is the right man to the CAM position, leaving the most advanced spots for Mbappe and Ben Yedder.
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.
Compared to the unlimited budget squad, we only had to replace the three most expensive players: Neymar, Mbappé and Yedder. Together they cost around 97% of the team.
The five players of the defence we used on the unlimited budget squad are cheap enough to repeat their presence on the medium budget squad.
On the midfield, Gueye gives security to the back line, while Verratti and Renato Sanches are responsible to create goal chances. Di María and Bamba, the weakest player of this team, play on the wings from where they try to assist Depay.

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.
Anthony Lopes is our choice for the goal. He is one of the most solid players of this team. Atal, Denayer, Diallo and Bernat complete the defence.
On the midfield, Danilo and Renato Sanches complement each other well. You can introduce Draxler if you see that you need more attacking power. Bamba on the left and Gelson on the right fill the wings in order to assist Moussa Dembélé and Volland.
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. However, if you still have some room in your budget, Kimpembe and Gueye are players that would improve this squad a lot.

FIFA 21 LIGUE 1 SQUAD SUGGESTIONS
For all those players who plan to build a FIFA 21 Ligue 1 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 Ligue 1 and with their original attributes were considered.

More Guides
Ligue 1 is the fifth-best league classified in the UEFA league coefficient. It became more popular in the last years because of the high investments made by Paris Saint-Germain .
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 38 game weeks with ten matches each, being a total of 380 matches per season.
Started in 1932, the French league has been conquered by nineteen clubs. Saint-Étienne won it by ten times. The last one was in 1981. Marselha (9), Paris Saint-Germain (9), Monaco (8), Nantes (8), and Lyon (7) are the other big names of this competition.
