FIFA 23 has over 700 teams you can choose from in career mode, which leads to the problem, which one is right for your next save. It can be one of the toughest parts of the game, picking a team that you’ll find fun, but that will also be challenging enough for you to play multiple seasons. Today i’ll be sharing my guide on how i pick my teams, and hopefully by the end of the video, you’ll always be picking the best team for the save you want to do.
So firstly, what is the save you want to do? This is the thing that makes the biggest difference to which type of team you can pick. If you’re into rebuilding teams, you might need a team with a massive budget. If you like the road to glory side of career mode, you’re really limited to only Germany’s 3. Liga and England's League Two.
You can usually separate every team in every league into one of 4 categories:
Championship Contenders
These teams are Instantly fighting for the title in season 1
Best teams in the league usually full of the best players
This would be a team like Atletico Madrid or Liverpool.
Historic Teams
They might have been contenders 20 years ago
Usually have lots of fans & big stadiums but average players
Some good examples of teams in this tier are Nottingham Forest and Valencia
Middle of the road
3 or 4 signings away from being title winners
Might have a couple of top players, but usually not enough to compete
Teams like Crystal Palace and Bayer Leverkusen would fit in here.
Road to Glory
A longer save where you have to rebuild the entire squad
Usually newly promoted teams
A team like Bochum or Monza in Italy.
So, once you’ve decided the type of team you’d like to use, let's narrow it down even further. Not only does the team's league have an impact on how fun the career mode is, but so does the team's continent.
For example, if you play in Europe, you’ll be enjoying 3 Fully Licensed Continental Cup Competitions and have the most leagues to choose from. North America only has one league and has no continental cup competitions. This can make it a bit more boring for long term saves, but can still be very fun for shorter career modes.
South America is like a combination of Europe and North America. There arent too many leagues to choose from, in fact only Argentina is fully licensed and playable from South America. You do however get fully licensed cup competitions with real teams from all the other South American nations.
Finally Asia is surprisingly under rated for continental competitions. There is an unlicensed continental competition from season 2, and quite a few leagues including Indian, korean, saudi, australian and chinese leagues to chose from.
So by now we know where the club we want to play is, and we know what type of save we’re interested in playing. Now its time to look decide on the star ratings. Theres no point looking through the Premier League for your save if you’re more interested in bringing a 1 star team up to 5 stars, because all of the teams there will be way too good.
Star ratings roughly increase by half a star for each 2.5 points of overall. A team where every player is 80 rated will be 5 stars, where a team where every player is 75 overall will be 4 stars.
There are some really awful sides in strong leagues, so you dont have to tiny leagues to get the teams you want. The opposite is also true, leagues like Denmark have 4 star teams and 1 star teams playing at the same time.
Once you’ve decided this, have a look through the menus on career mode, compare the board expectations, budget, kits and stadiums and eventually you’ll find the exact right team. I’ve done this for basically every save i’ve started for the past 2 years and now my saves last a lot longer, and I enjoy them way more.
