After analysing the best English Premier League teams in FIFA 15, we now move on to the national league of the World Champions, Germany. Recently the Bundesliga is being looked at upon as an one team league due to the dominance of Bayern Munich, but which are the other good sides you can play with apart from the Bavarian giants? Here are the 6 best Bundesliga teams in FIFA 15.
#6 FC Schalke 04
Average rating: 71
Best players
Klaas-Jan Huntelaar (84)
Jefferson Farfan (83)
Benedikt Howedes (82)
For those of you who were expecting Schalke to be placed higher up on this list, you are in for a surprise. They might have finished 3rd in the league last season, but on the basis of the average ratings, they are ranked 6th on this list with a rating of 71. They edge out 1899 Hoffenheim for this spot. Apart from the presence of Klass-Jan Huntelaar, Jefferson Farfan, Benedikt Howedes and Kevin Prince Boateng, they also have a host of young stars coming through the ranks with whom you can go on to build a dynasty in the game.
#5 Borussia Monchengladbach
Average rating: 71
Best players
Raffael (80)
Yann Sommer (79)
Martin Stranzl (78)
Borussia Monchengladbach have an average rating of 71. The team consists of some exciting players who are ready to make the next big step and enter the Champions League. They finished 6th last season, but you can aim higher this time around.
Apart from the top players mentioned above, you will also have the likes of Christoph Kramer, Xhaka and more importantly, Eden Hazard’s younger brother Thorgan Hazard during your first season as he is on loan from Chelsea. You can sign this exciting player on a permanent deal and build the team around him for the future as well.
#4 Bayer Leverkusen
Average rating: 72
Best players
Bernd Leno (82)
Lars Bender (81)
Stefan Kiessling (81)
Bayer Leverkusen finished 4th on the table last season after losing one of their young star players Andre Schurrle to Chelsea in the summer. They lie 4th on our list as well with an average rating of 72. They have one of the best goalkeepers in FIFA 15 in the form of Bernd Leno, and striker Stefan Kiessling has been a consistent performer for them for over 8 seasons. A couple of smart signings from you as a manager in career mode can elevate them to the next level.
#3 VfL Wolfsburg
Average rating: 73
Best players
Luiz Gustavo (82)
Kevin De Bruyne (81)
Ricardo Rodriguez (80)
Wolfsburg marginally missed out on a top 4 spot last season in the league by finishing 5th, but they are at the 3rd position on our list ahead of the likes of Schalke and Leverkusen which you might not have expected (they did sign Nicklas Bendtner though in the summer). Brazilian central midfielder Luiz Gustavo and Belgian attacker Kevin De Bruyne are the team’s main architects. They also have one of the most sough after young left back in world football in the form of Ricardo Rodriguez.
#2 Borussia Dortmund
Average rating: 74
Best players
Marco Reus (86)
Mats Hummels (86)
Roman Weidenfeller (83)
Stop the exodus and hold on to Marco Reus and Mats Hummels (who is rated as one of the best CB’s in the game), then you will do fine with this team as time and time again, they are the only team who have looked to threaten Bayern at least a little bit. Shinji Kagawa is back and Ciro Immobile has been brought in to replace Lewandowski and you can add more in the coming seasons in the career mode.
#1 Bayern Munich
Average rating: 80
Best players
Arjen Robben (90)
Manuel Neuer (90)
Franck Ribery (88)
As everyone expected, Bayern Munich are on top! They are not just the best German team in the game, but are also FIFA 15’s best ever team. They are the only team to have two players with 90 plus ratings in their squads and their back up playing 11 is almost as good as their first choice eleven. Remember this, winning the league with this side is not going to be that tough for you as a manager, but anything less than the top spot and anything less than a semi final appearance would be considered a failure for you.
