EA FC 26 is a refreshing installment in the series, as it offers fluid and responsive gameplay that accommodates all styles and preferences. Fans can opt for small and agile strikers for tiki-taka attacking, or tall and strong attackers for crossing plays. This article features a squad that will be capable of adapting to any style while still being overpowered due to the individual brilliance of the players.

This team will be built in the 4411 formation, which has one of the most balanced and versatile setups in the game so far. It includes fast wingers, a strong attacker, creative midfielders and an effective backline. These are all the players along with their current prices in the transfer market:

• ST: Marcus Thuram (16,000 coins)
• CAM: Xavi Simons (5,500 coins)
• LM: Mattia Zaccagni (2,000 coins)
• RM: Pedro Neto (4,000 coins)
• LCM: Adrien Rabiot (900 coins)
• RCM: Hakan Calhanoglu (5,200 coins)
• LB: Ait-Nouri (800 coins)
• RB: Denzel Dumfries (4,500 coins)
• LCB: Josko Gvardiol (8,200 coins)
• RCB: Jurrien Timber (900 coins)
• GK: Guglielmo Vicario (2,900 coins)

The overall expected cost of this squad comes just under 50,000 coins. Using a Portuguese manager will put this team on full chemistry.

The most important positions in this formation are the striker, CAM and centre-backs. With Inter's Marcus Thuram dominating defenders with his pace and physicality, Xavi Simons creating plays using his excellent dribbling and passing, and Manchester City's Josko Gvardiol shutting down the opponent's attacks, this is an extremely well balanced squad in EA FC 26.
