As two of the highest-rated players in FIFA 23, it comes as no surprise that Messi and Mbappe will be the most coveted cards in this lineup. While the former possesses spectacular playmaking skills and will be desirable for his position change to center-forward, Mbappe's latest card cements him as the best attacker in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team.

The likes of Theo Hernandez and Phil Foden will be amazing in-game as well, with the former being a fan-favorite amongst pros and casual players alike. Diogo Dalot and Josko Gvardiol will also be effective defenders in the current meta of the game and should be relatively affordable in the transfer market as well.
