Serie A XI
Goalkeeper
Gianluigi Buffon – 88
In goal is none other than the veteran star – Gianluigi Buffon. Buffon was given a massive downgrade in FIFA 16 to 84 but he has deservedly got an upgrade this time around.
Defenders
Dani Alves – 85
Dani Alves has been one of the most consistent full-backs in recent years and was instrumental in the success Barcelona had while he was there. He has given a rating upgrade of +1 in FIFA 17.
Leonardo Bonucci – 87
The Italians always have some amazing central defenders and Leonardo Bonucci of Juventus could soon walk into the long list of legends. He has been one of the first names on the team sheet for both club and country and has received a rating boost of +3
Miranda – 86
In a team dominated by Juventus players, Miranda is one of the few exceptions. The Brazilian made a name for himself at Atletico Madrid and continues to do so at Inter. He has been given a rating upgrade of +2.
Georgio Chiellini – 88
Chiellini is the highest rated defender and player in Serie A, but he is tied on rating with Buffon and Higuain. The experienced centre-back has got a rating he deserves.
Alex Sandro – 84

Midfielders
Claudio Marchisio – 86
The Prince of Juventus is now the main man in midfield after the departures of Pirlo, Vidal and Pogba one after the other. Marchisio is a terrific midfielder and has been given a rating he deserves.
Miralem Pjanic – 85

Forwards
Gonzalo Higuain – 88
