Okay, so, I got really into this game, right? And like everyone else, I was trying to figure out the best way to build my team without going broke. I mean, who wants to spend all their coins on just a few players? Not me! So, I started looking into the cheapest players by rating. I thought, “There’s gotta be a way to get good players without spending a fortune.”
First, I started by just looking at the overall ratings. You know, the usual stuff. I made a list of players with, say, an 85 rating and then compared their prices. Pretty straightforward, yeah? But then I realized that just looking at overall ratings wasn’t enough. Some positions are just more expensive than others, even if the players have the same rating.

So, I dug deeper. I started breaking it down by position. I looked at goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders, and forwards separately. I made separate lists for each position, again sorting by rating and then comparing prices. It was a bit tedious, but hey, gotta do what you gotta do to save those coins.
After that, I took things a step further. I didn’t just want the cheapest for each rating, but I also wanted to find some hidden gems. Players that were underrated, you know? So I started looking at their in-game stats. Like, maybe a defender has a lower overall rating but amazing tackling or speed. That kind of thing.
Here’s what I did: I compared these in-game stats with their prices and ratings. I made notes of players who seemed like a bargain. For example, I found a few full-backs who were super cheap but had great pace and crossing. They were rated lower overall, but those specific stats made them perfect for my playstyle.
- Check overall ratings and prices.
- Separate lists by position (GK, DEF, MID, FWD).
- Compare prices within each position and rating group.
- Dive into in-game stats for hidden gems.
- Note down bargain players with good specific stats.
The Result
Man, it took some time, but it was worth it! I managed to build a really solid team without spending too much. I had a mix of high-rated players who were cheap for their rating and some lower-rated players who were beasts in specific areas. It felt great to outsmart the market a bit, you know? And my team was actually performing really well! I started winning more matches, and it felt so satisfying knowing I did it on a budget.
