Today I wanted to dive into building an 87-rated squad in Ultimate Team, and boy, was it a ride. I’ve been messing around with different team setups for a while now, and I thought, why not aim for an 87-rated squad? Sounds like a good challenge, right?
So, first things first, I started by looking at the players I already had in my club. I figured I needed to see what I was working with before I started spending those precious coins. I laid out all my top players and started to see which positions I needed to fill to get that sweet 87 rating.

Listing Available Players
- Checked my current roster for high-rated players.
- Identified key positions needing upgrades.
- Made a list of potential players to target.
Next, I hit the transfer market. This is where things got interesting. I spent a good chunk of time searching for 87-rated players that wouldn’t break the bank. I mean, who wants to go broke in Ultimate Team? Not me. I was hunting for bargains, looking at player stats, and trying to find the best bang for my buck.
I used the Squad Builder tool, which is a lifesaver, by the way. It really helped me visualize different combinations and see how each player affected the overall rating. I played around with different formations, swapped players in and out, and slowly but surely, I started to see my squad taking shape.
Building the Squad
- Searched the transfer market for affordable 87-rated players.
- Compared player stats and prices to find the best deals.
- Utilized the Squad Builder to test different combinations.
After a lot of trial and error, and maybe a few rage moments when I got outbid on a player I really wanted, I finally put together a squad that I was happy with. It wasn’t easy, and it definitely took some patience, but I managed to build an 87-rated squad that felt solid and competitive.
I even took the squad into a few games to see how they performed. Let me tell you, it was satisfying to see all that hard work pay off. The team played well together, and I even managed to win a few matches, which is always a nice bonus.
Testing the Squad
- Played several matches to test the squad’s performance.
- Adjusted the formation and tactics based on gameplay.
- Celebrated the wins and learned from the losses.
So yeah, that’s my story of building an 87-rated squad in Ultimate Team. It was a fun, albeit challenging, experience. If you’re thinking about doing the same, just be prepared to put in the time and effort. And remember, it’s all about the journey, not just the destination. Happy team building, folks!
