Okay, so I wanted to get that sweet, sweet 88-rated squad in FIFA 23, and let me tell you, it was a journey. I’m not the best FIFA player, but I’m stubborn, so I was determined to figure this out.
First, I scoured the transfer market. I was looking for players that were high-rated, but maybe not the most popular, you know? Those meta players are always overpriced. I spent hours just browsing, comparing stats, and trying to find some bargains.
My Strategy
- Look for Value: Forget the superstars at first. Find players with solid stats in key areas who aren’t crazy expensive.
- Chemistry is Key: This is huge. Even a slightly lower-rated player with good chemistry can boost your overall rating. Focus on players from the same league or nation.
- Position Modifiers: Don’t forget these! Changing a player’s position can sometimes give them a little rating bump and improve chemistry.
Then I started experimenting. I bought a few players that looked promising, slotted them into my squad, and checked the overall rating. It was a lot of trial and error. I’d swap players in and out, trying different formations, and constantly monitoring how it affected the team rating and chemistry.
It was frustrating at times, not gonna lie. I spent a good chunk of my in-game coins, and sometimes I felt like I was going backwards. There were moments I nearly gave up, but I kept pushing.
Finally, after what felt like forever, I cracked the code! I found a combination of players that not only hit the 88 rating but also had decent chemistry. It wasn’t perfect, but it was good enough.
I remember the feeling of relief and accomplishment when I finally saw that 88 rating pop up. It was like, “Yes! I did it!” It’s just a game, but it felt good to achieve that goal.
So, that’s my story of how I got an 88-rated squad. Not the most glamorous, but hey, it worked. And it taught me a lot about the game, and about the importance of persistence.
