    These rankings in FIFA 23 are dynamic, influenced by in-game performances, updates, and the overall balance of each team. The ratings provide a snapshot of the teams' strengths within the game, offering players diverse choices and challenges when competing virtually.
    Yet, you're not confined to the pre-built teams. To assemble the absolute best team in FIFA 23, you must select each player individually.

    Build your best team in FIFA 23

    This is our best XI in FIFA 23:

    • GK: Thibaut Courtois (90)
    • CB: Virgil van Dijk (90)
    • CB: Marquinhos (88)
    • CB: Joshua Kimmich (89) - Kimmich is primarily a CDM, yet he's versatile enough to perform as a CB. We use him in the CB position to optimize our overall team rating. Personally, having Kimmich means you can utilize him in various positions across the field. If you do not believe me, you can ask Guardiola about it!
    • CDM: Casemiro (89)
    • CDM: N'Golo Kante (89)
    • CM: Kevin De Bruyne (91)
    • LW: Kylian Mbappe (91)
    • RW: Mohamed Salah (90)
    • CF: Lionel Messi (91) 
    • ST: Karim Benzema (91)

    Right now, we can assume our squad sits at an 89 overall rating — about three points higher than PSG. To make the most of this strong team in FIFA 23, focus on sharpening your attacking play and dominating ball possession.
