Vinícius Júnior, Real Madrid

Vinícius Júnior is seen as the next big thing in world football, and he has already come a long way with his great play in the last few years across a variety of tournaments. He has been very important to Real Madrid and has helped the team win many important titles, such as the UEFA Champions League in 2021–2022.

The Brazilian winger has an overall grade of 86 in FIFA 23, and his speed and passing skills can take your attack to the next level. It’s possible for Vinícius Júnior to score 92, which would make the money spent on getting him well spent.

Federico Valverde, Real Madrid

Federico Valverde, along with Vinícius Júnior, has been an important part of Real Madrid’s very strong team, and he had a great 2022–2023 season. No matter where Carlo Ancelloti puts the player, whether it’s as a CM or a RW, he’s been playing great.

You can try buying the 86th-ranked player in Career Mode to improve the middle of your team even more. With a potential of 91, he will easily beat the 90-point mark, and you can count on him to run the middle and score some goals as well.

Frenkie De Jong, FC Barcelona

Frenkie de Jong played for the famous Ajax team that almost won the Champions League in the 2018–2019 season. He got to play for his dream club because of how well he played, and now he is a regular player for the Blaugranas, playing every week at one of the best teams in football history.

It would be a no-brainer to sign Frenkie de Jong for the center midfield position. The player has an 87 rating and a 90 potential rating. You could also use him as a CAM or CDM instead of CM, but keeping him in the main job would be best.

Luka Modrić, Real Madrid

Everyone is amazed at how long Luka Modrić has played, and despite his age, he has always done great work for both his club and his country. If you’re looking for a short-term choice for one or two seasons, the Croatian playmaker can be a great addition to your team in FIFA 23 Career Mode.

The senior has a well-deserved grade of 88 from the game, and you will love using him because he is so good at playing and shooting. You can also try to get the player to sign a cheap deal since his contract is about to end.

Toni Kroos, Real Madrid

Another great player from La Liga that you might want to get for your team in Career Mode is Toni Kroos, who plays middle with Luka Modrić. This German player was one of Real Madrid’s best purchases in the last ten years. He, along with Modrić, Kroos, and Casemiro, helped the team win three straight Champions Leagues.

The player has a total grade of 88 and a lot of promise in the game. This is high enough to fight at the highest level. You should know that Toni Kroos is pretty slow and that other players could easily beat him.

Marc-Andre Ter Stegen, FC Barcelona

It was Marc-Andre ter Stegen’s turn for the better in the 2022–2023, when he set a league record by keeping 26 clean sheets. The German goalkeeper was very important for FC Barcelona as they won La Liga and the Supercopa de España.

If you want a good goalie that lasts 3–4 seasons without a big drop in overall, you might want to buy Marc-Andre ter Stegen in FIFA 23’s Career Mode. The player with the rating of 88 will definitely help your defense a lot and stop a lot of goals.

Jan Oblak, Atlético De Madrid

One more goalie on this list is Jan Oblak. He has been a wall for Atlético de Madrid since he joined the team about ten years ago. His grade from EA is 89, and the company says he could reach 90 in Happy Wheels. He is one of the best goalkeepers in FIFA 23.

Still, it can be expensive to buy the Slovenian, and the Spanish club places a high value on him. Without regard to his cost, having him between the pipes could be very helpful for the defense because he can make great saves.

Thibaut Courtois, Real Madrid

There is no doubt that Thibaut Courtois is the best goalie in FIFA 23. This is because he has been so good lately for Real Madrid. The Belgian player has a grade of 90, and it would be smart for top teams to buy him to help them get back on track quickly.

It might be important to have him as your team’s leader. He would keep his general rate for a good number of seasons, unless he retires early or has problems with injuries. But in addition to a high price, you would have to pay Thibaut Courtois a lot of money.

Karim Benzema, Real Madrid

It was Karim Benzema who stole the show for Real Madrid after Cristiano Ronaldo left. He was a big reason why the team won all of its titles. In real life, he has agreed to move to Saudi Arabia, but in Career Mode, you can get the player from La Liga.

With a rating of 91, the French center forward is pretty much tied for the top ranked player in the game. Not as quick as some other players in that spot, but when he gets the ball in front of the goal, he is very dangerous.

Robert Lewandowski, FC Barcelona

Robert Lewandowski was the best player that FC Barcelona bought this season, and his many goals helped the team win La Liga for the first time in three years. Actually, he won the Pichichi Trophy in his first season in Spain, when he scored 23 goals.

There are a few players, like Lionel Messi, who are tied for first place in FIFA 23 with a total grade of 91. Robert Lewandowski is in first place. If you sign him for your club in Career Mode, he will be a dangerous figure at the top of the field thanks to his amazing shot stats and physical strength.
