RELATED: FIFA 23: The Best Teams To Use In Career Mode
The best teams in FIFA 23 reflect the best teams in real life, with minimal differences compared to FIFA 21 and FIFA 22 owing to it taking time for teams to change in terms of quality, for better or worse. FIFA 23 attempts to pair players up with opponents using a similar team to them in terms of stars and player quality, but here are the best options for players looking to kickstart their Online Seasons experience to success.
Best Four-Star Teams
Marseille
Marseille has long been one of the better French squads and, consequently, is one of the best four-star teams in FIFA 23. They have 79 Attack with 77 Midfield and Defense, making them pretty consistent throughout the squad but most effective in attacking. They certainly don’t have the best center backs in FIFA 23, so gamers should be careful when defending.
Marseille is well suited to players who like to involve the full starting 11 and feel confident with lower-rated players that have less dribbling ability.
Everton
Everton has been up-and-down in terms of club quality over the past few years. In FIFA 23, the Merseyside club is one of the highest-rated four-star teams, making them ideal for gamers who like to play without meta teams.
Everton is very capable in attack and has fairly technical players, making them well suited to attacking-based gamers who like to play a fast-paced game.
Ajax
Ajax has seen something of a clear-out of their squad in the previous transfer window, having sold most of their star players such as Gravenberch, Antony, and Mazraoui, to name a few.
That doesn’t mean the club is down-and-out, however, as Ajax is one of the best four-star teams on FIFA 23. Players can still expect to be mostly attacking with players such as Haller and Tadic.

Best Four-And-A-Half-Star Teams
Manchester United
Manchester United has, unfortunately, seen a decline in recent years, dropping to four-and-a-half stars just like they did in FIFA 21. The team has had some of FIFA 23’s biggest downgrades. However, while they were an irrelevant five-star team in FIFA 22, they are now a significant four-and-a-half in FIFA 23.
With an 82 Attack, 83 Midfield, and 81 Defense, players who like to control the game with possession-based gameplay may benefit from this squad the most. With Eriksen in midfield, players can get super brave with their over-the-top through balls.
Leverkusen
A bit of a surprise to a lot of FIFA gamers, but Leverkusen is seeing something of a resurgence. Moving up from a low four-star in FIFA 22 to a high four-and-a-half in FIFA 23, players will have fun using this much more improved squad. In fact, the club has had some of FIFA 23’s highest upgrades.
The squad has 83 Attack compared to 77 Defense, so players will certainly be better-suited to Leverkusen if they tend to be more on the attacking than defensive. Nevertheless, Leverkusen can still hold their own if on the back foot and defending.
Juventus
Juventus is finally back in FIFA with a license. but the club has dropped to four-and-a-half-stars. The sales of star players have left Juventus in a weaker position than the team was for FIFA 22, but they’re still a capable squad to use for gamers who don’t want to play five-star games.
With a high attack and midfield with a passable Defense, Juventus still have a bite in them with brilliant pacey wingers who can dribble past defenders and score.

Best Five-Star Teams
Bayern Munich
Bayern Munich has had a chokehold on the Bundesliga for over a decade now, and they are a truly formidable squad to face even on the European stage (Champions League). In FIFA 23, players may think that Bayern Munich is a shadow of its former self due to the loss of Lewandowski. On the contrary, Bayern has added the likes of Sadio Mane and Ryan Gravenberch, ensuring they are still one of the best Online Seasons teams in FIFA 23, and one that has some of the best wingers in EA’s sports game.
One of the most highly attacking teams in FIFA 23, Bayern’s quality is practically unmatched. Even players who are not the most experienced or skilled at FIFA will find themselves ranking up the division quickly with this squad.
Manchester City
Manchester City has long been one of the best teams on FIFA, to the annoyance of every non-City supporter out there. FIFA 23 is no different with City firmly being one of the best teams to use in Online Seasons. They have a few of the best center midfielders in FIFA 23, making them extremely strong in the middle of the pitch.
The teams’ defense, midfield, and attack are all solid with a decent goalkeeper in the form of Ederson that is sure to keep players who use City out of too much trouble.
PSG
PSG has been the best team in FIFA for a couple of years now, owing to them having Neymar, Mbappe, and Lionel Messi himself all on one team. The club has some of the highest-rated FIFA 23 players, so it’s no surprise PSG is one of the best squads in the game.
A narrow-formation team that plays very central with lots of one-touch passes in the build-up, PSG suits players who like to play with a quick tempo.
FIFA 23 is available on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S|X, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
