Usually, most players need a few days to build up their clubs with random clubs. With Champions mode about to start soon, it’s advisable to target squads that offer full league-based chemistry. With so many official leagues available, there are plenty of choices. It’s always preferable to make a squad based on top European leagues, as they tend to receive the bulk of promo items later in the calendar.

Before diving deep, it’s best to remember a few points – these are starter teams. Hence, you’ll not see cards that are extinct/priced very high on the market. The objective of these squads is to provide you with a meta experience without breaking the bank. If you have better cards, make sure to replace cards from the starter teams as required.
