Especially at the start of the season in EA FC 25 Ultimate Team, it is not easy to put together a strong team. Especially if you forego real money investments and only build your team with the coins generated through game success – which we definitely recommend! We are introducing you to a starter team from the Bundesliga that costs less than 200,000 coins but is still competitive and can lead you to many victories. There are some stars from RB Leipzig and already information cards from players who were particularly impressive in the first weeks of the new season. Don’t have 200,000 coins yet? No problem – then put this team together step by step.

Briefly explained: The chemistry system in EA FC 25
Before we introduce you to the team, we will briefly explain the chemistry system, which has already changed in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team. Unlike before, you can now only get a team chemistry of 33 instead of 100 chemistry points. Team chemistry is made up of each individual player’s chemistry, ranging from 0 to 3. If every player has a chemistry of 3, you start the game with the optimal team chemistry of 33. A player’s chemistry depends on his teammates. There are three criteria: nationality, league and club. For example, if you field two players from the same league and the same club, it will have a very positive effect on the chemistry of both players. However, if all of the other nine players come from other clubs and other leagues and also have a different nationality, it may still be the case that the individual chemistry of the two players with the same nationality and club affiliation is weak.
So you have to make sure that there are connections between different players throughout the team in terms of their origin, their league or their club. Finally, another important piece of information: There are no longer any links between players that ensure better chemistry. So it is no longer important that players from the same club or league play next to each other in order to optimize chemistry. It is enough if they are both set up. A left winger and a right back from the same club can also ensure that your chemistry improves.

Two RB Leipzig kickers are part of the defense
The RB Leipzig keeper is between the posts Péter Gulácsi. The Hungarian international is once again one of the best goalkeepers from the 1st Bundesliga in FC 25. Values such as 82 pikes and 83 positioning make the Red Bulls keeper a safe support. Robin Koch from Eintracht Frankfurt and Min-jae Kim from FC Bayern Munich play in front of Gulácsi in the back four. Both were already in the Team of the Week and received an Inform card from EA. The German national player and European Championship participant Koch impresses with ratings such as 86 defense and 83 physicality. Bayern’s Min-jae Kim also – 87 defense and 85 physicality are top values. Plays in defense on the left David Raum from the Red Bulls. The German international is fast (85 pace) and has a strong physical rating (78). Jeremie Frimpong from German champions Bayer 04 Leverkusen completes the defense. 93 pace and 86 dribbling make the Dutchman a great right-back for your Bundesliga starter team in FC 25 Ultimate Team.
RB Leipzig is also represented in FC 25
Jamal Musiala stands out in midfield
The midfield is led by Jamal Musiala. The dribbling artist from FC Bayern Munich is the player with the highest overall rating in our FC 25 Bundesliga starter team. With values like 90 dribbling and 84 speed, the star of the DFB team will give you great joy. In addition to Musiala, we rely on the Inform version of Aleix Garcia in the midfield center. The Spanish newcomer from Bayer 04 Leverkusen is a classic all-rounder – with almost exclusively scores of 80 and above.
Another Bundesliga newcomer who has already proven his class in the first weeks of the 2024/25 season plays on the right in midfield: Michael Olise. The Inform version of the Frenchman, who moved from Crystal Palace in the Premier League to FC Bayern, is particularly impressive with 86 dribbling, 84 passing and 83 pace. On the left side we have chosen Maximilian Mittelstädt from VfB Stuttgart in the FC 25 Bundesliga starter team. The German national player’s information card is impressive – the defense (84) and dribbling (82) values in particular stand out.
Openda and Boniface form the attack
The storm is caused by one RB Leipzig-Star led. Loïs Opendawho received a +3 upgrade in FC 25, impresses with 93 pace and 84 shooting. The Belgian is a huge asset for your offense! Victor Boniface from Bayer 04 Leverkusen storms alongside Openda. The Nigerian is the sixth player in our FC 25 Bundesliga starter team with an Inform card. With 87 shooting and 86 physicality, Boniface is the perfect complement to the lightning-fast Openda.
With this Bundesliga starter team you will not only be competitive in FC 25 Ultimate Team in the first few weeks. Maybe you’ll just be inspired and just bring a few of our players into your team. However you do it: We wish you a successful start to the season in FC 25 Ultimate Team!
