Do you want to start the new FUT season with a Premier League team? Then here are some players for the season start that don’t cost too many coins in FIFA 21.
What kind of team is this? The Premier League offers top players in abundance. However, they also cost a considerable amount of coins, which is hard to accumulate in the first weeks. Players like De Bruyne, Salah, or OTW player Timo Werner are simply not affordable.
That’s why we looked for cards in the Premier League that are well suited for starting in Ultimate Team, but don’t cost a fortune. After all, the coins from trading should be spent wisely.
Note: You won’t find absolute overpowered players here that will make you dominate the Weekend League. However, the following team can provide a good starting point for your FUT season.
Good Premier League Team for Few Coins
What players are in the team? Building a cheap Premier League team is not that easy. The English league tends to be more expensive than, for example, the Bundesliga. In the affordable Bundesliga team, we looked for players that cost no more than 5,000 coins – that was also the guideline for the Premier League.
Ideally, the value should be even lower. Nevertheless, the team must be competitive. With the team builder, we built the following team:

As of the current state of the transfer market (09.10.), this team costs an average of 32,000 coins on PS4. Keep in mind that this value can go up or down in the currently highly fluctuating market.
What’s certain is that with this selection of players, you have a solid mix for the start. Why we included exactly these players in our team, we explain here:
- Kasper Schmeichel: The goalkeeper of Leicester City is reliable in all areas and has been fluctuating between 2,000 and 4,000 coins in the last days. A good value for a usable keeper. A comparable alternative would be Rui Patricio from the Wolves.
- Ben Chilwell: The left-back costs only around 1,800 coins and is therefore perfect for a small budget. He has solid stats in pace, defense, passing, and dribbling. Slightly more expensive alternatives would be Benjamin Mendy (4,000 coins, 81) or Lucas Digne (5,500 coins, 84).
- Joel Matip: The Liverpool player is particularly strong defensively and is excellent in headers due to his height. His overall rating of 83 costs about 3,900 coins.
- Fikayo Tomori: The Chelsea defender currently costs a full 5,000 coins, despite his 76 rating. Why? Probably because the speed stat of 80 is very high for a center-back. It’s not easy to outrun him. Giving him a chance could be worthwhile.
- Serge Aurier: There are hardly any right-backs in the lower price segment that can compete with Aurier’s stats. He currently costs just over 1,000 coins. The more expensive but fast alternative would be Hector Bellerin (6,800 coins).
- Naby Keita: The former Leipzig player also costs just over 1,000 coins, but has decent stats in speed and especially in dribbling.
- Ilkay Gündogan: The ManCity player is a skillful partner for Keita in the double six. He brings strong passing and dribbling stats along with four-star skills and weak foot – all for a price of only 3,100 coins.
- James Maddison: The Premier League doesn’t offer a large selection of really strong CAMs under 5,000 coins. Our choice fell on Leicester’s Maddison, who has solid offensive stats and works well in passing and dribbling. He also has the combination of 4-star skills and 4 stars on his weak foot. Price point: 2,500 coins.
- Diogo Jota: Caution, special case. Diogo Jota started the new season at a price of 10,000 and then dropped sharply. It is quite possible that this drop is only temporary. He has decent speed and good dribbling stats – plus 4-star skills and 5 stars on the weak foot. Currently, he costs around 5,000 coins – a good investment at the start. By the way, Jota is actually quite a strong FIFA player.
- Willian: Willian is still a good choice on the right wing. He is not as fast as he used to be, but he is still quite quick. He can dribble, has a decent weak foot, and good stats in passing and dribbling. He currently costs 2,700 coins. A cheaper alternative would be Xherdan Shaqiri, who is among the 5-star skiller (1,000 coins).
- Danny Ings: The Premier League offers many top strikers, but they are not cheap. However, in the lower price segment, Danny Ings can impress with at least solid stats – and costs just 750 coins. Exciting alternatives like Raúl Jimenez (6,800 coins) and Alexandre Lacazette (11,000 coins) fall outside the range of a cheap starter team.
