FIFA 22 was officially released last Friday – and players have already been racking up the hours on the new game.
As ever, one of the most popular FIFA game modes has been Ultimate Team.
With Ones To Watch cards, Team of the Week cards and new FUT Heroes, there’s already plenty of items out there for players to buy in order to improve their teams.
But with the game in its infancy, many players will not have accrued the level of coins required to build super teams.
Plenty of effort, then, has gone into finding some of the cheapest yet most effective players on the game.
It is worth noting that at this stage, with the lack of special cards and relatively low supply compared to later in the game, it is much more costly to obtain certain players than it would be a few months down the line.
Let’s take a look at some of the cheapest players and the best teams you can build for under 50,000 coins (all prices are based on PlayStation costs at the time of writing):
