FUT 21: Ligue 1 Conforama (FRA 1) - budget squad FIFA 21 guide, tips
Find the best Ligue 1 Conforama starting line-up on a budget!
Last update: 23 June 2021
In this chapter of the FIFA 21 guide, you can find the budget version of the French Ligue 1 squad for FUT 21. The selected footballers were divided by their position on the pitch to help you adjust them yo your tactics. They are also thoroughly described in terms of statistics and their capabilities. In addition, we propose appropriate chemistry style cards for each player.
The proposed first budget Ligue 1 gold squad was based on player statistics released by EA. These footballers can become a popular choice for many players wanting to create a solid team. Thus, the price of these cards can get increased or they can become hard to find in the transfer market. Moreover, some footballers may change clubs and move to another league, meaning they will no longer fit the lineup. These players will get replaced with others playing in a particular league. With that in mind, and to save some of your precious time, list at least two players per position.
{ramkazielona}When selecting players for our Ligue 1 starting line-up in FUT 21, we chose those who cost as little money as possible, but there may be some exceptions. The total cost of the starting team should not be more than /- 20,000. However, it should be noted that the prices of the proposed players will vary across platforms – cards in the PC transfer market are usually slightly more expensive.{/ramkazielona}

Benjamin Lecomte AS Monaco Football Club SA France | Diving: 80 Handling: 78 Kicking: 77 Reflexes: 81 Positioning: 80 | Benjamin Lecomte, AS Monaco's goalkeeper, is a solid choice for your goal. His greatest strengths are diving, positioning, and reflexes. | 80 |
Stéphane Ruffier AS Saint-Étienne France | Diving: 80 Handling: 81 Kicking: 74 Reflexes: 81 Positioning: 82 | Stéphane Ruffier is another good budget goalkeeper in Ligue 1. The goalkeeper of AS Saint-Étienne has better handling than Lecomte, but can be slightly more expensive. | 83 |
Central defenders
Player name, club, nationality | Key statistics | Description | Overall score |
Pedro Mendes Montpellier Hérault SC Portugal | Weak foot: 3/5 Physical: 80 Defending: 79 Passing: 50 Pace: 67 Dribbling: 62 | A solid defender for the starting line-up that can be purchased for little money. By assigning him the Anchor style card, you will get a defender with very good defensive and physical stats (especially strength and aggression). | 77 |
Thilo Kehrer Paris Saint-Germain Germany | Weak foot: 5/5 Physical: 74 Defending: 78 Passing: 65 Pace: 72 Dribbling: 68 | Thilo Kehrer is another solid defense player for a smaller budget. He has a pretty good pace for a CB. It is worth assigning him the Anchor style card to enhance his defending and physical stats. | 77 |
Abdou Diallo Paris Saint-Germain France | Weak foot: 3/5 Physical: 76 Defending: 78 Passing: 71 Pace: 75 Dribbling: 76 | Abdou Diallo is another very good defensive player. He has well-balanced statistics, but it's worth assigning him the Anchor style card to enhance his defending and physical stats. | 78 |
Right back
Player name, club, nationality | Key statistics | Description | Overall score |
Bouna Sarr Olympique de Marseille France | Weak foot: 3/5 Pace: 81 Physical: 75 Defending: 71 Passing: 74 Dribbling: 76 | Bouna Sarr is a solid and fast side defender. You can increase his defending and physical stats with the Anchor or Sentinel style cards. | 77 |
Hamari Traoré Stade Rennais FC Mali | Weak foot: 3/5 Pace: 82 Physical: 76 Defending: 73 Passing: 72 Dribbling: 76 | Hamari Traoré is certainly a better choice than the previously described Bouna Sarr but will probably also be a bit more expensive than him. By assigning him the Shadow style card, you will have a fast player on the wing (94 Pace) who will be able to switch into offensive and defend access to the goal upon return. | 79 |
Left back
Player name, club, nationality | Key statistics | Description | Overall score |
Hassane Kamara OGC Nice France | Weak foot: 3/5 Pace: 88 Physical: 76 Defending: 71 Passing: 68 Dribbling: 76 | Among left-sided defenders in Ligue 1, it will be hard to find a better player for a small budget than Hassane Kamara. This player received a major upgrade in the latest edition of FIFA (previously his card had an overall rating of 69). Kamara's biggest advantage is his speed. Depending on whether you want to play him more offensively or make him a defender at the back, you can choose the Shadow or Anchor style card. | 77 |
Jordan Amavi Olympique de Marseille France | Weak foot: 5/5 Pace: 76 Physical: 75 Defending: 76 Passing: 71 Dribbling: 76 | Jordan Amavi is another good option for the left-side defender. If you want to make him a side defender initiating action and sprinting to the opponent's goal then it's worth picking the Shadow style card. However, if you want to make him a more defensive player positioned at the back, we suggest the Anchor card. | 78 |
Central midfielders
Player name, club, nationality | Key statistics | Description | Overall score |
Florent Mollet Montpellier Hérault S.C. France | Weak foot: 4/5 Skill Moves: 4/5 Pace: 74 Shooting: 75 Physical: 60 Defending: 50 Passing: 79 Dribbling: 80 | Florent Mollet certainly deserves attention. Despite his low overall rating, he has 4 stars in weak foot and 4 stars in special moves. He also has good pace, and dribbling. By assigning him the Artist style card, you will get a very good central offensive midfielder. | 78 |
Ander Herrera Paris Saint-Germain Spain | Weak foot: 4/5 Skill Moves: 3/5 Pace: 66 Shooting: 72 Physical: 74 Defending: 79 Passing: 77 Dribbling: 79 | Andre Herrera is another footballer to look out for when choosing players for the midfield. Unfortunately, he received a fairly large downgrade compared to his card from the last year, but Herrera is still a good choice for a defensive midfielder (CDM) with well-balanced statistics. It is worth assigning him the Powerhouse style card – he will then be virtually impossible to pass. | 79 |
Renato Sanches LOSC Lille Portugal | Weak foot: 4/5 Skill Moves: 4/5 Pace: 79 Shooting: 72 Physical: 81 Defending: 71 Passing: 76 Dribbling: 81 | Renato Sanches is another very good midfield option. Sanches has 4 stars in the weak foot meaning he doesn't have to move the ball to the stronger leg during the game. He will do well as a regular midfielder (we suggest the Artist card). | 78 |
Alexandr Golovin AS Monaco Football Club SA Russia | Weak foot: 4/5 Skill Moves: 4/5 Pace: 80 Shooting: 72 Physical: 68 Defending: 67 Passing: 79 Dribbling: 83 | When selecting a budget player for midfield, it is worth paying attention to Golovin. By assigning him the Maestro or Engine style card, you will gain a versatile footballer with very well balanced statistics. | 79 |

Jonathan Bamba LOSC Lille France | Weak foot: 4/5 Skill Moves: 4/5 Pace: 88 Shooting: 74 Passes: 70 Dribbling: 80 Physical: 64 | It's hard to find a better left-side midfielder / left winger in Ligue 1 for a small budget than Jonathan Bamba. Give him the Finisher style card to get an extremely fast footballer with good dribbling who can finish off the action with a shot towards the goal. | 78 |
Luiz Araújo LOSC Lille Brazil | Weak foot: 2/5 Skill Moves: 3/5 Pace: 88 Shooting: 67 Passing: 69 Dribbling: 81 Physical: 51 | Another LOSC Lille player who will perform well as a left midfielder.

Right wingers / Right midfielders
Player name, club, nationality | Key statistics | Description | Overall score |
Jonathan Ikoné LOSC Lille France | Weak foot: 3/5 Skill Moves: 4/5 Pace: 89 Shooting: 70 Passing: 73 Dribbling: 83 Physical: 60 | Jonathan Ikoné is one of the best players playing as the right winger / right midfielder. He is fast and controls the ball well, but the passing and shooting statistics will have to be improved with the Finisher card. | 79 |
Gelson Martins AS Monaco Football Club SA Portugal | Weak foot: 3/5 Skill moves: 5/5 Pace: 94 Shooting: 71 Passing: 72 Dribbling: 85 Physical: 61 | Gelson Martins is another very fast player who can play on the right wing or as a right midfielder.

Give him the Hunter or Finisher style card and he will certainly score a lot of goals for your team. | 79 |
Darío Benedetto Olympique de Marseille Argentina | Weak foot: 5/5 Skill Moves: 3/5 Pace: 77 Shooting: 80 Passing: 67 Dribbling: 76 Physical: 75 | Darío Benedetto is another great striker for a starting Ligue 1 team. This Olympique de Marseille footballer has 5 stars in the weak foot so you don't have to worry about him switching the ball to the stronger leg to finish an action. By assigning this player the Sniper style card, you will get a true goal-scoring machine (96 finishing points!). | 79 |
Burak Yilmaz LOSC Lille Turkey | Weak foot: 3/5 Skill Moves: 3/5 Pace: 80 Shooting: 81 Passing: 65 Dribbling: 69 Physical: 77 | Burak Yilmaz has high pace and can finish the action with a shot at the goal. By assigning this player the Hawk style card, you will improve his physical and shooting stats.
