In FC Online (FCO), managers can build their dream team by scouting and positioning players themselves. You can build a squad based on your favorite real-life team, or, regardless of fandom, operate a team purely for FCO gameplay.

Today, we’ll look at squad compositions chosen by top-tier managers who play FCO. Recently, there has been a trend of building teams based on single club or national team colors. Amidst this, the 25DP class is gaining attention for its excellent performance and cost-efficiency. We’ve compiled key team colors and squads based on data from top managers in the Trend Center, so if you're struggling with team building, this should be a helpful reference.

The 25DP class single team is one we’ve briefly touched upon in our single team introduction. While you have to let go of the romance of filling all 11 spots with a specific country or club, we highly recommend it if you prioritize cost-efficiency and performance. There are many players with new traits that provide a great feel, and the prices are less burdensome than recently released classes. Plus, there is a sufficient supply of +8 enhanced cards.

Building a squad with 25DP makes it easy to create a well-balanced team. Since the salary distribution per position is reasonable, you can simply fill in the players you want according to your budget. If you find yourself over the salary cap, consider sacrificing 25DP for the goalkeeper position. Since you only need 10 players to activate the effect, your field players will still receive the DP single team bonus.

If you have enough capital, it is possible to build a 'platinum' team with +11 enhancements or higher. Interestingly, while the DP ratio decreases in squads worth quadrillions rather than trillions, the cost-efficiency seems to drop once you go beyond that level. Recently, DP prices have risen, and when trying to maximize cost-efficiency with DP in squads worth over 5 quadrillion, I’ve actually found myself with leftover salary.

Next is the South Korea team color. The player composition for South Korea varies significantly depending on the manager. The main class is TK, but managers often mix in 25KB and KHD classes where needed for salary management. It can be built quite cheaply if you focus on cost-efficiency, but it’s also a team that requires significantly more BP if you want to bring in top-tier players with gold cards or higher.

From starting with loan packs to the fun of acquiring your own players one by one, this team color is very accessible because it features many familiar players. We’ll introduce squads using the South Korea team color based on actual posts from the FC Online INVEN community. Since we covered budget-friendly options in our last guide, we’ve brought two squads with significant club values.

Next is FC Barcelona. As of July 9, we’ve brought a configuration actually used in 1vs1 official matches by players at the Challenger grade or higher. FC Barcelona also seems to offer a variety of player choices depending on your budget. Even when looking at teams worth less than 1 quadrillion, it is one of the most chosen team colors, and even when expanding the range to 10 quadrillion, it ranks second in preference after Liverpool.

Team building with FC Barcelona tends to lean more toward the attack. Looking at the lineups of top managers, the overall rating (OVR) of the attacking line is usually set a bit higher. To maintain a balance between offense and defense, it seems necessary to save salary on fullbacks and the goalkeeper, especially the goalkeeper position. Also, unfortunately, it’s hard to find Iniesta or Xavi, who are in many people's memories.

Real Madrid, the rival of FC Barcelona, is another essential and popular team. Since Real Madrid has produced numerous star players from legends of the past to the Galácticos era, various combinations are possible depending on your taste and budget. You can actively use Beckham, Zidane, Figo, Ronaldo, and Carlos, who left strong memories of the first Galácticos era, or combine them with current active players.

Among the many strikers who have passed through Real Madrid, Ronaldo is the most preferred choice for the striker position. It’s an interesting result considering Ronaldo also occupies a spot in the FC Barcelona squad. Hazard, Butragueño, Figo, Beckham, and Hagi compete for the flanks, and there is a giant named Zidane in the attacking midfielder position. There are also many familiar names in the defense.

When talking about team colors in FC Online, Manchester United cannot be left out. The composition of forwards and midfielders is very diverse. In defense, Ferdinand and Vidic hold down the back line reliably. Like the teams mentioned earlier, Manchester United is a club that has produced many legendary players, allowing for various configurations based on your preference.

A major advantage of Manchester United is that the offense and defense are generally well-balanced. There are many players with decent performance and salary across all positions, making it easy to maintain balance. From legends you’ve only heard of to active players, you can make choices based on your taste.
