Defenders
- Right Back: Sacha Boey (Bayern Munich)
Boey is a top pick for the right-back position. With decent pace, dribbling, and defending stats, he’s one of the few solid fullbacks in the Bundesliga. His French nationality and link to Bayern Munich will slightly raise his price, but he’s worth the investment. - Center Backs:
- Kim Min-Jae (Bayern Munich)
Known for his strong defensive skills and good physicality, Kim Min-Jae brings stability to the backline. His passing may be subpar, but for the start of FC25, he’s more than reliable. - Edmond Tapsoba (Bayer Leverkusen)
Tapsoba, with his towering presence and excellent pace, is a must-have for any Bundesliga starter squad. His physicality and good defending stats make him a defensive powerhouse.
- Kim Min-Jae (Bayern Munich)
- Left Back: David Raum (RB Leipzig)
Raum is a well-rounded left-back with good pace, defending, and physicality. His price may lean toward the expensive side due to his versatility, but he’s worth the coins as a reliable fullback.

Midfielders
- Right Midfielder: Sheraldo Becker (Union Berlin)
Becker might raise some eyebrows, but his pace is electric. Although his two-star weak foot is a drawback, his ability to cut inside and take finesse shots makes him dangerous. This is a player for those who like to attack and shoot from distance. - Central Midfielders:
- Konrad Laimer (Bayern Munich)
Laimer is a Bundesliga legend, offering a great all-around presence in midfield. His high pace and solid defensive and physical attributes make him an ideal box-to-box midfielder. - Marcel Sabitzer (Borussia Dortmund)
Sabitzer is likely the most expensive player in the team due to his versatility. With good pace, dribbling, shooting, and passing, he will be a key contributor on both ends of the pitch.
- Konrad Laimer (Bayern Munich)
- Left Midfielder: Karim Adeyemi (Borussia Dortmund)
Adeyemi’s 96 pace makes him a nightmare for defenders. He’s a flexible player who can be used as a left winger, striker, or even in other forward positions. His ability to switch roles gives your team more attacking options.
Forwards
- Striker: Donyell Malen (Borussia Dortmund)
Mané remains a formidable force with his combination of speed, dribbling, and shooting. He fits perfectly into a starting Bundesliga team with his ability to play in multiple positions across the front line. - Striker: Serge Gnabry (Bayern Munich)
Gnabry is an intriguing pick for the second striker role. Although he’s not the fastest, a Hunter chemistry style can boost his pace and shooting stats, making him a decent option early on. His four-star skills will help create attacking opportunities, though his physicality is lacking.
Key Tips for Building Your Bundesliga Team
For the best Bundesliga starter team, balance is crucial. You want to invest in a mix of players with high pace, physicality, and decent passing stats to dominate early in the game.
