Best Italian Players to Buy in FIFA 20 Career Mode and Ultimate Team
The Italian football team has been recognized by fans around the world for its outstanding results and has qualified for the European championship in 2020, making it one of the contenders for the title this summer. So, who are the best players in the Italian team? Here, we feature the best Italian players to buy in FIFA 20 Career Mode and Ultimate Team.
Giorgio Chiellini (OVR 89 – POT 89)
• Age: 34
• Position(s): CB
• Club: Piemonte Calcio (Juventus)
• Country: Italy
• Value: ￡22.1 million (￡36.4 million release clause)
• Wage: ￡194,000 a week
• FUT Price: 39,000 PS4 / 45,000 Xbox One
A stalwart in the heart of Italy's defense for over a decade, even at 35 remains one of the game's foremost center-backs. Only the Champions League has eluded Chiellini in a decorated career that includes a World Cup win and eight Serie A titles.
Giorgio Chiellini reads the game brilliantly, tackles superbly and is strong enough to mix with the best of them. 94 Defensive Awareness, 91 Standing Tackle, and 89 Sliding Tackle make him one of the best tacklers on FIFA 20. The Italian is 89 overall, but don't expect to see that rating increase as he has been sidelined by a serious Achilles injury. The Italian will set you back at least 39,000 FUT 20 coins but could be a bargain buy in the short term on Career Mode.
Lorenzo Insigne (OVR 87 – POT 87)
• Age: 28
• Position(s): CF, LW, ST
• Club: Napoli
• Country: Italy
• Value: ￡46.8 million (￡79.6 million release clause)
• Wage: ￡126,000 a week
• FUT Price: 24,500 PS4 / 25,000 Xbox One
Just seven international goals do not accurately represent the talent Lorenzo Insigne possesses. The Napoli forward is tricky and creative highlighted by his three goals and five assists this season.
Insigne is pint-sized – just 5ft 4in – but his low center of gravity, agility (94) and balance (93) make him incredibly dangerous in-game. The Italian's pace rockets to 97 with a Hunter chemistry style and his finishing goes up to 82, thus making him a more-than-capable goalscorer.
Leonardo Bonucci (OVR 86 – POT 86)
• Age: 32
• Position(s): CB
• Club: Piemonte Calcio
• Country: Italy
• Value: ￡25.7 million (￡42.3 million release clause)
• Wage: ￡144,000 a week
• FUT Price: 14,500 PS4 / 15,250 Xbox One
In terms of pure defenders, there are few players better in the world than veteran Italian center-back Bonucci, who reads the game expertly. That is reflected in his ratings for FIFA 20, with his strongest points his reading of the game, his physical qualities, and his long passing abilities.
His 90 Interceptions and 90 Defensive Awareness mean he is rarely caught out of position. Costing around 15,000 coins on FUT, Bonucci can prove to be an astute acquisition. Not enough coins? You can buy FIFA 20 coins through u4gm at the lowest price. With these coins, you can get your favorite Leonardo Bonucci.
Marco Verratti (OVR 86 – POT 88)
• Age: 26
• Position(s): CM CDM
• Club: PSG
• Country: Italy
• Value: ￡52.2 million (￡100.5 million release clause)
• Wage: ￡144,000 a week
• FUT Price: 15,000 PS4 / 17,500 Xbox One
Marco Verratti is firmly established among the best central midfielders in the world. PSG's Italian maestro does not score many goals – however, his all-round contribution has been enough to earn a French Player of the Year award to go with his six Ligue 1 titles. Since making the jump up from a silver card back in FIFA 14, he's finished with a Team of the Season in every game but one.
With five in-game stats above 90 and three more at 89, the reliable Italian remains one of the silkiest midfielders in the game with just the right amount of bite to go with the elegance. Strong defensively with 84 Interceptions, great on the ball with 90 Dribbling and an excellent distributor with 90 Short Passing, Verratti is the complete midfielder – he will cost upwards of ￡60 million on Career Mode but is worth the investment.
Ciro Immobile (OVR 86 – POT 86)
• Age: 29
• Position(s): ST
• Club: Lazio
• Country: Italy
• Value: ￡40.1 million (￡68.1 million release clause)
• Wage: ￡95,000 a week
• FUT Price: 18,000 PS4 / 17,000 Xbox One
15 goals in just 13 league games this season represents a fantastic start to the season for Ciro Immobile. The five-time Serie A top goalscorer has only failed to score in two matches, as Lazio sit third in Serie A. The Lazio forward has amassed 16 goals and five assists across just 15 appearances so far this season, so his FUT popularity is understandable.
Immobile's FUT card has 91 positionings and 87 finishing so he'll have no issue finishing off any chance that comes his way. Available for 18,000 coins on FUT, Immobile is an excellent attacking option.
Gianluigi Donnarumma (OVR 85 – POT 92)
• Age: 20
• Position(s): GK
• Club: Milan
• Country: Italy
• Value: ￡37.4 million (￡71 million release clause)
• Wage: ￡30,000 a week
• FUT Price: 8,300 PS4 / 9,300 Xbox One
The imposing young custodian has been making waves for several years now and is rated as Serie A's third-best goalkeeper, according to FIFA 20. He is particularly good at shot-stopping, with excellent reflexes and diving ratings. The 20-year-old has a knack for making acrobatic saves, as he's able to reach into the top corner thanks to his height (6'5") and diving ability (90).
Donnarumma is a superb shot-stopper. The Milan goalkeeper boasts 90 Diving and 90 Reflexes which makes him one of the best around in one on one situations. Available on the FUT transfer market for under 10,000 coins, Donnarumma can be a valuable asset to your team.
Salvatore Sirigu (OVR 84 – POT 84)
• Age: 32
• Position(s): GK
• Club: Torino
• Country: Italy
• Value: ￡17.1 million (￡29.1 million release clause)
• Wage: ￡48,000 a week
• FUT Price: 3,700 PS4 / 4,200 Xbox One
Sirigu has added to the 24 caps he already has, and with Donnarumma set to be Italy's number one for the foreseeable future, Sirigu will have to settle for number two once more.
Sirigu is a reliable man, 84 Diving and 84 Positioning are the Torino keeper's stand out attributes. The 32-year-old represents value for money on both FUT and Career Mode as he costs 4,000 coins and ￡20 million respectively.
Jorginho (OVR 83 – POT 84)
• Age: 27
• Position(s): CM CDM
• Club: Chelsea
• Country: Italy
• Value: ￡26.1 million (￡51.5 million release clause)
• Wage: ￡126,000 a week
• FUT Price: 2,000 PS4 / 1,900 Xbox One
Chelsea midfielder Jorginho is a regular in the Azzurri line up. He started nine of the ten European Championship qualifiers, scoring three times as Italy won all ten games, conceding just four goals along the way.
That is exactly where Chelsea midfielder Jorginho finds himself after a strange first season since his move from Napoli in the summer. In the Premier League alone, Jorginho completed 3,118 passes but without a single assist and only six big chances created, due to his position on the pitch.
An excellent distributor in midfield, Jorginho's 87 Vision and 89 Short Passing can help your team start attacks from deep. Costing just 2,000 coins on FUT, Jorginho can be the pivot in your midfield that transforms defense to attack.
Fabio Quagliarella (OVR 83 – POT 83)
• Age: 36
• Position(s): ST
• Club: Sampdoria
• Country: Italy
• Value: ￡7.2 million (￡12.2 million release clause)
• Wage: ￡38,000 a week
• FUT Price: 2,500 PS4 / 2,500 Xbox One
The evergreen Fabio Quagliarella scored an impressive 26 goals last season, an impressive return for the 36-year-old. The Sampdoria captain has struggled this season, scoring just once as his side languish in the relegation zone.
Quagliarella's game is based around shooting. Phenomenal 89 Finishing and 87 Positioning make the Italian striker lethal in the box. 90 Shot Power combined with 89 Long Shots also make Quagliarella devastating from anywhere around the penalty area.
Gianluigi Buffon (OVR 83 – POT 83)
• Age: 41
• Position(s): GK
• Club: Piemonte Calcio
• Country: Italy
• Value: ￡2.4 million (￡3.9 million release clause)
• Wage: ￡52,000 a week
• FUT Price: 1,700 PS4 / 1,700 Xbox One
Amassing a whopping 176 caps for Italy, Gianluigi Buffon is a legend of the modern game.
Having gained tournament experience as a reserve in the 1998 World Cup, Buffon suffered heartbreak when a broken hand ruled him out of Euro 2000, a tournament Italy went on to finish runners-up in.
He made up for this in 2006 though, putting in some spectacular performances that led to the Azzurri winning the trophy and Buffon finishing second in the FIFA World Player of the Year poll.
Buffon has also won the World Goalkeeper of the Year award a record four times and was named the eighth-best keeper ever in the "Top 10 Goalkeepers of All Time" list.
At 41 years old, Buffon is far from his prime. However, 91 Positioning means Buffon is rarely caught out of position. A cheap option on both FUT and Career Mode, snap him up quickly before he retires!
