FIFA 22 best under-21 FUT team confirmed featuring Jadon Sancho and Phil Foden

EA Sports has confirmed the highest-rated under-21 team on FIFA 22 Ultimate Team, featuring Jadon Sancho, Phil Foden and Erling Haaland.

EA Sports confirmed the highest-rated Premier League players in FIFA 22 earlier this month, ahead of the game's UK and worldwide release date of Friday October 1, 2021, with Manchester United winger Sancho featuring in the top 20 Premier League players.

EA has now released the highest-rated team of players aged under-21, with six Premier League players featuring in the side along with promising young talents from Barcelona, Borussia Dortmund and Atletico Madrid.

Whilst these players may not be similarly rated to the likes of Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Kylian Mbappe, EA has a history of releasing promotion events throughout the year that could see these players receive huge rating boosts and find their way into your FIFA Ultimate Team.

Chelsea, Man United and Arsenal all have one player included in the highest-rated under 21 XI, whilst Man City have two players representing them, following their Premier League success last year.

Here is the confirmed EA Sports FIFA 22 highest-rated under-21 XI.

  • CF: Joao Felix (Atletico Madrid) - 83 overall
  • ST: Erling Haaland (Borussia Dortmund) - 88 overall
  • RW: Ferran Torres (Manchester City) - 82 overall
  • RM: Jadon Sancho (Manchester United) - 87 overall
  • CM: Pedri (FC Barcelona) - 81 overall

New United signing Jadon Sancho features in the under-21 highest-rated XI on FIFA 22, along with former Borussia Dortmund teammate Erling Haaland the only players above 86 overall included in the squad.

Five Premier League players feature in the side along with Sancho, including Reece James, Bukayo Saka, Illan Meslier and Manchester City duo, Phil Foden and Ferran Torres.

Bayern Munich superstar left-back Alphonso Davies also features in the side, alongside fellow Bundesliga player Maxence Lacroix, who will be a popular choice for FUT players this year with his 88 pace at centre back.

Rounding off the highest-rated under 21 team in FIFA 22 are La Liga stars Joao Felix of Atletico Madrid and Pedri of Barcelona, with the latter having played over 70 matches since the start of last season after featuring as a first-team player for club and country across all domestic and international competitions.
