Squad Building Challenges | FUT FIFA 17 Guide

Last update: 27 October 2016

Squad Building Challenges are offered by the game, giving us certain guidelines when creating a squad. They involve team chemistry, overall squad rating, types of cards, leagues, clubs, etc. Nevertheless, after creating a squad, all players are deleted from our club, in exchange for a reward - a package or coins. It's a good chance to find interesting players and getting some coins. However, as a result of these challenges, the transfer market is much more unpredictable. Weak cards are often very expensive, only because they can be applied to many squads. This chapter contains information on how to create squads to make some money.

Creating Squads

Begin squad building with a search for cheap players that meet with the requirements of the task. However, don't buy them instantly. Add such players to the concept squad, or through the squad creator on web pages such as futhead, or futwiz. One after another, you need to patiently acquire further players. The tips strictly about creating a squad can be found in the chapter about team chemistry.

Loyalty Bonus

Loyalty Bonus is a chemistry point received by the player acquired through a package, or the one who managed to play through 10 matches in the club. The math is easy - if you place 11 freshly bought players on their positions, each of them will have 9 chemistry, with your whole squad having 99. It's a frequent problem when doing squad building challenges, as many of them requires 100 chemistry.

However, there is a way to have 10 chemistry without having the player take part in 10 matches. He has to have two times more points for connections than normally required (if you have no idea what is going on, take a look at the "team chemistry" chapter)

Most of the time, you'll give 10 chemistry to one of the side defenders, as in most formations they only have two connections. Practically, to give the player on such position full chemistry without a bonus for loyalty, he needs to have two green connections, or one perfect connection and one orange.

Copying Squads

The fastest method of creating squads for challenges is copying teams created by other users. To find them, just write the English name of the challenge to the search engine. First few results should contain someone's teams. Always remember to check the squad if it matches the guidelines, and check how the chosen squad is graded or commented on by other players. Sometimes, one player from the squad doesn't have a fair price on the market. In that case, you need to search for an alternative. First, search for a player from the given league/nationality, who will give the same amount of chemistry to the team. However, in some cases you need to exchange other players.
