FIFA 20 Ultimate Team: Best USA Team - Pulisic, McKennie, Boyd & more

It’s MLS Cup week in the USA, with Western Conference Champiside Seattle Sounders, facing off against the Eastern Conference’s Toronto FC.

In anticipation of the Cup Final this Sunday (10th November), we bring you the best FUT made up of players from the USA.

The team has been built using players with American nationality and with the most suitable traits for each position.

Zack Steffen is relishing the challenge of playing in the German top flight, putting in consistently excellent performances for Dusseldorf. These performances are making a case for him to return to England in the near future.

Excellent reflexes (84) and positioning stats (74) have enabled this keeper to de-throne Brad Guzan, and at such an affordable price, we urge you to bring this young goalkeeper into your squad.

Alternative option: Brad Guzan (OVR 72)

Pulisic joined Chelsea over the summer, and was tasked with filling the Hazard-shaped hole in Chelsea’s attack. His immense acceleration (93) and balance statistics make him the ideal winger in any squad, and his 1,000 coin price tag makes him worth every penny.

Alternative option: Gyasi Zardes (OVR 71)

The Ultimate USA team

Unless you are a massive lover of soccer, it is unlikely that you will be using a full side of players from the USA.

Look to use this team with one of our other teams, such as the Ultimate MLS team to make a truly unstoppable hybrid.
