Cheapest 85-rated players in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team (May 2023)

The never-ending saga of new and refreshing promos in EA Sports FIFA 23 continues. Since there are so many packs to open, the transfer market in Ultimate Team gets flooded with new items frequently. This influx of items often leads to a drop in prices for players who are not currently in the meta. As a result, gamers have the opportunity to engage in Squad Building Challenges (SBCs) and experiment with both new and established meta players.

To keep up with the constantly evolving (TOTS Season) meta and ups and downs of the transfer market, FIFA 23 players must replace their club items on a regular basis. However, an FUT player's item value is not solely determined by their rating in most scenarios.

These low 85-rated cards can still be valuable in certain situations in Ultimate Team, especially if they possess desirable attributes, stats, and traits. In other cases, they might help players get maximum chemistry for their FUT squad.
