Hello, I’m 꽤돼.

​

I recently rebuilt my squad in FC Online using the official guide. The biggest benefits were being able to look up team colors and top users’ squads right away, even with limited football knowledge, and finding it easier to stay within budget while checking new traits alongside current market prices.

​

In the past, I often felt lost trying to build a team based on player names alone. This time, the official guide made it much easier to put together a team for league matches or 1:1 games with friends.

​

For this squad, I was deciding between Liverpool and Juventus.

​

In the end, I chose Liverpool because it looked better for both new trait combinations and value for money.

Feature I explored	How I used it for this squad	Practical benefit
Trend Center	Checked team colors and player tiers for ranked 1vs1 matches	Made it easy to see popular teams at a glance
Top users’ squads	Used top Liverpool squads and formations as references	Provided a starting point for building my own team
Adding players to the watchlist in bulk	Added all 11 players I needed to my watchlist at once	Saved time searching for players
Transfer market purchases	Bought the players on my watchlist directly	Let me complete the team quickly at current market prices

How I started building a squad with the official guide

I began my search for a team in the Trend Center, focusing on ranked 1vs1 matches.

​

With my limited football knowledge, I often used to get stuck before I had even started, unsure which players to use or which team colors were good.

​

This time, I used the team color and player tier search options together in the Trend Center to find a team I liked.

​

The benefit of this approach is that it goes beyond showing you popular teams:

you can also see the formations and lineups people actually use within your budget range.

The filters I used were Ranked 1vs1 / Challenger / Liverpool / around 200 million BP.

​

This showed me right away which formations Liverpool users favored and which player combinations top-ranked users were using. Seeing those squads turned my vague thought of “Maybe I should build a Liverpool team” into a much clearer plan.

​

I was deciding between Juventus and Liverpool, but Liverpool looked more appealing once I factored in the new traits.

​

With so many new traits being added lately, I felt it had become increasingly important to check which traits players actually have, rather than choosing them on name recognition alone.

Why Liverpool rather than Juventus?

The main reason I chose Liverpool was that it offered good value while still letting me take advantage of the new traits.

​

The Liverpool squad I saw in the Trend Center had good team color synergy, and the lineup was more cohesive than I expected.

The combination I checked included traits that helped the attack and key players, such as the 21-22 Liverpool team color, The Red’s attacking duo, and Liverpool Ambassador.

​

Rather than feeling like I was simply collecting famous players as before, I could get a clearer sense of why each player was in the squad.

For this build, I wanted a team suitable for ranked matches that I could also use for league matches and casual games with friends.

​

With that in mind, Liverpool looked well balanced across speed, attacking buildup, player responsiveness, and the new traits.

​

I was also quite satisfied with the value for money.

Player prices seemed more affordable than before, perhaps because of the Chuseok event, so it felt like a good time to build the team.

Adding players to the watchlist in bulk was more convenient than I expected

After choosing a team, I found a squad I liked in the Trend Center and added the players I needed to my watchlist in bulk.

​

This feature was especially useful because it cut out much of the hassle of searching for each player by name, as I used to do.

​

Once I found a Liverpool squad I liked, I added all the players I needed to my watchlist at once and moved on to the transfer market.

​

In practice, the process of planning a squad → adding players to the watchlist → purchasing felt quite smooth.

People who watch a lot of football may find it easier to think of player combinations that suit their preferences. But for someone like me, who used to feel lost when building a team, this feature was a real help.

​

Thinking of it as “finding a team with players I like, then building it” made the process much easier.

I signed all 11 players, with one at a lower enhancement level

Once I finished adding players to my watchlist, I bought them directly from the transfer market.

​

In the end, I signed all 11 players, with a total purchase cost shown on screen of about 200 million BP.

​

For one position, though, I couldn’t find a card at the enhancement level I wanted, so I used a card one enhancement level lower instead.

​

This also highlighted a practical consideration.

The official guide helps you decide on a direction for your team, but putting the squad together also means accounting for current availability and market prices.

Using the official guide to build a squad in FC Online involves more than just looking at recommended players:

1. Check team colors and tiers in the Trend Center

2. Find a top user’s squad you like and use it as a reference

3. Add the players you need to your watchlist in bulk

4. Adapt the squad to your own team based on current prices and availability

Thinking of it as this sequence makes the process easier to understand.

How my final squad came together

I finished with a Liverpool squad in a 4-2-2-2 formation.

​

My main lineup is:

Ian Rush, Kenny Dalglish, Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mané, Steven Gerrard, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Andrew Robertson, Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konaté, Neco Williams, and Alisson.

After building one myself, I had a better sense of why Liverpool squads are so common.

​

The attack felt quick, while the midfield and defense felt fairly reliable in play—not just impressive on paper.

​

Most importantly, with the new traits in place, I was quite satisfied with the squad for ranked matches or casual games with friends.

​

For now, I expect to keep using this team until my next upgrade.

An approach worth trying for your first team

If you’re building your first squad in FC Online, I recommend starting with a player you like or a team color that interests you, as I did, and then opening the official guide.

​

My limited football knowledge used to make squad building feel like a major hurdle. Now, the Trend Center and player watchlist feature have made it much easier.

​

With market prices a little lower, as they are now, I also found it particularly enjoyable to build a team with players I like.

That’s all from 꽤돼.
