Fifa 21 Ultimate Team is dominated by players with in-form team of the season cards and FUT champs rewards. It is difficult even in lower divisions to find a team without an 85 rated player. However, these high-rated squads can be beaten by players with ratings in the 70s.
There are even silver players in the game that can play well against the highest-rated cards in the game. Players should not feel obligated to use the highest-rated cards in their club, as statistics and traits are more important in-game. Even legends will have trouble containing the pace, strength, and dribbling of the below silver cards.
Updated June 16, 2021 by Payton Lott: At this point in the FUT life cycle, the most satisfying feeling is outplaying all of the pay-to-win clubs. Beast FC might think they have an easy win secured when one of the 15 silvers in this list appears on the loading screen. However, they will be mistaken, as these players can take on basically anyone. These silver giants are so good, they can star for a gold side and not be out of place at all. There are plenty of silver cards that offer gold-standard quality, and this article has been expanded to include a few more players.
15 Silas Wamangituka
This card is lightning fast with five-star skills, which is deadly in silver matches. Silas Wamangituka's 83 agility makes him feel like he has better dribbling stats than he actually does. That said, 77 dribbling is not too shabby for a 70 rated silver.
While the rest of Wamangituka's stats are not that impressive, nothing beats trolling a team with a sweaty 5 star skiller, and this card is perfect for the job.
14 Hector Villalba
Villalba has been rated in the 74-76 range for a few years, with little changing stat-wise. However, the card has some surprising attributes for a silver; Villalba has 92 agility, 88 balance, and 79 dribbling as a 74 rated card.
Couple those dribbling stats with 93 pace and Villalba will frustrate defenses. He can bang shots in from deep too with 85 shot power and 74 longshots.
13 Thievy Bifouma
The FIFA midfielder is a cheap legend. His striker silver cards were notorious Beast FC additions. He will not be quite as effective as he was in the past because of his position, but Bifouma still has the stats to steal a victory.
The 29-year-old is way too fast in the game and has the jumping stats to leap out of the stadium. Bifouma's 71 strength is enough, and 92 agility will give the impression that the card has dribbling in the 80s.
12 Benito Raman
Raman is one of the best players to pick up for silver challenges. There are not many silver players with over 80 pace and dribbling. This card is special because of how well-balanced it is.
Almost all of Raman's shooting stats are in the 70s, and all of his dribbling stats are 73 and above. He will feel way faster than the base stats suggest because of his 89 agility and 89 acceleration.
11 Dominic Iorfa
Few clubs know about Iorfa because he plays in the English Championship. Those that do know of him will tell you that this guy is a silver brick wall at the back. He is 6'4" with 87 sprint speed and 84 strength.
Once this card gets moving, it can dispossess almost any attacker on the pitch. Tackling in the 70s and 79 aggression make this card better than many gold defenders in FIFA 21.
10 Jeremiah St. Juste
St. Juste has been one of the best silver defenders for several years, and players need to purchase him in Ultimate team. The card has 85 pace, 73 dribbling, 75 defending, and 73 physical. St. Juste makes up for low strength with good stamina and 90 jumping, which is incredible for a card of any rating.
Players should use standing tackle when taking on opposing players, however, as St. Juste has 67 sliding tackle. The card also has short and long passing in the 70s, which is better than average for a gold center back. St. Juste feels like a high-rated gold card in-game, and players will not be disappointed with the Dutch center back.
9 Joseph Aidoo
As a 74-rated card, Aidoo is one of the strongest players in the game. The card has 91 strength and 88 aggression, which is enough raw power to push almost any player off the ball.
Aidoo has pace in the 70s and all five of his defending stats are in the 70s. Joseph Aidoo is a rock in the back third, and good enough to dispossess the best players in Ultimate Team.
8 Murabak Wakaso
Wakaso has been both a silver and gold card in the past few Fifa titles. Every year, the card has impressive stats for his low rank. This year, Wakaso was downgraded to a 72 rated CM, but he retained many of the stats that made him an overpowered player.
Wakaso is two stats away from having all 6 base stats in the 70s. He has 86 pace and 83 physical as a center midfielder. Wakaso also has 83 agility with four defending stats in the 70s. The player has 453 total stats, which is unheard of for a player rated 75 or less. Wakaso has the most stats of any silver player and is one of the most impressive cards in the game.
7 Advincula
Similar to Wakaso, Advincula has an exorbitant number of stats for a silver player. Advincula has 90 pace and 84 physical with 83 agility. The card is great for players that like to make overlapping runs with their fullbacks.
Advincula may not have the best defensive stats, but with 81 strength and rapid pace, he will win balls on the sidelines.
6 Joel Campbell
Campbell has been in Ultimate Team since Fifa 13, and he has had a number of amazing cards over the years. While he received a considerable pace downgrade, many of his other stats remained the same. Namely, he has 84, agility, 80 shot power, and 77 strength with four-star skill moves.
Even in a rare gold squad, Campbell will make an immediate impact due to his balanced and effective in-game stats. Campbell still has 82 acceleration, which is more than enough to get past defenders.
5 Steven Zuber
Like many player cards that are approaching 30 years of age, Zuber's pace has been downgraded almost every year. However, Zuber is an extremely versatile midfielder that is good at everything, but not great at any certain aspect of the game. Zuber can pass, dribble, defend, and win headers.
All six of Zuber's stats are in the 70s, which is rare for any card in Fifa 21. Zuber will act as the engine and playmaker of the team. With 80 shot power and 79 long shots, he can challenge keepers from 40 yards out as well.
4 Adam Armstrong
Players that are not afraid to resort to sweaty tactics can have a lot of success using Armstrong up front. With 90 pace, the card is rapid and will outrun most defenders. In the final third, Armstrong has enough finishing to score goals.
Armstrong also has 87 agility, 90 balance, and 80 aggression, making the player a pest on the ball. Defenders will struggle to catch up with and dispossess the feisty striker.
3 Chanathip Songkrasin
Songkrasin is a dream card for players that love to skill. The player has 86 pace, excellent dribbling stats, and five-star skills. Players that know how to use skill moves effectively will break ankles with the crafty Taiwanese center forward.
Songkasin has 92 agility and 94 balance as a 73-rated silver card. The skillful forward is one of the best silver cards in FUT, and he will dumbfound Fifa point squads with his quickness and ball control. Players should use Songkrasin as an attacking midfielder, as his shooting attributes are quite bad.
2 Roger Assale
Assale has the pace and dribbling of a legend card. He has 90 pace, 91 agility, 89 balance, and 81 dribbling. The ball will stick to Assale's feet, and with four-star skills, he will frustrate opposing players.
Additionally, 77 finishing is very good for a silver striker and players can improve his shooting with a chemistry style.
1 Justin Kluivert
As the son of a legend, Kluivert had to be good in Ultimate Team. The speedy midfielder has 88 pace and 80 dribbling with double four-star attributes.
Kluivert is best used as a playmaker in open space with his high acceleration and amazing dribbling stats. He will let players down around the net, and his passing is not very good. However, Kluivert has the stats of a gold card, and the card performs very well in-game.
