Finding the FIFA 22 cheapest 88 rated players is vital even at this late stage in Ultimate Team, as SBC requirements have never been higher. The introduction of SBCs into FIFA meant that less-than-meta high-rated cards suddenly had more value, as their rating is vital to complete some challenges to get your hands on the best players. So, to find out what the FIFA 22 cheapest 88 rated players are, make sure to carry on reading.

FIFA 22 Cheapest 88 Rated Players: Premier League

  • Erling Haaland - 9,300 Coins
  • Raheem Sterling (Chelsea) - 9,500 Coins
  • Raheem Sterling (Manchester City) - 11,000 Coins
  • Romelu Lukaku - 12,000 Coins
  • Bruno Fernandes - 14,250 Coins
  • Bernardo Silva (CL MOTM) - 17,750 Coins

As you can see here, a few of the cheapest 88 rated cards from the Premier League are the newly transferred Haaland and Sterling, presumably due to the sheer volume of people opening high-rated packs and picks right now. Strangely, both Chelsea and Manchester City Sterling cards appear on this list, so if you're desperate for an English left winger he's definitely your pick.

  • Toni Kroos - 9,000 Coins
  • Alejandro Gómez (UEL Live) - 16,500 Coins
  • Marcos Acuña (Headliners) - 17,500 Coins
  • Luis Suárez - 21,000 Coins
  • Jules Koundé (TOTY Honourable) - 22,750 Coins

Compared to the Premier League, the prices here are quite a bit steeper, mainly due to the lack of standard 88 rated cards in the league. Therefore, you'll have to lean more towards special cards which are always going to cost that tiny bit more.

  • You might be able to pick up some of these cards for free as they are part of the FIFA 22 Pre Season players list, which you can check out right here.

FIFA 22 Cheapest 88 Rated Players: Serie A

  • Romelu Lukaku - 9,500 Coins
  • Luis Alberto (TIF) - 14,750 Coins
  • Diego Milito (Hero) - 15,000 Coins
  • Antonio Di Natale (Hero) - 17,000 Coins
  • Milan Škriniar (Signature Signings) - 18,750 Coins

 

The options for Serie A are fairly good, with even a couple of Hero cards thrown in for some extra nostalgia points. The only trouble is that quite a lot of the cheapest 88 rated cards in the league are strikers, which can be a bit more difficult for chemistry, and potentially incur extra costs in the form of position modifiers.

FIFA 22 Cheapest 88 Rated Players - Bundesliga

  • Jeremie Frimpong (Future Stars) - 12,950 Coins
  • Dominik Szoboszlai (UEL Live) - 14,750 Coins
  • Erling Haaland - 15,000 Coins
  • Leon Goretzka (IF) - 17,500 Coins
  • Mario Gomez (Hero) - 18,000 Coins

A good selection of cheap 88 rated players are from the Bundesliga, giving you a fair amount of flexibility if you're looking to complete a high-rated squad. While it doesn't quite reach the lowest baseline of some of the other leagues, it averages out with prices between 10-20,000 coins for most of the cards.

  • Keylor Navas - 8,000 Coins
  • Sergio Ramos - 9,700 Coins
  • Boubacar Kamara (UECL Live) - 14,000 Coins
  • Wissam Ben Yedder (TIF) - 17,000 Coins
  • Jean-Clair Todibo (TOTS) - 17,500 Coins

Ligue 1 is probably the best option if you're looking to finish out an 88 rated squad's defence, with a perfect link between the two cheapest cards in the league. Beyond that, the prices do ramp up a tiny bit, with Todibo being the last card below 34,000 Coins, but this is still a pretty good option for some easy strong links.

FIFA 22 Cheapest 88 Rated Players - Non Top 5 Leagues

  • Leonardo Godoy (Libertadores) - 11,000 Coins
  • Juan Patiño (Libertadores) - 11,000 Coins
  • Matt Turner (TOTS) - 12,000 Coins
  • Michael Cooper (TOTS) - 12,750 Coins
  • Yeimar Gómez Andrade (TOTS) - 12,750 Coins

These players are your best options if you're looking to just fill out a squad or bump up a rating, as they are really rather cheap. They can even give you a nice extra chemistry boost as well if you pair the Libertadores or MLS players, which is always helpful.

So that rounds off this list of the FIFA 22 cheapest 88 rated players you can get your hands on across the top five leagues and beyond. You might want to use them if you're looking to complete the FIFA 22 Campaign Bag Player Pick though, as that can be a bit on the expensive side if you're not careful.
