FIFA 23: The Best Out Of Position Players In Ultimate Team

New in FIFA 23 Out Of Position is the latest promotion for Ultimate Team offering star names for players to add to their squads. The promotion brings new positions for selected players with updated stats, as well as changes for preferred foot, weak foot stats, and an updated skill move rating out of five. New stars are being released in packs across the yearly FIFA cycle, but players can also pick them up via Squad Building Challenges and Objectives.

The highest-rated player is Mohamed Salah whose new Out Of Position card is 92 rated, but more importantly, now is a striker. The Egyptian’s normal card is rated 90 but by being a right winger Salah only fits into some of the best formations in FIFA 23. All of the Liverpool star’s major six stats have been upgraded, including having 92 pace and 91 shooting before even adding a chemistry style. As a major upgrade, the card is currently by far the most expensive on the transfer market from this promotion.

Same Premier League Stars Different Positions

Premier League stars again feature heavily in the promotion, with several players having major position changes that make them a lot more desirable. Chelsea and England right-back Reece James’ new card can now play right midfield, right-wing, or even as a striker, which given his pace could prove useful for lots of Ultimate Teams. Many of the highest-rated Premier League players in FIFA 23 now have promotional cards available including Joao Cancelo. The Manchester City defender’s Out Of Position card is vastly different from his base version being able to play as a central midfielder, defensive midfielder, or even a right wing-back. However, it is Ivan Perisic whose card is the most interesting, with four options available after using a positional change card. The Spurs midfielder can be switched to play as a right midfielder or winger, but also as a right back and an attacking midfielder. Perisic is another card with incredible pace and stats that match up against many of the other defenders in FIFA 23 making him a great alternative option for Premier League teams at right back.

Away from the English top tier Federico Chiesa is a great choice to have for any Ultimate Teams based around Serie A. Chiesa is one of the fastest players in FIFA 23 and this promotional card has a pace stat of 93 with the Juventus man being an all-around solid card and a great option for those looking to get an Out of Position player cheap. While others require luck to pick them up in packs or by spending a lot of coins on the transfer market, the Italian is available as a Squad Building Challenge with low requirements. The card is an upgrade from an 84 rating to 87 and has seen Chiesa switch to a right-winger position. Englishman Ross Barkley who now plies his trade in France with Nice is also available to be picked up with an SBC.

Like in the previous promotion, Rulebreakers, most of the cards are useable in certain setups. Several players have had radical position changes including speedy defenders Theo Hernandez from AC Milan and Isaak Toure of Marseille who both can now play as strikers. In FIFA 23 players can also be earned by completing objectives in-game. Callum Hudson-Odoi and Samuel Chukwueze are both currently available via objectives with the on-loan Chelsea man another whose stats translate to being a solid defender.

Out Of Position cards are a welcome addition to Ultimate Team and players can expect to see more released throughout the year. It opens up possibilities for some of the best players in the world to be able to play in different positions alongside the new chemistry system in FIFA 23. Once again, it is the Premier League stars who lead the way as the best Out Of Position players available in FIFA 23 with Salah a game-changing card.
