9 Lautaro Martínez, Inter Milan
Lautaro Martínez had a great 2022-2023 season and played a vital role as Inter Milan reached the UEFA Champions League Final. The Argentine has been consistent over the past couple of seasons and is lethal in front of the goal whenever given an opportunity to strike.
In FIFA 23, he stands out as an ideal striker to sign, with an overall rating of 85 and a potential of 88. He has well-rounded stats with great pace, shooting, dribbling, and physical, making him a menace on the pitch.
8 Victor Osimhen, Napoli (Napoli FC in FIFA 23)
Victor Osimhen has proven himself to the footballing world, leading Napoli to the Serie A title alongside Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. He was also phenomenal in the club’s Champions League run, which ended in the Semi-Finals, and he finished with five goals in the campaign.
Getting the Nigerian for the striker role would be amazing in FIFA 23, and his sheer pace can completely deceive the defense and create goalscoring opportunities. His finishing is also excellent, and the 85-rated player can reach 88 inside the Career Mode.
7 Milan Škriniar, Inter Milan
Even though Milan Škriniar has officially been announced as a PSG player, you would find him playing for Inter Milan in the Serie A within the Career Mode. He stands as the best centre back in the league, and his expertise in the backline can help the team concede fewer goals.
Coming to the player’s rating, he has an overall of 85 and a potential of the same. However, he can easily surpass the rating with dynamic player potential, and you must play him regularly to achieve the same.
6 Theo Hernández, AC Milan
Over the past couple of FIFA games, Theo Hernández has been one of the go-to left backs to sign in the Career Mode, and the same is the case in FIFA 23. He is very good on the offense, and you may even convert him to a left wing back if you are playing a five-at-back formation.
Besides his offensive capabilities, the Frenchman is equally capable of defensive duties, and you can rely on him to stop counter-attacks. In terms of rating and potential, he has an overall of 85 and a potential of 90.
5 Wojciech Szczęsny, Juventus
Wojciech Szczęsny emerges as one of the best goalkeepers in Serie A based on the overall rating. The Polish shot-stopper can be a reliable man at the back for a couple of seasons, and you may purchase him for your side for a quick rebuild.
Although the 86-rated player might drop his overall rating soon, buying him in the initial two seasons would be worth it. Moreover, with his contract expiring in 2024, you can strike a good deal at the start of the second season.
4 Ciro Immobile, Lazio (Latium in FIFA 23)
Ciro Immobile has been the guiding light for Lazio over the past decade, and his performances for the club have helped it alleviate to the next level. They have frequently been playing European football and finishing pretty high on the table thanks to the incredible goalscoring form that the Italian has maintained.
EA has rated Ciro Immobile reasonably good, and he possesses an overall of 86, adequate for most of the teams in the first few seasons. However, his age is the only bad factor, and you can’t employ him for longer rebuilds.
3 Paulo Dybala, AS Roma (Roma FC in FIFA 23)
Paulo Dybala, who was once seen as the next Messi, finds himself at AS Roma under the reign of Jose Mourinho. Even though he couldn’t reach his peak potential, he has turned out to be an excellent player, probably one of the best that Serie A has seen in the modern days.
He has the same rating as Ciro Immobile, and the 86-rated centre forward can be best employed as an attacking midfielder. You may even use the Argentine forward as a winger, and his dribbling can help you cause problems to the opponent’s defense.
2 Sergej Milinković-Savić, Lazio (Latium in FIFA 23)
Sergej Milinković-Savić is among the many players who joined Saudi-based teams following the 2022-2023 season. Nonetheless, you can find the talented midfielder at Latium in the Career Mode as it takes place before the 2022-2023 season.
The main highlight of using him in the game is that he features a 5-star weak foot, and you can shoot well using him with either of the legs. However, you need to note that signing this 86-rated Serbian superstar for your club could cost you around €70-90 million, which could be worth it for a solid midfielder.
1 Mike Maignan, AC Milan
Mike Maignan’s solid performances for AC Milan have established him as the highest-rated Serie A player in FIFA 23. He is considered by many as the best goalkeeper in the world, and using him in the Career Mode is a common practice amongst enthusiasts.
Regarding Mike Maignan’s rating, he boasts a great number of 87, and you wouldn’t have to ever look for a better keeper throughout the rebuild. In addition, the French shot-stopper also has a default potential of 89, and you may even breach the 90 mark.
