The Volta mode introduced in FIFA 20 has proven to be a breath of fresh air for players tired of the constant grind of the Ultimate Team or who want a different experience than the traditional professional football setting the franchise is known for. Reminiscent of the PS2 era FIFA Street cult classics, FIFA Volta's street soccer mechanics are executed to near perfection.

Whether playing competitively online or locally with friends, players will make the most out of their time with Volta if they take some time to get to know their preferred teams. Playing to the best footballers' strengths can greatly improve one's output on the field, especially in the fiercely competitive online game modes.

10 Paul Pogba

With 85-rated dribbling and a passing rating of 86, the Frenchman has the right combination of skills to quickly get the ball across from one end of the pitch to another, which is crucial in the fast-paced Volta matches.

These are not the only ones of Pogba's positive traits. An 81 shooting rating ensures close-range accuracy and the five-star skill moves make him a deadly weapon in the hands of experienced FIFA players who know their way around the analog sticks.

9 Kylian Mbappe

In real life, Kylian Mbappe is one of the most talented and sought-after players in the entire world. According to Transfermarkt, a leading soccer news site, he's estimated to be worth around 194 million dollars!

Things aren't all that different in FIFA. With a 90 overall rating, Mbappe is one of the best players in the entire game. He's also exceptionally good for Volta. With 91-rated dribbling and a pace rating of 96, he can plow through opposition in a matter of seconds!

8 Aaron Wan-Bissaka

Defense is definitely not the focus of Volta. However, they're a required part of the majority of the team formations in this game mode. This is why it's important to pick defenders who are quick on their feet and can dribble the ball with relative ease.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka definitely checks all of those boxes. With 86 pace and four-star skill moves, he is a defensive player that won't only keep the players' penalty box safe and sound but can also help move the ball up the field quite easily.

7 Kevin De Bruyne

Manchester City's star player needs no introduction. De Bruyne's the key element of Pep Guardiola's winning machine, and his abilities in FIFA 21 reflect his achievements on the field.

At 91 overall, he is the highest-rated midfielder in the game. His 93-rated passing ability allows players to work some serious magic on the field, and with a shooting rating of 86, they should be able to score some screamers, as well.

6 Trent Alexander-Arnold

Another defender, Trent Alexander-Arnold is one of those players who could cover many different positions due to the sheer diversity of his skillset. Although he maintains a steady 80 rating in three of the major categories, his main strength is passing.

Rated at 87 in FIFA 21, Trent's passes aren't worse than those of some of the best midfielders in the game. He even outclasses Paul Pogba in that category. While he may not be as well-rounded as the French star, Alexander-Arnold is quite possibly the best defender players can use in Volta, if what they're after is speed and accuracy in carrying out deadly counter-attacks.

5 Lionel Messi

Players like Lionel Messi don't come around too often. At 93 overall, he is the single highest-rated player in the entire game. Of course, overall ratings don't tell the whole story. Nevertheless, Messi's spot in the group of the best players to use in Volta is definitely well-deserved.

With 95 dribbling, 91 passing, and 92 shooting ratings, it wouldn't be too far-fetched to say that a team composed of only Messi and four mannequins would be a formidable force to play against. Using Messi is as close to using cheat codes as one can get in FIFA 21. 

4 Cristiano Ronaldo

The Juventus main man has plenty of honors to his name, and he's come across each one of them through hard work and dedication. Rated at 92 overall, Ronaldo's strongest attribute is shooting. With a whopping rating of 93, players can surprise their opponents with powerful attempts even from the halfway line!

Ronaldo can also dribble very well. In fact, his dribbling is rated at as much as 89, but due to his physicality, he is more of a tank-type footballer rather than the slick, fast dribblers like Messi or Neymar.

3 Jadon Sancho

91-rated dribbling and five-star skill moves are all players need to know about Jadon Sancho to seriously consider picking his club, Borussia Dortmund, for their next Volta game. This young English star is on the radar of some of the biggest clubs in the world, and once they use him in a few five-a-side matches, FIFA fans will know exactly why he is given so much attention.

Sancho can single-handedly run rings around the opposition players and get in a comfortable shooting position, and while his shots are only rated at 74, it's more than enough to get the ball past the keeper at close range.

2 Virgil Van Dijk

He may have missed the majority of the 2020/21 season due to a particularly nasty knee ligament injury, but that doesn't exclude Virgil Van Dijk from being one of the most formidable defenders in FIFA 21, with the Volta mode in particular.

Players might not find much use for him when it comes to attacking, but with a 91 defending stat and 86-rated physicality, Van Dijk can be considered a truly insurmountable obstacle. He is capable of stopping top dribblers like Messi or Sancho in their tracks.

1 Neymar

The Brazilian superstar is well-known for his off-the-pitch antics, but they shouldn't distract anyone from his soccer skills. With his 94 dribbling and 91 pace statistics, Neymar can prove to be an asset that is even more useful in Volta than Lionel Messi, who is statistically the best player in FIFA 21. 

Neymar's blistering pace combined with mind-boggling five-star skill moves is no joke, especially considering the fact that he's part of Paris Saint-Germain's squad with Kylian Mbappe as his teammate. Having these two players up front is as close to a guarantee of goals as it can get in FIFA.
