There are a lot of great National Teams in Fifa 21. Here's a look at the absolute best, ranked.

Fifa 21 is still one of the most popular offline multiplayer games on the market. Many gamers prefer to play with national teams over clubs in competitive offline matches. Whether gamers actively choose or use the randomized method, they will want to use one of the best national teams in the game.

Players need to remember that real-life success and performance does not equate to effectiveness in Fifa 21. Statistics and attributes matter in-game, and slow players do not perform well in Fifa 21. Gamers that want to "Brazil" their friends should use one of the teams at the bottom of this list.

10 Brazil

Brazil has one of the best talent pools in the world. It is no coincidence that the Brazilian national team is almost always in the top five before each world cup. Sadly, due to licensing purposes, players will not be able to use the national team starters in Fifa 21. Brazil is not a very good team this year in Fifa as a result.

9 Germany

Germany has a lot of young talent that has yet to have success on the international stage. A number of German legends have retired from the National team, allowing rising stars to take over. While the national team has a handful of high-rated cards, they do not mesh well in-game.

8 Spain

As they always do, Spain has put together a solid squad in 2021. The Spanish national team has a lot of good players, but few that are great. The collection of players are not very impressive in-game.

Apart from Adama, most of the Spanish attackers have pace in the low 80s, which will not be enough to blow by defenders. Gamers have much better options below.

7 Netherlands

Holland has a very good collection of future stars. The team is lead by Wijnaldum, Depay, and van Dijk, who are all incredible players for their respective clubs. Promes, Bergwijn, and van de Beek are all great players that can be subbed into the team as well. Gamers can choose between six excellent center backs and seven elite attackers. Sadly, there is only one viable fullback on the team, and players will probably have to choose a formation with three at the back.

6 Argentina

The Argentinian national team has one of the best attacking lineups of any nation. The team features Dybala, Aguero, and Messi up front. Di Maria, Martinez, and Gomez are all bench players despite being stars in their club leagues. Argentina's stellar attack is once again tied down by its sub-par midfield and defense. Otamendi and Quarta are quite slow, and the team's defense will break down at times. Even with the team's weak defense, Argentina is one of the best national teams in the world.

5 Italy

Italy's national team is very balanced in Fifa 21. Immobile, Insigne, and Chiesa are top-tier attackers up front. Italy also has a host of midfielders, all of which are viable in the starting lineup. Similar to Argentina, Italy's center backs are a little slow in-game. Chiellini makes up for slow pace with strength, but Bonnuci can let the team down in the final third. Gamers can sub on Romagnoli, who has 70 pace to replace Bonnuci.

4 England

Kane is the captain of the star-studded England team in 2021. Sterling, Rashford, and Sancho round out the team's attack. England's defense has some bright spots as well with Gomez, Trippier, and Walker providing both skill and experience.

In Fifa, England's attack and midfield will dominate most nations with pace, creativity, and balance. However, the speedy English attackers are all on the weaker side. The national teams below slightly edge out England.

3 Portugal

Portugal's national team has improved vastly over the last decade. Lead by Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal won UEFA Euro 2016 and UEFA Nations League in 2019. In Fifa 21, Portugal has a host of top-tier players in their squad. Ronaldo, Jota, Fernandez, and Silva are all available to gamers this year. While Danilo and Pepe are sluggish in defense, they have good defensive attributes. Portugal would fall lower on the list, but they have Ronaldo. The 36-year-old striker will take over matches all by himself, and for that reason, Portugal is third on this list.

2 Belgium

The deadly trio of Hazard, Lukaku, and Mertens is a nightmare to stop in-game. Belgium also has the duo of De Bruyne and Witsel to support the attack. The Belgian defense is quite good as well, with Denayer and Meunier as standouts in-game. Gamers should play three at the back with Boyata, Denayer, and Meunier. Belgium has elite players at every position, and will always be a formidable opponent in Fifa 21.

1 France

France is the undisputable best national team to use in Fifa 21. The team has incredible pace across the board and no player in the starting lineup is below 83 rated. Mbappe, Martial, and Ben Yedder will give any defenders in the game headaches. Likewise, Kante and Pogba are two of the most dominant midfielders in the game. In defense, Hernandez and Mendy are rapid and can dribble. Varane and Lenglet are both top five defenders in their leagues as well. France has a number of solid substitutions too, including Coman, Tolisso, Digne, Kimpembe, Rabiot, and Thuram. Each of France's subs would be starting for any other national team in the world. There is no other national team in Fifa with as much depth and skill at every position.
