Nigeria's strongest FC 27 Ultimate Team XI built from male and female stars

Chiamaka Nnadozie and Victor Osimhen lead a Nigeria-themed starting XI assembled from the player ratings in EA Sports FC 27 Ultimate Team. The squad combines stars from the Super Eagles and Super Falcons, taking advantage of the mode’s ability to place male and female footballers in the same team.

Nnadozie is the clear choice in goal after receiving an 85 overall rating, level with Osimhen as Nigeria’s highest-rated player. The Brighton goalkeeper also brings 87 pace, 88 dribbling and 84 physicality, giving the side a strong option behind the defence.

Ola Aina starts at right-back, with his 79 rating supported by 87 pace, 77 defending and 75 physicality. Calvin Bassey partners Jordan Torunarigha in central defence. Bassey is rated 78 and offers 85 physicality, while Torunarigha’s 79 pace and 81 physicality complement the Fulham defender. Werder Bremen defender Agu completes the back four on the left, preferred to Zaidu Sanusi because of his 87 pace and 76 dribbling despite both players carrying a 74 rating.

Wilfred Ndidi provides the midfield’s defensive base. His 75 overall rating includes 73 defending and 80 physicality, making him the natural player to protect the back line. Juventus midfielder Jennifer Echegini adds movement and technical quality, with an 80 rating, 76 pace and 79 dribbling.

Rasheedat Ajibade operates behind the striker after earning an 81 rating. Her 87 pace, 85 dribbling and 79 shooting give the attack another source of speed and goals. Ademola Lookman, Nigeria’s third-highest-rated player at 83, can move into a wide role despite being listed as a striker. His 86 pace, 83 shooting and 84 dribbling suit that position.

Nathan Tella takes the opposite flank, where his 90 pace makes him the quickest of the higher-rated options selected. His 80 dribbling should help him carry the ball forward, although Chidera Ejuke is an alternative for players seeking greater dribbling ability. Osimhen leads the line with an 85 rating, completing a squad whose quality is strengthened by the inclusion of Nigeria’s leading women’s players. Position changes and chemistry choices could further shape the final setup.
