5. Juventus F.C.
I debated this last spot for a while, thinking any of PSG, Dortmund or Chelsea (I know, I know but the squad is solid!) could be argued here. Ultimately, the two-time running Italian champions, with a third title looking pretty much set, deserve the final spot. There aren't really any weaknesses here and in FIFA 14, their players are all quite good. There used to be a striker problem in Turin, but the acquisitions of Fernando Llorente and Carlos Tevez fixed that as both are very good. Gianluigi Buffon has indisputably been a top two goalkeeper for more than a decade, with four Serie A titles and a World Cup win with Italy under his belt. He's older now, but makes some ridiculous saves in FIFA and won't disappoint you if your defense skills fail.
The rest of the team is great, with a mix of youth and experience exemplified perfectly by midfield duo Paul Pogba and Andrea Pirlo. They're a little light out wide, but have serviceable options with good playmaking and defensive central midfielders, and very strong centerbacks, particularly Chiellini. Juventus is a good bet to use as an all-around team, but it's of course up to you to play well!
Those are my rankings, and though they're far from definitive, I think they're fair and hope you'll agree. Check back for more FIFA-related content from me in the future.
