Which Fitness Team to Keep?

Would have loved to make this a poll, but I guess that's not an option. With icon swaps over, there’s no need to keep first owner teams for each major league. I need some help deciding which of these fitness team I should keep. A few things to note:
1. La Liga
Pros: This one is my personal favorite. Rodrigo is amazing. Semedo and Ramos are great for a fitness squad. 90 Umtiti would fit in perfectly, as would Moments Hazard
Cons: Gomez and Vidal are a little weak as CDM's (though I could loop 88 Koeman in and get moments Vidal)
2. EPL
Pros: James is obviously broken, and Trossard is very good. I really like the Ox/Kovacic pairing as well.
Cons: 94 KDB is so clunky. Even if I keep this team, he probably won't be in it. I'm not in love with Mahrez or Mane either, and Laporte is awful.
3. Bundes
Pros: I enjoy the striker partnership, and my fullbacks are very solid. Moments Goretzka and Boateng would plug right in.
Cons: Strongly dislike Perisic, and my midfield and CB's are lacking
4. Serie A
Pros: Belotti is so so so good, and Tonali is obviously broken in a good way. Politano is obviously amazing as well. I also have solid SBC options with Dalbert and Sandro
Cons: Left CAM and my other striker are obviously lacking
5. Ligue 1
Pros: This team's defense is phenomenal.
Cons: The attack leaves something to be desired, though Ben Yedder and Osimhen have their moments.
6. France
Pros: Team is very solid all around
Cons: Laporte sucks. CAM's are a bit slow for my liking. Need a keeper.
7. Other/Hybrid
This one is on you. Do you see another squad I could be building? If so, feel free to show me. Here are some of the other untradeable players I have in the club:
88 Nesta
88 Koeman
86 Roberto Carlos
85 Blanc
90 Ziyech (LOVE this card. Would love to fit him in a squad)
89 Jo
88 Toney
87 Bartra
86 (futmas) Cazorla
86 Orsic
I appreciate any and all feedback!
- My goal is to have one fitness team, completely untradeable, built to be the best it can possibly be
- I'll submit the players from my other squads into SBC's towards bettering my selected fitness squad. Feel free to offer suggestions on ways to improve
- My preferred formation is 4222, though I'm open to using others if necessary.
- I'm open to hybrids, such as replacing one player in a squad with an icon who doesn't make my main team
- I'll offer some pros and cons for each of the teams, based on my experience using them thus far.
- I don't have a TON of coins that I can sink into improving my choice, so some SBC's (such as Hazard) may not be viable options if the cards in my club won't get most of them done.

I'm certainly open to other people's ideas/suggestions though! Figured it would be fun to see what people think and come up with.
Used the word “hybrid” at least twice in the original post, mate. Not sure what the point of this comment was, but I’m open to any good hybrid suggestions you have.
Sorry, missed that part.
I’d work around Ramos Semedo Rodrigo one side and Alisson Mane De Bruyne the other. Putting players into moments Vidal to link to Semedo would be high on the list also.
Then just hope for courtois in the gaurenteed community
Thanks! Honestly, I think my ideal hybrid is to combine the Serie A trio (Belotti, Tonali, Politano) with the BBVA SQUAD. It would be much easier if Politano was on the left.
I can't just get poli to work for me(have the 87 atm) otherwise I'd do the same thing, I just drift inside with him constantly and close my own spaces off
Planning on getting the 91 tonali in the next couple weeks, the 84 is great as is but the boosts across the board should make the 91 exemplary as either a crretive dm or pure defensive.
Shame you never packed fb munain as he'd be great on the other side
Honestly, I could be okay with losing Politano, but he just seems necessary to maintain chem for Belotti and Tonali, who I really want to keep.
My ideal striker partnership is Rodrigo and Belotti. Really want Tonali in the midfield. And really want Semedo and Ramos in the back line. Lenglet probably needs to stay as well to hold Umtiti's place. Outside of that, I'm open, but that's a tough hybrid to build.
Belotti and Rodrigo sounds a great partnership tbf, belotti is so good as a Poacher type striker, a everything goes in inside 18 yards, so glad I picked him over Fred as I was unsure on going serie a or epl at the time
I'm gonna be using lasagna FB alongside him next weekend for the 2 5* WF effect
Could you not do something involving koeman and ziyech in a 433 (3) using Carlos for chem?
You'd have players on 7 but get in everyone you want

Edit, koeman isn't needed, any BBVA barca/real or Brazilian cb will work
Maybe, but I can't picture what you're thinking. Are you saying start in 433(3) or have that be the final formation? No idea where Ziyech fits in, as he doesn't get chem with anyone except icons, really. I'd love to use him, if I can, though.
Here's the best I've come up with so far, just playing around with it off and on between work emails. I'd switch it to 4222 in game. Don't love Nesta, but he's good for linking the Italians in. Also not crazy about Gomez or Correa, but that's where I am right now:
Only caveat is Roberto Carlos becomes nessecary to get ziyech on 8 chem, but I've used worse teams and had success and I know you're more than capable so it shouldn't be an issue
Hmm that's very solid. Would love Ziyech at wide CAM and, and Odegaard wouldn't be bad out there either. I do wonder if we should be planning these squads with additions from existing SBC's though. The whole point of picking one squad is to free up fodder for additional players. I know more SBC's are coming, but it seems like it makes sense to look at the existing players as well.
It's rough because we have no idea what's coming up, for all you know you could pack tots Kalvin red thurs and that would change your outlook completely.
If I was you I wouldn't look at putting any of the cards into sbcs until futties if you wanna run hybrids cuz links
So yeh for ease of use you'd probably be better off going one league, for fun, I'd go with the above
I think this at least clears me up to submit the players in my other squads, like Bundes and Ligue 1. I may start crafting some of the non expiring SBC's to see who I can actually get with my fodder. If I can complete some of the better ones, like Hazard, that may change things. I probably won't submit players like Tonali or Belotti anyway, even if I can't fit them, just because I enjoy using them so much.
I won't submit tonali even if I buy the FS, he's not worth anything for fodder and I'll find a use somewhere, even if just as a sub if and when I move away from serie a, belotti will be at least on the bench for the cycle now, he's just too clinical
Do you you use the fitness team purely for saving coins on fitness cards?
Or as an alternative to your main team?
I've seen your main is stacked with icons, if that was my team I would just buy a couple hundred fitness cards and not bother rotating.
I'd save all that fodder for a prime icon pack that's surely to come...
It’s definitely not to save on squad fitness cards. I’ve never even come remotely close to running low on those.
Up until this point in the game, I’ve kept these fitness teams to make completing icon swaps and other objectives a little bit less obnoxious and time consuming. They’ve also turned into a sort of “collection” which is also fun. But with no real use for them anymore, I’m open to submitting them into SBC’s
I probably would have done it sooner, too, but none of the SBC players have been good enough to make my main team. So the only SBC’s I can do that are worthwhile are ones that add to my fitness team(s).
I’m not the type of person who does the random icon packs. Too much of a risk of getting something terrible, and I know I’d be so angry if I submitted all my fodder just to get a bunch of garbage, unusable cards.
With all that considered, sounds like an SBC but I can't really see many players improving your main team.
You could probably squeeze 2 or 3 prime icon packs when it gets released, maybe by that time you'll think it's worth the gamble😈
