The Best Team For Every Position In Madden 23 Face of the Franchise


This year, Madden 23 Face of the Franchise is under a lot of pressure to perform, but a flurry of Career Mode improvements are available to help. One of the improvements is to add a new position: Cornerback. This will be the hardest position to master in the game mode but also one of the most rewarding. However, if you're looking to level up quickly, picking a location with major Rep bonuses is best, as this will help you level up your position and pursue the 99 Club. So in this guide, we're going to break it down here according to each of the five Face of the Franchise positions.

Face of the Franchise now has five playable positions available: cornerback, wide receiver, halfback, linebacker, and quarterback.


Best Quarterback Team in Face of the Franchise

The favorite of most players for obvious reasons, the quarterback is one of the fastest positions to level up because some teams have truly dire need of a good QB. If you want the best chance of starting right away in addition to the top valued offers, you'll want to choose from these teams:

  • Indianapolis Colts
  • Minnesota Vikings (BEST)


Of these two, the Indianapolis Colts have the highest Team Overall, but the Vikings have the higher Offense Rating among them. Being in Vikings also means you'll have both a running back (Dalvin Cook) and wide receiver (Justin Jefferson) with Superstar X-Factor abilities.

Best Wide Receiver Team in Face of the Franchise

Choosing a team can feel most difficult at wide receiver because that position need is very similar across all teams. With a combination of the best contract terms at WR and a good quarterback that's delivering the ball to you, here are the top options for a wideout:

  • Baltimore Ravens
  • Green Bay Packers
  • Kansas City Chiefs (BEST)


All three teams offer top-notch QBs and a C or C- in position need, but only the Chiefs and Ravens show a scheme fit. Of these, we suggest the Chiefs because it offers both a scheme fit and a top three QB in Patrick Mahomes.

Best Halfback (Running Back) Team in Face of the Franchise

With a good running back can be foundational for even a struggling team, and you're likely to be a workhorse as one in FOTF. With the potential value of good run blocking on the line in mind, here are the top options for your RB (HB) in Madden 23:

  • Houston Texans
  • New York Jets
  • San Francisco 49ers (BEST)


This is challenging, as the Texans have the most position need and scheme fit but simultaneously have one of the worst offenses in the league. The Jets have a similarly struggling team and solid positional need, but they've got better run blocking on the line than the Texans. The best of all worlds is gonna be the San Francisco 49ers who have the top-tier contract bonuses available along with 99 Club member Trent Williams at left tackle with the best run blocking for a lineman in Madden 23. He is also an indispensable main player in the MUT mode. So if you want to get him, please prepare some mut 23 coins in advance!

Best Linebacker Team in Face of the Franchise


Having extra help on defense can make a big difference, so keep in mind that some of the teams with less enticing offers may be easier to play in at linebacker. However, there are three teams with top-notch bonuses and one is a definite winner for your LB:

  • Chicago Bears
  • Houston Texans
  • Carolina Panthers (BEST)


All three teams have equal position needs, but only the Panthers and Bears show a scheme fit at linebacker. The Carolina Panthers have higher team ratings on both offense and defense, making them the best of both worlds here.

Best Cornerback Team in Face of the Franchise

Lastly, we have the ball hawks at cornerback, and several teams balance out by offering solid bonuses for this position.

  • Washington Commanders
  • Pittsburgh Steelers (BEST)


Going with the Washington Commanders has decent position need and scheme fit, but they're middle of the road on overall defense rating. The sweet spot at CB will be the Steelers, as you'll have solid C- position need, scheme fit, and be ready to go with the fourth-best defense in Madden 23.
