There's no single "best" FIFA team ever, as it depends on criteria (World Cups, overall skill, specific era), but Brazil (especially 1970 & 2002), Germany (multiple wins), Argentina (recent and historic), and Real Madrid (club dominance) are consistently ranked at the top for national and club football, with the 1970 Brazilian squad often cited as the greatest single team for their iconic style and dominance.
WC2010 is by far the best FIFA. Replaying it recently it just feels so much more balanced and skill based as it has far less exploits than other years.

The "GOAT" (Greatest Of All Time) in football is a subjective debate, but Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are overwhelmingly considered the top contenders, with Messi often edging out due with recent major wins like the 2022 World Cup, though Ronaldo's longevity and dominance in multiple leagues also make a strong case, with many legends and publications naming Messi as #1. Other historical greats like Pelé and Maradona are also part of the conversation.
Yes, 99-rated players exist in FIFA (now EA Sports FC) but are very rare, typically appearing as special promotional cards (like Team of the Year or Futties) in Ultimate Team (UT) towards the end of the game cycle, with some fans even getting full squads of them through grinding.
