EA’s annual soccer video games might have a brand new identify, however EA FC 24 remains to be a lot of the identical for longtime followers of the franchise. Beneath the rebranding and recent coat of paint are the identical modes, groups, and microtransactions all of us love and hate. Every season a small group of groups get 5-star rankings and a major benefit in recreation modes like Kick Off.
EA’s soccer video games don’t all the time characteristic a group’s finest line-up as its default possibility. It’s irritating and might typically result in players lacking out on having an enormous star of their squad. Whether or not they’re leaving key gamers on the bench or summer season signings within the reserves, this could have an effect on a group’s Assault, Midfield, and Protection rankings. For an genuine, up-to-date expertise I like to recommend downloading the newest squad updates through the Settings menu whenever you first boot up the sport.
For those who occur to note a participant within the fallacious place in any of the pictures on this checklist, it’s a deliberate try by this creator to suit all of a group’s finest gamers on one pitch. I haven’t accomplished something excessive however what I’ve tweaked is all in service of making an correct checklist of the highest 10 groups in EA FC 24.
10 – Paris Saint Germain
Perpetual Champions League underachievers PSG have one of the best participant on the planet, full domination over Ligue 1, and bottomless pockets of money. But as of EA FC 24, the French aspect nonetheless hasn’t obtained its palms on Europe’s high prize. Within the Summer season 2023 switch window, massive names like Lionel Messi and Neymar left the membership and because of this, PSG’s rating has taken successful. Goalkeeper Donnarumma, right-back Achraf Hakimi, and membership captain Marquinhos ought to be capable to regular the ship as an inflow of recent arrivals be a part of the membership. Any group with Kylian Mbappe in its assault is assured a shot at a title or two with the 24-year-old Frenchman one of the best EA FC 24 has to supply. At 91-rated he’s one of the best participant within the recreation and stays Paris Saint Germain’s talisman.
9 – Liverpool
My favourite soccer group Liverpool went by a whole midfield reinvention in the summertime of 2023, with the likes of membership captain Jordan Henderson and Premier League veteran James Milner departing and much-needed new blood arriving within the types of Domonik Szoboszlai, Ryan Gravenberch, and World Cup winner Alexis McCallister. These three new arrivals, together with a scary group of attackers together with Cody Gakpo and Egyptian magician Mohammed Salah, mix with a revitalized Trent Alexander-Arnold in protection to offer Liverpool with a well-balanced squad rated: 84 Assault, 82 Midfield, and 84 Protection. The Liverpool group isn’t one of the best it’s been in recent times, however has a very good basis to play thrilling, urgent soccer.
8 – Chelsea Ladies
The primary girls’s group on this checklist and whereas 2023 was a dreadful 12 months for his or her male counterparts, Emma Hayes’ group continues to battle for titles 12 months after 12 months. Chelsea Ladies had been a founding member of the Ladies’s Tremendous League in 2010 and have gained six titles since 2015, together with the 2022/23 season. They’ve a strong protection that includes Canadians Ashley Lawrence and Kadeisha Buchanan, and English Euro winners Millie Shiny and Jess Carter. In midfield, they’ve some good dribblers of the ball in Macario, Kirby, and Cuthbert. Nevertheless, it’s Chelsea’s attacking trio that sees the aspect land eighth on this checklist. Norwegian winger Guro Reiten and up-and-coming England worldwide Lauren James flank the unimaginable Australian goalscorer, Sam Kerr. At a 90 ranking she is among the many finest feminine gamers on the planet, and in EA FC 24 she tops the checklist of gamers in her place.
7 – FC Barcelona
Spanish giants Barcelona have skilled loads of ups and downs since Lionel Messi left the membership in 2021. As of EA FC 24 although it seems like supervisor Xavi has settled the ship; steering his outdated group to their first league title since 2018/19. On paper, the La Liga champions ought to make for a enjoyable aspect to play with in FC 24, with a midfield of Frenkie De Jong, Pedri, and Gavi and wingers Raphina, Ferran Torres and João Felix greater than able to taking part in engaging soccer. Lastly up entrance is former Ballon d’Or winner Robert Lewandowski, a participant who can rating from anyplace within the field with any a part of his physique.
6 – VFL Wolfsburg Ladies
Wolfsburg Ladies have been on the high of the ladies’s recreation for a very long time. They’ve gained two Champions League trophies back-to-back and completed runners-up 4 instances (together with within the 2022/23 season). Wolfsburg has topped the German Frauen-Bundesliga seven instances and gained a report ten DFB Pokal trophies, together with 9 consecutively. In FC 24 their finest gamers embrace German powerhouse Alexandra Popp, and Poland’s Ewa Pajor. A reasonably underrated striker, Pajor is Wolfsburg’s fourth-highest goalscorer (as of February 2023) and Poland’s all-time high purpose scorer. Largely made up of German gamers, with a principally all-German technical employees, Wolfsburg has not completed exterior of the highest two groups within the Frauen-Bundesliga for the reason that 2011/12 season.
5 – Actual Madrid
Whereas they didn’t win Spain’s La Liga in 2022/23, Actual Madrid is an all-around a lot stronger aspect than their El Classico rivals. Having parted methods with Ballon d’Or winner Karim Benzema within the Summer season 2023 switch window, Actual Madrid is creating one of many strongest younger groups in Europe. Their frankly unfair assortment of midfielders contains versatile French duo Tchoumeni and Camvinga, and Englishman Jude Bellingham. Bellingham particularly is among the finest younger gamers on the planet and at solely twenty years outdated he has already established himself as a very smart and skillful participant. Actual Madrid is stuffed out with a powerful set of older gamers. Veteran midfielders Luca Modric and Toni Kroos proceed to be extremely rated. In the meantime, Rudiger, Alaba, and Carvajal are reliable defenders in entrance of persistently sturdy, 90-rated goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois. If there may be something that holds Actual Madrid again although it’s their lack of a world-class striker, with 89-rated winger Vini Jr. being their most harmful attacking menace.
4 – Olympique Lyonnais Féminin
Olympique Lyonnais Féminin has been the dominant group in France for the reason that 2006/07 season and in that point has gained 14 consecutive league titles and 16 in whole. Furthermore, Lyon has additionally gained a report ten Coupe de France Féminine trophies. In contrast to the PSG males’s group which dominates home soccer in France however struggles on the European stage, Olympique Lyonnais Féminin has gained a report 8 Champions League trophies together with 5 straight titles between 2015/16 and 2019/20 — their most up-to-date coming within the 2021/22 marketing campaign.
This present Lyon group is pretty much as good as ever with Kadidiatou Diani and inaugural Ballon d’Or Féminin winner Ada Hegerberg each having an 89 ranking and primed to attain targets for enjoyable on EA FC 24. The group is defensively strong as properly with 88-rated goalkeeper Endler, and 88-rated veteran French center-back Wendie Renard. There’s additionally American midfielder Lindsey Horan, French striker Eugénie Le Sommer, and Dutch menace Daniëlle van de Donk within the midfield to regulate.
3 – Manchester Metropolis
I’m undecided what extra Manchester Metropolis has to do to be the highest-rated group in EA FC 24. Within the 2022/23 season, they turned the second English group to win the treble of the Champions League, Premier League, and FA Cup. Manchester Metropolis are a terrifying aspect and sometimes look unbeatable on the pitch. Main Pep Guardiola’s squad are Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne, each rated 91 general. Haaland broke the Premier League aside when he joined Metropolis in 2022/23 because the Norwegian robotic smashed residence 36 targets in 35 video games. In the meantime, De Bruyne has persistently been the most effective midfielders of the Premier League period, the Belgian equipped 31 assists within the 22/23 season alone. They’re strong throughout the pitch with defender Ruben Dias and midfielder Rodri each 89-rated and shot-stopper Ederson 88-rated. Likewise, English wingers Foden and Grealish (each 85-rated) can simply run rings round any Premier League protection.
2 – Bayern Munich
Bayern Munich is the one group on EA FC 24 to have a stat over 90. Their stats of 90 Assault, 85 Midfield, and 83 protection come courtesy of a powerful, well-rounded squad. A minimum of on paper. Bayern Munich solely gained the Bundesliga on purpose distinction within the 2022/23 season after a tumultuous 12 months of supervisor ins and outs, nonetheless the German aspect has gained 11 consecutive titles as of FC 24 and added superb gamers over the summer season. Oppositions ought to have a troublesome time breaking by a defensive pairing of Matthijs De Ligt and Kim Min Jae, however must also watch out they don’t get caught out on the counterattack because the likes of Sané and Coman present loads of pace and width to Bayern’s play. Lastly, there may be England and Tottenham Hotspurs’ all-time high purpose scorer Harry Kane who, having lastly escaped the clutches of the Spurs, ought to simply be capable to switch his common 30-goal-a-season tally to the Bundesliga.
1 – FC Barcelona Fémeni
Barcelona Fémeni appears to interrupt their attendance information each week and for good purpose. They’re essentially the most profitable membership in Spanish soccer having gained eight Liga F titles, nineteen home cups, and two Champions League trophies. Barcelona Fémeni enter EA FC 24 as reigning Liga F and Champions League holders and have an unimaginable squad with three 90+ rated gamers. With a 91 ranking, Alexia Putellas is one of the best feminine participant in EA FC 24 and second solely to Mbappe general. Her fellow central midfielder Bonmati and Norwegian winger Caroline Graham Hansen are each rated 90 and the squad is filled with gamers from Spain’s 2023 World Cup-winning squad.
