EA’s annual soccer video games could have a brand new title, however EA FC 24 continues to be a lot of the identical for longtime followers of the franchise. Underneath the rebranding and contemporary coat of paint are the identical modes, groups, and microtransactions all of us love and hate. Each season a small group of groups get 5-star rankings and a big benefit in sport modes like Kick Off and Seasons.
EA’s soccer video games don’t all the time characteristic a crew’s greatest line-up as its default choice. It’s irritating and might typically result in avid gamers lacking out on having an enormous star in their squad. Whether they’re leaving key gamers on the bench or summer season signings in the reserves, this may have an effect on a crew’s Attack, Midfield, and Defense rankings. For an genuine, up-to-date expertise I like to recommend downloading the newest squad updates through the Settings menu once you first boot up the sport.
If you occur to note a participant in the improper place in any of the photographs in this listing, it’s a deliberate try by this writer to suit all of a crew’s greatest gamers on one pitch. I haven’t accomplished something excessive however what I’ve tweaked is all in service of making an correct listing of the highest 10 groups in EA FC 24.
10 – Paris Saint Germain
Perpetual Champions League underachievers PSG have the very best participant in the world, full domination over Ligue 1, and bottomless pockets of money. Yet as of EA FC 24, the French facet nonetheless hasn’t obtained its fingers on Europe’s high prize.
In the summer season 2023 switch window, massive names like Lionel Messi and Neymar left the membership and in consequence, PSG’s rating has taken a success. Goalkeeper Donnarumma, right-back Achraf Hakimi, and membership captain Marquinhos ought to be capable of regular the ship as an inflow of latest arrivals be a part of the membership.
Any crew with Kylian Mbappe in its assault is assured a shot at a title or two with the 24-year-old Frenchman the very best participant EA FC 24 has to supply. At 91-rated he’s the very best participant in the sport and stays Paris Saint Germain’s talisman.
9 – Liverpool
My favourite soccer crew, Liverpool went by way of a whole midfield reinvention in the summer season of 2023. The likes of membership captain Jordan Henderson and Premier League veteran James Milner departed, and much-needed new blood arrived in the types of Domonik Szoboszlai, Ryan Gravenberch, and World Cup winner Alexis Mac Allister.
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 Attack, 82 Midfield, and 84 Defense. The Liverpool crew isn’t the very best it’s been in current years, however has an excellent basis to play thrilling, urgent soccer.
8 – Chelsea Women
The first girls’s crew on this listing, and whereas 2023 was a dreadful 12 months for his or her male counterparts, Emma Hayes’ crew continues to battle for titles 12 months after 12 months. Chelsea Women have been a founding member of the Women’s Super League in 2010 and have gained six titles since 2015, together with the 2022/23 season.
They have a stable protection that includes Canadians Ashley Lawrence and Kadeisha Buchanan, and English Euro winners Millie Bright and Jess Carter. In midfield, they’ve some good dribblers on the ball in Macario, Kirby, and Cuthbert. However, it’s Chelsea’s attacking trio that sees the facet land eighth on this listing. Norwegian winger Guro Reiten and up-and-coming England worldwide Lauren James flank the unbelievable Australian goalscorer, Sam Kerr. At a 90 score she is among the many greatest feminine gamers in the world, and in EA FC 24 she tops the listing 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 to be like supervisor Xavi has settled the ship; steering his previous crew to their first league title since 2018/19. On paper, the La Liga champions ought to make for a enjoyable facet 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 enjoying engaging soccer.
Finally up entrance is former Ballon d’Or winner Robert Lewandowski, a participant who can rating from anyplace in the field with any a part of his physique.
6 – VFL Wolfsburg Women
Wolfsburg Women have been on the high of the ladies’s sport for a very long time. They have gained two Champions League trophies back-to-back and completed runners-up 4 instances (together with in the 2022/23 season). Wolfsburg has topped the German Frauen-Bundesliga seven instances and gained a document ten DFB Pokal trophies, together with 9 consecutively.
In FC 24 their greatest gamers embody 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 objective scorer. Mostly made up of German gamers, with a principally all-German technical workers, Wolfsburg has not completed exterior of the highest two groups in the Frauen-Bundesliga because the 2011/12 season.
5 – Real Madrid
While they didn’t win Spain’s La Liga in 2022/23, Real Madrid is an all-around a lot stronger facet than their El Classico rivals. Having parted methods with Ballon d’Or winner Karim Benzema in the summer season 2023 switch window, Real Madrid is creating one of many strongest younger groups in Europe.
Their frankly unfair assortment of midfielders consists of versatile French duo Tchoumeni and Camavinga, and Englishman Jude Bellingham. Bellingham particularly is without doubt one of the greatest younger gamers in the world and at solely twenty years previous he has already established himself as a extremely smart and skillful participant.
Real Madrid is stuffed out with an equally sturdy set of older gamers. Veteran midfielders Luca Modric and Toni Kroos proceed to be extremely rated. Meanwhile, Rudiger, Alaba, and Carvajal are reliable defenders in entrance of persistently sturdy, 90-rated goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois. If there’s something that holds Real Madrid again, although, it’s their lack of a world-class striker, with 89-rated winger Vini Jr. being their most harmful attacking risk.
4 – Olympique Lyonnais Féminin
Olympique Lyonnais Féminin has been the dominant crew in France because the 2006/07 season and in that point has gained 14 consecutive league titles and 16 in complete. Moreover, Lyon has additionally gained a document ten Coupe de France Féminine trophies. Unlike the PSG males’s crew, which dominates home soccer in France however struggles on the European stage, Olympique Lyonnais Féminin has gained a document 8 Champions League trophies together with 5 straight titles between 2015/16 and 2019/20 — their most up-to-date coming in the 2021/22 marketing campaign.
This present Lyon crew is pretty much as good as ever, with Kadidiatou Diani and inaugural Ballon d’Or Féminin winner Ada Hegerberg each having an 89 score and primed to attain targets for enjoyable on EA FC 24. The crew is defensively stable 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 risk Daniëlle van de Donk in the midfield to regulate.
3 – Manchester City
I’m undecided what extra Manchester City has to do to be the highest-rated crew in EA FC 24. In the 2022/23 season, they grew to become the second English crew to win the treble of the Champions League, Premier League, and FA Cup. Manchester City are a terrifying facet and sometimes look unbeatable on the pitch.
Leading Pep Guardiola’s squad are Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne, each rated 91 general. Haaland broke the Premier League aside when he joined City in 2022/23 because the Norwegian robotic smashed dwelling 36 targets in 35 video games. Meanwhile, De Bruyne has persistently been among the best midfielders of the Premier League period, the Belgian equipped 31 assists in the 22/23 season alone.
They are stable 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 crew on EA FC 24 to have a stat over 90. Their stats of 90 Attack, 85 Midfield, and 83 Defense come courtesy of a robust, well-rounded squad. At least on paper.
Bayern Munich solely gained the Bundesliga on objective distinction in the 2022/23 season after a tumultuous 12 months of supervisor ins and outs, nevertheless the German facet has gained 11 consecutive titles as of FC 24 and added superb gamers over the summer season. Oppositions ought to have a tricky time breaking by way of 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.
Finally, there’s England and Tottenham Hotspur’s all-time high objective scorer Harry Kane who, having lastly escaped the clutches of Spurs, ought to simply be capable of 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 cause. They are probably 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 unbelievable squad with three 90+ rated gamers.
With a 91 score, Alexia Putellas is the very 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 stuffed with gamers from Spain’s 2023 World Cup-winning squad.
I gained’t lie, earlier than launch I used to be sure that Manchester City’s 2022/23 treble winners could be the highest-rated crew in EA FC 24. However, with the elevated and well-earned illustration of girls’s groups in EA’s newest title, FC Barcelona Fémeni are deservingly the very best crew in EA FC 24. For extra on EA FC 24 take a look at a number of the guides under.
