EA FC 24: 10 Best Skill Moves, Ranked
From the humble Heel Flick to the elaborate Advanced Rainbow Flick, we’ve ranked the best Skill Moves in EA FC 24.
ForEA Sports FC 24players, this is an important time of the year as the game’s Team of the Season will soon be announced, featuring the world’s best players throughout the current season with some exceptional stats. For most players, the TOTS version will likely be the highest-rated card they have ever received on EA Sports FC 24. But before saving coins for that, there are still some great opportunities to get players who can shine in your squad as young stars.
EA Sports FC 24
Florian Wirtz
Transfer Market Value: 4,000 - 90,000 Coins
The German midfielder already had a great season last year, but with Bayer Leverkusen pushing so hard for the Bundesliga championship this season, Florian Wirtz has shown the best of himself to the world throughout this season, and getting a multitude of cards on EA Sports FC 24 is a good sign of that brilliant performance.
Currently, the Ultimate Dynasty is the highest-rated variant of Florian Wirtz. Being one of the key players in Leverkusen’s eye-catching success over the current season with 14 Goals and 18 Assists, his chance of appearing among TOTS cards should not be ignored at all.
Nathan Tella
Transfer Market Value: 1,000 - 70,000 Coins
Tella is just another young gem from Bayer Leverkusen’s magnificent squad for the current season. While he is unlikely to appear in the Bundesliga TOTS, he already has a chance to boost his overall rating all the way up to 91, which makes him stand even higher than Wirtz, based on the existing cards. Nathan Tella does have a Road to the Finals card in EA Sports FC 24, which has already received two upgrades, thanks to Leverkusen’s solid performance in the UEFA Europa League.
Now, regarding the fact that Leverkusen managed to beat West Ham by two goals in the first leg of the quarter-finals, they have a high chance of qualifying for the next stage, which will boost Tella’s overall by 1, helping him to reach 90. Now, if Leverkusen manages to win the UEFA Europa League, Tella will receive an additional Playstyle along with hitting an overall rating of 91. Regarding the fact that Leverkusen has been unbeaten for the entirety of the current season, this seems like a safe bet!
Josko Gvardiol
Transfer Market Value: 1,000 - 600,000 Coins
The young Croatiandefenderrose to fame after his excellent performance in World Cup 2022, which resulted in him joining Manchester City only a year later. Hopefully, Gvardiol started to grow even more in his new club, and if you have been following his performance over the last few games, you already know how impactful he’s been for Pep.
EA FC 24: How To Change Commentators
Sick of hearing the same voices in FC 24? Here’s how to change the commentators.
Scoring two goals against Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League and Luton Town in the Premier League easily qualifies him for getting a TOTW card pretty soon. But other than that, Gvardiol already has a Road to the Finals card, and if Manchester City manages to beat Real Madrid in the second leg, the defender will receive a +1 overall rating. In case Manchester City manages to defend its championship of the last season in the UCL, Gvardiol’s rating will hike to 91 with one additional PlayStyle.
Bukayo Saka
Transfer Market Value: 6,000 - 1,000,000 Coins
Arsenal’s reliable young star in theforward lineis one of the main reasons why the team has managed to keep themselves in the title race of the Premier League so far. With a significant chance of getting a Premier League TOTS card, Bukayo Saka is one of the best young wingers available in Ultimate Team at a reasonable price.
Thanks to Aresnal’s qualification to the knockout stage of the UEFA Champions League, Saka’s Road to the Knockouts card received a full upgrade, reaching the overall of 91, which is the player’s best existing card in the game at the moment. Surprisingly enough, this card comes at less than half the price of Gvardiol’s RTTF card, which makes it quite an economic option for those looking to upgrade their offensive line.
Gianluigi Donnarumma
Transfer Market Value: 13,000 - 110,000 Coins
Even though Paris Saint-Germain’s loss against Barcelona in their home stadium was quite disappointing for the team’s fans, their squad is strong enough to make a comeback in the second leg. And for Donnarumma, that comeback could reflect quite big in EA Sports FC 24, leading to an upgrade for his Road to the Finals card.
Currently at the Overall of 91, a win against Barcelona will boost it to 92, and if Paris Saint-Germain manages to win the UCL for the first time in its history, then Donnarumma could turn into a 93 OVRgoalkeeperwith one new PlayStyle. With a price tag of around 120K coins, Donnarumma is already a steal in the transfer market even without the possible upgrade.
Cole Palmer
Transfer Market Value: 5,000 - 1,300,000 Coins
Without a doubt, Cole Palmer is one of the main candidates for the Premier TOTS list. The midfielder who only had a 66-rated card in Ultimate Team when EA Sports FC 24 launched back in 2023, now features two massively upgraded variants with overalls of 88 and 91.
EA FC 24: 10 Tips & Tricks For Beginners
While there’s much to learn in EA FC 24, here are the most important tips beginners need to master first.
Palmer’s unexpectedly brilliant performance in Chelsea’s squad will more than likely grant him his highest-rated card in EA FC 24 when TOTS arrives. But if you can’t wait for that, the Future Stars variant of Palmer is a safe bet at the moment for 1.3 million coins. However, the possible arrival of the TOTS version could decrease the price of the Future Stars variant slightly.
Rafael Leao
Transfer Market Value: 8,000 - 2,000,000 Coins
AC Milan’s Rafael Leao is already one of the highest-rated wingers in EA Sports FC 24, thanks to the team’s qualification to the quarter-finals of the UEFA Europa League. Now, the first leg of the match against AS Roma didn’t conclude in favor of Milan, but they have a full-time second leg ahead to turn the tables and lock in their spot among the top four teams of the tournament.
Leao started the Road to the Finals campaign with an overall of 91, and now he is at 93. If AC Milan reaches the semi-finals, the Overall will boost to 94, and in case of winning the trophy, Rafael Leao will be a 95-rated winger with three PlayStyles, which is huge! Regarding his incredible stats on the RTTF card, Leao easily turns into a player that every player wants to have in their squad, but the pricing is a big barrier. Will you spend nearly 2 million coins on the Portuguese gem?
Jeremie Frimpong
Transfer Market Value: 1,000 - 2,000,000 Coins
Yet another breakthrough star in Leverkusen’s exceptional squad for this season is Jeremie Frimpong. The Dutch wing-back has scored 12 Goals and 10 Assists this season, becoming one of the most crucial members of the team contributing to Leverkusen’s unbeaten run so far.
EA Sports FC 24 features 4 different variants of Frimpong, and we will likely get the fifth variant when the Bundesliga TOTS is revealed. Unfortunately, the player doesn’t have any cards at the moment with an upgrade feature, but he did receive a Team of the Year variant earlier in 2024 with an overall rating of 94, which makes him a must-have in every squad that plays with wing-backs. The price tag, however, is at the same level as that of Rafael Leao.
Transfer Market Value: 6,000 - 1,100,000 Coins
The next big superstar of Barcelona has been one of the greatest players of La Liga this season, despite missing a considerable number of games due to his injury, Pedri scored a crucial Assist against Paris Saint-Germain in the quarter-finals of UCL, and if Barcelona manages to secure that big win, the player will get a boost on his Road to the Finals card in EA Sports FC 24.
EA FC 24: 6 Best Ultimate Team Formations, Ranked
From the classic 4-4-2 to the versatile 4-5-1, here are the most highly recommended formations to use in EA FC 24’s Ultimate Team.
If Barcelona qualifies for the next round, Pedri will reach the overall of 94, and if Xavi’s team wins the trophy, the overall will increase to 95 with an additional PlayStyle. That is, of course, quite a risky bet on this year’s Barcelona, but even with the current stats, Pedri’s RTTF card is worth the 1 million price tag.
Jude Bellingham
Transfer Market Value: 6,000 - 6,400,000 Coins
Similar to Cole Palmer, Jude Bellingham’s appearance in La Liga’s TOTS is almost confirmed, thanks to his jaw-dropping performance for Real Madrid. The English midfielder has already proved that he deserves to wear the number 5 shirt at Real Madrid, and that performance rewarded him with a colossal 96-rated TOTY card earlier this year.
It’s yet to be seen how his possible TOTS card will be rated, but more than likely he will get a rating of over 90 once again. Aside from that, Bellingham also has an 89-rated UEFA Champions League Team of the Group Stage card, which could still be a considerable option for players looking for a budget variant of the English star.
