Every season a small group of groups get 5-star scores and a big benefit in sport modes like Kick Off and Seasons.

10. Paris Saint-Germain

Perpetual Champions League underachievers PSG have the very 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 bought its palms on Europe’s high prize.

In the summertime 2023 switch window, huge 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 have the ability to regular the ship as an inflow of latest arrivals be a part of the membership.

Any workforce 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 within the sport and stays Paris Saint-Germain’s talisman. Although he received’t be in PSG’s squad subsequent season, he’s price utilizing whilst you nonetheless can.

9. Liverpool

My favourite soccer workforce, Liverpool went by way of a whole midfield reinvention in the summertime of 2023. The likes of membership captain Jordan Henderson and Premier League veteran James Milner departed, and much-needed new blood arrived within 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 supply Liverpool with a well-balanced squad rated: 84 Assault, 82 Midfield, and 84 Protection. The Liverpool workforce isn’t the very 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 workforce on this record, and whereas 2023 was a dreadful 12 months for his or her male counterparts, Emma Hayes’ workforce continues to combat for titles 12 months after 12 months.

As of EA FC 24 although, it seems to be like supervisor Xavi has settled the ship; steering his previous workforce 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 enticing 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 sport for a very long time. They’ve received 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 received a report 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. Largely made up of German gamers, with a largely all-German technical workers, Wolfsburg has not completed outdoors of the highest two groups within the Frauen-Bundesliga because the 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 in the summertime 2023 switch window, Actual 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 likely one of the greatest younger gamers on the planet and at solely twenty years previous he has already established himself as a extremely smart and skillful participant.

Actual Madrid is crammed out with an equally sturdy 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 constantly 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.

Olympique Lyonnais Féminin has been the dominant workforce in France because the 2006/07 season and in that point has received 14 consecutive league titles and 16 in whole.

This present Lyon workforce is nearly 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 workforce is defensively strong as nicely, 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 control.

3. Manchester Metropolis

I’m unsure what extra Manchester Metropolis should do to be the highest-rated workforce in EA FC 24. Within the 2022/23 season, they turned the second English workforce 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 dwelling 36 targets in 35 video games. In the meantime, De Bruyne has constantly been among the finest 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 workforce 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. At the very least on paper.

Bayern Munich solely received the Bundesliga on objective distinction within the 2022/23 season after a tumultuous 12 months of supervisor ins and outs, nonetheless the German aspect has received 11 consecutive titles as of FC 24 and added superb gamers over the summer season. Oppositions ought to have a troublesome 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 velocity and width to Bayern’s play.

Lastly, there may be England and Tottenham Hotspur’s all-time high objective scorer Harry Kane who, having lastly escaped the clutches of Spurs, ought to simply have the ability to switch his common 30-goal-a-season tally to the Bundesliga.

1. FC Barcelona Fémeni

Barcelona Fémeni appears to interrupt their attendance data each week and for good motive. They’re probably the most profitable membership in Spanish soccer having received 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 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 filled with gamers from Spain’s 2023 World Cup-winning squad.

I received’t lie, earlier than launch I used to be sure that Manchester Metropolis’s 2022/23 treble winners can be the highest-rated workforce in EA FC 24. Nevertheless, with the elevated and well-earned illustration of ladies’s groups in EA’s newest title, FC Barcelona Fémeni are deservingly the very best workforce in EA FC 24.
