Squad Suggestions
Building a team in FC 24 Ultimate Team can be a challenge. It’s not necessary to have the best team if your budget doesn’t allow it, but it’s crucial to create a team that suits your style and needs.
When selecting players, it’s essential to carefully consider their attributes. Choosing a team solely based on ratings is a common mistake. We will guide you through the best players for each position, focusing on their key attributes.
It’s also important to ensure that the players you choose fit the formations you prefer. For example, having a skilled full-back won’t be beneficial if your chosen formation only includes three defenders.
Additionally, maximizing chemistry is crucial. While many players build squads based on a single league or nation, experienced players can create hybrid teams without sacrificing chemistry.
To cater to different player preferences and budgets, we recommend three squads with varying formations and budgets. However, please note that these formations are not necessarily the best for the Bundesliga but are generic formations used across our squad guides.
Disclaimer Notes
This guide is based on our perception of the game, which may differ from yours. It should serve as a general orientation rather than a definitive solution, as it’s impossible to build a team that suits everyone’s preferences. Additionally, there are various factors that we are unaware of that can influence choices, such as budget, formation, custom tactics, instructions, play style, and individual player preferences.
It’s important to clarify certain criteria that we used in this guide:
- Only Gold Players: We have not considered silver and bronze players in this guide. Most of them are not capable of replacing the gold players in terms of quality.
- Only Regular Players: This guide does not take into account In-Form (IF) and special items, including Icons and FUT Heroes. These items are often more expensive and may not provide good value for players with limited budgets.
- Only Normal Players: Upgraded or transferred items are not considered in this guide. We have only included players who started the season in the Bundesliga with their original attributes.

The choice for this team’s players was based on the analysis made in the position guides. Please look at those guides to understand why we picked player A instead of player B.
If there are undoubted players in this team, Neuer is certainly one of them. He is clearly the best. He has the highest values in four of the six face stats.
Matthijs de Ligt and Emre Can are two fast center-backs that help keep your goal safe. You may disagree with us because Upamecano has great stats. We agree with you on that. However, he also has terrible work rates that may ruin your chances of keeping a clean sheet. Can, the most versatile player of this league, was an option to play as CDM leaving this spot free for another player, but we wouldn’t win anything with this since Goretzka cannot play as CAM.
In our opinion, the other spots of the defense should be filled with two ultra-fast players: Frimpong and Alphonso Davies.
Goretzka is one of the best players in Germany, so you cannot leave out on this team. Nkunku is the best player for the CAM position, but since there are not enough good strikers in the Bundesliga, we think it is better to use him as a striker and Reus behind him.
In formations with the CF position, we recommend using Mané in the middle, but since this one is not the case, we had to leave him playing as a left midfielder. On the other flank, Diaby is the best option. On the attack, Werner is the best option to team up with Nkunku. They are both fast and will play well together.
If you use these players, you won’t need a manager on your team since he will be useless while wasting contracts.

The choices for this more affordable team were based on the analysis made in the position guides. If you want to understand our choices, read those guides.
On the back, Trapp will keep your goal safe. De Ligt and Klostermann are fast and solid centre-backs, supported on the left side by Raum and the right side by Frimpong.
Can is the perfect player for the center of the field. He has the muscle that every midfield needs and is also good at starting the attacks. Laimer and Gravenberch complete the midfield. On the wings, Gnabry and Sané are responsible for supporting Werner.
This squad was built with players whose price was under 15k coins on the release date. However, if you still have some room in your budget, Bellingham and Diaby would improve this squad a lot.
If you use these players, you won’t need a manager on your team since he will be useless while wasting contracts.

The choice for this team’s players was based on the analysis made in the position guides. To understand why these players were selected, please read those guides.
Kobel is not among the most popular goalkeepers, but he is our choice for the goal. It won’t be because of him you will lose. However, if you want someone better, you must invest a few coins and buy Casteels.
Baku, Schlotterbeck, Ndicka, and Raum complete the defense. You can also add quality to this defense, going to the transfer market and buying Gvardiol and Mazraoui.
In the midfield, Demirbay and Gravenberch complement each other well. Becker on the right and Angeliño on the left fill the wings to assist Thuram and André Silva. If you are not confident with them, try to bring Malen to your team.
This squad was built with players whose price was under 1k coins on the release date, and if you use these players, you won’t need a manager on your team.
