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 Ligue 1 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 Ligue 1 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.
In the goal, Donnarumma is our favorite. Technically, he is as good as Keylor Navas but 11cm taller.
The choice of Marquinhos and Kimpembe for the center of the defense is pretty obvious. They are much better than any other center-back from this league. Hakimi and Nuno Mendes are great options for fullbacks.
Messi and Neymar Jr are the obvious choices for the wings, but things are more complicated in the center. Unfortunately, there isn’t a single top-quality player you can use as a defensive midfielder. Guendouzi is not a bad player, but he is far from the quality of the rest of the team.
In front of him, we suggest you use Verratti. He is not as fast as we would like, but there are not many players so good at passing and dribbling as he is.
In the front, Mbappé is confirmed as long as you can play his price, and we think Ben Yedder should play next to him. He is very good with the ball on his feet and knows how to put it on the net.
We used this formation not because we think it’s the best for this league but because it’s the default formation we use in all our league guides. Formations that won’t feature the CM position have the downside of not giving the chance to include one of the best players: Renato Sanches. The team would look much better if we could replace Guendouzi with him.

In the goal, Anthony Lopes is good enough to keep your goal safe. However, if you have a few coins to invest, you would be better with Keylor Navas.
This league has two excellent CBs, but the other ones are the worst of the five biggest leagues. In our opinion, Mbempa and Tiago Djaló are the ones you should use, supported by Mukiele and Nuno Mendes.
In the midfield, Verratti should play in the middle while Soler and Fofana use their pace to fill the other positions.
Finally, Nicolas Pépé and Terrier are good choices to play on the wings, leaving the most advanced position to Delort, a player that can score in several different ways.
This squad was built with players whose price was under 15k coins on the release date.

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.
Four of the five defenders are cheap enough to remain on the team. The exception is Nuno Mendes, who Bernat replaced. Our first choice was Ismaily, but he is out of the budget. If you have a few coins to invest, you can buy him.
For the same reason, the midfield has the same players, except Verratti, who had to leave since this formation has one less player in that field area.
Delort is the most advanced element of the team, but this time he has Jonathan David next to him. They play well together and may guarantee many goals for your team.
This squad was built with players whose price was under 1k coins on the release date. Excepting the most popular players, the prices of this league are low. That’s why there are not many differences between the medium and the low-budget squads.
If you use these players, you won’t need a manager on your team since he will be useless while wasting contracts.
