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 Premier League 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 Premier League 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, Alisson is our favorite. He scored highest on the most important attributes: reflexes, diving, and handling. However, you would also be in safe hands if you picked Ederson.
In almost everyone’s opinion, Van Dijk and Koulibaly are the best center-backs in this league. They are both fast and have impressive defensive skills.
Cancelo and Kyle Walker are the best fullbacks. Thanks to Electronic Arts that have rebuilt chemistry, you can use both in the same team: Cancelo on the left, relegating Robertson to the bench; and Walker on the right side.
We used this formation not because it is the best for this league but because it is the standard formation we use for unlimited budget squads of our guides. This means that we have only two spots for four high-quality players. Kante and Kevin De Bruyne are excellent, especially playing as CDM and CAM. If you don’t want to relegate Bernardo Silva or Bruno Fernandes to the bench/reserves, you should pick another formation.
Salah and Son are easy choices on the right and left sides of the midfield, even knowing they are native wingers. If you can’t afford them, this league has several other quality options.
If you want to score goals and win games, Ronaldo is a must-buy. His card has been downgraded year after year, but even so, he is an incredible player. Probably the biggest addition to this league was Haaland. He is the perfect teammate for the Portuguese player. Both will give a lot of headaches to the opponents.
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. Please look at those guides to understand why we picked player A instead of player B.
On the back, despite his height, Lloris will keep your goal safe. Akanji and Rúben Dias are solid defenders, but if you don’t feel confident with the lack of pace of the Portuguese defender, we suggest replacing him with Diego Carlos. Reece James and Robertson are easy choices to the right and left sides of the defense.
Thiago and Gundogan are good options for the midfield, but having two slow players in this position may be risky. That’s why we suggest Matheus Nunes as the third midfield. If you feel this is insufficient, you can replace Gündogan with Ødegaard. On the wings, Zaha and Mahrez support the striker, Darwin. We know Zaha is slightly out of our budget, but he will be worth every coin invested.
This squad was built with players whose price was under 15k coins on the release date. Unfortunately, even if you have a few spare coins to spend, we don’t have any suggestions since all players who could make you jump to the next level are still too expensive.
Low Budget Squad
| GK |  Alphonse Areola |
| RB | Ricardo Pereira |
| CBR |  Ben Godfrey |
| CBL |  Moussa Niakhaté |
| LB |  Rico Henry |

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.
Areola is our choice for the goal. Ricardo Pereira, Ben Godfrey (what a pleasant surprise!), Niakhaté, and Rico Henry complete the defense. If you can invest more coins, we recommend trying Emiliano Martínez.
In the midfield, Eriksen and Tielemens complement each other well. Naby Keita and Arthur may fit better on your midfield if you need more pace. Ziyech on the right and Perisic on the left (he can also play as LB) fill the wings to assist Michail Antonio and Ollie Watkins, who have been chosen for their combination of pace and finishing stats.
This squad was built with players whose price was under 1.5k coins on the release date. However, if you still have some room in your budget, Saka (both sides) and Cornet are players who would significantly improve this squad. If you want to add extra quality to this team, you can make an effort and buy Gonçalo Guedes or Richarlison. They will pay off your investment in just a few matches.
