From legends like Pele to the game’s biggest stars like Erling Haaland and Mohamed Salah, these are the best FUTTIES cards in EA FC 24.
High
Alexia Putellas isan excellent, versatile midfielderwho can perform a variety of roles in the center of the pitch. Asone of the best women in Ultimate Team, Putellas has displayed her talents with one of the best cards this year, highlighted by her incredible Dribbling attributes.
Though her 99 Shooting and Passing lead the way,Putellas can be just as dangerous with the ball at her feet,giving her all the tools necessary to succeed in producing when you need her to.
Medium
Salah’s biggest weakness is his weak foot, as it typically lets him down when he needs to produce a moment of brilliance with his right. However, this Salah card eliminated his biggest pitfall,boasting five stars in both weak foot and Skill Movesto give Mo a few more tricks up his sleeve.
Despite his 99 Dribbling, Salah typically isn’t known to beone of the best Dribblers in Ultimate Team, but this card changes that, bestowing every possible quality a winger could need upon this talented Egyptian.First Touchis the perfect complement to his Rapid PlayStyle Plus and 99 Pace.
Caroline Graham Hansen is very similar to Mohamed Salah, though her PlayStyles make her even more dynamic at creating chances for her teammates than Mo, with Hansenboasting Whipped Pass and Tiki Takato help her play quick combinations for her team.
On top of her excellent 97 Passing,Hansen is just as dangerous as Salahwhen it comes to cutting inside for a curling shot to the opposite corner.
Lucio stands tall as the prototypical perfect defender in EA FC 24,with his unbeatable combination of size, strength, speed, and smooth passing abilities.
Though Virgil van Dijk often takes home the accolades as the best defender in the game, Lucio boasts an equally incredible aura, allowing him to perform with precision that other defenders can’t equal.
Quick Step gives Lucio the Pace needed to keep up with the fastest attackers, whileBlock and Anticipateensure that nobody can get past this wall of a defender.
Despite her relatively common appearance in player picks, Homare Sawa remains one of the best players in Ultimate Team, boasting an incredible skillset to make herone of the best box-to-box midfielders in EA FC 24.
Sawa briefly appeared as a very common choice from a certain player pick SBC, but EA removed the Squad Builder Challenge (SBC) and reduced her odds of appearing.
Sawa touts 99 Dribbling and Defense,making her one of the best midfielders in the game at taking possession away from the opponent before quickly recycling it into an offensive opportunity.
Ronaldo is a mainstay among the best FUTTIES cards almost every year, and this 99-rated Ronaldo version is the latest juiced-up variant on his FIFA/EA FC resume. Given the introduction of PlayStyles this year, this Ronaldo card looks like the best yet, with hiscombination of pace and power that makes him a threat from anywhere.
With some ofthe best PlayStyles in EA FC 24to back up his sublime attributes, Ronaldo easily claims a spot among FUTTIES royalty, boasting one of the most incredible cards this year.
Much like CR7, Neymar has been guaranteed inclusion among the best FUTTIES cards every year he has been healthy, even some years when he barely played.
Even as a player outside Europe’s top leagues, theFUTTIES Plus distinction gives Neymar the chemistryhe needs to fit into almost any Squad.
Even as theupper limit of his career mode potentialcontinues to shrink with age, Neymar Jr’s FUTTIES card continues to surpass prior versions, as Neymar can still perform exceptionally well at dribbling. His high skill ceiling makes Neymar a must-have for top-tier performance.
Much like Mohamed Salah, Erling Haaland’s most glaring deficiency is his inaccurate weak foot, which is remedied with this fantastic FUTTIES variant.
With his biggest weakness gone, Haaland becomeseven more dangerous in the box,as his positioning and weak foot no longer hold him back from finishing clear-cut chances.
While prior versions of his card wasted a PlayStyle Plus slot on the Acrobatic choice, Aerial is much more flexible and allows Haaland to get to more balls in the air before defenders.
Eusebio SBC cards have become a huge part of the meta-game in EA Sports FC 24, as this attacker possesses anincredible array of skills for an attacker.
Whether you need him to perform as a pure striker or prefer him to slot into a False Nine role, Eusebio can make a huge impact on your system, creating shots from a variety of angles, while finishing his chances from inside the box with automatic precision.
Pele claims the crown asthe best FUTTIES card in EA Sports FC 24due to his unparalleled combination of sky-high attributes, excellent PlayStyles, and top-tier performance on the pitch.
Pele is afinesse playerand might be an adjustment if you prefer a physical style of play. Avoid taking on defenders unless you’re readyto dribble.
While his lack of physical strength holds him back, the intimidation factor of fielding Pele is often underestimated, but even without it, his skills should scare you into defending.
