In a recent update on June 6, players can enjoy special Team of The Season Cards in EA FC 24, creating their own sought-after cards with improved attributes. Whether it’s a cost-effective star like Debinha or a legendary star like Caroline Graham Hansen, you can find the best player on TOTS list.

With the end of a season in the football calendar, now is a good time to choose your best players. This Ultimate Team mode is the first time that women have been fully included, so each top Female League will be evaluated based on the best performances of the players.

Once the evaluation is complete, the top performing players will receive special Team of The Season Cards with attribute boosts, creating some of the most sought-after cards for players in the game.

This guide will take a look at some of Female Team of the Season Cards in unique positions and requiring different FC 24 Coins. Finally, it should be noted that Squad Building Challenges are limited-time, so they are not included in this guide.

Debinha

• Pace: 91
• Shooting: 88
• Passing: 94
• Dribbling: 99

A current member of Kansas City, Debinha has had a strong NWSL Season, kicking 9 goals in 18 games and excelling in the midfield position. On the field, her 88 shooting rating shows. But her true talent lies elsewhere.

With 99 dribbling, her play style, and dribbling-focused, she is one of the best dribblers in the game. With this card available for just 300k FC 24 Coins, you’ll get a lot for your money.

Although this update mainly introduces European players, it may be a bit far-fetched to associate her with European players, but she comes from Brazil, a football powerhouse, and will help you a lot in the team.

Alexandra Popp

• Pace: 92
• Shooting: 97
• Dribbling: 92

This German veteran has scored 67 goals for German national team and 87 goals for Wolfsburg in her 15-year career. Although her speed score is slightly lower than similar TOTS cards, she will make up for it in other aspects.

The German striker has the best shooting data in the league at present, with a shot power of 99 and a success rate of 96, making her a very good shooter.

Her positioning and header accuracy are both 99, making her a leader in header scoring. And her 5-star weak foot combined with Finesse Shot Plus makes her very good in any situation.

Salma Paralluelo

• Pace: 99
• Shooting: 94
• Dribbling: 95

Salma Paralluelo is probably one of the best young players in the world, and she became the star of the 2023 Spanish Team of the Year when she scored in World Cup semi-final against Switzerland. She then made a name for herself by scoring 18 goals in 18 league games for Barcelona.

She is just one point away from a perfect score for pace, and her Rapid and Quick Step play styles make her unmatched on the field. Once she is in front of the goal, it is a goal-scoring ending.

Sophia Smith

• Pace: 99
• Shooting: 94
• Dribbling: 97

You can put this card anywhere on the field, whether it is ST, CF or RW. Because of her pace, this is an upgrade from her already excellent Team of the Year card. Aside from the always useful Finesse Shot +, Smith’s speed is only slightly better than her accuracy when facing a shooting opportunity.

Aitana Bonmati

• Shooting: 94
• Passing: 94
• Dribbling: 99
• Defending: 88

From the data listed, she has one more defending data than other players, which also means that she is an all-round player. As a key factor in the enormous success of Barcelona team in recent years, Bonmati is one of the best female players in the entire league.

Although she is all-round, she is more suitable for the 8th or 10th position, and can play the best role in the midfield. In terms of court skills, she is more suitable for running towards attackers and passing the key balls behind the opposing defenders.

Karchaoui

• Pace: 99
• Defending: 92
• Dribbling: 97

Although Karchaoui is essentially a left-back who focuses on defense, she can also attack the opponent’s full-back as a left midfielder. On the left half of the court, she is better at creating opportunities and scoring goals.

If you want her to focus on defense, you can put her in Sentinel style and improve her defense and physicality to 97 and 89 points. If you want to prioritize offense, you can choose Finisher style to improve dribbling and shooting.

Caroline Graham Hansen

• Pace: 97
• Shooting: 95
• Dribbling: 98
• Passing: 96

Hansen is the most expensive female TOTS card on the market for EA FC 24, but it is definitely worth the money. Her stats are also very nice, and there are other attributes that make her a suitable candidate for legendary status.

Besides her shooting stats, she also has 5-star skills and weak foot. Hawk style is the best way to further improve this special card, which can increase speed to 99 points, shooting to 98 points, and physical fitness to 92 points.

Ewa Pajor Plays For VFL Wolfsburg

Ewa Pajor from VFL Wolfsburg is also an excellent striker. She made it into the team of the season with her efforts.

The last best player is Alexandra Popp from VFL Wolfsburg. She is also one of the highest rated players in TOTS, with a score of 97. Although she is 33 years old, her age is not a hindrance to her excellent performance. In 16 games, she scored 7 goals and assisted the team to score 9 goals.

Have these 7 female players captured your heart? In the rules of this Ultimate Team formation, you can form a mixed team of men and women. Men and women work together, and work is not tiring! I wish you to form a super dream team and achieve excellent results.

FC 24 Ultimate Team recently made a strong return, which means you can create your own dream team and compete against the strongest opponents. EA has made some changes to the popular game mode following its split from FIFA. In this guide, we’ll cover all aspects of Ultimate Team, including some details on how to build your dream team and make the most of the transfer token.

The transfer market just mentioned is a place frequented by most players who are keen on novelty. We can enhance your Ultimate Team by using the appropriate amount of FC 24 Coins to fill gaps.

What Is FC 24 Ultimate Team?

FC 24 Ultimate Team is a special game mode. Different from previous battle modes, Ultimate Team forms a team through the deck building mechanism. Here you can feel the management style that differs from that of a real professional league.

The specific operation is that you can use FC 24 Coins to open some packs of players, and create the highest-rated dream lineup based on your ideas. Of course, not every pack of players can produce a genius boy. At this time, you can trade different cards with other players to ensure fairness. In the end, your dream team will compete head-to-head with other players’ teams in a one-off match or a multiplayer league.

What Is New In FC 24 Ultimate Team?

FC 24 Ultimate Team One of the biggest changes is the addition of evolutions. Evolutions will change your player’s rating over time, allowing you to better customize your players.

When you open packs of players, lower rated players are opened. Don’t be discouraged, you can adjust them with additional skill moves, such as improving their work efficiency and upgrading their flaws. As a player develops, you’ll see upgrades visible to the naked eye.

After continuous upgrades, you may have a unique team, which is so exciting. Although evolutions will have some limitations and challenges, they will also give you more control over your squad.

Another wonderful addition is that the other half of World’s Game–women’s football joins FC 24. Men and women players can play together on the same team, including the following superstars. From this point of view, the player pool will increase by more than 1,600 players. For me, this is something that is long overdue and makes me eager to start a co-ed Ultimate Team.

There are also new playstyles, and you can build a team with unique abilities and a more realistic experience based on some performances on the pitch. PlayStyles not only introduces a new dynamic to Ultimate Team that goes beyond the overall rating, but also increases your understanding of your players, allowing you to check for gaps in a timely manner.

Additionally, objectives are back. Objective Groups will be in different tabs, along with backgrounds and other tweaks. For example, you can now claim all objective rewards earlier than before.

Ultimate TOTS Player Predictions

Although we don’t know which players will be included in the packs of players before it is officially released. But we can make some assumptions based on the highest-rated and most expensive TOTS cards released during the promotion.

Hi, all gamers! Welcome to this new formation guide of EA FC 24. Get ready to discover the game-changing 4-5-1(2) formation for the Team of the Season event, featuring custom tactics, player instructions, and additional insights. If this interests you, just follow my step and take a look at how it works.

Custom Tactics

Defensive Tactics: When defending, the Defensive Style is still on balanced. Then you can utilize a Width of 42 and a Depth of 71. Despite this defensive depth, this formation still aims for the team to maintain a high press and not retreat too deeply, akin to Atletico Madrid's style. Maintaining pressure prevents opponents from easily penetrating the half and box with quick passes. Balanced tactics serve this purpose well, although a slightly lower width, around 35-40, may also suffice.

Offensive Tactics: For Build Up Play and Chance Creation, you can opt for balanced settings. However, Long Ball Build Up Play could be effective for launching precise passes to the wide Midfielders, particularly the Left Midfielder in this setup. This approach facilitates bypassing the opponent's press effectively. For Player In Box, you can set it on 6. Then assign 1 for Corners and another 1 for Free Kicks to optimize attacking opportunities.

Player Instructions

Next, let's break down the player instructions of this 4-5-1(2) formation.

Goalkeeper: First of all, you can choose Peter Schmeichel as the Goalkeeper, and set him on Sweeper Keeper so that he will try to catch the ball before the opponent touches it.

Backs: For the Right Back, set the instruction on Stay Back While Attacking and Overlap, and it's the same for the Left Back. For Center Backs, I also recommend having Stay Back While Attacking. I think these are the best setting in this formation.

Midfielders: In midfield, I want to maintain a 4-4-2 defensive shape while leading and transition to a 4-5-1 when controlling the game. Thus, I instruct the Left Midfielder to Stay Forward and Stay Wide to act as a Left Forward or Striker in a 4-4-2, while the Right Midfielder stays back while attacking and covers the wing, providing defensive support.

For the center midfielders, you can instruct them to stay back while attacking and cover the center to maintain defensive solidity. The Central Attacking Midfielder (CAM) is instructed to Come Back and Stay Wide, allowing for diverse attacking options.

Striker: Finally, for the Striker, I highly recommend picking Ronaldo who are really famous and powerful. You can instruct him to Drift Wide and Come Back On Defense to maintain pressure without dropping too deep.

Regarding substitutions, I typically bring on Cristiano Ronaldo for Aerial physical presence, William Saliba or Jude Bellingham for defensive reinforcement, and R9 for attacking variation. In terms of potential substitutes, players like Nuno Mendes, Marcus Thuram are notable options. Marcus Thuram, in particular, stands out for his attributes and playStyle.

Final Thought

This formation aim to prevent the opponent from easily penetrating our half and invite pressure. I believe they are effective for TOTS Weekend League matches, especially with a strong team. This tactical strategy enables the formation of dynamic attacking triangles, facilitating easier access to both the wings and the center, thereby increasing the chances of scoring goals.

That wraps my 4-5-1(2) formation settings, and I think they are fantastic. Please use them in the TOTS Weekend League and I'll be very happy if you like them. The players also play an important role in this formation, don't forget to enhance their abilities. Hope you have a wonderful gaming experience!

Hi, fellow players! Welcome back to another EA FC 24 formation guide. I'm glad to see you're enjoying the Team of the Season event. Today, I'll be delving into the 5-2-1-2 formation that can be used in the Weekend League. If you're curious about how it works, let's dive in and take a closer look.

Custom Tactics

To start off the defensive tactics, the Defensive Style remains balanced, as always. Then The defensive Width is set at 30, allowing for a nice and narrow defensive line of 5. Depth is maintained at 50.

Move to the offensive tactics, the Build Up Play is balanced, with Direct Passing as the preferred method, a strategy akin to what you've likely encountered in various formations. Offensive Width stands at 50, ensuring adequate width provided by the Wing Backs, a crucial aspect we'll address in the player instructions shortly.

Then the Players In Box is set at 7, despite the 5-back setup. This formation isn’t defensively minded. In fact, it’s arguably the most attacking among similar formations. The Corner is set at 2, with Free Kicks at 1, but these are both personal preference.

Player Instructions

CAM: In this formation, the Central Attacking Midfielder takes center stage. Much like in the 4-1-2-1-2 narrow or 4-3-1-2 formations, everything revolves around the CAM. Whether it's creating assists or scoring goals, the CAM is the key to the team. So, it's crucial to have a standout player in this role.

For instance, having Jack Grealish in your team, with instructions to Get Into The Box For Cross, greatly enhances his goal-scoring abilities. By making forward runs, he becomes a constant threat in the opponent's box. However, it's essential to remain alert and use your own initiative, as situations can quickly change, requiring swift decision-making.

We all prefer someone with speed, agility, and trickery in this role because they often receive the ball in tight spaces. When we regain possession, the ball swiftly goes to the Central Attacking Midfielder, creating numerical advantages, especially against opponents with advanced Full Backs.

It's all about seizing opportunities and understanding the dynamics of EA FC 24. You have to adapt to the situation because the formations and tactics won't adjust automatically. Additionally, the Central Attacking Midfielder is instructed to Get Into The Box For Crosses, adding another dimension to our attacking play.

Left & Right CM: So, the more attack-minded Central Midfielder in this formation is the Left Center Midfielder, you can have Robert Pires or Aston Villa. You're going to want to have that player on Balanced Attack, Get Into The Box For Cross and Cover Center.

Then, the more defensive-minded Central Midfielder, the Right Center Midfielder, such as Rodri or the Sergio Busquets, instructing them on Stay Back While Attacking and Cover Center. They will get the ball and pass it to the more attack-minded players.

Left & Right Wingers: Then, the most important players of the formation: the Left Wing Back and the Right Wing Back, instructing them both in Join The Attack and Overlap. So they will both be on Make Forward Runs, getting right up next to our Strikers.

But in terms of using the width, that's where the formation really comes into its own. Because you have the Left Wing Back bombing on, you have the Right Wing Back bombing on, on the overlap, and that gives us the width. Because then we do have our 3 Center Backs, where we don't need our Wing Backs to be on Stay Back While Attacking or anything like that in attack.

Goalkeeper: The goalkeeper is set on Comes For Crosses and Sweeper Keeper.

That concludes the 5-2-1-2 custom tactics and player instructions for EA FC 24 Team of the Season. Feel free to try this formation in your own matches if it suits your style of play!

Today, let me share with you several essential defensive strategies commonly employed by pro players in EA FC 24. It's crucial to incorporate these tips into your TOTS Weekend League gameplay to enhance your defensive prowess and achieve better results in the field.

Build A Solid Defensive Structure

Maintaining a solid defensive structure is paramount in any match of EA FC 24. Firstly, avoid excessive switching of players, particularly to your Defenders. It's crucial to delay switching for as long as possible. This allows you to utilize your attackers to track back and apply pressure from behind, thereby disrupting the flow of your opponent's attack.

Similarly, don't overlook the defensive capabilities of your Midfielders. Whenever feasible, use them to aid in defense. This not only makes it tougher for your opponent, but also simplifies your defensive duties. Defending with Center Backs in 1v1 situations can be extremely challenging. It is necessary to invest some EA FC 24 Coins to upgrade your players.

Use The Second Man Press

Then, let's discuss the Second Man Press. It can become ineffective if overused, but ignoring it entirely can also present challenges. Hence, finding the right moments to employ it is crucial.

Activating the Second Man Press is simple: just hold down the R1 button while defending. This action assigns another player to apply pressure on the ball holder, indicated by a green dot above their head.

Master The Jockey PlayStyle

Now, let's delve into the Jockey PlayStyle. Executing the regular Jockey is as simple as holding down the L2 button. This maneuver stands as one of the most effective methods to assert control over your defenders. Neglecting to utilize the Jockey can leave you struggling to tackle your opponent in crucial moments.

You can use the Jockey when your opponent penetrates the defensive zone. Wait for them to make a move and then you can save some time by letting the regular Jockey stop their progress. The key is not to rush into tackles prematurely. Instead, use the Jockey to assess your opponent's actions and anticipate their next move.

As for the Sprint Jockey, it functions similarly to the regular Jockey, the Sprint Jockey offers heightened agility for the Defenders. To execute the Sprint Jockey, simultaneously hold down the L2 and R2 buttons. This PlayStyle is incredibly versatile, whether pressing high up the field or tracking back with Midfielders, allowing you to utilize it across various areas of the pitch.

Goalkeeper Movement

Moving on, I'll show you the importance of Goalkeeper movement, a critical aspect of defensive strategy. Whether it's dealing with Corners, Free Kicks, or 1v1 situations, knowing when and how to move your Goalkeeper can be game-changing.

While it's challenging to predict your opponent's next move, Goalkeeper movement can still hinder many scoring attempts. When facing Corners or Free Kicks, moving your Goalkeeper is essential to prevent conceding goals. To move your Goalkeeper, simply press the right stick and adjust their position to the left or right as needed.

Another useful technique for Goalkeeper movement involves utilizing double tap triangle, especially effective for dealing with crosses or long shots. Simply press triangle, then press it a second time and hold it to trigger a quick movement towards the far post.

This proves to be extremely valuable for disrupting the opponent's attack, especially when they attack from a wide area or attempt a shot from a distance. However, regardless of your proficiency in the Goalkeeper movement, it's crucial to remember this, particularly during Corners and Free Kicks. So, ensure you're actively moving your Goalkeeper in these situations to enhance your defensive solidity.

Utilize Offside Traps

Another valuable tip involves utilizing Offside Traps. Practicing this tactic can significantly enhance your defensive capabilities, making it more challenging for your opponent to penetrate your defensive line. Mastering the Offside Traps can greatly aid in pressing opponents effectively.

To perform the Offside Traps, simply press the down arrow on your D-Pad twice, causing your defensive line to shift forward, thus disrupting your opponent's attacking build up and restricting their access to scoring opportunities.

Hi, players! I'll be ranking the top 5 best shots in EA FC 24 TOTS and provide multiple examples of why these shots are worth trying, along with demonstrations on how to execute them. Additionally, I'll advise you on when to utilize each shot. Make sure to stick around till the end because I'll introduce a glitch shot we recently discovered, exclusive to EA FC 24.

5. Trivela Shot

We'll begin with number 5, which is the Trivela Shot. Despite being the weakest among these 5 shots, it still performs remarkably well. Initially, it was considered the best shot in the game, possibly even ranking at number 1. However, due to patches, it now sits at number 5.

Nevertheless, the Trivela remains effective. To execute it, simply hold L2 and press Circle. While it may not be as efficient outside the box anymore, it remains a reliable method for finishing inside the box, especially when aiming for the far post. The Trivela shot is characterized by a specific angle, slightly turned with your face towards the far post.

When taking a Corner Kick, you won't have the option to aim for the near post, so targeting the far post becomes crucial. This shot works exceptionally well with players who may not excel in shooting. Even if it's green timed, it's unlikely to succeed with any other finish than the Trivela. Therefore, in certain scenarios, it remains your best choice.

4. Power Shot

Moving on to number 4, the Power Shot. Many players are familiar with the Power Shot, now performed by pressing L1 and R1 and then Circle. In certain scenarios, it proves to be the most effective shot option. However, there are situations where using it can lead to missed opportunities. I would recommend using it primarily outside of the box because employing it inside the box requires manual control and can be challenging to aim accurately.

It's particularly effective for players with the Playstyle+, but even those with a neutral play style find it useful. However, it's not very effective with players who lack the Playstyle. In such cases, the shot tends to be slow and time-consuming, allowing opponents to anticipate and counter easily. Despite this, the PO shot remains a potent tool and shouldn't be overlooked.

3. Finesse Shot

Moving on to number 3 - the Finesse Shot. It's currently the most effective method for scoring Long Shots, especially with players who possess the Playstyle+ attribute.The combination of Playstyle+, Finesse, and a Green Timed Shot results in consistent goals. It can be nearly impossible for opponents to defend against. Even when attempting to move the Goalkeeper, they often can't react quickly enough because of the shot's speed and accuracy.

The Putas is the standout player for executing Finesse Shots. With the finesse plus attribute, she's exceptionally proficient with it. However, many players currently boast this Playstyle, enabling them to capitalize on Finesse Shots effectively. Therefore, combining the Finesse Shot with the finesse plus attribute is arguably the most reliable method for scoring long-range goals in the EA FC 24.

2. Glitch Shot

Moving on to number 2, we have the Glitch Shot. To perform a glitch shot, simply hold L2 and R2 simultaneously. When executed, the Goalkeeper consistently fails to save these shots. It's as if they leap up above him every time. I suggest using it primarily from outside the box. However, when attempted from a distance and timed correctly, it results in a goal almost every time.

1. Regular Shot

Last but not least, we have the best shot by far - the Regular Shot. Ninety percent of the time, this is the shot you need to be used to capitalize on your chances. Just opt for the straightforward, the Regular Shot for the easy opportunities, and watch as it guarantees you goals. You don't need to overthink your finish, just press Circle when it's timed green.

We could delve into further arguments about why the Regular Shot reigns supreme, but it boils down to simplicity. You don't need to ponder your finish - just shoot with the regular Circle button. I believe many of you often overlook this option. So, if you're struggling to convert your chances, remember to stick to the basics.

Recently, the news that Jonas "Jonny" Wirth crushed his opponents in EA FC 24 Tournament and became the champion of Virtual Bundesliga 2023-24 attracted the attention of many people. In this guide, we’ll give you a brief overview of his playing style and give you expert advice on both defense and offense.

Stable Defensive Formation

Let’s get down to business. There’s nothing flashy about his style of play, especially on defense, which is the foundation of his success.

In fact, I rarely see someone so disciplined on defense that he doesn’t pull defenders out of position and keeping shape is his norm.

Since the midfielders still have a long way to go to cover the wings, Jonny knows that if he involves the full-backs too early, it will create an unfavorable situation on the wings. Because the attacker has the player's advantage on this side. Therefore, with patience, he can allow the wingers to step in, or switch to full-backs, which can stabilize the wings and ultimately help him win the ball.

This composed way of holding a defensive shape is evident in every area of the pitch, and he rarely over-commits with a player even in the trickiest moments of this formation.

Every FC player knows that it’s the scariest defensive situation when you win the ball and immediately concede it. But Jonny could stay calm, and he immediately performed a Jockey movement with L2/LB to maintain defense. While it’s easy to get busy after conceding a goal in front of your own goal, a rock-solid defense is absolutely key to winning the title.

What Is On & Off The Ball Defending?

While he’s unlikely to over-commit his players, he keeps the pressure high with an excellent combination of On and Off The Ball Defending.

So, what is On and Off The Ball Defending? On The Ball is what you know as directly defending the opponent’s player with the ball, but when Jonny switches to anticipating the next ball and uses Second Man Press, that’s Off The Ball Defending.

The best players in the world can fluidly switch between On and Off The Ball Defending because it puts pressure on the player in possession of the ball. Besides this, it also affects their next passing options, forcing opponents into trouble and making mistakes more likely.

Offside Trap

Another tool to put your opponent in trouble is the frequent use of Offside Trap. He likes to use this early in the opponent’s attack, and a pass to his center back is Jonny’s chance to trigger Offside Trap.

This will greatly affect the pace and momentum of the offensive players. Because they have to reset their position, especially when used for the second time a few minutes later, it makes the area in front of the defense difficult to play.

Timing is key here in order to limit the opponent’s movements to create some space in the middle. So Jonny only uses Offside Trap when all four defenders are in position. The opponent cannot pass the ball forward the moment the four defenders push up, so many times when the opponent turns around, it is the key time for Offside Trap.

It’s a very subtle thing, and it rarely results in a direct win of possession, but overall, it changes the dynamics on the pitch and breaks up the opponent’s typical attacking pattern.

Deceptive Long Balls

Now let’s look at Jonny’s offense. One characteristic of his Deceptive Long Balls is that he has a calm playmaking ability and does not rush by changing sides a lot to get players in the right position.

He will often deceptively initiate runs from wingers or full-backs. Then, when a player performs a Deep Run, he will make an extra pass or two to get the ball to a player with good Long Ball Pass ability. What I want to remind you is that buying the right FC 24 Player can help you implement this strategy better.

Jonny chose Bastian Schweinsteiger and Kimmich in the central midfield position. They are the best passers. He scored 13 goals in the semi-finals and final, six of which were initiated by long balls from these two men or the centre-backs.

What’s more, even if opponents adapt and try to start covering these runs, it’s still difficult to defend. Opponents have to recognize the run and mark it, but this gives Jonny more space and freedom to operate in the midfield and he can always deliver excellent passes to Strikers.

In short, Jonny always knows exactly what he needs to do in front of the goal. No matter how tight the angle is or how far away from the goal, he can score easily. Master and use these skills and you can win the game! Good luck!

Hi, players! In this guide, I'll give you some key information for EA FC 24. With the Team of the Season (TOTS) Live is already on PS, it's time to get ready for the Premier League Team of the Season this Friday. So, let's get started!

Dynamic Upgrades In TOTS Live

Team of the Season Live is a new concept introduced this year. Unlike the traditional Team of the Season releases, where players receive static ratings, Team of the Season Live cards have the potential for dynamic upgrades based on their squad's performance in upcoming Premier League TOTS.

For example, let's consider Kai Havertz's card, which boasts impressive stats, including 91 Defending and a 5-star weak foot. If his squad, Arsenal, meets the criteria for upgrades, his card could become even more formidable. This dynamic aspect adds an exciting element to the promo, as players' performances directly affect their in-game ratings.

However, it's worth noting that the Team of the Season Live cards are exclusive to this promo and won't be available during the Premier League Team of the Season releases. Therefore, it remains to be seen how the stats of players featured in those releases will compare.

Rivals & FUT Champions

If you're skilled enough to qualify for FUT Champions, it's essential to participate. With only 20 games required, it's manageable to complete and offers significant rewards. Skilled players can earn 3 Team of the Season Live player picks, with 5 choices each, totaling 15 options. These picks can yield high-rated players like 85x5 or 87x2, along with valuable packs such as 50k packs and 125k packs.

Aim to reach higher ranks at FUT Champions to unlock better rewards. Achieving 60 points, or rank 4, ensures you receive 3 Team of the Season Live players pack. Therefore, it's crucial to perform your best and strive for higher ranks to maximize your rewards. It’s also important to invest in some EA FC 24 Coins to enhance your players’ abilities.

Squad Building Challenges

The last thing that is very important is to do some SBCs. The 86+ Double Upgrade is repeatable twice, and it gives you 2 86+ players. You have to submit an 83 team and an 84 team as well. And I think most of you will have some Fodder in your team, and otherwise it's very easy to obtain Fodder while doing those objectives.

But then there's another one called the 82+ x11 Major Leagues Upgrade. It contains 11 rare gold players, all 82 or above, from the Premier League, League 1, Serie A, Bundesliga, or La Liga. So, well, please do this SBC as it is an insane pack.

If you have the patience to wait a few weeks, I would highly recommend it, because when the Premier League Teams of the Season comes in packs, you will be looking to get some of those cards because they will add most of the great players, most of the best players in the Premier League TOTS.

Pro Tips

Completing objectives is the easiest way to earn substantial rewards. For example, in Season Progress, you can unlock lucrative packs like a 100K pack or an 83x20 pack by grinding through the objectives. Look out for specific objectives like the Ultimate Birthday Champions Bonus, where scoring 200 goals in Rivals or FUT Champions can yield rewards like an 87x4 pack.

Take advantage of limited-time objectives like the Team of the Season Warm Up. By winning games in Squad Battles, Rivals, or FUT Champions, you can earn rewards such as Premier League packs and high-rated players like John McGinn. Completing the objectives requires meeting certain criteria, such as including specific players in your starting lineup or achieving specific gameplay milestones.

Keep an eye on upcoming objectives and events to ensure you don't miss out on valuable rewards. By staying active in EA FC 24 and completing objectives regularly, you can maximize your chances of obtaining desirable rewards and improving your squad.
