What EA FC 24 starter team does NealGuides recommend?
So, NealGuides has first recommended acquiring players from Serie A, the highest professional football league in Italy.
This is a team that is priced well below 100,000 FC Coins (the new currency that has replaced FUT Coins). However, it's worth being aware that the pricing of players changes constantly.
The starting 11, along with their approximate price, can be found below:
- Alex Meret (GK) – 2,800
- Leonardo Spinazzola (LB) – 2,800
- Pierre Kalulu (CB) – 1,100
- Gleison Bremer (CB) – 12,750
- Manuel Lazzari (RB) – 700
- Ismaël Bennacer (CDM) – 3,400
- Zambo Anguissa (CDM) – 3,300
- Mattia Zaccagni (LM) – 2,000
- Felipe Anderson (RM) – 2,600
- Luis Muriel (ST) – 800
- Ademola Lookman (ST) – 1,200
In theory, this should total around 33,000 FC Coins - no matter whether you play on PlayStation, Xbox or PC.
This will offer a maximum chemistry of 33 out of 33 and a rating of 82, offering a great start for anyone jumping into EA FC 24 Ultimate Team.
We're particularly fond of player pace - from the wing-backs to the left and right midfielders to the two strikers, with 86 being the lowest in Lookman and 92 being the highest in Lazzari.
Additionally, Meret, with an overall rating of 83, as the goalkeeper and Bremer, with an overall rating of 84, as a centre-back put the defence in good standing.
