EA Sports has recently released their FC 24 Ultimate Team of the Season, showcasing the top-performing players from various leagues worldwide. Unlike the traditional “best XI” format, this year’s Team of the Season is structured in a new way. The Ultimate TOTS comprises three separate lists based on the best players from the top men’s leagues, the top women’s leagues, and mixed leagues featuring outstanding male players from lower tiers. This innovative approach provides a more comprehensive and inclusive representation of the best players in the 2023-24 season.
A notable aspect of the FC 24 Ultimate Team of the Season is the equal spread of players across Europe’s major leagues. The English Premier League, Spain’s LaLiga, and the German Bundesliga each contribute five TOTS players, while Italy’s Serie A and France’s Ligue 1 offer three and two players, respectively. This balanced distribution highlights the diverse talent pool present in the top leagues and emphasizes the competitive nature of football across different regions.
Several prominent clubs have made significant contributions to the FC 24 Ultimate Team of the Season. Real Madrid leads the way with three players (Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Jr, and Federico Valverde) included in the men’s list. Other clubs such as Manchester City, Bayern Munich, Bayer Leverkusen, Liverpool, and AC Milan have also made their mark with two players each. Additionally, the Men’s Mixed Leagues list features star names from various regions, showcasing the global appeal and diversity of football talent.
In the women’s Ultimate Team of the Season, individual club representation is prioritized, with each club contributing only one player. Despite Barcelona’s dominance in the 2023-24 season, Aitana Bonmati is the sole representative from the Catalan side. The inclusion of players from different clubs, such as Chelsea, Portland Thorns, PSG, Kansas City Current, Manchester City, Olympique Lyonnais, and Bayern Munich, reflects the competitive nature of women’s football and the talent spread across various teams.
Iconic Players
Fans of football legends Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo can rejoice as both players have secured a spot in the 2024 Team of the Season under the “Mixed Leagues” category. Despite not competing in top-tier leagues, Messi and Ronaldo have maintained their exceptional performance levels in MLS and the Saudi Pro League, respectively. Their inclusion in the Ultimate TOTS acknowledges their enduring impact on the sport and showcases their continued excellence on the field.
The FC 24 Ultimate Team of the Season also features several surprise inclusions, including players from lesser-known clubs and leagues. Bayer Leverkusen, celebrating their Bundesliga title victory, sees Jeremie Frimpong and Alex Grimaldo making their first appearance in the TOTS. The selection of debutants like Nico Schlotterbeck from Borussia Dortmund, Sávio from Girona, and Aleksandr Golovin from Monaco adds a fresh and unexpected element to the roster, highlighting the diverse talent pool in football.
The EA Sports FC 24 Ultimate Team of the Season offers a comprehensive and diverse selection of top-performing players from around the world. The revamped format, equal distribution of players, club representation, iconic player inclusions, and surprise picks all contribute to making this year’s TOTS a unique and exciting celebration of football talent across different leagues and genders.
