LB | 77 | Destiny Udogie | Rare Gold | Tottenham Hotspur | Italy | 700 |
CB | 82 | Manuel Akanji | Rare Gold | Manchester City | Switzerland | 750 |
CB | 83 | Pau Torres | Rare Gold | Aston Villa | Spain | 900 |
CDM | 82 | Alexis Mac Allister | Rare Gold | Liverpool | Argentina | 750 |

CAM | 82 | Dominik Szoboszlai | Rare Gold | Liverpool | Hungary | 750 |

EA Sports FC 24: Underrated Ultimate Team Players For Each Position
Making a good Ultimate Team in EA Sports FC 24 can be expensive. To lessen the blow, players should consider using these underrated players.
Players like Moussa Diaby have dropped in price massively since the launch of the game. Inexperienced players can get the chance to use unbelievable cards as they face other players online. With 95 pace and 86 dribbling, the 85-rated Diaby is a steal for 2,700 coins, and it will take no time for new starters to afford that and put him on either wing.
The defense of this team plays a lot better than their ratings would suggest. Pau Torres and Manuel Akanji form a solid partnership, using their pace and strength to see out opposition attackers. The Darwin Nunez item may just be his base card, but it is still overpowered, using his pace to get in behind and exceptional finishing means it is always a goal when the Uruguayan locks eyes with the goalkeeper. What this team lacks is its defensive prowess in the midfield. For this price range, there aren't too many CDMs that boss the midfield, like the more expensive Declan Rice or Rodri. What they lack in defensive ability they make up for in their great dribbling and passing stats, however.
3 The Best Mid-Range Premier League Team
(328,000 Coins)
Position | Rating | Name | Card Type | Team | Nation | Price |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
GK | 89 | Alisson | Rare Gold | Liverpool | Brazil | 20,250 |
RB | 87 | Tariq Lamptey | Future Stars | Brighton & Hove Albion | Ghana | 32,250 |
LB | 87 | John Arne Riise | UCL Hero | Hero | Norway | 28,250 |
CB | 89 | Virgil van Dijk | Rare Gold | Liverpool | Netherlands | 27,250 |
CB | 89 | Ruben Dias | Rare Gold | Manchester City | Portugal | 20,500 |
CDM | 88 | Trent Alexander-Arnold | TOTY Honorable Mentions | Liverpool | England | 35,500 |
CDM | 91 | Sasa Lukic | UEFA Euro Path To Glory | Fulham | Serbia | 30,250 |
RM | 92 | Michail Antonio | Copa America Path To Glory | West Ham United | Jamaica | 33,000 |
LM | 87 | Mossa Diaby | Versus Fire | Aston Villa | France | 35,750 |
CAM | 92 | Tomas Rosicky | Golazo Hero | Hero | Czech Republic | 35,500 |
ST | 91 | Robbie Keane | Golazo Hero | Hero | Republic of Ireland | 29,000 |
Each player will cost a little more in the mid-price range, but considering how easy it is to build up coins in EA Sports FC 24, this team is still considered a cheap option. At around 20,000-30,000 per player, this is not unrealistic to achieve in a short space of time. The way price ranges work, there aren't too many decent players in the Premier League from 1,000 to 10,000, so gamers will need to spend a bit more to improve their team.

The midfield is where this team shines. UEFA Euro Path To Glory Sasa Lukic and TOTS Honorable Mentions Trent Alexander-Arnold have it all: pace, and fantastic passing range, but can also chip in with goals. The real speed comes from the wings, Copa America Path To Glory Michail Antonio and Versus Fire Moussa Diaby are rapid, and the former could even be used as a striker with his strength and outstanding aerial ability.
Up front is Golazo Hero Robbie Keane who is one of the best finishers in the game and an actual steal for 28,000 coins for a 91-rated striker. Supporting him in the CAM position is the former Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund playmaker and another Golazo Hero Tomas Rosicky whose passing and dribbling will be an asset for any team.

CAM | 92 | Phil Foden | FUT Birthday | Manchester City | England | 156,000 |
ST | 93 | Ivan Toney | UEFA Euro Make Your Mark (SBC) | Brentford | England | 168,750 |
For the FC 24 players with a bit more cash in the bank, this team will cost around 1,300,000 coins to create, but it will be worth it as this side is stacked with a lot of talent! Starting in defense, Alisson Becker gets an upgrade with his TOTS item. The Brazilian is a cat between the sticks and gamers will not need to spend much more on a top goalkeeper. At 86-rated Winter Wildcards Kyle Walker is not as highly rated as some others in this team at right back, but he does need to be. The Manchester City man is rapid and does the defensive job so well. The rest of the defense is filled with pacey, strong and competitive players who are more than worth their around 100,000 coin price tag.

On the wings are FUT Birthday Mykhalio Mudryk and TOTS Mohammed Kudus who bring the raw pace to the side with 97 and 98 respectively. Opposition fullbacks should run in fear.

Kyle Walker also keeps his place at right back, with his UEFA Euro Path To Glory item. It won't come cheap, but this card improves massively on his offensive stats and maxes out his pace to 99. On the opposite flank, Kai Havertz's TOTS Live card can be used as a LB, and it is a good option to do so, as the German's stats have been boosted greatly, including his defensive ones.

EA Sports FC 24: 15 Icons That Are Missing From The Game
These are the legendary players that are missing from EA Sports FC 24 as "Icon" cards. Hopefully, a future title will rectify this issue...
Copa America is underway in real life and Alexis Mac Allister and Rodrigo Bentancur will look to reach the levels that their Ultimate Team suggests as they make the CDM partnership in this 4-2-3-1 formation. All of their base stats are 90 and above. There is nothing that either of them can't do on a soccer field. Cole Palmer has had a sensational season for Chelsea in the Premier League, despite being overlooked by England in Euro 2024. 2,000,000+ coins are what it takes to sign up for Palmer's UEFA Euro Make Your Mark card, the attacking midfielder excels at dribbling and finishing. He can easily chip in with goals in this team.
On the wings, the most expensive card in this team, at around 3,165,000 coins is Bukayo Saka's UEFA Euro Path To Glory item. The 97-rated beast of a card is rapid, and he makes cutting inside on his stronger left foot look like a dream. His finesse shots will beat the keeper every time. On the opposite flank is Liverpool's Luis Diaz with his Copa America Path To Glory item. The Colombian has had his pace and dribbling stats maxed out, beating defenders and creating chances will never be easier. There was only one man who would take the striking position, TOTY, Erling Haaland, he has it all, finishing, aerial ability, strength and pace, and goals will come easy with the Norwegian in the team.
