EA Sports FC 24: Best Attacking Icons In Ultimate Team

Strong attack-focused players in EA Sports FC 24 Ultimate Team can make or break a game. Here are the best Attacking Icons to obtain.

The range of options means that all players, rich or poor, can acquire one. With this in mind, it is important to rank the best hero cards in FC 24 with the whole range of cards in mind and only use individual players once.

8 Ledley King (Triple Threat, 87 Ovr)

A Surprisingly Good Defensive Option

FC 24 Ledley King real life
  • Pace: 82
  • Defending: 90
  • Physical: 81

Originally a player SBC and now occasionally available through randomized player pick SBCs, Ledley King spent his entire career playing for Tottenham Hotspur in a 13-year spell consistently hampered by injury.

Despite this, he is worthy of his surprisingly good card here as his base stats are supported by the Anticipate Playstyle Plus which will allow him to read the game far more effectively than others. Players can even pick up his base version for around 25k coins if they missed the original SBC.

7 Ramires (UCL Hero, 87 Ovr)

An All Round Midfield Player

FC 24 Ramires real life
  • Pace: 89
  • Defending: 85
  • Physical: 85

The Chelsea cult hero most famous for his goal in the 2012 Champions League Semi-Finals has, what is most likely, the most expensive 87-rated card on FC 24. Ramires is incredibly versatile, and fast, and will break up opposition attacks with relative ease. His Intercept Playstyle Plus only helps him to do more and more.

Most Ultimate Team players apply a Shadow chemistry style to Ramires to boost his defending and pace to get the most out of his core strengths.

6 Antonio Di Natale (Base, 88 Ovr)

Beautifully Meta

Antonio Di Natale
  • Pace:90
  • Shooting: 91
  • Dribbling: 90

Di Natale is currently a wonderfully affordable option for the majority of players at around 150k coins. He excels at almost every part of attacking: his finishing and acceleration are 92 with his balance and ball control at 91. He is clinical and will glide around the pitch as players are controlling him.

He also has the effective Finesse shot playstyle plus which is far and away the best attacking playstyle plus to have on FC 24 despite numerous supposed nerfs.

5 Lucio (Base, 89 Ovr)

Nicknamed 'The Horse' In Real Life

FC 24 Lucio real life
  • Pace: 82
  • Defending: 91
  • Physical: 89

Known to fans as 'The Horse' due to his long galloping runs on the ball despite being a defender, Lucio reached the pinnacle of club and international football by winning the World Cup and Champions League with Brazil and Inter Milan respectively. His Hero card, released at the start of the game, still stands up as one of the best in his position.

His medium/high work rates and Block Playstyle Plus will see Lucio attempt to close down the ball quickly and is an especially good option for players who defend aggressively.

4 Bompastor (Fantasy Hero, 91 Ovr)

Best In Class

FC 24 Bompastor real life
  • Pace: 92
  • Defending: 88
  • Dribbling: 91

The first person to win the Women's Champions League as a player and manager, Bompastor has arguably the best left-back card on FC 24. Her high passing and shooting stats, 90 and 88, also allow her to play as a winger when and if players desire.

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.

Although she has two Playstyle Pluses, Relentless is key here as it allows her to run up and down the wing all game long without any significant drawback.

3 Carlos Tevez (UCL Hero, 90 Ovr)

Less Divisive Than Real Life

FC 24 Tevez real life
  • Pace:88
  • Shooting: 91
  • Dribbling: 89

His career in England is perhaps best remembered for his controversial move from Manchester United to rivals Manchester City in 2009 but his card is less divisive. Players will unanimously agree that his card is one of the best strikers that money can buy.

His 5-star skills and 4-star weak foot only add to what is a stunningly quick and strong player who is deadly in finishing in the box. His Technical Playstyle Plus only makes him even quicker with the ball at his feet.

2 Yaya Toure (Triple Threat, 88 Ovr)

Over Achiever In-Game

FC 24 Yaya Toure real life
  • Passing:87
  • Shooting: 84
  • Dribbling: 85

Coming at well over a million coins, Yaya Toure's Triple Threat variant performs far beyond what his base stats state. The majority of players apply a Shadow chemistry style to turn Toure into an exceptional performer in every aspect of midfield.

EA Sports FC 24: The Best Premier League Team Builds For Ultimate Team

Here are four Premier League team builds with differing price ranges for EA Sports FC 24 Ultimate Team.

He feels very smooth and easy to use and will be able to glide past opposition players in large part thanks to his Press ProvenPlaystyle Plus and this is despite his relatively poor agility and balance. It is something of a mystery as to why so well, therefore, but players shouldn't question it.

1 David Ginola (Base, 89 Ovr)

Value For Money

FC 24 Ginola real life
  • Pace:90
  • Shooting: 88
  • Dribbling: 91

Although this list could contain one of Ginola's other variants, this version offers the best value in terms of the level of ability to the total cost. Coming in at around 1/5 of his Triple Threat variant cost, the base version of Ginola is still a brilliant option for any player's team.

His 5-star skills and weak foot are great tools that should be exacerbated by the player by applying a Hunter chemistry style to increase his pace and shooting.
