EA Sports FC 24: The Best French Ligue 1 Team Builds for Ultimate Team

The French Ligue 1 hosts the nation’s 18 elite football clubs, and naturally, it consists of stars that a good chunk of EA Sports FC 24 player base swears by. Kylian Mbappe, David Ginola, Kolo Muani, and Marquinhos are but a few that represent the best of the best. Given this, many players undertake the challenge of creating Ligue 1-only teams. It can take a while to get the top cards, but there are also footballers present at various price ranges that certainly make this task easier.

EA Sports FC 24: Complete Guide

A complete guide to EA Sports FC 24, featuring information about every new mechanic and the best players to sign in Career Mode and Ultimate Team.

Given that the team builds recommended here consist entirely of Ligue 1 cards, the chemistry is as high as it can go. There are a few points that need to be noted: the prices mentioned may change due to market volatility, and SBC-only footballers have been skipped, as not everyone can get them. Furthermore, French Ligue 1 has a huge roster in EA Sports FC 24, and players may prefer cards that are not mentioned here. This can boil down to personal preference and playstyle familiarity.

The Best Cheap French Ligue 1 Team in EA Sports FC 24 (~18k coins)

The lower ranks consist mostly of players who rely on speed and running with the ball rather than skill moves and dribbling. From attack to defense, this French Ligue 1 team in EA Sports FC has a good overall pace to mount a challenge against any opponent.

Keeping this in mind, Kolo Muani and Ben Yedder are the most suitable strikers possible. Muani can get past the defense line at a blistering pace and can either take the shot or pass it to Yedder for a better lay-up. The two also have good dribbling and passing stats and playstyles, which can drum up a good number of shots at goal.

Martin Terrier and Marco Asensio do a wonderful job as the LM and RM, and the latter even has the Incisive Pass and the Whipped playstyle, making for great passes further up the field. Terrier has pretty good pace and the Aerial playstyle, so having him go forward on runs and lend support will bring in more attacking power.

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.

Teji Savanier may not have decent shooting, but his plethora of passing playstyles make him an easy choice for a CAM. Plus, his Dead Ball can come in really handy in set pieces. Meanwhile, Geoffrey Kondogbia’s presence as a CDM makes a wealth of difference to the defensive power, with his high physicality being a deterrent to many attackers in EA Sports FC 24.

Nuno Mendes is great as the LB, just as Jonathan Clauss is as an RB. The two don’t have as high defensive stats as other footballers do, but their pace is what nets them a place in this French Ligue 1 team. Adding a Shadow chem style will buff up their meager defense and already stellar pace, which will be crucial in stopping attacks from the wings. Further, they can also easily funnel attackers toward Kevin Danso and Presnel Kimpembe, two absolute walls on the backline. Not only do the two CBs have high physicality and defense, but they also have good jumping stats that can stop aerial plays.

Anthony Lopes is a pretty decent GK at this level, and he has excellent positioning, reflexes, and diving numbers.

The Best Medium Budget French Ligue 1 Team in EA Sports FC 24 (~113k coins)

Creating this medium-budget French Ligue 1 team would’ve been very difficult before, but the onslaught of promos and refreshed cards has made the task very affordable in EA Sports FC 24. Not only is this line-up very cheap, but it is also great in terms of overall stats and staying power.

Ben Yedder retains his place as one of the strikers, with Kolo Muani moving to RM. Things are looking up with Alexandre Lacazette coming in as the second ST, especially with his Technical and Finesse Shot playstyles. While he doesn’t have a PS+, the standard variants are still very good on the field.

EA Sports FC 24: The Best Bundesliga Team Builds for Ultimate Team

Creating Bundesliga team builds in EA Sports FC 24 for different price ranges is a great challenge, but it can consistently bring in great wins.

Although Ivan Calaeiro’s FC Pro Live card hasn’t received an upgrade, he can easily help create chances with his great pace and dribbling. Unlike Muani, he comes with decent shooting stats as well, helpful on the off-chance that the STs and CAM are being closely marked. Since he also has the Power Header playstyle in EA Sports FC 24, he can be clutch in set pieces. Meanwhile, Aleksandr Golovin is a smashing CAM. Yes, his shooting stats are a bit low, but he comes with a long list of passing and dribbling playstyles, easily adding to his assist count. He also has very good aggression and stamina, which allow him to play at maximum potential until way late into the game.

Maxence Caqueret is a must-have in this French Ligue 1 team. He comes with a decent pace and even better dribbling stats, but his physicality is what makes him a no-nonsense CDM. This Triple Threat card comes with 99 Stamina and 96 Aggression, the highest in the roster, and this allows players to not only have him run all day long but also easily body attackers and win back possession.

Nuno Mendes retains his place as the LB, with Achraf Hakimi coming in as the RB. The latter has even better defense, pace, and physical than Clauss, which cements his place at this level of the competition. Both Mendes and Hakimi can cut down opponent moves and even function as fullbacks to add support on attacks. Their high speed and passing playstyles come in very handy.

EA Sports FC 24: The Best Saudi League Team Builds for Ultimate Team

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

Dante’s Trailblazer card comes with a slower pace, but his defense and physicality make up for it. He comes with the Anticipate PS+ and a couple of other playstyles, adding to his potential on the field, but players should add a Shadow chem style to improve his numbers. Meanwhile, Samuel Umtiti’s 86 rated Thunderstruck card comes with very high speed, defense, and physicality, all thanks to the upgrades received for LOSC Lille’s two recent wins.

Gianluigi Donnaruma is the best GK card in EA Sports FC 24‘s French Ligue 1 right now. His stats, 90 Diving, 82 Handling, 89 Reflexes, and 83 Positioning, will save many, many goals at this level of the competition and even all the way to the absolute top.

The Best High Budget French Ligue 1 Team in EA Sports FC 24 (~1.3m coins)

This high-budget French Ligue 1 team may take players some time to build, but the results will be worth it, and they won’t need to make any tweaks for a good while. All the EA Sports FC 24 cards mentioned here aren’t in the same price range — such as Trailblazer Golovin costing around 13k coins, while FC Pro Live Muani costs around 600k — but their impact on the field cannot be denied.

This Kolo Muani card comes with much, much better stats than its gold variant, with pace, shooting, and dribbling being the key upgrades. He also comes with two more playstyles, Aerial and Acrobatic, which can make a great impact when paired with precise crosses. Meanwhile, Papin serves as the co-striker, and he comes with much better shooting stats than Muani. He also has the Power Shot PS+, which, while not as broken as the Finesse Shot PS+, is still great.

EA Sports FC 24: The Best La Liga Team Builds for Ultimate Team

La Liga has a lot of elite footballers, and creating a team with them in EA Sports FC 24 can make almost any player a consistent performer.

Ivan Cavaleiro retains his place from the previous team, acting as a great supporting LM in EA Sports FC 24. Aleksandr Golovin is back as well, and though it may seem odd to see an 85 and an 84 rated card in this line-up, the two are absolutely amazing for going past opponents and creating chances at the goal.

Base Hero Ludovic Giuly may not have the best stats across the board, but he has pretty good speed and dribbling, further enhanced by various playstyles. He also has Relentless, which is very handy for any footballer, especially one who’ll be running on the sides. Meanwhile, Nemanja Matic helps bolster the backline as the CDM, adding his decent pace, high defense, and physicality stats to the mix.

Deiver Machado’s RTTK card serves as the LB in this French Ligue 1 team. While his pace and physicality are already pretty good, a Shadow chem style would be ideal to improve his defense and bolster his speed even further. The 88 Stamina is a big help as well. Jonathan Clauss’ RTTK has blistering pace, and the Relentless playstyle makes him a veritable machine. Although his strength and aggression are on the lower side, adding a Shadow chem style to enhance his pace and defense instead will make him the best RB in French Ligue 1.

Meanwhile, Marquinhos and Presnel Kimpembe bring in excellent defending and physicality numbers. Their pace is not bad either, which practically makes them quick walls on defense. They also have the Intercept and Bruiser PS+ respectively, along with great aerial prowess. This helps them stop goals quite easily from the ground as well as overhead. The two also have great stamina, which ensures they’ll be in top shape until way late into a match.

The Most Expensive French Ligue 1 Team in EA Sports FC 24 (~9.8m coins)

The best and most expensive French Ligue 1 team in EA Sports FC 24 will naturally have Kylian Mbappe and David Ginola. Arguably the two best strikers in the game, they have a place in almost every team in the professional scene.

Ginola comes with 5-star skill moves and 5-star weak foot, along with Technical PS+, First Touch, Quick Step, and Flair. He naturally has some of the best stats in the game, and adding a Hunter chem style, for example, boosts his pace to 98 and shooting to 94. Meanwhile, Mbappe’s Trailblazer card comes with the Power Shot PS+, along with Rapid, Flair, Quick Step, and Trivela. Both come with unbeatable stats, and having the two takes the attacking power to the highest level possible.

EA Sports FC 24: The Best Serie A Team Builds for Ultimate Team

Italy’s top league, Serie A, has some great teams in EA Sports FC 24, and players can create some stellar lineups even at different prices ranges.

Ivan Cavaleiro retains his place once again, showing that he has what it takes to be in the top flight of French Ligue 1. Meanwhile, Kolo Muani is back as well, but this time as the RM. He’s mostly not going to be the one taking shots when Ginola and Mbappe are present as strikers, but his pace and dribbling still come in clutch when getting the ball past the defense. Abedi Pele marks his place in this team as the CAM, replacing Aleksandr Golovin in the Starting 11. Another fast player on the team, he has the Rapid PS+ as well, along with Incisive Pass, Quick Step, and more. He can also function great on the sides, but with better passing and dribbling, CAM is the best spot for him in this EA Sports FC 24 team.

Meanwhile, Machado, Matic, Kimpembe, Clauss, and Donnarumma retain their cards here. Their pace, defense, and physicality speak for themselves, and there is no one better than them in these spots in the French Ligue 1.

The only other change here is Marquinhos’ Trailblazer card instead of standard gold. Instead of the Intercept PS+, this variant comes with Anticipate PS+. Being a special card, it also comes with improved stats. Since it also comes in around 300k coins, about 280k more, it can be quite a bit of a stretch for any non-P2W player to explain buying him outright instead of packing him.
