FC 24: Best Premier League Team Of The Season Cards

Highlights

• TOTS cards give gamers access to top players, but most are pricey. Mac-Allister is a budget-friendly option at 88k coins.
• Cole Palmer is a Young Player of the Year with high stats. Expect numerous goals with his left-footed finesse shots.
• Phil Foden may be underrated in his TOTS rating, but his dribbling skills make him a top choice for attackers in EA Sports FC 24.

With another Premier League season having come to an end, EA Sports is back with their annual Team of the Season (TOTS) and the accompanying special cards that are added to Ultimate Team. Subject to a fan vote, a full squad of eleven first-team players and six substitutes have been chosen from across six different teams.

As one would expect, many of these players are sought after and very expensive. Unless players get lucky in packs, they may only be able to afford a single player off the market. As such, this topic will help players nail down which of the seventeen players is the best and worth spending all their coins on.

8 Alexis Mac-Allister

Very Affordable

• Shooting: 91
• Passing: 92
• Dribbling: 93

After an excellent debut season for Liverpool after a summer 2023 move from Brighton, Alexis Mac-Allister has been rightfully granted a good TOTS card. With strong passing and excellent shooting, he is surprisingly effective, and with an anchor chemistry style applied, his defending, pace, and physicality can all hit 90.

A very good option for newer players or those low on money, he costs around 88,000 coins at the time of writing and is well worth the money even if he won’t set the world alight.

7 Cole Palmer

Young Player Of The Year

• Pace: 95
• Shooting: 92
• Dribbling: 93

The recently crowned Young Player of the Year, Cole Palmer was one of the league’s most consistent performers for a team that often underperformed. With very high pace, shooting, and dribbling, he is a very effective attacker.

As a left-footed player cutting in off the right, his Finesse Shot Plus will enable players to score countless goals with him in this way. Having scored all of his penalties in real life in the 23-24 season, a 99-rated penalty stat is an added bonus.

6 Phil Foden

The Player Of The Year

• Pace: 94
• Shooting: 91
• Dribbling: 96

Despite receiving the exclusive accolade of Player of the Season, Phil Foden’s TOTS card is rated a touch lower than it ought to have been. Despite this, he is one of the best dribblers that players will use in FC 24 with 99 acceleration and an overall dribbling stat of 96.

His playstyle plus’Tiki Taka and Technical encourage a quick style of play and with 93 finishing, he is no slouch in front of the goal. His ability to play across the front line is also appreciated.

5 Bukayo Saka

Arsenal’s Star Boy

• Pace: 95
• Shooting: 92
• Dribbling: 96

One of the best performers in the Premier League for a few years now, Saka will be especially effective for players looking to attack defenders to the by-line and make crosses into the box. He is just as effective at cutting inside with his left foot and finessing the ball into the far corner.

A very similar card to Foden, Saka’s TOTS card is excellent due to the Manchester City man having a 5-star weak foot (which enables him to go both ways more effectively) and the ability to go for longer with the Relentlessplaystyle plus.

4 Rodri

The Key To Sucess

• Pace: 89
• Defending: 96
• Physicality: 94

The best defensive midfield player in the world in real life, Rodri’s abilities have been properly reflected in the game. With 94 defending and 96 physicality, he can stop any and all types of attacks.

Improving on this ability to tackle and intercept is the pace at which Rodri can get around the pitch. A Shadow chemistry style will get his pace up to 95. If all of this wasn’t enough, he can get a goal for players with the 96 long shots and 99 shot power that reflect his real-life capabilities.

3 Mohamed Salah

One Of The Old Guard

• Pace: 95
• Shooting: 95
• Dribbling: 95

Having been one of the best wingers in the world for some time, Salah had a good to great season by his lofty standards in 23-24. With the Finesse Shot Playstyle, TOTS Salah is a goal machine who can score from anywhere in and around the box.

Salah is a goal scorer through and through, which is supported by incredible dribbling and pace stats. 95 acceleration, the First Touch playstyle plus, and 94 ball control will have defenders fearing for their lives.

2 Virgil Van Dijk

One Of The Best Cards Ever

• Pace: 92
• Defending: 97
• Physicality: 94

Certainly the best defender in FC 24 and arguably in the history of FC/Fifa games, Van Dijk is a brick wall of a defender. He is incredibly quick with 92 pace, tall at 6ft 4in, and has exceptional defending stats. It is no wonder that he is priced astonishingly high for a defender at around 7 million coins.

Two of his three Playstyle Plus’s improve his defending through Jockey and Anticipate, the latter of these improve his already incredible defensive positioning to another level. Van Dijk is so good that the game will do most of the work for players.

1 Erling Haaland

The Ultimate Striker

• Pace: 97
• Shooting: 99
• Dribbling: 92

The Premier League’s top goal-scorer for the second season running, Haaland took the prize by scoring five goals more than his nearest rival. As such, he has been rewarded with an exceptional card that will set players back a cool 10 million if they wish to use it.

No wonder the cost, as Haaland has 97 pace despite standing at a towering 6ft 5in and an overall shooting stat of 99. A 5-star-weak foot will prevent any reduction in quality when shooting with his right foot. Headers, volleys, left foot or right, Haaland can, and will, score them all.
