You’ll want to build teams not only with the best ratings, but with good potential and who work with your other players.
Here are the best 10 players for each position in EA Sports FC 24.
Best goalkeepers – EA FC 24

Courtois has maintained his position at the top, but doesn’t have the best potential to grow.
If you’re looking for an investment, you can go for the lower-rated players like Donnarumma and Kobel, and grow them to hit the max position.
Best left backs – EA FC 24
- João Cancelo – 86 OVR, 86 Potential
- Andrew Robertson – 86 OVR, 86 Potential
- David Alaba – 85 OVR, 85 Potential
- Marcos Acuña – 85 OVR, 85 Potential
- Theo Hernández – 85 OVR, 90 Potential
- Yannick Carrasco – 84 OVR, 84 Potential
- Grimaldo – 84 OVR, 84 Potential
- Lucas Hernández – 84 OVR, 85 Potential
- Jordi Alba Ramos – 83 OVR, 83 Potential
- Nacho Fernández – 83 OVR, 83 Potential
Despite Cancelo losing two points in OVR this year, he remains the best left-back alongside Robertson.

However, Hernández’s whopping 90 potential makes him seem worthwhile if you have the time.
Best right backs – EA FC 24
- Joshua Kimmich – 88 OVR, 89 Potential
- João Cancelo – 86 OVR, 86 Potential
- Trent Alexander-Arnold – 86 OVR, 88 Potential
- Ronald Araujo – 86 OVR, 91 Potential
- Kieran Trippier – 85 OVR, 85 Potential

- Giovanni Di Lorenzo – 85 OVR, 85 Potential
- Jules Koundé – 85 OVR, 89 Potential
- Kyle Walker – 84 OVR, 84 Potential
- Niklas Süle – 84 OVR, 86 Potential
Kimmich has overtaken Alexander-Arnold with not only a better overall rating but more potential too.
Araujo and Koundé are also great picks for those who have more time to reach this higher rating.
Best centre backs – EA FC 24
- Virgil van Dijk – 89 OVR, 89 Potential
- Rúben Dias – 89 OVR, 90 Potential
- Marquinhos – 87 OVR, 88 Potential
- Matthijs de Ligt – 86 OVR, 89 Potential
- Éder Militão – 86 OVR, 89 Potential
- Ronald Araujo – 86 OVR, 91 Potential
- David Alaba – 85 OVR, 85 Potential
- Raphaël Varane – 85 OVR, 85 Potential
- John Stones – 85 OVR, 86 Potential
- Antonio Rüdiger – 85 OVR, 85 Potential
Unsurprisingly, Van Dijk remains in the top spot, but you might want to choose Dias for the higher rating in potential.
Much like with right-backs, Araujo makes a great centre-back with good potential.
Best midfielders – EA FC 24
- Kevin De Bruyne – 91 OVR, 91 Potential
- Lionel Messi – 90 OVR, 90 Potential
- Casemiro – 89 OVR, 89 Potential
- Rodri – 89 OVR, 90 Potential
- Bruno Fernandes – 88 OVR, 88 Potential
- Joshua Kimmich – 88 OVR, 89 Potential
- Bernardo Silva – 88 OVR, 88 Potential
- Federico Valverde – 88 OVR, 92 Potential
- Luka Modric – 87 OVR, 87 Potential
- Martin Ødegaard – 87 OVR, 90 Potential
De Bruyne is another player who continues to dominate, but players like Rodri and Ødegaard have the potential to reach him with the right training.
Also important to point out Valverde who has the possibility to even surpass the Belgian superstar.
Best left wingers – EA FC 24
- Kylian Mbappé – 91 OVR, 94 Potential
- Neymar Jr. – 89 OVR, 89 Potential
- Vinícius Júnior – 89 OVR, 94 Potential
- Heung Min Son – 87 OVR, 87 Potential
- Sadio Mané – 86 OVR, 86 Potential
- Ousmane Dembelé – 86 OVR, 87 Potential
- Rafael Leão – 86 OVR, 91 Potential
- Khvicha Kvaratskhelia – 86 OVR, 92 Potential
- Jamal Musiala – 86 OVR, 93 Potential
- Jack Grealish – 85 OVR, 85 Potential
It’s not unusual to see Mbappé top charts, but Vinícius Júnior is a similarly good pick with the right training.
The one to watch here is Musiala, who starts with a respectable 86, but can climb almost to the top.
Best right wingers – EA FC 24
- Mohamed Salah – 89 OVR, 89 Potential
- Bernardo Silva – 88 OVR, 92 Potential
- Federico Valverde – 88 OVR, 92 Potential
- Riyad Mahrez – 86 OVR, 86 Potential
- Ousmane Dembelé – 86 OVR, 87 Potential
- Bukayo Saka – 86 OVR, 90 Potential
- Khvicha Kvaratskhelia – 86 OVR, 92 Potential
- Domenico Berardi – 85 OVR, 85 Potential
- Kingsley Coman – 85 OVR, 85 Potential
- Phil Foden – 85 OVR, 90 Potential
Salah has seen a one-point dip overall but remains the best right winger in the game.
Saka’s boost has also seen him enter the top ten for the first time, with impressive potential, though Kvaratskhelia is our one to watch for his huge potential.
Best strikers – EA FC 24
- Kylian Mbappé – 91 OVR, 94 Potential
- Erling Haaland – 91 OVR, 94 Potential
- Lionel Messi – 90 OVR, 90 Potential
- Karim Benzema – 90 OVR, 90 Potential
- Robert Lewandowski – 90 OVR, 90 Potential
- Harry Kane – 90 OVR, 90 Potential
- Antoine Griezmann – 88 OVR, 88 Potential
- Victor Osimhen – 88 OVR, 91 Potential
- Lautaro Martínez – 87 OVR, 90 Potential
- Cristiano Ronaldo – 86 OVR, 86 Potential
Mbappé is now matched with Haaland at the top of this list, and it’s unsurprising to see Haaland’s score rise after his impressive last season.
There are a lot of 90+ potential strikers, but we like Osimhen for his potential.
