FC 24 offers gamers a unique opportunity & experience to step into the shoes of a football manager, taking charge of their favourite teams and guiding them to glory
With hundreds of clubs to choose from, the decision of which team to manage can be a daunting one. To help you make the best choice, we’ve compiled a list of the top teams to manage in career mode, considering various factors such as recent success, financial status, tactical vision, and player potential. Also, note that FC 24 Coins play an important role in your progress in the game, so make sure you have enough coins before starting out with the game.
Arsenal
Arsenal, once a dominant force in English football, has experienced a two-decade-long dry spell in terms of league titles. However, recent seasons have shown promise, and with young talents like Bukayo Saka, there’s potential for success. As a manager, you can harness the talents of these young players and strive to bring Arsenal back to the pinnacle of football.
Real Madrid
Real Madrid is synonymous with success in European football, yet they have fallen short of their former glory in recent years. With a squad filled with young talents such as Vinicius Junior & Jude Bellingham, managing Real Madrid provides an opportunity to rebuild and return the club to its past dominance.
Dortmund
Borussia Dortmund is a perennial powerhouse in the German Bundesliga but has often been overshadowed by Bayern Munich. The club is known for developing top talents, including Erling Haaland. With the right tactics & strategic signings, you could lead Dortmund to the top of German and European football.
Newcastle
Following a top-4 league performance in the English Premier League for the 2022–2023 season, Newcastle is officially returning to the big game. This is the most appropriate moment in many years to be a Newcastle supporter, as the wise (and hefty) investment from the Saudi Arabian government’s Public Investment Fund is beginning to pay off. When you take over as manager of Newcastle in FC 24, the team has to let go with the manager who got them this far, so you have a lot of work ahead of you to prove that you can match or even exceed Eddie Howe’s record of success in his comparatively short tenure with the team.
Your play in the UEFA Champions- League will be your first real test but you also need to make sure that the team can go forward and often challenge the league’s top teams.
Chelsea
Chelsea boasts a star-studded squad with immense depth & potential. However, they have struggled to find consistency despite significant investment. As a manager, your challenge will be to bring this talented group of players together & transform them into a title-winning team.
Napoli
Napoli’s recent league success has given them a taste of glory but they face stiff competition from other Italian giants. Managing Napoli allows you to build on their achievements and guide the club to sustained success, especially with the likes of Victor Osimhen leading the line.
Al-Nassr
Selecting just one Saudi Pro League squad was difficult, but Al Nassr stood out because of their strong core and eight players who had ratings of 80 or higher. While it would have been simple to overlook some of the summer’s transfers to Saudi Arabia, it’s possible that players like Seko Fofana, David Ospina, and Anderson Talisca went unnoticed. Of course, Sadio Mane (ranked 86) and Cristiano Ronaldo (rated 86) are both standouts on the team.
For anyone who wants to take the helm, this team can arguably compete in the most of European Leagues, offering an interesting Career Mode.
Inter Miami
The arrival of Lionel Messi has transformed Inter Miami from a struggling MLS team into a formidable force. With Messi as your cornerstone, a few strategic signings, & improvements to the team’s weak areas, you have the opportunity to turn Inter Miami into one of the best teams in the world.
Bayern Munich
The German champions, a titan of European football, had to be included. Only new addition Harry Kane (ranked 89) has added to their already formidable talent-filled lineup. Plus, “Die Bayern” have a total of seven players with overall rating of 85 or higher, so their domestic campaign should be pretty simple for whoever manages them.
The true test of success in Munich, though, is European victory. With six victories, Bayern has cemented their place as the third-most famous club in the competition’s history & will always be associated with it. To further enhance the benefits of what ought to be considered a Career Mode for novices, this mode will also come with a sizable transfer budget, which is much larger than that of any domestic competitor.
Manchester City
Manchester City is already one of the most dominant teams in FC 24, boasting world-class players like Erling Haaland. As a manager, you’ll need to maintain the club’s success, making it a relatively less challenging but highly enjoyable career mode choice for those who want to manage top-tier talent.
PSG
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) tops our list as the best team to manage in career mode. While they have enjoyed domestic success they have yet to be crowned European champions. With talents like Kylian Mbappe & Ousmane Dembele, the PSG’s squad is brimming with potential. As a manager your goal will be to take the club to the pinnacle of European football & cement their status as the best club in Europe & in the world.
