Given how much time players can sink into the game mode, choosing the best Career Mode team inEA Sports FC 24will likely be high on most players' agendas. Some players might want to take a lower league team and guide them to the top tier, while others may prefer taking the reigns at an already established club and building a squad capable of winning trophies for years to come.

Chelsea

On the pitch, things haven’t been looking all that great forChelseaover the past season or so. However, Todd Boehly clearly has a plan, having brought in a ridiculous amount of young talent since becoming chairman of the club in June of 2022. Granted, the players that he’s signed have come at an enormous cost and will likely take time to realize their full potential, but this is arguably what makes Chelsea one of the best teams to manage inEA Sports FC 24’s Career Mode. The fact that they have a fairly decent transfer budget also helps a lot.

Real Madrid

In Bellingham, Valverde, Camavinga, and Tchouameni, Real Madrid arguably have four ofthe best midfielders in world football. What makes this all the more impressive is the fact that all four of those players are aged 25 or under, with Bellingham and Camavinga being just 20 at the start of the 23-24 season. It’s not just in midfield either. The club has a lot of exciting young players on its books, and while Real could probably do with a proven goalscorer, the Spanish giants have everything else required to dominate both Spain and Europe for years to come.

Manchester City

While on the subject of domination,Manchester Cityhad an incredible 22-23 season, sweeping aside all that stood before them on their way to a historic treble. When it comes to securing instant success, Manchester City is arguably the best Career Mode club to manage inEA Sports FC 24. Long-term success isn’t out of the question either, as although one or two key players may only have a few more years left at the highest level, the likes of Haaland, Alvarez, Foden, and Grealish should all have at least another decade’s worth of gas left in the tank.

Wrexham

Those looking for more of a fairytale success story may want to consider Wrexham. After being purchased byHollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, the club secured promotion back to the football league after a decade and a half of non-league football and has started the 23-24 season in fine form as well. Alternatively, players may want to consider Notts Counts, who also gained promotion to League 2 last season and did so without the financial contributions of two world-famous celebrities.

Al Nassr

Ronaldo may have opened the way to the Saudi League, but it was probably theridiculous amounts of oil money being splashed aroundthat guided players there. That the most recent Balon D’or winner is plying his trade in the Middle East is a testament to that, as too is the ridiculous amount of top talent that made its way to the region ahead of the 23-24 season. Surprisingly, the Saudi teams don’t actually have huge transfer budgets inEA Sports FC 24, but those who want to witness the continued rise of the league firsthand can do so by managing a team like Al Nassr, Al Ahli, or Al Ittihad.
