EA FC 24 introduced new features like Evolutions and PlayStyles to Ultimate Team while also refreshing the fan-favorite Career Mode. The mode now lets players establish their tactical identity, hire specialized coaches, and even micromanage training sessions.

Here are the best teams to manage in EA FC 24 Career mode that’ll help you experience the most fun saves.

Manchester City

When it comes to fun, Manchester City has every team beat in EA FC 24 Career Mode. As the manager of Manchester City, you’ll get your hands on a top-tier squad, an incredible budget, and the chance to exert your dominance domestically and on the European stage.

Parma Calcio 1913

There’s nothing like taking a former European giant and restoring them to their former glory. Parma was once competing for European trophies, but financial collapse led them down the path to the lower leagues. Now, they ply their trade in Italy’s Serie B, but after a financial takeover, their goal is to climb back up to the top division.

Admittedly, the project is taking a little longer than expected with a few rough patches along the road. With EA FC 24 Career Mode, you can step in and accelerate the process for a club that has previously housed talents like Gianluigi Buffon, Fabio Cannavaro, and Lilian Thuram.

AFC Ajax

If you’re the type of manager who focuses on developing young players, then Ajax could be your ideal pick in EA FC 24 Career Mode. The Dutch club is renowned around the world for producing top talents who go on to become superstars. With Ajax, you’ll get a chance to shine a light on a revolving door of young talent as they help you compete in the Eredivisie and the Champions League.

Inter Miami CF

Since Messi’s arrival, Inter Miami’s global profile has increased in leaps and bounds. While the signings of Messi, Busquets, Alba, and Luis Suarez are sure to push the club in the right direction, there’s certainly plenty of work to do when it comes to establishing the relatively new Inter Miami CF as an MLS powerhouse.

Al-Nassr FC

Thanks to a summer 2023 window full of high-profile moves, all eyes are on the Saudi Pro League. If you’re looking to dabble with an up-and-coming league in EA FC 24 Career Mode, the Saudi League’s Al-Nassr could be a great place to start. Not only will you be able to utilize Cristiano Ronaldo’s talents, but the immense budget means you can shape the team to fit your style of play.

Brighton & Hove Albion F.C.

If you’re a proud manager, then Brighton might be the way to go in EA FC 24 Career Mode. After an incredibly successful season that saw them finish in sixth, claiming a Europa League spot in the process, Brighton have a lot of work to do to prove they can hang with the Premier League’s elite once more.

As Brighton’s manager, it’ll be your job to up the level and compete domestically and on the European stage. In comparison to the rise of Newcastle United, Brighton do not have a massive budget to reshape their squad, thus you’ll have to stick to their strategy of top-tier scouting and economically savvy signings.

A.C. Milan

With a little push in the right direction, A.C. Milan look poised to reclaim their spot as one of Europe’s elite clubs. After selling Sandro Tonali, they’ve bolstered the squad around superstar Rafael Leao for the 2023/2024 campaign, and you can swoop in at the right time to take them to new heights.

Real Madrid

Similar to Manchester City, a Real Madrid save in EA FC 24 Career Mode is a dream scenario. While you won’t have to work hard to improve the squad, you’ll feel the pressure of upholding the standard of one of the most successful clubs in world football. With the likes of Jude Bellingham, Arda Guler, and Eduardo Camavinga, the future of the club is in expert hands.

RB Leipzig

If the free-flowing attacking football of the Bundesliga is up your alley, then RB Leipzig is the way to go. EA FC 24 Career Mode managers who are in it for the long haul can take advantage of RB Leipzig’s incredible recruitment that has led to a squad full of talented players ready to break out into superstars.

Unfortunately, the club’s business model leads them to sell their emerging stars, but you can change that and make them a global powerhouse on the level of rivals Bayern Munich.

Galatasaray S.K.

Turkish giants Galatasaray are often regarded as the pride of the Süper Lig. The Lions are the most decorated team in Turkish Football, and they remain the only Turkish outfit to lift the Champions League. However, the side have missed out on the league title for two seasons running, and European glory has eluded them for more than 20 years.

This is where you come in. With a squad boasting talents such as Mauro Icardi, Wilfred Zaha, Hakim Ziyech, and Tanguy Ndombele, there’s genuine potential within their ranks. You can attempt to restore this iconic club to its former glory, and maybe even embark on a Champions League run.
