Based upon the published statistics available, we have analysed the data to find the 10 Best Overall Rating EA FC 24 Players. These are the absolute, undisputable best players in the game, perfect for rounding out your career mode team.

10. Neymar Jr
Coming in at #10 on our list of best overall rating EA FC 24 players is Neymar Jr.
With a valuation of €85.5 Million, the 31-year-old Al Hilal left winger has an overall rating of 89. Given his age, he has no growth potential beyond that either unfortunately. However, given that he still remains th 10th ranked player in the game for his overall rating, the lack of potential growth doesn’t really matter.
9. Karim Benzema
Coming in at #9 is former Real Madrid superstar and football veteran, Karim Benzema.
Given his ripe age of 35, Karim will be right near the end of his career when you start your career mode in EA FC 24. However, that allows you a pretty solid bargain for a world class striker to hold onto for your first couple of years. Benzema’s age means you’re able to get him a bargain price of just €44 Million, despite him tying with Neymar Jr. for the 9th place slot with them both holding an 89 overall.
8. Harry Kane
Coming in at #8, we have English superstar and Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane.
With an age of 29 and a value of €119.5 Million, the former Tottenham Hotspurs legend Harry Kane has an overall rating of 90. While his age means that he has no room for potential growth upwards, it still ranks him solidly as one of the very best players around with multiple seasons left before his stats begin to degrade.
7. Robert Lewandowski
With a value of €58 Million, FC Barcelona’s Robert Lewandowski makes our best overall rating EA FC 24 players list in 7th place.
Despite holding the same 90 overall rating as previous entry Harry Kane, Lewandowski starts career mode with just half the cost. This is due to him having a considerably high age. One of the oldest players on this list, Lewandowski is 34 years old.
However, he still has one of the highest overall ratings in the entire game and you can get a solid couple years out of him before the degradation is too much and he becomes a benchwarmer or retiree for a great value price of 58 Million.
6. Thibaut Courtois
The only goalkeeper to make FC 24’s top ten best overall rating players is the exceptional Thibaut Courtois.
Coming in at 6’6″ with a valuation of €63 Million, Courtois is the only goalkeeper in the game with an overall of 90. Whilst he has no growth potential upwards from this, he truly doesn’t need it, as he’s statistically undisputed among FC 24 goalkeepers as the best available.
He’s a very smart purchase for your club too, as at just 31 years old he’s likely to last from the beginning of your career mode until right near the tail end.
5. Lionel Messi
Any discussion of the best football player in the world in the past 20 years have always had to involve one man, Lionel Messi, so it makes perfect sense that even at the ripe old age of 36, he still cracks the top 10 overall ratings in FC 24.
The Argentinian superstar and FC Barcelona legend, Lionel Messi is valued at a cool €41 Million at the beginning of the FC 24 career mode. Whilst you won’t get a particularly long run out of him considering his age, you can hope to keep him around for a couple of seasons before he retires if you’re lucky enough to sign him quickly.
With an overall rating of 90, Lionel Messi is still solidly placed amongst the very best overall rated EA FC 24 players and can make a phenomenal difference to your team, if you can land him.
4. Rodri
Coming in at 4th on our list as one of the very best overall players in EA FC 24 is none other than Manchester City’s Central Defending Midfielder, Rodri.
While he has the same overall 90 rating as a few of the prior entries, Rodri has the advantage of youth on his side. At just 27 years old, he’s the only 90 rated player with the potential to go upwards – Only to 91, but it’s still an improvement – While his age also ensures he can be a key player in your club for the long haul.
Of course, the combination of skill, youth and the upward potential of youth that comes with it makes Rodri the most expensive player on this list so far, coming in with an initial €122.5 Million value.
3. Kevin De Bruyne
The second Manchester City player in a row to make the best overall rated EA FC 24 players, Kevin De Bruyne manages a solid third place on our list.
Despite having the highest overall on this list so far, Kevin De Bruyne actually comes slightly lower priced than our previous entry Rodri due to the age difference. At 32 years old, the central midfielder is valued at just €103 Million.
Considering the quality of the player you get for the price, De Bruyne makes a fantastic buy if you can get him early enough. While he doesn’t have any upward growth potential, he can be a true playmaker for your team and his 91 overall guarantees he can be a key first team player for multiple seasons before degradation truly begins to take hold.
2. Kylian Mbappé
It’s extremely tight between our rankings for 1st and 2nd on this list, however, in the end the #2 position must come to Kylian Mbappé.
At €181.5 Million, Mbappé is one of the most expensive players available in FC 24. However, we believe he’s worth every penny.
You can choose to play Paris Saint Germain superstar in both striker and left winger positions comfortably. As well as this, he has an extremely impressive beginning overall of 91, making him one of only a few very select players in the game to reach such a high number.
However, Mbappé also gets even better over time. At just 24 years old, he can grow another 3 potential overall points up to an immense overall of 94. As well as this, due to his low age, you can comfortably keep him as a key feature of your club from the very beginning to end of your career mode journey.
1. Erling Haaland
Previously voted as the world’s best player, it of course makes sense that we would find Erling Haaland ranked #1 too in a list of the best overall rated EA FC 24 players.
As the highest rated player in the game, Haaland also commands the highest value, being worth a stunning €185 Million. However, if you’re able to secure him for your club, you’ll find yourself with the unequalled best striker in FC 24.
Haaland starts with an overall rating of 91, which over time can claim up to 94, just the same as Mbappé in second place. Where Haaland takes the edge to gain the #1 spot however, is in his age. At just 22 compared to Mbappé’s 24, even if you made it to the very last possible season in your EA career mode he’d still be just 32. The level of value that this allows Haaland to add to your squad over time is insane, since it allows you to purchase him in season 1 (Should you have the exceedingly high budget required, of course) and have the very best striker available from the first days to last days of your career mode.
There truly is just nobody better than Haaland and he takes the spot at #1 on the list.
