Career mode has been one of the most exciting modes in EA Sports FC. The manager career mode lets the players build their team or be the manager of an existing squad.
Rebuilding an existing team and bringing it back to its glory is a great accomplishment as a manager in career mode. Many teams need help and it would be a great opportunity for you to showcase your manager tactics.
Here, we’re going through the best teams to rebuild in career mode. For this reason, the OutsiderGaming (OG) editorial team has put together a guide to this position in the latest soccer sim video game release: EA Sports FC 2024! Also, don’t forget to read more about EA FC 24 on OutsiderGaming today.
1. Manchester United
Attack: 82, Midfield: 84, Defence: 82
Overall: 83
Best Players: Marcus Rashford (OVR 84), Alejandro Garnacho (OVR 74), Bruno Fernandes (OVR 88)
Transfer Budget: £268 million
Wage Budget: £755,000
Once a dominating force in the Premier League, Manchester United has faced a heavy setback in recent years. The team has won 20 Premier league titles to go along with three Champions League trophies. However, the club has yet to reach its expected position in the Premier League and Champions League competition.
In the previous season, they finished 3rd on the table with 75 points and got eliminated from the Champions League group stage to the Europa League where they lost in the quarter final in a 5-2 aggregate to Spanish side Sevilla.
Manchester United have a transfer budget of £163 million and a wage budget of £629,000. With a huge budget to utilise, they can bring in any player of their choice.
Manchester United have great players like Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, Bruno Fernandes and Anthony Martial and I believe they’re the perfect team to manage in EA Sports FC24 career mode.
2. Chelsea
Attack: 78, Midfield: 81, Defence: 79
Overall: 82
Best Players: Mykhailo Mudryk (OVR 75), Nicolas Jackson (OVR 78), Raheem Sterling (OVR 83)
Transfer Budget: £182 million
Wage Budget: £450,000
Chelsea is one of the oldest clubs in English football history. The club had a glorious past, winning the Premier League and Champions League title back in the days. However, with the new management and players, Chelsea soon fell out of the race in English football.
Picking this team up and building it to be the best in the Premier League can be challenging but quite enjoyable. Manchester City has long been the dominating force in the Premier League, and a perfect manager like you can be the one to dethrone the Cityzens.
In the previous season, Chelsea finished 12th on the table after only managing 1 win and 2 draws, while sustaining 6 losses, in their nine league games under Frank Lampard.
Chelsea have great players like Mykhailo Mudryk, Nicolas Jackson, Raheem Sterling and Enzo Fernandez and I believe they’re another perfect team to manage in EA Sports FC24 career mode.
3. Sevilla
Attack: 80, Midfield: 81, Defence: 80
Overall: 80
Best Players: Youssef En-Nesyri (OVR 82), Dodi Lukébakio (OVR 79), Ivan Rakitić (OVR 81)
Transfer Budget: £50 million
Wage Budget: £300,000
Sevilla has often come close to the LaLiga title, but mostly failed to close it. Sevilla have won the UEFA Cup/Europa League seven times, the most of any club.
The squad has some fantastic and promising players, but it might need some rework. With some new tactics that suit their playstyle, you can make Sevilla one of the strongest teams in the Spanish League. You might even win them their long-desired LaLiga title.
Under Unai Emery’s coaching, Sevilla defeated Benfica on penalties in the 2014 UEFA Europa League Final to claim their third trophy in the competition. In 2015, they were again Europa League champions after defeating Dnipro 3–2 in the Final. The next year, they won the Europa League facing Liverpool in a 3-1 win.
Sevilla have some tremendous talents that are worth building around. With the likes of Youssef En-Nesyri who has an 82 overall rating and an 83 potential rating, other players like Dodi Lukébakio, Suso and Ivan Rakitić have a potential rating of 80 or higher in EA FC24 career mode.
4. Leicester
Attack: 73, Midfield: 76, Defence: 75
Overall: 79
Best Players: Iheanacho (OVR 76), Vardy (OVR 78), Mavididi (OVR 76)
Transfer Budget: £60 million
Wage Budget: £273,000
After accomplishing the impossible of winning the Premier League 2015-16 season, many expected Leicester to keep up their performance. Unfortunately, the team crumbled after most of their star players, like Mahrez, Kante, and Chillwell, left to join bigger clubs. The team has been struggling since then and got relegated to the Championship division.
The team definitely needs a rebuild and this is where you come in as your initial challenge and objective would be to get the team promoted back to the Premier League and also compete to win the Premier League title the next season.
Their previous season has to be one of the most humiliating seasons in the history of the club as they finished 18th on the table and got relegated alongside Leeds United and Southampton. Currently the club is topping the Championship division in the 2023/2024 season.
Leicester is one of the best Career Mode options due to their potential ability. Players such as Iheanacho, Vardy and Mavididi still have what it takes to take the club back to its glory days with your help of course.
5. Juventus
Attack: 82, Midfield: 80, Defence: 79
Overall: 83
Best Players: Kean (OVR 78), Chiesa (OVR 84), McKennie (OVR 76)
Transfer Budget: £172 million
Wage Budget: £555,000
Juventus a few years ago were the giants of Serie A winning the League titles back to back. I mean the team won ten consecutive Serie A titles from 2011 to 2019. However, from that season on, Juventus has experienced a setback in their tactics and team performance.
With a squad consisting of some promising talents like Kean, Chiesa and McKennie and an opportunity to build, taking Juventus back to the trophy winning form would be a gratifying challenge as a manager of the club.
Juventus have a transfer budget of £99 million and a wage budget of £411,000. With an already loaded squad, the transfer budget may be best utilised to upgrade the players stats.
The pace of Kean, is still lethal and will provide plenty of goals before his reaching his potential rating. The ever-stable Rabiot’s strength and ability in the middle of the park will also provide solidity in your midline. Do you think you have what it takes to carry the team? If so then Juventus is the perfect pick for you.
6. FC Barcelona
Attack: 85, Midfield: 84, Defence: 83
Overall: 83
Best Players: Pedri (OVR 86), Gavi (OVR 83), João Felix
(OVR 81)
Transfer Budget: £178 million
Wage Budget: £658,000
FC Barcelona’s history includes multiple La Liga titles and UEFA Cup wins. However, recent years have been turbulent as they’ve failed to win trophies like they used to. Managing Barcá would be about restoring glory, and nurturing young talents.
Luckily, the club has hidden gems in the form of De Jong, João Felix, Gavi, Araujo and Pedri, who have the drive to take their team back to its glory days. In addition to that, there is a good mix of youngsters and old players, making the team well-balanced.
Barcelona have a transfer budget of £111.83 million and a wage budget of £734,000. With such a budget you can still choose to bring in more youngsters or change your coaching squad.
FC Barcelona will undoubtedly be one of the most fun teams to rebuild in the EA Sports FC24 career mode as you take the team back to its winning ways.
So with this list of teams to rebuild in EA FC24, do you think you have what it takes in terms of scouting and tactics to rebuild and improve their performance? If so then have at it as I’ll see you in the next guide.
