Click that link to have the mystery explained. FC 24 ushers in a new era for EA Sports football games, so it’s natural to wonder what it does differently – and whether it’s any good. Find out in ourEA Sports FC 24review. Gameplay FC 24 PlayStyles (Image credit: EA) The most exciting new feature sees players given their own individual strengths, much likeMadden 24 X-Factors. It makes someone like James Ward-Prowse usable despite mediocre attributes. See them all on ourFC 24 PlayStyles list. FC 24 ratings (Image credit: EA) There’s a new name atop the FC 24 best players list this year, in Kylian Mbappe. The French speedster just about stays ahead of Erling Haaland – and that battle is going to rage for years to come. See the entire top 30 in ourFC 24 ratingsguide. FC 24 formations (Image credit: EA) Tactical tinkering is critical if you want to find an edge in Division Rivals or the weekend league. Our FC 24 formations guide therefore focusses on four must-try strategies, steering you through the attacking and defensive advantages of each – and the players needed to master them. FC 24 skill moves (Image credit: EA) Each year brings new twists and turns from EA, and this time around the additions include the Flair Rainbow, Flair Nutmeg, and Drag Back Turn. Find out exactly how to do those – and all the returning flicks and spins – in GR’sFC 24 skill movesguide. FC 24 celebrations (Image credit: EA) It’s a huge season forFC 24 celebrations. There are more than 30 new ones this year, with James Tarkowski and Ashley Barnes among the surprise choices to receive their own finishing moves. Click that link to see all of them, both old and new. FC 24 stadiums (Image credit: EA) The new era sees a couple of generic grounds disappear, and we also say farewell to Malaga’s home turf. However, there are an impressive 12 newFC 24 stadiums, including Udinese, Lille, and Luton Town – although the latter will be in a future update. Ultimate Team FC 24 meta (Image credit: EA) As ever, this year’s meta splits the community. Some love deploying OP tactics and cards, while others consider it tantamount to cheating. Wherever your stand, ourFC 24 metaguide is an essential read, showcasing the most on-trend players, tactics, and formations. FC 24 Team Of The Year (Image credit: EA) Team Of The Year is always the biggie when it comes to Ultimate Team, andFC 24 TOTYdid not disappoint. Indeed, this year we got two full teams, with women’s players featured for the first time – as well as bonus cards for Alexandra Popp and some lad called Cristiano Ronaldo. FC 24 TOTS Live (Image credit: EA) It’s all change for Team Of The Season. Naturally the supermassive campaign is back, but with a twist: live cards that update depending on real-life performances. Bruno Fernandes and Luka Modric are among those who feature, and you can see their latest ratings on theFC 24 TOTS Livetracker. FC 24 Base Icons (Image credit: EA) The lcons system gets overhauled for FC 24. There are no longer three different types such as Prime Icons – instead, every player gets a single rating, with unique updates tied to individual campaigns promised later on. See them all in ourFC 24 Base Iconsguide. FC 24 Heroes (Image credit: EA) FC 24 Heroesare players who don’t quite merit Icon status, but still deserve credit for their awesomeness in a particular league. Newcomers this year include Vincent Kompany, Nwankwo Kanu, John Arne Riise, and Alex Scott. Hit that link for the full list. FC 24 Future Stars (Image credit: EA) It’s not only past greats who get hyped within Ultimate Team. The footballing world’s younger talents score fresh new cards each year too. Those selected for theFC 24 Future Starspromo included Jeremy Doku, Lauren James and Lauren Kemp, with select Icons such as Ronaldinho also nabbing flashback cards. FC 24 Road To The Knockouts (Image credit: EA) The season’s first big promo ties into European Competition. RTTK stands for Road To The Knockouts, and sees players earn upgrades for performances in the Champions League and Europa Leagues. Erling Haaland and Luka Modric are among those on theFC 24 RTTK Tracker. FC 24 Road To The Final (Image credit: EA) How do you follow up Road To The Knockouts? With Road To The Final, of course. We might have seen it coming, butFC 24 RTTFstill contains a colossal collection of upgradable cards, based on real-life European results. Rafael Leao and Darwin Nunez are two of the standouts. FC 24 Winter Wildcards (Image credit: EA) The FIFA series delivered many colossal Christmas promos, including last year’s highly popular Swap Tokens. Sadly, EA did away with them this time around. InsteadFC 24 Winter Wildcardsfocussed on new items for Ruud Gullit, Pele, and Cristiano Ronaldo, along with a daily SBC release across the festive period. FC 24 FC Pro Live (Image credit: EA) The season’s second promo to feature upgradeable cards is something we’ve never seen before. It’s based on an esports tournament, with item upgrades dependent on how each pro performs. For instance, H1dalgo wins earn stats boots for Sadio Mane. See them all in GR’sFC 24 FC Pro Live tracker. FC 24 Ultimate Dynasties (Image credit: EA) EA kicked off December with an all-time great new idea. TheFC 24 Ultimate Dynastiespromo saw cards released in pairs of family members: from brothers and sisters, to fathers and sons, to cousins – giving us Erling Haaland due to him being related to Jonathan Braut-Brunes. Clever. FC 24 Trailblazers (Image credit: EA) With PlayStyles new to this year’s reboot, EA came up with a promo that specifically ties into them.FC 24 Trailblazersgave the likes of Jude Bellingham, Kylian Mbappe and Carolina Graham Hansen new cards with a stats boost and a rejig of their signature styles.

Icons include Wayne Rooney and Ruud Gullit, while Kevin de Bruyne and Aitana Bonmati make the contemporary cards list. See them all in ourFC 24 Centurionsguide. FC 24 Triple Threat (Image credit: EA) A new era means an assortment of new ideas, and this one split the community. It saw sets of three players dropped into packs based on specific clubs, such as Manchester City or PSG. But some big names, such as Barca and Arsenal, missed out. All is explained in ourFC 24 Triple Threatguide. FC 24 Radioactive (Image credit: EA) No, this isn’t a special set of Imagine Dragons items. Instead, another novel campaign saw hazardous-looking cards add two chemistry points to your team regardless of which league or nation they were tied to. Lionel Messi and Sam Kerr were among those included on theFC 24 Radioactiveroster. FC 24 Versus (Image credit: EA) You’re hot then you’re cold, you’re yes than you’re no… if you’re anFC 24 Versuscard, that is.

FC 24 chemistry styles (Image credit: EA) While many elements of Ultimate Team have changed to usher in a new era,FC 24 chemistry styleswork the same as they have done for a few years now. Items like Hawk, Hunter and Shadow enable you to cunningly switch up individual stats to best suit your tactics. FC 24 best kits (Image credit: EA) FC 24 best badges (Image credit: EA) Much like shopping for kits, rare crests can be a speedy way to rack up coin-based profits – while there are also some team emblems that just ooze cool. With that in mind, Real Madrid, Luton Town and FC Botosani all stand proudly in ourFC 24 best badgesguide. FC 24 female players (Image credit: EA) In a massive move, women and men mix together in Ultimate Team for the first time. Among those to look out for in packs are Chelsea striker Sam Kerr and Arsenal winger Beth Mead. All is explained in our news story onFC 24 female players.
