3 Best Real Madrid Formations for EA FC 24

Real Madrid has a star-studded squad in EA FC 24, but which formation should you use to get the best out of them? Here are the best Real Madrid formations for EA FC 24

Despite a lackluster 2022/23 season, Real Madrid, measured against their own high standards, continue to rank among the world's top teams. With a roster filled with exceptional talent, they're expected to be a favored choice in EA FC 24.

Identifying the best Real Madrid formations in EA FC 24 can be a nuanced task, however, given the numerous factors to take into account in terms of formation and selecting the starting eleven.

The record-time European champions are navigating a period of transition, bidding farewell to Karim Benzema and Casemiro while seeing Toni Kroos and Luca Modric enter the twilight of their careers. Nevertheless, the club still possesses the weaponry to field exhilarating lineups for EA FC 24. Let's examine the best Real Madrid EA FC 24 formations.

3 Best Real Madrid Formations for EA FC 24

EA FC 24 Best Real Madrid Formations: 1. (4-1-2-1-2)

The 4-4-2 formation, once considered outdated in contemporary football, is experiencing a resurgence in the modern game. Real Madrid's manager, Carlo Ancelotti, has reverted to a variation of this classic system after the departure of the exceptional Karim Benzema. Currently, the Spanish capital team lacks a striker of Benzema's quality, which is why they have turned to a striking duo upfront.

Goalkeeper: Thibaut Courtois (90)

Real Madrid possesses the game's top-tier goalkeeper in Thibaut Courtois, who also stands as the club's highest-rated player. As a result, Courtois is the undisputed choice ahead of Kepa Arrizabalaga, another outstanding goalkeeper, in every conceivable scenario. Despite the age difference of three years between him and the Chelsea loanee, Courtois outperforms in speed ratings and all other statistical measures. As a result, you can have confidence in Courtois, even if you decide to deploy an extraordinarily high defensive line.

RB: Dani Carvajal (82)

In this specific formation, the veteran Dani Carvajal stands out as the ideal choice for the right-back position. In a traditional back four setup, the right-back must strike a fine balance between offensive and defensive responsibilities, and Carvajal excels in this aspect. His whipped pass and block playstyles make him a valuable asset on either end of the pitch.

RCB: Antonio Rudiger (85)

Rudiger has solidified his presence in the Madrid defense since joining from Chelsea. His exceptional aerial prowess and defensive proficiency make him a must-have for this role. Despite a two-point downgrade, the Germany international continues to be a no-nonsense defender who you'd still want anchoring the heart of your defense.

LCB: David Alaba (85)

Real Madrid has two strong candidates for this position, with Eder Militao slightly ahead of David Alaba in overall ratings. So, why might you choose Alaba over Militao? Well, the Austrian international boasts significantly higher ratings in passing, shooting, and dribbling, which compensates for his other areas of weakness. Alaba is a better option for playing out from the back than Miliato. Other than his defensive duties, he is a goal threat from setpieces.

LB: Ferland Mendy (82)

Ferland Mendy is an automatic selection for the team, as he faces no direct competition for the starting left-back position. While Alaba can also fill in there, Mendy's exceptional speed on the flanks makes him a compelling choice. Although Fran Garcia has received a notable upgrade in EA FC 24, Mendy still retains his status as the primary pick for the position.

CDM: Aurelien Tchouameni (84)

Aurelien Tchouameni is a versatile player who can thrive in multiple midfield roles. In this system, he assumes the role of a single pivot player. His superior physicality and defensive attributes prompted us to pick him as the connecting point between the Madrid backline and midfield over Eduardo Camavinga (82).

RCM: Federico Valverde (88)

We encountered a challenging decision for this role, with the legendary Luka Modric (87) also in contention. The seasoned midfielder boasts an array of impressive playstyles, making him an enticing option. Ultimately, we opted for Valverde due to his speed, stamina, and shooting abilities.

LCM: Toni Kroos (86)

While we made the decision to bench Modric, we couldn't do the same for his partner in crime, Toni Kroos. The midfield stalwart is a dependable choice for the left central midfield position, boasting exceptional passing stats at 90 and a wide range of impressive playstyles. Additionally, the German holds a PlayStyles+ Long Passing rating.

CAM: Jude Bellingham (86)

The English boy wonder has hit the ground running in Madrid. Bellingham boasts an impressive overall rating of 86, with a well-rounded distribution of ratings across all attributes. The 20-year-old is the quintessential CAM pick without a shred of a doubt.

LF: Vinicius Jr. (89)

Following Karim Benzema's exit, Vinicius Jr. has stepped into the role of Los Blancos' primary attacking threat. As a natural left-winger, he is set to occupy the left flank of the attack in this formation.

RF: Rodrygo (85)

Rodrygo joins forces with his fellow countryman in the forward line. While he typically prefers a wider position, in a two-man attack, he will play closer to the goal.

EA FC 24 Real Madrid Formations: 2. (4-3-3)

Against oppositions you expect to dominate, you can move to the 4-3-3. The trio of forwards can apply pressure on the opponent's defense, while the midfield trio can offer defensive support and contribute to ball control.

Goalkeeper: Thibaut Courtois (90)

LW: Vinicius Jr. (89)

RW: Rodrygo (85)

CF: Joselu (82)

Joselu is no Karim Benzema, but he can be a great focal point alongside two quality wingers. The Spaniard has a decent overall rating of 82, with good physicality and shooting credentials.
