Undoubtedly a Barcelona legend, Gerard Pique is one of the very few players who can remember what it was like to be a part of arguably the greatest club side of all time. Like Jordi Alba‘s, Pique‘s 84 rating hints at a player slightly in decline (Pique was 88 rated in EAFC 24 Coins ), but he‘s still the best option at the back regardless of his downward trajectory.
Pique‘s strengths and weaknesses have been well-documented since his career started. Never blessed with pace, the 35-year-old‘s acceleration and sprint speed (50 and 63 respectively) can let him down, but his immense size, strength, composure and aerial ability make him a necessity at the back.
Still quite young for a center-back, Ronald Araujo has a lot of developing still left to do, but his recent exploits have earned him far more respect and admiration than his 81 rating would lead one to believe. He might be the joint-lowest rated player in this setup and is in danger of losing a place to new signing Jules Kounde when FC 24 drops, but he‘s still a strong, solid choice to partner with Pique. For setting up against crosses and long balls, Araujo and Pique are the perfect pair.
It‘s tempting to put returning club legend Dani Alves in here instead, but Sergi Roberto‘s 81 rating is far clear of Alves‘ 77. Roberto is the joint-lowest rating player for Barça alongside Araujo, but he‘s a dependable choice with excellent stamina and very few fatal weaknesses. He‘s also underrated as an attacking option. With some very handing crossing (82) and vision (82) stats, Roberto can be employed as a more assertive wing-back when looking to play aggressively and with pressure.
Already a club legend for Barcelona, club captain Sergio Busquets has pretty much defined the CDM role over the past ten or fifteen years. Busquets isn‘t fast, mobile, or very strong, but his footballing intelligence is practically unmatched, as reflected in his composure, awareness, ball control, and tackling stats. With an 84 rating, Busquets is still an integral cog in the Barcelona machine.
Pedri‘s rating demands an upgrade come FC 24. but for right now managers will have to make do with a rather disappointing 82 for the young midfielder. Still, with 86 ball control, 86 short pass, 86 dribbling, and even 86 stamina, Pedri is a perfect fit for the midfield engine room. His physical stats do let him down somewhat, but in terms of technical midfielders capable of driving the ball forward during transitional play, Pedri is already a master.
One of the simplest choices to make and the first outfield name on the team sheet. De Jong has been a polarizing figure since moving to the Nou Camp, but very few can argue with his self-evident ability.
A colossal 87 rating makes him Barcelona‘s best outfield player (until Lewandowski arrives), while 90 composure, 88 agility, 90 stamina, 86 vision, and 89 ball control testify to his quality. De jong isn‘t strong and his disappointing shooting stats let him down, but apart from that, the Dutchman‘s inclusion is a no-brainer.
It‘s odd that Barcelona wants to get rid of former Manchester United man Memphis Depay considering how good he‘s been for the Catalan giants. Real-world politics aside, Memphis is a superb option on both the LW or straight through the middle, exhibiting solid physical stats and some exceptional ball control.
A predatory goalscorer, Memphis‘ 84 finishing, 87 shot power, and 85 curve make him lethal when cutting in off his wing, while his versatility renders him an option as a false-nine, a winger, or an out-and-out striker. Wherever the Dutchman goes, he's an absolute force of nature in FC 24.
Aubameyang has hit the ground running at Barcelona, netting thirteen times in nineteen league appearances for the La Liga side. Aubameyang‘s FC 24 Coins for sale game is all about pace, his 88 spring speed and 85 acceleration making him perfect for through balls over the top and counter-attacks against a high-pressing side.
