Highlights

The addition of women in EA FC 24 Ultimate Team has changed gameplay, focusing on player attributes beyond stats alone.

Lynn Wilms, Georgia Stanway, and Lena Oberdorf excel in their individual positions, showcasing distinctive abilities and playing styles.

Fran Kirby, Diani, and Guro Reiten bring excitement to their attacking roles with their speed, dribbling proficiency, and scoring prowess, whereas Caroline Hansen and Alexia Putellas offer versatility in the midfield. Sam Kerr stands out as an elite striker, known for her strength and exceptional goal-scoring capabilities.

Since its debut in FIFA 09, Ultimate Team has undergone numerous changes and updates by EA. FUT Draft and Weekend League were introduced, and now, with the revamp of EA FC 24, the inclusion of female players has finally become a reality in the game's most popular mode.

The integration of women into EA FC 24 Ultimate Team has had a significant impact on gameplay. Factors such as height, dribbling skills, and body type now play a crucial role in team composition, going beyond mere statistics seen in previous versions. Understanding which of these new players can enhance one's playing style becomes essential on the journey to achieving glory in Division 1 and FUT Champs.

10 Lynn Wilms (RB, Wolfsburg VfL)

Make sure to select Lynn Wilms as the first player on the list. At level 15 of the Season Progress objective, players can choose between two options: Lynn Wilms and Sandy Baltimore, both of whom are excellent choices. However, considering that there are already several talented French right-wingers in the D1 Arkema league, Lynn Wilms stands out as the top right back in the Frauen-Bundesliga.

Lynn Wilms boasts impressive stats in crucial areas such as pace, dribbling, defending, and physicality, making her an ideal choice for players who prefer full-backs who contribute to the attack by pushing forward. With four PlayStyles, including Incisive Pass and Anticipate, Lynn Wilms excels in intercepting the ball and delivering accurate through passes to wingers, enabling quick counter-attacks. By applying the Anchor chemistry style, Lynn Wilms becomes a formidable defensive force with the speed and power to outmatch any winger, regardless of their speed or strength.

9 Georgia Stanway (CDM, Bayern Munich)

The sole representative of the English team in this lineup, Georgia Stanway is a highly versatile box-to-box midfielder who can excel in any role assigned to her. With her speed and agility, she excels in pressuring opponents, predicting the perfect moment to intercept the ball, and delivering precise passes to her offensive teammates.

With an impressive range of abilities, Stanway is a true all-rounder who can contribute effectively in various positions on the field. She possesses exceptional running, shooting, and passing skills, and is capable of both carrying the ball forward and defending the backline. Her tenacity in reclaiming possession makes her an invaluable player in any team that employs a high press or relies on counter-attacking strategies. Equipped with the Engine chemistry style, Stanway further enhances her technical prowess and agility, elevating her performance as a box-to-box midfielder.

8 Lena Oberdorf (CDM, Wolfsburg VfL)

Another player from Wolfsburg has joined the team, and Lena Oberdorf brings a different approach as a defensive midfielder compared to Georgia Stanway. One of Oberdorf's main responsibilities is to hold her position in front of the back line. Although she may lack pace, her exceptional defensive skills make up for it. In fact, Oberdorf has some of the highest defensive stats among all players in EA FC 24, demonstrating her impressive strength and aggressiveness in dispossessing opponents who are much bigger than her.

Oberdorf possesses a variety of PlayStyles that enhance her defensive abilities, including Intercept, Anticipate, and Bruiser. As a result, she is extremely difficult to bypass, providing strong protection for the back line. This reduces the risk of tense defensive situations wherein the center back must face a dangerous striker. Furthermore, applying the Artist's chemistry style to her card improves her passing and maneuverability, making her even more effective on the field.

7 Fran Kirby (CAM/RW, Chelsea)

The first attacking player on this list is Fran Kirby from Chelsea. Known for her speed and excellent shooting ability, Kirby primarily plays as a center attacking-midfielder but also excels as a right-winger due to her height (5'2"). With impressive dribbling skills and a Technical PlayStyle, Kirby is particularly skilled in one-on-one battles against opposing fullbacks.

Given that Kirby is a key goal scorer when playing as a right-winger, it is recommended to use the Hunter chemistry style on her. This further enhances her pace and shooting, making her extremely dangerous once she enters the penalty area, thanks to her exceptional dribbling capabilities. Overall, Kirby is an exciting addition to any Ultimate Team lineup.

6 Ashley Lawrence (RB, Chelsea)

Another notable player on the defensive end (don't worry, attackers are still in the picture) is Ashley Lawrence, a Chelsea player from Canada. Known as one of the top right backs in Ultimate Team, Lawrence possesses exceptional speed, unmatched defending skills, and impressive passing and dribbling abilities, making her the epitome of a modern fullback. She truly excels in all aspects of the game.

What sets her apart even more is her strong association with the Women's Super League, which adds to the importance of including her in any English League squad to ensure optimal chemistry. With her Jockey PlayStyle, she effectively shuts down opposing wingers who attempt to bypass her and deliver crosses or cutbacks into the box. To further enhance her performance, using either a Shadow or Anchor chemistry style is advised. Shadow emphasizes her lightning-fast pace and defensive abilities, while Anchor promotes a more secure and protective style of play.

5 Diani (RW, Olympique Lyon)

Kadidiatou Diani instills fear in Ultimate Team players every time the starting lineups are revealed before a match. She possesses all the qualities of a game-changer. Is she quick? Absolutely. Can she dribble? On par with Neymar. Is she strong? Surprisingly so, despite her height. Can she shoot? Better than most goal poachers. Having Diani either bursting into the box for a shot or positioned at the back post for an easy tap-in spells disaster for any unlucky opponent who has to face her.

With her Quick Step and Technical PlayStyles, Diani effortlessly leaves even the fastest fullbacks in a sweat as they struggle to catch up with her on the wing. Additionally, she can also play as a striker, causing chaos for sluggish center-backs when deployed centrally. Any offensive chemistry style will only enhance Diani's abilities. Use Hunter to maximize her speed and shooting prowess.

4 Guro Reiten (LW, Chelsea)

Diani's lightning speed on the right is matched by Guro Reiten on the left. As a winger for Chelsea, Reiten possesses similar qualities to Diani with the added advantage of being left-footed. Reiten's presence in the same league as Diani makes them easily connectable. Reiten showcases impressive pace and exceptional ball control, effortlessly maneuvering past opposing defenders.

While Reiten can also be deployed as a center attacking midfielder, her PlayStyles greatly enhance her effectiveness in this position. With the ability to execute incisive passes and whipped passes, Reiten becomes a formidable threat in setting up strikers with through balls. However, her optimal position lies on the left, allowing her to cut inside and contribute both goals and assists to her team. By applying the Hunter chemistry style, Reiten transforms into one of the game's top attackers.

3 Caroline Hansen (RW, Barcelona)

Caroline Hansen, a standout player in every position, reigns supreme as EA FC 24's most exceptional female winger. With a plethora of phenomenal players in her league and team, Hansen effortlessly connects with her counterparts. Boasting five-star skills, remarkable speed, impressive shooting, precise passing, and impeccable dribbling, Hansen possesses all the necessary attributes for a formidable attacking force.

Standing tall at five foot ten (177cm), Hansen towers over the competition as one of the tallest outfield players in women's football. This advantage poses a challenge for defenders attempting to dispossess her, particularly when compared to the aforementioned players on this list (apologies to Fran Kirby). Her moderate strength and considerable height make her an unstoppable force on the flanks, leaving fullbacks grasping at straws to keep up. Equipping Hansen with the Hunter chemistry style elevates her to the ranks of the game's elite finishers, while also solidifying her as one of the fastest players on the pitch.

2 Alexia Putellas (CM, Barcelona)

Alexia Putellas, a prominent player in EA FC 24, is an exceptional midfielder known for her versatility. She possesses remarkable speed, shooting ability, passing skills, proficient ball control, and even contributes defensively. Comparable to renowned players like Steven Gerrard or Frank Lampard, Putellas shines at both central and attacking midfield positions, where her skills can be fully maximized. Utilizing her as a defensive midfielder would be a waste due to her impressive shooting statistics.

Additionally, if necessary, Putellas can also excel as a winger or even a striker, especially if there is a scarcity of players in those positions. Depending on the player's preference, enhancing Putellas' attacking prowess with the Hunter chemistry style can make her a formidable force up front. However, if the team already possesses attacking-minded players and requires a stronger defensive presence in midfield, a Shadow or Anchor chemistry style would be more suitable. Given her exceptional abilities, choosing the right approach for Putellas can elevate her to the pinnacle of excellence in EA FC 24.

1 Sam Kerr (ST, Chelsea)

When it comes to team building, it is essential to have a goalscorer at the forefront. This individual should possess the ability to locate the goal and consistently score when needed. Sam Kerr perfectly fits this description as a striker. In addition to her prior connections with players such as Ashley Lawrence and Guro Reiten in the Women's Super League, Kerr is the final touch that elevates an already outstanding team.

Kerr's skillset includes a proficiency in four-star skill moves and the ability to use either foot when taking on opponents and aiming for the goal. However, what truly sets Kerr apart in the attack is her physicality. With a base strength of 88, a jumping ability of 95, and a heading accuracy of 93, Kerr, despite her shorter stature of 5'6/167cm, proves to be remarkably competitive both in the air and against taller defenders. With the application of the Hunter chemistry style, the need for skillful scoring will become a thing of the past. Undoubtedly, she is the most exceptional female player in EA FC 24.
