The best lower-rated silver strikers that players should pick up in EA Sports FC 24 Ultimate Team can be found here!
This list ranks players by considering a combination of pure dribbling stats with pace and the different PlayStyles that contribute to this aspect of the game. Still, some may feel better or worse depending on the player's style; for example, if they rely on skills, speed, or fooling defenders, and if they prefer playing against AI or other players. But in most cases, these are the best dribblers in EA FC 24.
Updated May 23, 2024 by Ben Painter: With the soccer season coming to an end in real life, gamers need their football fix ahead of this summer's international competitions such as the Euros or the Copa America. Fans may turn to EA Sports FC 24, which has been out for some time now and play with some of the best soccer stars in virtual form.
When choosing a team to play, or building a squad in the Ultimate Team mode, gamers should look at the players with the best dribbling. Having a soccer player who can glide past defenders, perform a skill, and create a goal-scoring opportunity is a must and this list has the best in EA Sports FC 24. This update adds five more of the best dribblers and includes some more information about each one on how they can best fit into the player's Ultimate Team.
15 Thiago Alcantara
89 Dribbling
- Rating: 84
- Position: CM
- Club: Liverpool
- League: Premier League (England)
- Nationality: Spain
- Skill Moves: 5-star
- Best Card on Ultimate Team: 87-rated Triple Threat
Most of the players here are attackers, but Thiago is definitely a midfielder and operates best as a deep-lying playmaker in a CM or CDM role. He makes use of his 89 dribbling stat to beat the midfield press and spread the ball out to forward players who can chip in with a goal or an assist.
The Spaniard's other best attributes include 91 ball control, 90 agility, and 90 short passing. He is the ultimate midfielder and all his stats are boosted in his Triple Threat card on Ultimate Team. In real life, Thiago is leaving Liverpool, so in EA Sports FC 25 he will be at another club, and probably with a downgrade to his stats, as he has not played much this season due to injury problems.
14 Riyad Mahrez
89 Dribbling
- Rating: 86
- Position: RW
- Club: Al Ahli
- League: ROSHN Saudi League (Saudi Arabia)
- Nationality: Algeria
- Skill Moves: 5-star
- Best Card on Ultimate Team: 93-rated TOTS Plus
The Manchester City treble-winner was one of the many shock exits to the Saudi League. For the first time in an EA Sports soccer video game, the ROSHN Saudi League featured some high-rated and useable players on Ultimate Team.
EA Sports FC 25: 25 Icons That Are Missing From The Game
These are the legendary players that are missing from EA Sports FC 24 as "Icon" cards. Hopefully, a future title will rectify this issue.
One of these is Riyad Mahrez who is a left-footed, right-winger who is used best to cut inside onto his stronger foot, using his 89 dribbling, 91 ball control, and 91 agility to beat defenders and get a shot on goal. He also has 5-star skills, meaning he has every trick in the book in his locker. It will take some of the best defenders in the game to stop him from dominating the right flank of the field.
13 Catarina Macario
90 Dribbling
- Rating: 84
- Position: CAM
- Club: Chelsea
- League: Women's Super League (England)
- Nationality: United States
- Skill Moves: 4-star
- Best Card on Ultimate Team: 84-rated Rare Gold
Chelsea are one of the best sides in the world. Their Women's side, that is, and they have a packed squad filled with talented players, such as Catarina Macario. The Brazilian-born USA International is an elite card in Ultimate Team, showcasing excellent dribbling and passing attributes that put her up with the best in the game.
What lets her down is that she has not received an upgrade in Ultimate Team, so the only card she has is the 84-rated base card. Although she is a CAM, she can also play as a CM or a St, so it is up to the gamer where they choose to play her, but with her 92 ball control, 92 long shots, and 90 curve, she is best to be kept in the attacking midfield position.
12 Paulo Dybala
90 Dribbling
- Rating: 86
- Position: CF
- Club: Roma FC (AS Roma)
- League: Serie A (Italy)
- Nationality: Argentina
- Skill Moves: 4-star
- Best Card on Ultimate Team: 90-rated POTM Serie A
For this year's version of the game, Paulo Dybala jumped from Juventus to Roma FC, rivals in Italian football. For a player of his quality, Roma was certainly on the better side of this deal. The Argentine forward is a great player in the game, with a lot of solid stats, 93 ball control, 91 vision, and 90 volleys to name a few, to complete a well-rounded player.
There is a sea of upgrades for Dybala's base card, his best being his 90-rated POTM Serie A item, with that being a time-limited Squad Building Challenge. Gamers may instead opt for one of his three TOTW cards or Winter Wildcards, all of which are readily available on the market, to use one of the best dribblers in EA Sports FC 24.
11 Sam Kerr
90 Dribbling
- Rating: 90
- Position: ST
- Club: Chelsea
- League: Women's Super League (England)
- Nationality: Australia
- Skill Moves: 4-star
- Best Card on Ultimate Team: 96-rated TOTY or 96-rated TOTS Moments
Regarding women's soccer, Sam Kerr is up there with the likes of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo as one of the best of all time. This is greatly highlighted by her 90-rated Ultimate Team card and her 90-dribbling stats. As an out-and-out striker, Kerr has 95 jumping, 93 heading accuracy, and 92 finishing.
Not only is she solid in the box, but she also has the dribbling stats to get into the box. The Australian has it all and deserves her ranking as one of the best dribblers in EA Sports FC 24.
10 Caroline Graham Hansen
90 Dribbling
- Rating: 90
- Position: RW
- Club: FC Barcelona
- League: Liga F (Spain)
- Nationality: Norway
- Skill Moves: 5-star
- Best Card on Ultimate Team: 97-rated TOTY or 97-rated TOTS
FC Barcelona is loaded with superb dribblers and the best overall. Hansen accounts for both. She has a stunning 90 overall which builds upon her amazing dribbling, which also stands at a 90. She has some interesting stats, including 94 agility and 90 acceleration, but what truly sets her apart is her skills. Hansen has 5-star skill moves combined with the Trickster+ PlayStyle, giving her an unlimited repertoire of moves.

Hansen also has other basic PlayStyles that contribute to her dribbling, such as Technical, First Touch, and Quick Step. She even has some decent strength, at 74, to hold onto the ball against taller defenders.
9 Vinicius Jr.
90 Dribbling
- Rating: 89
- Position: LW
- Club: Real Madrid
- League: La Liga (Spain)
- Nationality: Brazil
- Skill Moves: 5-star
- Best Card on Ultimate Team: 96-rated TOTS
Real Madrid's superstar was for sure a lock on this list, although many gamers might have expected him to be higher. The truth is, his dribbling rating is a little lower than it should be, with "only" a 90. He has similar stats to Hansen, with 95 agility, 92 dribbling, and 90 ball control. However, he has a much better pace, with 95 for both acceleration and sprint speed. He lacks Trickster, but he still has the 5-star skill moves.
When it comes to PlayStyles, Vinicius Jr. Has the Quick Step+, First Touch, and Rapid. He's fast and almost impossible to stop at space, but not as good at getting out of tight situations or holding the ball against bigger players. Still, for a winger, the ability to run past anyone is more valuable.
8 Aitana Bonmatí
91 Dribbling
- Rating: 90
- Position: CM
- Club: FC Barcelona
- League: Liga F (Spain)
- Nationality: Spain
- Skill Moves: 4-star
- Best Card on Ultimate Team: 97-rated TOTY or 97-rated TOTS
Bonmatí is the first one to jump to a 91 dribbling rating, but that isn't even the most important aspect of her game. In EA FC 24, ratings don't mean much if they don't come with the proper PlayStyles. Bonmatí has one of the most overpowered PlayStyles in the game: Technical+. This incredibly improves ball control, agility, speed with the ball, and dribbling.
EA Sports FC 24: Best Chemistry Styles
Players interested in the best chemistry styles in EA Sports FC 24 should consider the following options.
For a midfielder, her pace isn't bad, at 81, and she also has other interesting PlayStyles, like First Touch and Relentless. Her 75 strength is also pretty decent. She's not the most flashy, with just 4-star skills, but she is effective regardless.
7 Jamal Musiala
91 Dribbling
- Rating: 86
- Position: CAM
- Club: FC Bayern Munich
- League: Bundesliga (Germany)
- Nationality: Germany
- Skill Moves: 5-star
- Best Card on Ultimate Team: 95-rated TOTS
There's nobody better suited for dribbling than a classic attacking midfielder. Musiala embraces this kind of play with his 91 dribbling. He is very similar to Bonmatí, also possessing the Technical+ PlayStyle, but he adds the Skills dimension.
His pace is a little better, at 85, but he also has 5-star skill moves, Trickster, and First Touch. Add his stunning 92 balance, and the result is an almost unstoppable dribbler, perfect for breaking defenses.
6 Debinha
91 Dribbling
- Rating: 88
- Position: CAM
- Club: KC Current
- League: NWSL (United States)
- Nationality: Brazil
- Skill Moves: 5-star
- Best Card on Ultimate Team: 90-rated TOTY Honorable Mentions
Another attacking midfielder, Debinha is almost tied in every dribbling aspect with Musiala. Once again, she has a 91 dribbling rating, Technical+, 5-star skill moves, 94 balance, and 84 pace.

With the inclusion of female Icons in EA Sports FC 24's Ultimate Team mode for the first time, these women are the best female Icon cards available.
However, Debinha adds one more PlayStyle to the mix. In addition to First Touch and Trickster, Debinha also has Quick Step, which can come in handy in certain situations. Considering she also has better shooting and passing, it's clear who is the better option.
