It’s not just your feet you need to be accomplished with when playing football, but also your head. Powering in a header from a cross or flicking the ball onto a teammate running through on goal are great skills to have. We’re looking at players in FC 24 with the best headers to make sure you pick up someone who can dominate in the air. 

We’ve nearly reached the EA Sports FC 24 release date, with Early Access to the latest game opening through the FC 24 Web App and Companion App. All the Ultimate Team player ratings have been revealed! So, check out the players with the best heading stats in FC 24 below. 

FC 24 Best Headers 

Here are the FC 24 best headers top 10:

It may be surprising to see the list dominated by strikers rather than defenders. PSG center-back Marquinhos is the only representative from the back line. However, this is because attackers need far better heading accuracy to get shots on target. This differs from defenders who usually power headers away from their box and out of danger. 

Netherlands and PSV striker Luuk De Jong tops the list of best headers in FC 24, with 93 Heading Accuracy. The big forward is severely lacking in pace, so don’t expect to see him in many FUT squads. 

It’s a blast from the past in second place! Former Everton and Manchester United man Marouane Fellaini takes the spot. Now playing his football in China, a special item in Ultimate Team would go down well with the community. 

Barcelona marksman Robert Lewandowski scoops up bronze, with supreme heading just another weapon in his armory. His fellow 90 Club forwards also make the cut, with Frenchman Karim Benzema now in the Saudi Pro League, and England’s Harry Kane switching Spurs for Bayern Munich

Mauro Icardi, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, and Milan Duric could also have featured in the list, with all three having 88 Heading Accuracy. However, they just miss out based on their overall rating. 

Other notable names to not make the cut include Portugal trio Ruben Dias, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Diogo Jota. Defenders Eder Militao, Virgil van Dijk, Chris Smalling, and Mats Hummels also feature highly in the ratings.
