Squad Guide 

Serie A has some brilliant center-backs and attacking full-backs, so it was hard not to pick a formation that uses five at the back for our FC 24 starter squad. A 5-2-2-1 also gives us the best Meta Rating within budget. 

The wing-backs can get up and down the pitch with pace to support the midfield and forward line. Manuel Lazzari is the standout, with a Meta Rating far exceeding his actual overall. The three CBs are all solid, with a decent mix of speed and physicality. We stuck tightly to our budget, but for a little extra, you could upgrade Stefan Posch to AC Milan’s Pierre Kalulu. 

Juventus man Manuel Locatelli provides a more defensive option in midfield, with Lorenzo Pellegrini a true box-to-box player. You will want to switch Locatelli for Andre-Franck Zambo Anguissa once you get the coins. 

We have decent enough pace up top, with Nicolas Gonzalez and Matteo Politano both agile forwards. Napoli’s Giacomo Raspadori will work as a starting striker, but there are better options. Felipe Anderson, Deulofeu, or Luis Muriel would be better for a slightly higher price.
