EA FC 24 best starter nation in Ultimate Team
Our choice for the best starter nation in EA FC 24 Ultimate Team is Brazil - for a number of different reasons.
Brazil is not only a nation of fantastic footballers, but they are also spread across many of the top five leagues - giving you many linking opportunities for your squad.
Furthermore, they will be incredibly handy to have in your squad for approaching the tricky Advanced SBCs in the early game, as there are a limited number of players that work here and Brazilians tend to fit in well - saving you a lot of money.
If joga bonito isn't quite your thing though, we recommend picking either France or England. France is largely for the same reasons as Brazil - albeit with better overall linking opportunities and less SBC viability. For England though, this is only if you want to branch into the Premier League for your squad, as that will set you up nicely with some early-game chemistry.

Picking a starter nation in EA FC 24 Ultimate Team will give you a large pack with players from your chosen nation and a number of other random cards to fill out your squad. It is meant as a foundation for your Ultimate Team, and enough to get you through a few early Squad Battles games as you buy more cards from the Transfer Market.
The cards included here will not be the best, and they will largely be a mix between Bronze and Silver rarities. You might get lucky with a meta Gold card though, which is why we've recommended the starter nations that we have above.
