Unveiling the Top Female Icons in EA Sports FC 24's Ultimate Team

Highlights

  • Explore legendary players like Birgit Prinz, Kelly Smith, Camille Abily, Homare Sawa, and Mia Hamm in the Female Icon cards of EA Sports FC 24.
  • Delve into the highly sought-after Icon cards boasting exceptional in-game stats, with standout performances from players like Kelly Smith and Homare Sawa in various positions.
  • Learn about Kelly Smith's significant upgrade in the Future Stars promotion, solidifying her as a valuable addition to any Ultimate Team roster.

While women's soccer has been a fixture in EA Sports' annual releases since FIFA 16, EA Sports FC 24 marks the debut of female inclusion in the popular Ultimate Team (UT) mode. This milestone has brought retired women's soccer legends into the spotlight as formidable Icon cards.

Icon cards hold the highest appeal for UT enthusiasts, offering top-tier in-game attributes. With only 5 female players featured in FC 24, the variations in these Icons can be overwhelming for players seeking to enhance their team. Despite the diversity in prices, accessibility to a female Icon from this list remains inclusive to all players. Therefore, the focus will be on Icons that are still within reach.

6 Birgit Prinz (92 Ovr)

Stats vs. Overall Rating Discrepancy

  • Pace: 83
  • Shooting: 92
  • Dribbling: 82

Although Birgit Prinz appears as a significant asset for players who possess her card, her in-game stats do not align with her 92 overall rating. Challenges arise from her relatively low Pace and Dribbling, compounded by weak attributes in Agility (60) and Balance (66).

To leverage Prinz effectively, players are advised to position her in advanced areas of the field, maximizing her exceptional finishing skills near the opposition's goal. Regrettably, despite being one of the greatest female players in history, her in-game performance fails to mirror her real-world prowess.

5 Kelly Smith (89 Ovr)

Cost-Effective Selection

  • Pace: 88
  • Shooting: 90
  • Dribbling: 89

Kelly Smith earns recognition for her 23-year career through multiple Icon variants across the game. Her impressive 92 Finishing and 4-star Weak Foot accurately represent the skills of England's second-highest goal scorer. Players should utilize Smith for set-pieces, given her Dead Ball+ playstyle.

Despite superior alternatives, Smith's affordability, priced around 80k on Xbox and PlayStation, positions her as a feasible choice for novice players.

4 Camille Abily (90 Ovr)

Mastery in Box Arrival

  • Shooting: 89
  • Passing: 90
  • Dribbling: 89

Renowned for her goal-scoring prowess, Camille Abily excels in timely box entries within EA Sports FC 24. With commendable defensive and Physicality attributes, she serves as a versatile midfielder capable of both attacking and defending.

Most players opt for a backbone chemistry style to enhance her Passing, Defending, and Physicality, promoting her versatility. However, an offensive chemistry style can prioritize her attacking contributions over defensive duties.

3 Homare Sawa (91 Ovr)

Versatile Midfield Maestro

  • Passing: 91
  • Dribbling: 91
  • Defending: 83

With exceptional attributes across the board, Homare Sawa demonstrates the versatility to excel in any midfield role. Boasting 91 Dribbling and 84 Pace, she efficiently maneuvers past opponents in midfield while adeptly dispossessing them.

Reflecting her knack for scoring goals, Sawa's 92 Finishing showcases her goal-scoring prowess. Players can elevate her performance by applying a Shadow chemistry style to enhance her Pace and Defending abilities.

2 Kelly Smith (91 Ovr)

Enhanced Performance Upgrade

  • Pace: 90
  • Shooting: 92
  • Dribbling: 92

Receiving an upgrade during the Future Stars promotion, Kelly Smith joins the ranks of upgraded icons like Zidane and Ronaldinho. With balanced pace, featuring 90 in both Acceleration and Sprint Speed, and a stellar Finishing rating of 93, Smith thrives in front of the goal.

Players can further enhance her effectiveness by applying a Hunter chemistry style, elevating her Pace to 98 and Shooting to 97. Though pricier than her previous version at around 500k, she undoubtedly justifies the investment.

1 Mia Hamm (95 Ovr)

Epitome of Excellence

  • Pace: 94
  • Shooting: 95
  • Dribbling: 94

Regarded as one of the greatest female players in history, Mia Hamm stood out as a prolific goal scorer for the USA National Team and various club teams. With exceptional across-the-board statistics and bolstered by a 5-star Weak Foot and skills, she epitomizes excellence.

As a TOTY variant, Hamm features two additional playstyles, Rapid+ and Powershot+, setting her apart as not only the premier female icon in EA Sports FC 24 but also one of the most coveted cards in the FIFA/FC gaming universe.
