This will form your initial squad that you’ll take into your first Squad Battles or Division Rivals match, while also being valuable fodder for SBCs later down the line. But with nine different starter packs and nations to choose from, which should you go for to build your Ultimate Team squad? Here’s our advice.

The best starter pack in EA FC 24’s Ultimate Team mode is Brazil, as they provide the best potential for future SBCs throughout the year. It also helps that there isn’t a domestic Brazilian league in Ultimate Team, further reducing the chance that your players are all from the same league.

While it may be tempting to go for England in the hope of getting some Premier League players or chemistry links, the likelihood of you keeping any of your first players is pretty low. Instead, we’d suggest filling up your club with players you can then use in SBCs.

The reason Brazil is best for this is because they offer a lot of diversity in terms of leagues. English and Italian players, for example, are more concentrated in their own domestic leagues, meaning they will be valuable in only a few select SBCs.

Meanwhile, your Brazilian starting squad will cut across a vast array of leagues, saving you precious coins as you won’t need to buy as many players to complete these SBCs. If you don’t want to start with Brazil, we’d also suggest picking Argentina, the Netherlands or Spain for the same reasons.
