EA Sports FC 24 lets players choose whatever position they want to for Player Career Mode. Whether you want to play Left Wing Back (LWB) or Center Back (CB), you can do it all. From Goalkeeper to Striker, all positions are on the table. Here are the best ones to choose.

What position should I choose in EA Sports FC 24 Career Mode?

The best position to play in EA Sports FC’s career mode is striker, or at least forward of some kind. Any forward position is going to be the most impactful and probably the most fun. These include:

  • Right winger (RW)
  • Center Forward (CF)
  • Left Winger (LW)
  • Striker (ST)

These positions are going to have the ball the most and they’re likely going to be the playmakers. Getting better in EA FC Player Career Mode requires you to play well and it is much easier to do so as a forward.

Wing play grants more opportunities to score and get assists, which grows your player rating in a single game easily. The position you end up in may depend on your team’s formation.

Midfielders are a good alternative position group to play as. They include:

  • Center midfielder (CM)
  • Left midfielder (LM)
  • Right midfielder (RM)
  • Center Attacking Midfielder (CAM)
  • Center Defensive Midfielder (CDM)

These positions find themselves in offensive situations frequently. They don’t have as many scoring opportunities, but they do find themselves with loads of assist chances. They’re also often responsible for taking corners or a free kick, so they can get a lot of good passes to raise their player ratings.

Raising the player ratings means you earn more XP and coach favor. This directly influences your overall rating, so it’s best to select a position that you can do well in. Defense is naturally a lot harder, but the CDM is a good position that gets some offense and some defense.

Whether you’re a LB for Tottenham or a RB for Borussia Dortmund, it doesn’t matter. You can truly pick any position you want, including goalkeeper (if you want a really challenging position to play) for any squad you like.
