EA FC 26 best teams: Highest rated teams

When competing against your friends online or in PlayStation cafes, you'll need strong teams. But this isn't just about strength, it's also about balance. Therefore, when choosing your team, you'll want to know which are the best. The list hasn't changed much for years. You can check out the team ratings and information on the best teams in EA FC 26 in the table below.

As every year, Real Madrid tops the list this year as well. With a squad composed of both stars and young talents, they possess incredible potential. With the fast and skillful Vinicius Jr. on the left wing, the goal-scoring machine Mbappe up front, and the maestro Arda Güler in midfield, this team is open to all kinds of formations. Therefore, you can play a surprising style of football by changing tactics and achieve an enjoyable victory. However, since we understand the value of friendship very well, we do not recommend scoring more than 3 goals against your friends.

EA FC 26 Best Teams: Team Suggestions for Career

We know you want to write a success story in career mode by taking over teams from the 2nd and 3rd leagues of different countries. Developing and selling young footballers while doing so is also quite enjoyable. So, we've prepared a list of teams with their own challenges for you. Here is our list of the best teams for career mode in EA FC 26!

• Bayer Leverkusen: By developing and selling young players, you can compete in the Bundesliga for both survival in the league and the championship. Establishing a scouting network to maintain squad balance and competing for success in the Bundesliga despite the Dortmund-Munich duo can be enjoyable.
• Schalke 04: Schalke's glorious days in the Champions League can be recreated. To build a strong squad, you'll need to make transfers, get promoted to the Bundesliga, and then compete in the Champions League.
• Sheffield United: When starting career mode with Sheffield United, disable transfers in the first season. This will allow you to have a realistic experience. With a squad that is both young and not very skilled, you will be one of the least competitive teams in the Championship. This will be an invitation for those who love a challenge.
• AD Ceuta: The first African team to play football in Spain in 70 years. You might want to play there because of its importance.
• Sporting CP: Sporting CB, playing in the Portuguese league, is a team full of young talent. If you want to develop your players while staying true to your existing squad and competing for trophies, then they will be a suitable option for you.
• Gençlerbirliği: Gençlerbirliği, newly promoted to the Turkish Super League this year, is a team full of challenges. While they are fighting to survive in the league with their weak squad, they could also go to Europe to collect trophies once they get things back on track. However, we recommend that you play with the match tempo of the Turkish Super League in mind.
