MostEA Sports FC 24players tend to operate with a striker or two when playing in Career Mode, but a growing number are starting to use center forwards instead. Doing so provides several big advantages, the most notable being that the best Career Mode center forwards tend to be better on the ball, allowing their teams to play straight through the middle rather than having to whip the ball into the box from the wings.
Pretty much all attacking midfielders can be converted to play in the position, as too can a decent proportion of wingers and strikers. However, the number of out-and-out center forwards in the Career Mode ofEA Sports FC 24is actually fairly limited, meaning that those looking for someone who plays the position naturally will need to look a little harder than they would were they recruiting for one of the more traditional positions.
Only players aged 25 or under at the start of the 23-24 season will be considered for this list.

João Félixshowed glimmers of his true potential during his loan spell atChelseaand hit the ground running after his move to the Camp Nou in the summer of 2023. When on form, he’s as good as any other center forward in world football, even if his current in-game rating places him behind the likes of Gakpo and Nkunku.
