FC 24 Versus Team 2 is in the wild, and adds fresh cards in two different flavours: FC 24 Fire and FC 24 Ice. Joining Team 1 favourite Son Heung-Min in the latestEA Sports FC 24promo are Rodri and Dayot Upamecano, as a bunch of top stars get upgraded stats or fresh PlayStyles for Ultimate Team. All the details of EA’s big new year campaign are here in your FC 24 Versus Fire and Ice guide.
What is FC 24 Versus?
FC 24 Versus brings theFC 24 Winter Wildcardspromo to a close with a fresh batch of cards and at least one new SBC. Cunningly, the campaign actually features two different item types: FC 24 Versus Ice and FC 24 Versus Fire. Each player selected, such as Spurs talisman Son Heung-Min and Newcastle stalwart Kieran Trippier, gets one of each, with unique properties and stats.
Son’s cards, for instance, both have an OVR of 90. However, his Fire item is positioned at ST, with 92 shooting and 86 dribbling. Whereas his Ice card sits at CAM, and has 91 shooting and 88 dribbling.
As outlined above, it’s all about choosing which positions and stats match your ideal line-up. Also factored into this decision areFC 24 PlayStyles. Let’s use the example of Son again. His Fire card at ST features a Finesse Shot PlayStyles Plus, as well as four standard versions: Power Shot, Technical, Rapid, and Quick Step. In comparison, the PlayStyle Plus on his Ice card is Technical, while his four standards are Finesse Shot, Power Shot, Rapid and Quick Step.
Very similar cards, then, but those subtle differences are key. As of Friday, January 12, Son’s Ice card costs 1 million coins, while the Fire one is 697,000. Trying to upgrade your balance to save up for the Korean? Try using our guides to theFC 24 best kitsandFC 24 best badges.
12 players were dropped into packs to make up FC 24 Versus Team 1 on Friday, January 5. That made for 24 cards in total, with each scoring both an Ice and Fire item. We’ve covered Son Heung-Min in plenty of detail above. Other noteworthy names include Al Hilal forward Neymar Jr, who gets 93-rated options at LW (Fire) and ST (Ice), and Kieran Trippier. The Newcastle defender nabs a fairly traditional Fire card at RB, but those looking to mix things up will be more tempted by his Ice item, which shifts him to CM. Both are rated 88.
Other intriguing FC 24 Versus Team 1 cards include Camavinga (LB/CDM, Real Madrid, 87) and Marta (RW/CAM, Orlando Pride, 89). The first FC 24 Versus SBC, meanwhile, is for Raheem Sterling (LW/RW, Chelsea, 88). All have been added to the full FC 24 Versus cards list at the foot of this guide.
FC 24 Versus Team 2 was unleashed into packs on Friday, January 12. The big standout is Manchester City midfielder Rodri. His Versus cards are both rated 91. Ice places him at CM, while Fire relocates him to CDM. Another intriguing option is Bayern defender Dayot Upamecano. You can use the Frenchman in his traditional CB position with an Ice card, or switch him out to RB with his fire item. Both are rated 87.
All cards have now been added to the list at the foot of this guide. That’s likely it for Versus, with FC 24 TOTY expected to land on Friday, 19 January. Want gameplay tips while you wait? Then dip your toes into GR’sFC 24 formationsguide.
Yes. Both Lukas Hradecky (Bayer Leverkusen, 88) cards keep him as a goalkeeper, and even maintain the same PlayStyles: Footwork and Cross Claimer. The difference here is simply down to ratings. Hradecky’s Ice card offers 93 reflexes, 88 diving, and 88 handling, while the Finn’s Fire card boasts 90 reflexes, 91 diving, and 84 handling.
Below is the complete FC 24 Versus cards list, correct as of Friday, January 12.
