The FC 24 Radioactive promo saw EA attempt to brew up some extra chemistry for your Ultimate Team. Those players selected for thisEA Sports FC 24campaign add extra ‘chem’ to your line up even if you ignore all other cards from the same league or nation. Lionel Messi, Karim Benzema and Sam Kerr are among the tops picks. Below we explain how it all works, in your FC 24 Radioactive guide.
What is the FC 24 Radioactive promo?
The FC 24 Radioactive promo is a brand new event for this year’s reboot. Its launch brought an end to theFC 24 Thunderstruck Black Fridaycampaign. Radioactive is focussed on building chemistry, and gives an immediate boost for each item you have in your side. The specific numbers are outlined below. It means you can build a squad featuring numerous leagues and nationalities, and still emerge with full 33/33 chemistry in readiness for Division Rivals or the weekend league.
FC 24 Radioactive chemistry can be explained fairly easily. Drop a player from the promo into your team and he or she immediately scores +2 chemistry points. It doesn’t stop there. As EA explains, “They also give two links for their League, Club, and Nation to other players in your squad, doubling the effect their base version would have on your squad’s Chemistry.” Here’s how that looks, in table form:
FC 24 Radioactive gets a star-studded line-up, spearheaded by Lionel Messi (CF, Inter Miami, 92). It’s a clever move from EA. Messi inevitably features highly on theFC 24 ratingslist, but MLS and Argentine players don’t fit easily into theFC 24 meta. Now gamers can add him to their sides with minimal loss of chemistry.
FC 24 Radioactive Team 1 launched on Friday, December 1, and also added Samantha Kerr (ST, Chelsea, 91), Josko Gvardiol (CB, Manchester City, 86) and two noteworthy Al Ittihad players: Karim Benzema (CF, 92) and N’golo Kante (CDM, 89). All players and ratings can be seen in the FC 24 Radioactive cards list at the foot of this guide.
On the contrary, there was no FC 24 Radioactive Team 2. Most recent promos have only lasted a single week, such asFC 24 FC Pro Live. All signs pointed to FC 24 Radioactive following a similar pattern. Social media accounts purporting to be ‘in-the-know’ suggested that the campaign will be replaced with a FC 24 UCL Heroes promo on Friday, December 8. However, they were wrong too. Instead, we got a new campaign based around footballing family members, calledFC 24 Ultimate Dynasties.
There is indeed an FC 24 Advent Calendar that launched as part of the FC 24 Radioactive campaign. Unlike in certain FIFA years, however, you need to work for your treats. The Advent Calendar is based on completing SBCs, such as dumping 11 bronze players in exchange for a 75+ rated gold player. It doesn’t exactly scream festive generosity. There’ve been a lot of positives this year, but the Advent Calendar goes down as a disappointment.
The complete FC 24 Radioactive cards list can be seen below. It’s correct as of Friday, December 15. Don’t forget that you can bolster individual stats even further by making use ofFC 24 chemistry styles.

I’m GamesRadar’s sports editor, and obsessed with NFL, WWE, MLB, AEW, and occasionally things that don’t have a three-letter acronym – such as Chvrches, Bill Bryson, and Streets Of Rage 4. (All the Streets Of Rage games, actually.) Even after three decades I still have a soft spot for Euro Boss on the Amstrad CPC 464+.
