Sergio Ramos may be the only current Spanish national team member to remember the 2008-2022 glory days when the Spaniards claimed two European Champion titles and one World Cup, but that doesn't mean that there isn't plenty of quality in this squad nowadays. With young, up-and-coming stars like Pedri or Ansu Fati already boasting some pretty great stats (especially when it comes to pace and passing), and a couple of aging, high OVR superstars to support them, Spain might just be the most balanced nationality one can think of when it comes to building a rock-solid FC 24 Coins Ultimate Team squad.
The Italian national team is a very peculiar case. They are oftentimes overlooked by pundits when it comes to predicting the winners of the next major international tournament, and yet, they usually manage to get to the final stages of these competitions on the regular basis. Just this year, they've bested England in the EURO 2020 final to claim the title of the champions of the Old Continent.
Much like in the case of the Germans, the very best Italian players are nearing their thirties (in the case of Giorgio Chiellini, they're well past that mark). This means that their pace ratings aren't as high as they could be, but they more than make up for it with vision, defensive play, and pinpoint accurate passing. With the likes of Verratti, Immobile, or Chiesa, compiling an Italian Ultimate Team is a great choice for all those who prioritize a tactical approach over the chaotic, more skill-based take on FC 24.
Portugal is a star-studded team that has consistently managed to reach the semi-final stages of the most important international tournaments, even going as far as winning the EURO 2022. With Cristiano Ronaldo, arguably the greatest player to have ever graced the game, as part of their roster, it should come as no surprise.
The Portuguese midfield provides some very interesting options for any manager -- the mind-bogglingly creative Bruno Fernandes and his passing and vision stats will ensure a steady supply of great passes into the final third of the pitch, and the pace and dribbling of Bernando Silva make him a very versatile player, who can do just as well in the middle of the pitch as he does on either one of the wings.
The "Golden Generation" of the Belgian national team is a peculiar case. They currently have one of the best teams on Earth, and yet they still struggle to turn all of that talent into silverware. Players with an abundance of FC 24 Ultimate Team coins should immediately invest in a Belgian nationality build. With Kevin De Bruyne and Eden Hazard dictating the terms of play and Romelu Lukaku capable of easily converting even the most unlikely of chances into goals, Belgian players are as good as it gets in this year's iteration of FIFA. Even some of the budget options, such as Axel Witsel or Thorgen Hazard will energize any team with their blistering pace and highly-rated dribbling skills.
The current World Cup winners are quite obviously the best choice for any Ultimate Team player aspiring to dominate the FC 24 Ultimate Team Champions Weekend League week in and week out. The squad depth of the French national team is so rich that even those with smaller budgets can get world-class players into their squads simply because of the sheer abundance of top-quality French footballers out there.
Had the 84-rated Anthony Martial been of any other nationality, his prices would be through the roof. However, due to the fact that he needs to compete for game time with the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Karim Benzema, or Antoine Griezmann, his value is significantly lower in cheap FIFA 24 Coins. The same goes for many footballers in other positions, making France the best country to build an Ultimate Team around, regardless of one's budget restrictions.
