Football Manager 2024 rankings: Top 50 players & their CA ratings

Are you assembling an unbeatable lineup in FM24? We’ve curated a list of the elite 50 players you’ll need to know about to craft your perfect team in Football Manager 24.

Forget FIFA’s card ratings, FM24 employs the ‘Current Ability’ (CA) scale, rating players from 1 to 200, with the pinnacle scores denoting the crème de la crème of footballing prowess.

FM calculates a player’s current ability by looking at their attributes and weak foot strength. This is different from the star ratings scouts and coaches will assign players which takes much more into account. A player’s CA can’t be seen without the use of either an official editor or a compatible third-party tool.

With that said these are the top 50 players in Football Manager 2024 based on their current ability ratings in the database.
