Ronaldo released with an OVR of 114, placing him in the lower tier among TOTY players.

Aside from the OVR, his speed and acceleration (hereinafter referred to as 'pace') stats are disappointingly low for Ronaldo, causing some playful mockery. Even his in-game feel is somewhat clunky, making him not as universally easy to use as the CC season.

However, that doesn't mean he's absolutely bad. He's still Ronaldo at his core, and with full chemistry and focused training on a +5 card, you can reach a pace stat of 130. And if he's not a locked card and cheaper than the CC version, he's definitely worth buying.

Additionally, if you're still not satisfied with his speed, you can consider using him as a two-striker or central attacking midfielder to compensate.

▶ User Squad Analysis

- Juventus single squad with high completion based on high capital.
- 24TOTY-Ronaldo placed as a second-line central attacking midfielder for coexistence with TM-앙리.
- Good combination with wingers with good crosses.
- Can also be used as a two-striker depending on the situation.

Frequent TOTY guest, Virgil van Dijk.

His salary of 29 can be a bit burdensome. However, the recent total salary cap has increased to 255, and his OVR is 115 with highly complete stats. A 24TOTY +3 card is definitely superior to the currently most used 23HW +5 card and is on par with the former top 1 and 2, 23TOTY and FCA +5 cards.

The important thing is that a 24TOTY +3 card costs only around 150 billion BP. Of course, if you don't have enough salary, you should consider other options, but with the total salary cap raised to 255, if you have plenty of salary but want to save BP, using this card +3 is a very efficient choice.

▶ User Squad Analysis

- 24TOTY 8-player squad composed only of 2024 nominated players without compromising coexistence with other year TOTY players.
- Increased stability by using a large number of two-footed players such as 오펜다, 크바라츠헬리아, 무시알라, and 사비치.
- Van Dijk is the only 24TOTY season player included, which means the price accessibility is good.

[ 음바페 ]

Kylian Mbappe, also a frequent TOTY guest.

Aside from his high stat completion, he's practically the only two-footed Mbappe, so it's good to use him if you have the BP. The price range is very high, but since he receives both the top-tier and two-footed premium, you have to accept that.

It's hard to predict the future price and usage rate due to the high price. However, during the rental pack usage period, he is comfortably ranked 2nd in usage rate among 24TOTY players, along with Bellingham.

▶ User Squad Analysis

- Paris Saint-Germain squad utilizing the rental pack 24TOTY-Mbappe.
- Mbappe is not a physically strong player, so he is used as a two-striker.
- A typical usage method that covers Mbappe's weaknesses and maximizes his strengths.

[ 토니 크로스 ]

Football professor Toni Kroos, who was nominated in the past but was selected as TOTY this time.

Of course, he came out with the highest OVR of 115, making him the top Kroos card. However, with the CC or DC seasons with sharp finesse shot traits and well-equipped stats already out, you might wonder if you really need to use TOTY. Of course, you can use a +5 card, but the price easily exceeds 1.5 trillion BP.

However, as various usage reviews have recently emerged, the unique difference of the 24TOTY Kroos is often mentioned, which is that the feel is better than other seasons. Considering that the feel was still clunky in CC or DC, which caused some likes and dislikes, this can be seen as a very meaningful evaluation.

Similar to Van Dijk, the price of a +3 card does not exceed 200 billion. If you are already using a CC or DC +5 card well, you don't necessarily need to switch, but if you want to use a cost-effective and highly complete Toni Kroos, using just a 24TOTY +3 card is sufficient.

▶ User Squad Analysis

- All two-footed German squad using 24TOTY-Kroos +5 card.
- All three central midfielders are kick specialists with good passing and shooting based on high curve stats.
- Good defensive stats, so two defensive midfielder usage is also recommended.

[ 라우타로 마르티네스 ]

Lautaro Martinez, who lifted the World Cup with Messi.

Compared to the previous top-tier 23TOTS season, the 'Power Header' trait is missing, which is a shame, but the overall attack and core stats have increased. Only the long-range shooting stat is a bit disappointing, but the Inter single effect (finishing, long-range shooting +3) can cover this weakness to some extent.

One-top is okay, but since his physical condition is not great, it is better to use him as a two-striker. Heading contests are disappointing, but he is a player with excellent overall feel, movement, and finishing, so he is not very divisive regardless of whether you use a pad or keyboard.

▶ User Squad Analysis

- Inter squad using 24TN-Lautaro +5 card at the forefront.
- A really good top resource to use in a 3 trillion squad.
- Since his physical condition is not great, using him as a two-striker is also quite good.

[ 모라타 ]

Alvaro Morata, who came out as a nominee season for the first time this time.

The fact that he has become the highest OVR is important, but the fact that Morata's Achilles heel, the core stats, have been well compensated compared to the OVR is very impressive. Important abilities such as balance and composure have improved significantly, and long-range shooting has also become quite good.

Of course, he is not a good resource if you build a squad with a high club value. However, he is a resource that is worth considering as a cost-effective main or sub striker. There are also many popular team colors such as Real Madrid, Chelsea, Juventus, and ATM.

▶ User Squad Analysis

- Atletico Madrid squad using 24TN-Morata +5 card as a two-striker.
- A resource that can be fully utilized in a squad of 1 trillion or less.
- His physical condition is great, so he is good as a one-top, but he is also good as a two-striker because he is two-footed.

[ 모하메드 살라 ]

Mohamed Salah, a player that many football fans were disappointed that he was not selected as TOTY.

Although he was not selected as TOTY this time, the stats themselves are quite high. He has the 'Finesse Shot' trait, and he also has 'Flair', and speed, shooting, and core stats are all better than previous seasons. The technical feel and stepover performance in the game are also undoubtedly good.

However, the problem is that the price is a bit burdensome. It costs slightly over 1 trillion BP based on a +5 card, but if you really like Salah, you can put him in a 2 trillion squad, but it is a price range that you should consider in a squad of at least 3-4 trillion.

▶ User Squad Analysis

- Liverpool squad using 24TN-Salah +5 card as a two-striker.
- Definitely a resource suitable for squads of at least 3 trillion BP or more rather than cost-effective squads.
- It is not impossible to use him as a two-striker, but side usage is his aptitude anyway.
