- Henry (TM, EBS)

King of the Premier League, Thierry Henry.

First of all, the most overwhelming performance is definitely TM. The only ambidextrous season among Henry's entire seasons is decisive, and the goal-scoring ability based on speed and overwhelming curling shots is also an indispensable part. Even the header is surprisingly good, unlike existing prejudices or stats.

Of course, it is true that the dribbling is a bit long. However, it is not so uncomfortable to use as a striker, and even if it is a little uncomfortable, the advantages and cracking qualities of Moment Henry have already been proven in the competition, so it is not a problem to be concerned about. If the card doesn't suit you, it may be because you insist on dribbling or too detailed play.

I tried using EBS 8 card, which can be compared to Moment in terms of stats below, but it had its own advantages, but it was definitely much lacking compared to TM. First of all, speed and right-footed shooting were definitely Tier 1. The performance and long-range ZD using the power shot were game changers in themselves. However, except for that part, it was too lacking compared to Moment, and even though I put on Power Header, the header performance was not better than TM.

In summary, it is difficult to easily recommend using a one-footed Henry except for the TM season. If you want a cost-effective French top, it's not a bad choice, but in the current meta where headers and both feet must be equipped to secure some competitiveness, it is definitely not a highly complete option.

- Trezeguet (TM)

King of Headers, David Trezeguet.

When you think of Trezeguet, headers come to mind first. The basic impact, as well as the movement to receive crosses and the ability to compete are very high, so it is quite popular among users who prefer cross-header play. In addition, the penetration movement and goal-scoring ability in the box are also very excellent, so he has a lot of typical striker qualities.

However, the feel is very disappointing. If Henry was uncomfortable because the dribbling length was long, Trezeguet is uncomfortable because the direction change is quite dull. So, he is one of the players who are said to be 'you shouldn't try to do anything with the ball', and he is especially less preferred by pad users, so he is rarely picked as a Moment in competitions.

Still, it has some value in normal official matches. It can be used as a one-top or two-top, and users who run Juventus or French squads should try it at least once.

- Mbappé (24TOTY)

Next Real Madrid striker, Kylian Mbappé.

The hottest season right now is 24TOTY. It is practically the only ambidextrous Mbappé, and the non-stop shot or left-footed shot performance when the balance is broken in the game is definitely better than the weak foot 4 season. And based on 3 card, it doesn't boast overwhelming speed stats, but the speed felt in the game is quite fast. In addition, since it is a 2024 French target, if you match the squad well, you can receive +4 speed and acceleration, so at least the speed part is not a big problem.

However, it is definitely disappointing to play thick lines such as long-range shots and headers. The shooting-related stats are not low, but strangely, the accuracy of long-range shots outside the box was definitely not good, and the header was not good either.

Overall, it can be evaluated as a two-top optimized striker with excellent penetration and ambidextrous goal-scoring ability in the box. Considering the price with the 1st tier premium, it is difficult to recommend in terms of cost-effectiveness, but if you want a sure two-top penetration resource, it is definitely a very good choice.

- Thuram (23TOTS)

23TOTS-Thuram, which suddenly made a reverse run with the appearance of the 2024 French characteristic team color.

If you look at the overall profile or stats, it looks like a dull-feeling, header-specialized bulky targetter, but the in-game performance is a bit different from expectations. Rather, the feel is better than expected and the header is not that strong, so the absolute performance is not that great, but it is evaluated as an all-around attacker.

If you want to get a decent 2024 French silver card top resource for less than 800 billion BP, it is worth recommending. It is a choice that can secure both penetration and header decently.

- Benzema (23TOTY)

Karim Benzema, who was not included in this French national team.

If you exclude speed, it is actually a near-perfect striker. Basically, he is ambidextrous and has decent linking ability that is not inferior to midfielders, as well as stable goal-scoring ability and a strong header option. It is more suitable to be used as a two-top than a one-top, and as a central attacking midfielder than a two-top.

In terms of usage rate, 23TOTY is the highest, but if you want a slightly more cost-effective season than this, I recommend the DC season. The physical fight may be a little less than 23TOTY, but the header is not inferior even though it does not have the 'Power Header' characteristic, and the feel is definitely better.

- Ousmane Dembélé (23UCL)

Ousmane Dembélé, who is a perfect ambidextrous and dice-type winger.

Dembélé's main advantages include both feet and fast speed. These are intuitively important features in football games, so they are the main reasons why Dembélé is so popular now, and especially if you receive the 2024 French team color effect, you can receive an additional +4 speed and acceleration here.

However, the lack of balance stats, which has been a chronic disadvantage since before, is still the same. Although he received a live boost of +6 compared to the initial ability, the stat does not exceed 120 based on 5 card full chemistry. So, there are many cases where Dembélé's unique momentarily lengthening dribbling or competition situations become very unstable.

Still, because he is a key winger for the 2024 French team color, he is almost essential to be used along with Griezmann when creating the squad.

- Le Fée (23NG)

Enzo Le Fée, a surprisingly good French winger.

As French ambidextrous wingers, there are Ribéry, Le Fée, and Savanier, but the player who can give high scores in terms of price and overall completeness is 23NG-Le Fée. The price spectrum is wide, so you can easily use up to 7 card, and it shows above-average performance in movement, speed, feel, linking, and shooting.

Although he does not receive the 2024 team color, he is the most recommended winger resource in general French single or cost-effective French.

- Ribéry (ICON, JNM)

Dominator of the French side, Franck Ribéry.

When you think of Ribéry, you can point to fast speed and concise dribbling as the biggest advantages. He is considered a representative technical dribbler, and now that both feet have become the default value, he is evaluated as the best option in cutback situations. And the existing weakness, the cross stat, has also been greatly supplemented with the ICON and JNM seasons, further increasing the completeness.

Sometimes there are questions about which season to choose between the Icon and Journeyman seasons. In this case, if you value unique characteristics, I recommend using Icon, and if you care about statistical superiority, I recommend using the Journeyman season.

- Griezmann (23UCL, HG)

Griezmann, who is a 2024 French target and is currently a key resource for France.

From an in-game performance perspective, it is very difficult to find a winger like Griezmann. The rushing penetration movement, shooting, and linking ability are all good, and especially the dribbling feel is very good even though the height is 176cm, which is large for a winger. In other words, it is an all-around resource that can be used threateningly in penetration, cutback, and cross situations.

Of course, in the current situation where there are many ambidextrous winger players, it is true that weak foot 4 is a bit disappointing. However, the advantages mentioned above are so effective in the game that you don't really care about it when you actually use it. And he uses his right foot better than you think.

It is a highly recommended card in the 2024 team color as well as in general French single. Personally, I evaluate it as boasting a performance one level above Ousmane Dembélé, who is ambidextrous.

- Savanier (RTN)

Montpellier captain, Téji Savanier.

Savanier's advantages include both feet and hexagonal stats. He is an ambidextrous player with his right foot as his main foot, so he is easy to use universally, and his shooting, linking, and core stats are all well-equipped at a high level, showing stable in-game performance. It is a bonus that he has better physical fight ability than you think.

However, if you can't use it as a gold card full chemistry, it is very disappointing that the speed is slow. Even the gold card price is close to 2 trillion, so it is actually a card that you don't need to choose unless it is a high-value squad.

In summary, it is highly recommended if you use it as a gold card in a high-value squad, but if not, it is better to use other cards.

- Fekir (SPL)

Nabil Fekir, whose in-game beard is very impressive.

Fekir's main advantage is kicking. The shooting and cross ability are considerable, and the long-range shots attempted after digging inside and the crosses raised to the attackers on the side both have the ability to change the game. In addition, the physical is quite good for a winger, 75kg and a sturdy build, so you will rarely be pushed back in a competition with a full-back.

However, there is room for some likes and dislikes in terms of in-game control. First of all, it is not ambidextrous, and the height is suitable for a winger, but as mentioned above, the sturdy build may make you feel that the direction change is a bit dull.

Although he is not a 2024 chemistry target, he is a player with definite merits as a gold card chemistry spot. If you want to use a winger who has a different and definite strength than Dembélé or Griezmann, it is worth recommending.

- Coman (EBS)

A famous league championship contractor, but Coman, who eventually knelt before Kane's trophy drought.

Coman's advantage is speed. The speed of running and running is so fast, and the body is light, so it shows the ultimate force when using the 'move immediately after first touch' training coach.

However, the problem is that there is nothing else to show off these days besides that advantage. In the past, the cross ability was good, but now it doesn't seem easy to show off as a competitive advantage, and the dribbling feel and weak foot problem are also very disappointing.

He is one of the 2024 chemistry targets, but in some ways, he is also a player who is not free from the evaluation of being a fast trash. The weak foot 4 season came out with this EU24 season, so it is necessary to watch how the evaluation will be afterwards.

- Zidane (ICON)

Maestro, Zidane.

There is no need to mention specific advantages, he has all the parts that a central midfielder should have at a high level. It is difficult to find a player to compare with except De Bruyne in terms of shooting and linking ability based on both feet, and the physical fight ability is also considerable. And the dribbling stability is added to these physical abilities, so he doesn't lose the ball really well and the turnover frequency is really low.

If I had to pick a disadvantage, I could mention that he is not as fast as Gullit and his header is not good. However, that part is really the versatility that only Gullit has, so it is too harsh to pick that part as a negative factor.

He can be used as a central attacking midfielder or central midfielder, and in the case of the ICON season, he has some defensive ability, so he can be used as a two-defensive midfielder. However, as a defensive midfielder partner, it is very effective in that using a player with very good defensive power like Petit can complement each other's strengths and weaknesses.

In addition, if you want to use a Zidane that is more specialized in attack, I recommend the J.A season.

- Petit (ICON, CFA)

FC Online's fundamental defensive midfielder, Emmanuel Petit.

Petit's biggest advantage is definitely defensive power. There is Petit's unique defensive performance that cannot be explained simply by ability stats, and especially the interception and powerful yet accurate tackle ability based on high activity are unmatched. In addition, the left-footed long-range shot is also very excellent.

The disadvantage is definitely weak foot 3. Since it is not set to weak foot 4 even in the Moment season, the right-footed performance is very unstable, and in fact, the shooting as well as the passing is unstable to the point that it can be seen as 2.

Despite these disappointing points, if you use a player with high linking stability as a partner in the two-defensive midfielder, you can maximize the advantages in the game. Especially in the case of the CFA season, the balance stat is also decent, so it is more stable than any other season for the price, and it is a very practical choice even if you don't necessarily receive the gold card chemistry.

- Vieira (UT)

Patrick Vieira, who was the dominator of the midfield in the early days.

Overall, it is very similar to Petit. It has the commonality of being a weak foot 3 and having very good defensive power, as well as being a French fighter-type central midfielder.

However, in the case of Petit, he is also equipped with shooting ability, so Vieira is often lowered to center back rather than 3rd line. However, in the case of this UT season, the long-range shot stat has been greatly supplemented to a really high level, so he has greatly acquired the qualities as a midfielder. This part is actually felt in the game.

However, the salary is too high. 28 is a figure that can be compared to most Icon seasons as well as Moments, but if you invest this much salary in a weak foot 3 midfielder, it is better to just use CFA-Petit gold card. If you want to use a complete Vieira, it is a choice that is worth recommending, but you need to think again about whether it is a really efficient choice when you consider your overall squad balance.

- Thuram (UT)

Khephren Thuram, Marcus Thuram's younger brother.

First of all, it is worth mentioning the stable defense and linking ability compared to the large physical condition and price. He doesn't lose to most attackers, and he is decent in both short and long passes, and he is also very active, so he is a player who stably does at least 1 person's worth.

However, the low long-range shot stat is holding him back. Even the salary is high, so I wonder if it would be better to choose the 22NG season as a cost-effective gold card.

Considering these advantages and disadvantages, it is more suitable for a cost-effective one-defensive midfielder than a two-defensive midfielder, and it is more useful for a cost-effective club than a high-value club. In addition, he is not a 2024 French team color target.

- Gonalons (HG)

It's Gonalons, not Gonalung.

First of all, the fact that he is an ambidextrous central midfielder is the most noticeable. In addition, the gold card price accessibility is good, and the physical condition is decent, and the linking and defense stats are excellent. He is a very rare type of midfield resource in France.

As a disadvantage, I can mention the low long-range shot stat. However, strangely enough, I felt that the long-range performance felt in the game was better than the stats. Of course, it is definitely not at the level of Ballack or Lampard, but he put in enough shots attempted in open chances.

Considering the above advantages and disadvantages comprehensively, this card is suitable for use as a defensive midfielder. And it is necessary to keep in mind that he is more suitable for a one-defensive midfielder than a two-defensive midfielder because he is a tall ambidextrous player.

- Tchouaméni (24TN)

Tchouaméni, a Real Madrid active midfielder. He is also a 2024 French team color target.

First of all, he shows considerable strength in linking and defensive power. The short pass and long pass accuracy are considerable so that the 'Pass Master' unique characteristic is not colorless, and although he is a lean build, he does not lose much in overall defensive performance and competition situations. Even the physical condition is large, so in some ways, it can be seen as a Vieira with less weight.

However, weak foot 3 and shooting stats are still disadvantages of Tchouaméni that have not been resolved. In particular, this part is a very important virtue that central midfielders must have in the current meta, so it is even more disappointing.

Since these advantages and disadvantages are so clearly divided, some users sometimes use it as a center back rather than a defensive midfielder. If you want a defensively stable two-defensive midfielder resource or a center back with good linking ability, you can use this card.

- Rabiot (24TN, HG)

Rabiot, who is also a 2024 French team color target midfield resource.

To put it simply, it can be seen as a left-footed Tchouaméni with slightly lower physical fight ability. He is tall and has the uniqueness of being left-footed, but since there is a higher-level player called Petit in this part, he has only been used as a cost-effective or temporary measure.

However, as mentioned above, you can expect a higher usage rate than before as he becomes a 2024 chemistry target. Of course, you can use a wild card to select other players, but if you want to match an ALL 2024 squad, you almost have to use it.

- Saliba (24TN)

Saliba, who is Arsenal's starting center back and has been selected for the French national team in real life, but is not a 2024 chemistry target.

He is a typical central defender. Based on his large physical condition, he shows stable competition ability, and the overall defensive ability is also stronger than full-backs. There were opinions that the aerial competition is unstable, but personally, I didn't feel that way.

However, it is definitely a bit dull in the reverse motion part. The weight is 85kg, and the height is stable over 190cm, so you may feel a little uncomfortable when turning once. In addition, the speed stat is not high, so it is easy to give up the back space if you are not used to catching the cursor.

There is some weight, but since this disadvantage is not small, it is difficult to recommend to keyboard users who do not have a smooth direction change compared to pads.

- Upamecano (23UCL, 21UCL)

Upamecano, who was selected for this national team and is also a 2024 French team color target.

Upamecano is one of the few traditional center backs with both physical and flexibility. With stable speed and physical fight based on his unique elasticity, he can at least stably stop the first stop, whether the speed is fast or the physical fight is strong. Strangely, if there is no software problem in the real tournament and the labu does not drop, there is nothing to be disappointed about.

It is worth recommending to pads as well as keyboards. Especially since he is a 2024 chemistry target, he is also evaluated as an almost essential center back along with Theo.

- Konaté (21UCL)

Physical monster, Ibrahima Konaté. He is also a 2024 French chemistry target.

Konaté's greatest strength is the wide defensive range based on his large physical condition. Aerial competition and physical fight competition are of course good, but especially the tackle range using long legs is very wide. It is not inferior even when compared to Van Dijk, who is evaluated as the top tier of tackles.

However, since he is too bulky, there is no choice but to have reverse motion. Personally, I felt that I could handle Saliba to some extent, but from Konaté onwards, it became difficult to defend the back space. In addition, the acceleration stat, which is especially more important for center backs, is low, so it may feel even more so.

It is difficult to easily recommend to keyboard users as well as pad users unless it is a decent enhancement level. However, if you put it in one of the center back positions in the 5-back, you can somewhat offset the disadvantages and maximize the advantages.

- Koundé (24TN)

Jules Koundé, an active Barcelona defender and a 2024 French team color target.

The biggest advantage is the agile feel. He is originally flexible in movement enough to play as a full-back in real life, and since he is equipped with stable defensive ability here, he is a player who is especially well-suited for keyboard users. In particular, he shows a very stable appearance in personal defense as well as blocking pass paths.

However, there is a slight instability in the competition part. Although there seems to be nothing lacking statistically, he is not basically a high-class defender, so he is not so stable when facing an attacker over 80kg who has properly received acceleration.

As mentioned above, he is more recommended for keyboard users than pads. He is most suitable for one of the 5-back positions, but there is no big problem even if you put him in one of the 4-back positions.

- Brassier (UT)

Brassier, who came out as a new season. He was not selected for this national team and is not a 2024 chemistry target.

To evaluate in one sentence, 'A complete French left-footed center back'. The speed stat is not lacking compared to the price, and there are no holes in the overall defensive stats, and he actually uses stable performance. The balance stat is a bit disappointing, but it is not greatly felt in the game and he does his part sufficiently.

Until now, if you said French left-footed center back, most of them were players who had to use gold cards to be efficient, such as Theo or Lucas Hernandez or Umtiti, Lenglet, and Kimpembe, who are full-back resources. But now, a card that is good even if you only use silver cards at a good cost-effectiveness has appeared, and this in itself is quite meaningful.

- Ndicka (22UCL)

22UCL-Ndicka, who was a surprising honey player.

Like Brassier, he is a left-footed player and has a very high overall completeness. He is 192cm tall, which is quite tall for a center back, but the main force is fast, so it was not difficult to defend the back space. The balance stat looked a bit disappointing, but he showed stable defense without being greatly pushed in the game, and he almost never lost in the aerial competition.

Even the gold card price is cheap without bubbles, so it is a highly recommended item for users who are trying to match a gold card chemistry squad. However, unfortunately, he is not a 2024 French team color target.

- Pavard (UT)

Pavard, who came out as a new season this time. He was selected for the national team in real life and is also a 2024 chemistry target.

Pavard's greatest strength is flexibility. First of all, the speed is stable, and he is a defender who goes back and forth between the side and the center, so the reverse motion is much less than other traditional central center backs. There is nothing lacking in the defensive performance attempted with the foot.

However, there are definitely disappointing points in terms of aerial competition. He is not a player whose physical fight itself is so strong, and naturally he loses quite a bit in aerial competition, and especially when facing players such as Gullit and Ronaldo, he often gives up headers easily.

When you combine the overall characteristics, he is more suitable for keyboard users than pads. He can be used well enough in one of the 4-back as well as 5-back positions.

- Vieira (BTB)

Vieira, who is showing more of his appearance as a center back these days.

The biggest advantage of BTB-Vieira is definitely cost-effectiveness. In the past, a lot of items were released with the gold card pack, so he boasts overwhelming cost-effectiveness, and he is an item that you should search for once when using a gold card chemistry squad. In addition, the advantages that Vieira has, such as physical fight and long leg tackle, are still alive.

If you want a stable center back gold card item while using the French team color, it is recommended without difficulty. However, of course, since he is not a 2024 chemistry target, the usage rate is expected to decrease afterwards.

- Theo Hernandez (22UCL)

Theo Hernandez, who was selected for the national team and is also a 2024 French chemistry target.

He can be evaluated as the number one full-back beyond Cha Du-ri. The usage rate itself may be higher for Cha Du-ri, but Theo has already surpassed him in terms of overall performance and stability. Overwhelming speed is a basic option, so if you gave up the back space, you should check your skills first. And the in-game stability is considerable compared to the not-so-high defensive stats, and he shows decent appearance in physical fight as well as aerial competition.

He can be seen as almost essential in general French single as well as 2024 French squad. 22UCL with excellent cost-effectiveness is the most recommended, and 24TOTY is available if you want to use a sure season.

In addition, he is a player who shows very excellent performance in full-back as well.

- Lucas Hernandez (BTB)

Theo Hernandez's brother, Lucas Hernandez. He was not selected for the national team list, but he is a 2024 French chemistry target.

First of all, the agile feel without reverse motion is the best. If you feel uncomfortable with reverse motion when using this player as a center back, you are destined to feel uncomfortable with reverse motion no matter which player you use except Cha Du-ri.

However, the problem is that the physical fight is weak as much as that. The stability in basic shoulder fights is falling, and there are quite a few cases where he does not overcome the competition against an attacker who has properly received speed and gives up the back space as it is.

He is a player who is more suitable for keyboard users than pad users, but even for those keyboard users, it is recommended to use him in one of the 5-back positions rather than 4-back.

- Ferland Mendy (21UCL, 23UCL)

Real Madrid active left-back, Ferland Mendy. He is not a 2024 French chemistry target.

He is a very rare ambidextrous full-back whose main foot is the left foot. In the case of a player with this characteristic, he can be stably used on the left, and he can add stability during build-up or escape from pressure. Especially, he is a very valuable resource for users who actively use full-back overlapping.

As a season for actual use, there are mainly 21UCL and 23UCL seasons. Overall, it seems similar, but there is a slight difference in the feel and physical stability, with the 21UCL season being a bit heavier and having better physical fight ability, and the 23UCL season having better direction change and being more flexible.

Therefore, if you want a stable 4-back line defense, I recommend 21UCL, and if you want a wing-back season in a tactic that enjoys overlapping or 5-back, I recommend using the 23UCL season.

- Anthony Caci (HG)

Anthony Caci, not Anthony Martial.

Unlike Ferland Mendy, he is an ambidextrous full-back whose main foot is the right foot. As you can see from the large physical condition and stable defensive stats for a full-back, the in-game defensive ability is no less than a center back. In addition, the stability during build-up or overlapping is outstanding, and the cross ability is also good, so he often records assists.

If I had to pick a disappointing point, I could pick a slightly slow speed. However, surprisingly, it is not as slow as I thought in the game, and personally, I didn't feel it was particularly uncomfortable.

Although he is not a 2024 chemistry target, the gold card cost-effectiveness is very good, so it is a choice that is worth considering in a general French single squad.

- Jonathan Clauss (24TN)

24TN-Clauss, who is showing a huge price increase as he is included in the 2024 French team color list.

Clauss's greatest strength is versatility on the side. He has decent physical and weak foot 4, and there are no lacking parts in the overall attack stats and defense stats. Therefore, he is often used as a wing-back or winger to reduce the salary burden as well as a general full-back.

However, surprisingly, Clauss's cross ability was not as good as I thought. I didn't feel that it was as accurate and sharp as the stat numbers showed, and personally, I think it was affected by the low composure stat.

- Lloris (CAP)

Lloris, who was not selected as a national team member this time. He is not on the 2024 French team color list either.

Lloris's greatest strength is definitely reaction speed and agility. With a height of 188cm and even a lean build, the shooting save in the box shows better performance than any other goalkeeper. You can worry about long-range shooting, but personally, I used it well without having any major complaints.

Although he does not receive the 2024 chemistry, he is recommended without difficulty in a cost-effective French gold card squad.

- Maignan (LIVE)

Maignan, who is a national team selection and also a 2024 chemistry target.

If it is a live season, I don't expect much. Of course, that doesn't mean he can't save at all, and he saves enough of what he can block, and he catches aerial balls relatively stably.
