Ligue 1 has struggled with the stigma of being called a “farmer’s league” ever since Paris Saint-Germain’s big-money project got underway. With the release of the EA FC 24 Ligue 1 Team of the Season, we can’t really blame anyone for dropping the derogatory term on the competition.
Does he deserve a Ligue 1 TOTS in EA FC 24?
EA FC 24’s selection of all the best players in France is final: PSG is the farmer, and every other team is the farm. Of the 23 players on the squad, eight play for Paris Saint-Germain. That’s just over a third of the total player count, and as predictable as such a lineup was, it’s still astonishing to see the grip the reigning champions have on Ligue 1.
It’s not just the numbers that are propelling PSG to such heights; it’s also the quality of their players. The top six players from the EA FC 24 Ligue 1 TOTS all play their trade at the Parc de Princes. With such a mix of quantity and quality, it’s a wonder Paris Saint-Germain aren’t on a Bayern-esque run of Ligue 1 titles, but then again, their European struggles have shown us that strong individuals aren’t enough to win it all.
We’ve yet to see a player rated above 97 OVR in Team of the Season. With one of the strongest candidates for the honor, Kylian Mbappe, getting a 97 OVR card, it’s looking increasingly likely that the 98 and any potential 99 rated items will be exclusive to the EA FC 24 Ultimate TOTS. That one isn’t out for a few weeks, so until then we’re all stuck with these “terrible” cards.
