According to Essentially Sports, Cristiano Ronaldo may be named the 12th player on the much awaited EA FC24 Team of the Year, which is expected to be unveiled this week.
Ronaldo’s strong 2023 performances could get him a spot, even though his ranking was significantly lowered—but only as an alternate.
Ronaldo might challenge Federico Valverde of Real Madrid and Trent Alexander-Arnold of Liverpool for the coveted 12th man berth, even if he doesn’t make the final eleven.
The choice will be made by fans, and Ronaldo’s enormous fan base may tilt the scales in his favor and overcome the decline in in-game ratings.
There is a lot of anticipation surrounding FC24’s Team of the Year, as players such as Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland are predicted to be included. But now that he’s with Al Nassr, Ronaldo might end up being the 12th man.
While Ronaldo’s in-game rating on EA’s FC24 dipped from 90 to 86 due to his relocation to the Saudi Pro League, his incredible goal-scoring accomplishment in 2023 still makes him a strong contender.
Despite his performance in the Saudi Pro League being questioned by some in comparison to La Liga and the Premier League, Ronaldo’s candidacy for Team of the Year is strengthened by the fact that he leads the league in goals scored with 54.
The fans will ultimately decide, and Ronaldo’s enormous global fan base may be very important, even though his in-game ratings do not fully represent the difficulties he has had since moving to Al Nassr.
Jordan Henderson, N’Golo Kante, and Sadio Mane were among the other players whose ratings dropped once they signed with the Saudi Pro League.
