2 player duos are in the spotlight due to the strong performances of the German and Spanish national teams. We took a look at the 4 young talents in FC 24 and reveal which duo is ahead in the game.
What kind of duos are they? The two duos consist of two young Germans and Spaniards respectively, who, despite their age, have what it takes to become the stars of EURO 2024:
- The German duo consists of Florian Wirtz and Jamal Musiala
- The Spanish duo consists of Nico Williams and Lamine Yamal
How do we compare the duos? Since the players are deployed on the left and right flanks in their national teams, they can be easily compared. We primarily compare the 6 main attributes (Speed, Shooting, Passing, Dribbling, Defense, and Physicality), but we also look at their playstyles.
Germany or Spain: Who has the better EURO duo in FC 24?
For the comparison, we looked at the new UEFA EURO mode in FC 24. Lamine Yamal can only be played in this mode. This is because the young talent will only turn 17 during the EURO. As a minor, he did not receive a card in Ultimate Team from EA yet.
Germany plays in the EURO mode in the real 4-2-3-1 formation. Wirtz plays as the left attacking midfielder (CAM), Musiala as the right CAM.
Spain plays in the EURO mode with a 4-3-3 formation, as they do in the real EURO. However, as of now (June 21), you need to include Williams and Yamal in the starting lineup yourself. Williams plays for Spain as the left winger (LW), Yamal as the right winger (RW).
Since the EURO mode is based on the current performances of the stars, we have also considered the so-called live form, which is automatically activated. This gives the values of the players significant upgrades at times, which we have indicated in parentheses behind the original rating.
Wirtz vs Williams: Who has the better stats in FC 24?
| Attribute to compare | Florian Wirtz | Nico Williams | Point for |
| Speed | 80(+8)= 88 | 93(+6)= 99 | Williams |
| Shooting | 76(+1)= 77 | 74(+7)= 81 | Williams |
| Passing | 86(+6)= 92 | 75 | Wirtz |
| Dribbling | 88(+6)= 94 | 86(+7)=93 | Wirtz |
| Defense | 50 | 36 | Wirtz |
| Physicality | 63(+2)= 65 | 65(+2)= 67 | Williams |
| Total of all attributes | 466 | 451 | Wirtz |
Who wins the stat comparison? Wirtz and Williams can each win 3 categories. In total, the German Wirtz is in the lead.
Comparison of playstyles:
Both players have the Trivela playstyle for better outside foot shots and the Flair playstyle for special passes and shots
Wirtz is capable of dribbling with tight ball control thanks to the Technique playstyle and First Touch playstyle. With the Key Pass playstyle, Wirtz can make pinpoint passes.
Williams’ playstyles are more focused on speed. With Speedster and Quick Step, he has a combination of playstyles that makes him feel even faster in a sprint.
Each has the appropriate playstyles for their position. Therefore, it is a tie here.
Musiala vs Yamal: Who has the better stats in FC 24?
| Attribute to compare | Musiala | Yamal | Point for |
| Speed | 85(+8)= 93 | 92(+8)= 90 | Musiala |
| Shooting | 75(+1)= 77 | 72(+7)= 79 | Yamal |
| Passing | 76(+6)= 82 | 68 | Musiala |
| Dribbling | 91(+5)= 96 | 81(+7)=88 | Musiala |
| Defense | 63 | 23 | Musiala |
| Physicality | 61(+2)= 63 | 48(+2)= 50 | Musiala |
| Total of all attributes | 474 | 398 | Musiala |
Who wins the stat comparison? Musiala can clearly win this duel. Only in shooting does Yamal have a slight advantage.
Comparison of playstyles:
Both players, like Wirtz and Williams, have the Flair playstyle for special passes and shots.
Musiala is the only one of the 4 players to have a playstyle+. Technique+ combined with the already strong dribbling stats and First Touch as a playstyle allows for extremely smooth dribbling. With the Tricks playstyle, the German can also perform special flick movements with the right analog stick.
Yamal, on the other hand, only has the normal Technique playstyle for support in dribbling. Additionally, he has the Quick Step playstyle, which gives him a speed boost for the first meters.
Technique+ alone ensures a clear victory for Musiala in the comparison of playstyles, as it enhances the R1-OP dribbling even further.
2:0 for the DFB team: Germany has the better EURO duo in FC 24
The German stars can prevail in the direct duel in FC 24 against their Spanish counterparts. While the comparison between Williams and Wirtz is quite close, Musiala clearly beats his Spanish opponent Yamal in almost every respect.
It would be exciting to follow the direct match on the field during the EURO to see if it turns out differently on real grass. But not only these 4 stars want to leave their mark on EURO 2024: Make Your Mark Tracker in FC 24: All players and upgrades at a glance
