Who is Lamine Yamal?
Yamal, who is under contract with FC Barcelona, is only 16 years old and one of the most sought-after talents in world football. In the offensive area, he is one of the most promising players of this European Championship.
The youngster has made a strong start to UEFA EURO 2024 in Germany with the Spanish national team. Both he and his teammates have been convincing in the first European Championship games so far and have confidently finished first in their preliminary round group with 3 wins.
No wonder that many fans of EA FC 24 also want him in their team. But this is more complicated than expected, because the player is not present in Ultimate Team, nor in most other popular modes.
Yamal too young for Ultimate Team – EA makes an exception
Why is Yamal not in Ultimate Team?
The reason why you can't play Yamal in most modes in FC 24 is because of his age.
EA's motto for Ultimate Team is to only accept players who are at least 17 years old before the official release. According to the database for Ultimate Team on futbin.com, the youngest player is the Pole Jakub Paszkowski, who was born on September 16, 2006. Thus, shortly before the start of FC 24, he turned 17 years old.
It's actually a little different in career mode. Here you will find a variety of talents who are still 16 at the start of FC 24. Although Yamal was already a regular at FC Barcelona this year, you won't find him in career mode either. This could be due to the fact that Yamal will not turn until 13 July, i.e. at a very late date of FC 24, 17.
The young Spaniard also does not appear in all other offline and online modes.
What is the exception?
With the European Championship update, which we reported on in more detail at MeinMMO, the new UEFA EURO 2024 mode was introduced. In the course of the official player nominations for the European Championship, EA reacted accordingly and updated the squads of the participating national teams for the new mode.
This included the addition of Lamine Yamal, who was given a rating of 76. So far, he has not received a player picture from EA. His gameface in the game also still looks very generic.
So if you've wanted to play Yamal all season, you now have the opportunity to do so in the European Championship mode. Whether the youngster will also appear for the other game modes in FC 24 remains open so far. It's quite conceivable that we won't see his first card for Ultimate Team until FC 25.
