The game has only just been released, yet Erling Haaland is set to receive a huge 94 overall special item in FC 24 Ultimate Team. It is no surprise to see the Norwegian included in the first full promo event as he is the cover athlete, but a rating this high is incredible.

The FC 24 RTTK release date is coming soon. As with every release for the past couple of years, FC 24 RTTK leaks have been rife. The full squad has been revealed already, and EA has confirmed that Haaland will take part.

Take a look at Haaland’s new special item below.

FC 24 Erling Haaland 94 rating inbound

Let us first qualify the 94 overall. Initially Haaland will be rated 92 OVR, and that is what will be available in packs. However, thanks to the Road to the Knockouts upgrade system, Haaland will become a 94 overall before Christmas.

Again, this upgrade isn’t guaranteed. But come on. Manchester City have just won the treble, and have already taken victory in their first Champions League group match.

This stands them in good stead to qualify for the knockouts, which is one of the upgrade requirements. RB Leipzig may contend for top spot, but that doesn’t matter in RTTK.

The second upgrade will come when City wins two of their remaining five fixtures. With two games against Young Boys and RB Leipzig, and one against Red Star Belgrade, it would be a major shock if they don’t pick up at least two wins.

Is Haaland good in FC 24?

This question all depends around your playing style in EA Sports FC. According to our friends at EasySBC, Haaland does not even come close to being one of the best ‘Complete Strikers’ in the game.

However, if you prefer a more powerful ‘Target Forward’, you won’t find anyone better. Haaland’s Gold Rare item is the third best Target Forward in the game according to EasySBC’s meta rating system.
