Okay, so I’ve been messing around with “Gifted Athlete” builds in FC 24, and let me tell you, it’s been a wild ride. I wanted to share my experience, what I did, and how it all turned out. Hopefully, this helps someone out there!
Getting Started
First, I jumped into Player Career Mode. I mean, that’s where the “Gifted Athlete” thing really shines, right? You gotta build that player from the ground up.

When creating my player, I focused on the physical stats. I m talking serious speed, strength, and stamina. Those are the key, because, the attributes can grow a lot faster if select them at the beginning.
Training Days
The training drills are a bit of a pain, no lie. I used to skip it before. But, the training is the key to get your rating get higher. So, I grinded through them. I repeated the same drills over and over, trying to get those “A” grades. It’s tedious, but it pays off.
- Focus on drills that boost the core “Gifted Athlete” stats.
- Don’t skip training days. Ever. Seriously.
- Aim for the highest grades possible.
Match Performance
In matches, I really tried to play to my player’s strengths. I made those lung-busting runs, muscled defenders off the ball, and basically just ran like a madman all game. It’s tiring, even in a video game, but that’s the whole point of this build.
The Results?
Honestly, my player has seen better grow than before.
It’s not a perfect science, and there’s probably a bunch of different ways to approach this. But that’s what I did, and it worked okay for me. Just remember, it’s a grind, but it can be pretty rewarding to see your player turn into an absolute beast.
