Is Lamine Yamal in FC 24? Young player's absence explained
Is Lamine Yamal in EA Sports FC 24? The answer to this question requires some explanation, as it is a little complicated.
The 16-year-old (as of writing) Spain and Barcelona wonderkid has taken La Liga and the world by storm.
Netting seven goals and earning 10 assists across 50 appearances for Barcelona during the 23/24 season and starting in the Euro 2024 tournament for Spain, it’s fair to see why players around the world are keen to add Yamal to their Ultimate Team and Career Mode squads.
Because of his age, though, there are issues with Yamal being in FC 24.
Read on to find out if Lamine Yamal is in FC 24 or not.
Yes and no. Lamine Yamal is not in FC 24 Ultimate Team or Career Mode.
Strangely enough, though, you can play as Lamine Yamal in the Euro 2024 mode.
The Barcelona and Spain wonderkid isn’t in FC 24 Ultimate Team or even in Career Mode, with many considering the youth prospect (and regular first-team player) a big miss in the game.
You can only play as Yamal in the Euro 2024 mode as he’s a part of Spain’s squad for the real-life tournament. He doesn’t have a real face scan, but at least he’s in the game in one way or another.
Lamine Yamal isn’t in FC 24 Ultimate Team or Career Mode as he is too young, at just 16 years old.
As far as we can tell, EA Sports has a loose unwritten rule which disallows players younger than 17 from appearing in FC 24.
Other players aged 16 have appeared in FIFA games before, while others haven’t.
It’s a slightly confusing one but, essentially, Lamine Yamal is too young to be in EA FC 24 Ultimate Team and Career Mode.
Turning 17 on 13th July, there’s a small chance Yamal will be added to the game’s offline modes from that date, but we wouldn’t count on it.
