The best players in EA FC 25

After years of two players dominating the EA FC (formerly FIFA) ratings, it’s refreshing to see some variety at the top of the tree.

Of course, we refer to Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, who have now been overthrown by their younger competitors in the rankings. They’re still hanging around in EA FC 25, but they’re no longer centre of attention.

But who are the players that have usurped the serial Ballon d’Or winners? Here are the 50 highest-rated players in this year’s game.

Club: Arsenal
Nationality: England
Position: RW

Arsenal pushed Manchester City all the way once again in last season’s Premier League title race, with Bukayo Saka instrumental to their chase. Another positive campaign has seen him handed an upgrade, swapping 86 for an impressive 87 overall rating.

There are plenty of Bundesliga wonderkids available on EA FC 25 but Bayern Munich’s Jamal Musiala could be the most fun in-game. The Germany international has five-star skill moves and four-star weak foot to go alongside his awesome 90 dribbling.
