It can make picking your formation and best line-up take a little longer, but playing Foden and Doku in the same position but with different roles, I did see an impact in how the players moved around the pitch. It seems good for Career Mode, but takes away from the pick up and go feeling of playing with friends or online, and how it will work in Ultimate Team when cards change players’ stats is still uncl
Carvajal is a player who thrives on being aggressive on defense, forcing turnovers and making it hard for rival players to make good passes. With an 85 Aggression stat, this athlete exemplifies consistent pressure that you can use to force enemy teams to make crucial mistakes. 81 Sprint Speed and 82 Acceleration also combine to allow Carvajal to close in on opposing players at alarming spe
The Left Back Joao Cancelo is a balanced pick for any team's defense, with strong 88 Stamina and 86 Acceleration stats that allow him to cover a lot of ground. However, it's the outstanding control that Cancelo claims over the ball that makes him stand out among other defenders. With an 87 Ball Control score, you'll be able to keep possession under pressure long enough to send the ball far away from your goa
Kylian Mbappé is the final entry on this list of the highest-rated players in EA Sports FC 25, and the French superstar is tied at the top spot with a few other superstars. Speaking of his overall statistics, he probably has the best numbers for a base card in the FC25 game blog Collectibles, and a player of his caliber will help you turn the matches in your fa
Among the top players, Bellingham received the best upgrade. He has gone from an overall rating of 86 in EA Sports FC 24 to a rating of 90. Besides that, a few players have also received minor balancing to their st
FC 25 has made a commendable effort to change the tactical system in a way that feels tangible. Flexibility has clearly been the mantra: training plans and match tactics have been changed comparatively radically, with more focus on individual roles. One of the headlines (especially for Liverpool fans), is the addition of the falseback role (inverted full-back by another name), but there's more to the chan
Virgil van Dijk is the defensive player with the highest Overall Rating in EA Sports FC 25 , but that's not why he is special. This player has outstanding physical stats, sporting 90 Defensive Awareness and 93 Strength to enforce that knowledge. With 90 Composure as well, van Dijk is a calm, collected soldier who hits like a tank at only the right moments to help your team the m
With an overall rating of 91, Aitana Bonmatí could be the player to transform your midfield completely. Her main attribute is her solid dribbling, which allows her to slip past the opponent's defenders without putting in a lot of eff
James Maddison has become an absolute star at Tottenham Hotspur, and the English international could be a valuable addition to your Ultimate Team. He could become the focal point in terms of chance creation, and playing him behind the striker will be particularly help
Jamal Musiala is currently one of the biggest talents in world football, and the German footballer has established himself in Bayern Munich’s starting lineup. He is filled with outstanding qualities, and his dribbling abilities provide him with an edge over most of the attacking midfielders on this l
In terms of presentation, mascots, manager reactions, and crowds have been revamped for more dynamic match camera direction, and for the first time ever there's a Performance versus Resolution graphics mode. With longer match intros (as well as skipping them all together), it feels like a lot of tweaks are being offered here in lieu of a true evolution we’ve seen in the past few ye
Antonio Rudiger has some of the best balance between all his defensive skills more than other Center Backs in the game. 85 Interception, 87 Sliding Tackle, and 86 Defensive Awareness combine to create a defender who doesn't slack in any category. A 91 Sprint Speed score also means Rudiger will find ways to chase down opposing strikers quickly to disrupt attempted sh
Passing intelligence has also been overhauled, making it far more complex, in an attempt to introduce personality as an influence and reflect a more realistic experience. It's frustrating, but does feel more true to life. Bad weather also has tangible impact on play, which is fair, but again, will take some getting used
Not many other defenders have Physicality stats like Rudiger either, such as his 91 Strength and 92 Aggression. Like Hernandez, Rudiger works perfectly as your primary defensive player, or the one who's always at the forefront of the action. Cross passes across the middle can easily be contested by this athlete to make scoring a nightmare for any rival t
