EA Sports FC 25 is just around the corner, with its global release scheduled in a little over two weeks from the time of writing. Football fans worldwide want to know who this year’s best professional football players are—at least, according to EA Sports.
Most noticeably, it’s the first time in 16 years that neither Lionel Messi nor Cristiano Ronaldo are among the top players with the highest stats. Nor are the two legends of the game among this year’s Ballon d’Or top nominees—EA FC 25 truly marks the beginning of a new era.
Without further ado, here are the top 10 players ranked by EA FC 25.
The best players in EA FC 25 sorted by rating
Kylian Mbappe

Recently transferred to Real Madrid as a free agent, the 2020 World Cup champion with France is this year’s player with the highest stats. His inclusion among the top 10 players of EA FC 25 is a bit obvious, but the Frenchman’s pace, dribbling, and talent for scoring goals are just unmatched. If you follow football, or even if you don’t, you probably know who Kylian Mbappe is.

The Norwegian Viking has scored 260 goals at only 24 years of age. If he continues at this rate, he may one day come close to Cristiano Ronaldo’s jaw-dropping 900 career goals, probably 901 by the time this article is published. Erling’s natural instinct for scoring goals and his formidable physique make him the goal-scoring machine that he is today.

Since arriving at Real Madrid, Jude has been the team’s poster child. In a little over 12 months, the English box-to-box midfielder has proven to be worthy of Madrid’s number five, worn by historical greats such as Zinedine Zidane. We get a glimpse of his versatility just by looking at his overall high stats in the upcoming EA FC 25.
