FC 25 ratings confirmed: Top-rated players in EA Sports FC 25
Rodri? Palmer? Vinicius Jr? Mbappé? Haaland? Messi? Here's who was crowned the best rating by EA.
After months of waiting, the latest edition of the global football simulator is now here.
That's right! EA Sports FC 25 is now available for anyone in early access, with the full game set to launch worldwide later this week.
More importantly, we now know the ratings for both the men and women's games. Let the year-long debate commence! Should Haaland be that high? Why is Cole Palmer that low? How is Aleksandar Pavlović only a silver? These are some of the many discussions that will follow as a result.
On top of that, we now have Heroes and Icons cards, with Chelsea fan favourite Eden Hazard leading the line-up. Another rating that will no doubt be argued over at length.
If you want to jump in now, remember EA early access lets you play FC 25 immediately. However, if you'd prefer to wait for its main launch and just want to find out the ratings ahead of time, we've got all the details you need to know below.
