EA Sports FC 25 is out in just a few weeks! EA has officially revealed the top 25 men’s gold cards in Ultimate Team so you can start planning your squads for when the game launches on September 27 and there are some pretty big omissions.
This year’s ratings have some serious shocks including the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar who aren’t even in the top 25 list.

EA FC 25’s top 25 players
One of the most exciting times in any football game’s release schedule is the unveiling of the best players for that particular year. In the past, fans would flock to social media to debate Messi vs Ronaldo and argue over who deserved the higher rating.
This year, four players share the top spot with a 91 rating and I think it’s fair to say that you could argue the case for each one to be the highest-rated player in EA FC 25.
While stats are still under wraps, here’s the full list of the top 25 rated players in Ultimate Team in EA FC 25:

Who are EA Sports FC 25’s top rated men’s gold players in Ultimate Team?
Special cards like Eden Hazard, the brand new Hero added to this year’s game, or El Phenomenon, Ronaldo, one of the best Icons you can pack, don’t count in the ranking above.
That’s because Icons and Hero player cards are separate from regular rares and there’s no fun in comparing the ratings of retired players to their active counterparts. However, if you’d like to see the 13 new Heroes added to Ultimate Team, check out our full list.
Where’s Cristiano Ronaldo?
You may have noticed one megastar isn’t in the top 25. Cristiano Ronaldo, the world’s most famous footballer, is no longer one of the best players in FIFA. In fact, his move to Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia drastically impacted his rating in EA FC 24 and the trend continues in this year’s game.
As an 86-rated gold men’s card, Cristiano sits in the top 100 bracket but isn’t quite good enough to make the top 25. That said, we haven’t seen his stats yet, but we could get a welcome surprise if he’s got good PlayStyles to earn a spot in your starting 11.
When can we play EA FC 25?
EA FC 25 launches on September 27 on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Opt for the Ultimate Edition to gain access on September 20.
FourFourTwo will be going more in-depth with the additions to EA FC 25 in the lead-up to the game’s launch, so stay tuned for more FC 25 coverage this summer.
