50 best players in EA FC 25’s ratings, from Mbappe to Messi
EA SportsEA has yet to reveal a complete database of EA FC 25 ratings, but the top 50 players circulated online early.
Before jumping into EA FC 25 Ultimate Team, kick-off matches, or Career Mode for the first time, it’s essential to know the best players. Based on their performances last season, EA gave players downgrades or upgrades.
For example, rising Real Madrid superstar Jude Bellingham went from an 86 to a 90 overall after scoring 19 goals and adding six assists during his first season in Spain. Meanwhile, Lionel Messi still might be one of the best players in the world, but age and injuries contributed to a downgrade.
Let’s jump right into the other rating changes made.

EA FC 25 ratings upgrades
Jude Bellingham’s +4 rating increase from 86 to 90 overall elevates him into the rarified air among the best players in the world. It’s hard to argue against that decision, as the English midfielder had a fantastic first season with Real Madrid, registering 19 goals and six assists.
Fellow Englishman Phil Foden also had a breakout season last year. Foden won Premier League Player of the Year after helping lead Manchester City to a fourth straight title with 27 goal contributions. He deserved a +3 rating increase, but he should be above an 88 overall player.
Last up, Antonio Rudiger surprisingly got a +3 upgrade, but it’s more than warranted. Instead of slowing down at 31 years old, the German center-back dominated Europe last year, shutting down some of the best offenses in the world regularly for Real Madrid.
EA FC 25 ratings downgrades
Lionel Messi getting two ratings knocked off makes sense, given his age and injury problems in 2023. However, Messi helped lead Argentina to a Copa America title and has been outstanding in the MLS. Additionally, the legend has 12 goals and nine assists in just 12 games for Inter Miami this season.
Robert Lewandowski was hit with a -2, dropping to 88, while Kevin De Bruyne also dropped -1. Cristiano Ronaldo has also fallen to 86, according to early leaks.
Once EA releases the entire database, stay tuned for the best player rating lists for every position. It’s also important to note that these ratings are subject to change during the season based on player performances.
