Best strikers to buy in EA FC 25 Ultimate Team

If you’re looking to be competitive in EA FC 25 modes like Division Rivals and FUT Champs, you’ll need one of the best strikers in your team to get you the goals.

Once you’ve got your custom tactics and Player Roles in order, all that’s left to do is fill your Ultimate Team with the best players. While defenders and midfielders are crucial, if you haven’t got anyone up front to put the ball in the net, you’ll be quickly punished by the opposition.

With this in mind, here are the best strikers in EA FC 25 Ultimate Team, from the highest-rated to the meta picks.

Our recommendations

• Kylian Mbappe
• Heung Min Son
• Erling Haaland

If you want to add one of EA FC 25’s highest-rated strikers to your team, then Kylian Mbappe should be the goal. The Real Madrid star is arguably the best player in the entire game, thanks to his ridiculous Pace and Shooting stats.

Manchester City’s Erling Haaland is also one of the best options if you want a bit more physicality in your frontline. While he’s no slouch when it comes to sprinting, the Norwegian is at his best when shoving defenders out of the way and attacking balls into the box.

Although Heung-Min Son is slightly lower-rated than the other strikers we’ve picked out, he’s still a must-have in Premier League teams. Not only does he have enough Shooting stats to rival anyone in his position, but he also has five-star weak foot and can play all across the attacking line.

Our recommendations

• Ewa Pajor
• Saeed Al Owairan
• Lois Openda

Just because a player has a high rating doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll be useable in Ultimate Team. While the likes of Karry Kane and Alexandra Popp are great for SBCs, their in-game stats don’t translate as well to the fast-paced action of EA FC 25.

While there are obvious meta picks like the Brazilain Ronaldo and Ferenc Puskas, there are also low-rated cards that outshine the game’s biggest names. One of these is Ewa Pajor, whose 88 Pace and Shooting make her one of the strongest all-round strikers for under 50k.

There’s also Lois Openda, who has emerged as a popular pick in many squads already. He’s lightning-fast and easy to fit into hybrid teams thanks to his Belgian nationality, so be sure to add him to your starter squad.

Last up is the Hero Saeed Al Owairan, who comes out of packs as a winger but can also play through the middle. His 94 Pace makes him perfect for players who like to spam through balls, 86 Dribbling lets him create more chances for himself by weaving through defenders.

Just 82 Shooting might be offputting to some managers, but if boosted with a Deadeye Chemistry Style there’s very little he can’t do.

While these are meta strikers in EA FC 25 at launch, things are likely to shift as more Ultimate Team promos and updates are rolled out. We’ll be sure to keep this page updated, but in the meantime, take a look at the best PlayStyles to look out for.
