Our recommendations

• Mohamed Salah
• Gareth Bale
• George Best

Mohammed Salah possesses every quality you want in a dangerous winger. His High Agility, Balance, Pace, and Finishing attributes mean the Liverpool attacker can either create or set up his own scoring chances. Also, his shots come off cleaner than most thanks to Finesse Shot+, which is one of the most powerful PlayStyles in EA FC 25.

New to this year’s game, Gareth Bale is the latest player to receive an Icon card. He might have low balance and a 3* Weak Foot, but that doesn’t matter when he has 95 Pace as well as 89 Dribbling and Shooting. This legend of the game is a lethal threat on both sides of the pitch and can even play striker for those wanting to catch opponents off guard.

Sticking with Icons, you will have a hard time finding a better winger than George Best. It may cost well over one million coins to acquire the Manchester United legend, but he truly has it all. With 91 Pace, 89 Shooting, and 89 Dribbling, there’s not much Northern Ireland’s greatest ever player can’t do on attack. Even better, he has Technical+, which allows him to weave in and out of defenses with ease.

Our recommendations

• Caroline Graham Hansen
• Kadidatou Diani
• Lauren James

Caroline Graham Hansen is one the few players in EA FC 25 to have both 5* Skills and Weak Foot. This combination makes her one of the best attackers in Ultimate Team, and the FC Barcelona star also possesses remarkable Pace, Shooting, and Dribbling attributes. She was incredible in last year’s game, and remains equally impressive this time around.

Olympique Lyonnais Feminin dominates women’s football every season and reached the Champions League final last year. If the French superteam performs well again in the competition this season, which they will, Kadidatou Diani‘s RTTK cardwill get multiple upgrades, transforming her into one of Ultimate Team’s best cards. Be sure to buy her before she skyrockets in both ability and price.

Both of the previous cards we mentioned are very expensive. If you are operating on more of a budget, Lauren James costs a fraction of the price, yet still offers everything you would want from an attacking wide player. She’s quick, has great dribbling, and is capable of some silky moves thanks to her 5* Skills. With Inside Forward++ and several meta PlayStyles, she’s one of the best bargain buys in FUT this year.

Our recommendations

• Ronaldinho
• Vini Jr.
• Heung Min Son

At launch, Ronaldinho is one of the most expensive players in Ultimate Team, with a price tag of over 5 million coins. If you are lucky enough to pack this card, you’ll have one of the best attackers in the game. The Brazilian legend has 91 Pace, 89 Shooting, 90 Passing, 95 Dribbling, and 5* Skills, making him an unbelievably complete talent that can do just about anything with the ball.

Ronaldinho isn’t the only Brazilian who does it all, as you can also exploit the wings with Vini Jr. The Real Madrid left winger has 95 Pace and Quick Step+, which makes him one of the fastest players in the game. Given how important pace is, his alone is good enough reason to justify his price. Add his 91 Dribbling, 5* Skills, and great chemistry links to that and he is clearly a top-tier option.

Some players might prefer Heung Min Son as a striker, but his gold and TOTW cards are just as lethal out wide, where you can cut in to shoot on his strong foot using Finesse Shot+. That’s not a bad idea either, considering the Korean international has 89 Shooting and 5* Weak Foot, allowing him to score from anywhere.

Our recommendations

• Neymar Jr
• Claudia Pina
• Paulo Futre

Despite missing all of last season, EA still gave Neymar Jr an incredible card in Ultimate Team, and it’s much cheaper than the amount you would usually have to pay for a player of his caliber. His move to the Saudi League isn’t great for building chemistry, but with 5* Skills, 5* Weak Foot, 92 Dribbling, and Trickster+, this guy still has plenty to offer on the pitch.

Barcelona is the best team in women’s football and rarely ever loses matches, meaning Claudia Pina’s Road to the Knockout promo card is going to get upgrades. It’s already a phenomenal card, so it’s going to become one of the best in the game, and you’ll want to buy it before then, as after the upgrades it will cost an absolute fortune.

Speaking of expensive players, Paulo Futre is one of the game’s best Heroes, with his 93 Pace and Dribbling making him a nightmare for defenders to go up against. If that’s not enough, he also has Technical+ and Quick Step, letting him burst into space in a way very few players can. If you are looking for an old-fashioned winger that can beat any fullback one on one, this is the guy you want.

Our recommendations

• Adama Traore
• Ludovic Giuly
• Leroy Sane

Right midfield is relatively weak compared to the other wide positions, but there are still a few great options to keep an eye on. One of which is Adama Traore, or more specifically, his Storyline card, which can be unlocked by reaching Level 38 in the Season 1 track. Once unlocked, Traore is a rapid winger who is hard to take off the ball and can be extremely dangerous in wide positions.

Another good option is Ludovic Giuly, who is a Hero card that isn’t too expensive. He has well-balanced stats across the board, 4* Weak Foot and Skill Moves, and a range of meta PlayStyles, including Finesse Shot, Technical, and Quick Step.

Meanwhile, Leroy Sane is a good choice for Bundesliga teams, with his 90 Pace and 86 Dribbling being fairly impressive. He may not be at the same level as some Icons and Heroes, but Sane’s speed and fast dribbling mean he is still a very good player. However, his 2* Weak Foot can be troublesome and makes it difficult to use him in certain situations.

Our recommendations

• Moussa Diaby
• Donyell Malen
• Inaki Williams

Regardless of budget, anyone can add these budget wingers to their Ultimate Team squad. Moussa Diaby can blow by any defender with 95 Pace and 86 Dribbling, making him a good fit for any team. He also has both Quick Step+ and Rapid, letting him leave defenders behind and run past just about anyone.

Alternatively, Donyell Malen is another compelling option that has 4* Skills and Weak Foot, as well as balanced stats across the board. The highlight of these is 89 Pace, which is enough to get the job done, especially since he has Quick Step. Malen can even be deployed as a striker if need be, making me more versatile than most other players on this list.

Inaki Williams is consistently one of the best starter cards in EA Sports FC, and that’s the same for this year’s title. Williams is rapid, strong, and can finish when needed, effectively serving as LaLiga’s equivalent to Adama Traore. He’s not the best on the ball though, so you’ll want to stay wide and challenge fullbacks to one-on-one races that they’ll struggle to win against this card.

Our recommendations

• David Ginola
• Eden Hazard
• Franck Ribery

David Ginola has 5* Skill Moves and Weak Foot, a combination that is sure to make a player worth using. Even better, he has 90 Pace, 88 Shooting, 87 Passing, and 91 Dribbling, giving him the ability to do just about everything on the attacking end of the pitch. He even has 84 Physicality and is 6’1″, so it’s not like he’s going to get bullied by defenders either.

New to EA FC 25, Eden Hazard is a Hero card and will be a great winger for any team. The Chelsea legend has a unique body type, making him shifty and hard to dispossess. That becomes even more true when you consider he has 91 Dribbling and Technical+. This man is nightmare fuel for defenders and can keep even the best fullbacks awake at night.

If you want to use an Icon instead, Franck Ribery also has 5* Skills and Weak Foot and can single-handedly carve up defenses when needed. Much like Hazard, he also has Technical+ and high Dribbling, but gains an edge due to his ability to link in other meta French players to your team more easily. Once you have enough coins, we highly recommend buying this card.

Our recommendations

• Jeremy Doku
• Alejandro Garnacho
• Luis Diaz

Jeremy Doku is a good option due to how likely he is to get upgraded. The Belgian winger has end-game-quality pace and dribbling and Man City are one of the favorites to top the UCL table. If they do this, he will get three upgrades and become an 89 Overall with two PlayStyle+. At that point, there’s no doubt he will be one of the best players in the game.

Similarly, Alejandro Garnacho has a UEL RTTK card that could jump to a 90. Manchester United aren’t looking great right now, but given the Europa League’s weaker teams, it still seems likely this card will be upgraded. It’s a gamble, but one that could pay off big time if United manage to secure a few wins in Europe.

With all of these being expensive options, you might not have the coins to even consider them. In that case, Luis Diaz is a far cheaper alternative that offers similar performance on the pitch. Ideally, you’ll want to buy his TOTW, but Diaz’s regular Gold card is great too, with both being fast and excellent on the ball.
