The latest leaks for FC 25 show the 50 best cards in Ultimate Team. However, for some players, one might question how they even arrive at their rating, as their supposed stats don’t reflect it.
As is customary before EA FC, many experts speculate about the best cards. Over the past week, speculations about the new ratings have surfaced periodically.
On Sunday, August 25th, several insiders shared new information about the 50 best players in FC 25:
What kind of leaks are these? The leaks shared by well-known leakers such as futsheriff or DonkTrading on X reveal the so-called Top 50 in FC 25. This consists of the 50 gold cards with the best ratings in Ultimate Team.
Leaks show 5 ratings that don’t make sense
The rating essentially reflects the strength of the player in their position. For cards to achieve a high rating, they need, depending on their position, certain values in a high range:
- Defenders need good values in DEF (Defense)
- Midfielders
- defensive: good values in DEF, PHY (Physical) and PAS (Pass)
- offensive: good values in DRI (Dribbling), PAS and SCH (Shot)
- Forwards
- Wingers: high values in TEM (Speed), DRI, PAS, SCH
- Strikers: high values in SCH, DRI
Why do some ratings not make sense? Sometimes players receive ratings that their stats do not warrant because not a single value meets the overall rating of the card.
We will show you 5 such examples based on the leaks for FC 25.
We would like to point out again that the players mentioned below are leaks and not official confirmations. What values the cards will actually have in the game remains open.
Rodri (91) – Manchester City
The card of midfield dynamo Rodri supposedly rises to one of the 4 best cards in FC 25 according to leaks. The Spaniard’s values, except for his speed, look very good.
However, there seems to be no value that justifies the 91 rating. His highest stat in the leaked card is at 87 for his DEF value. That would still leave him 4 points shy of the 91.
Martínez (89) – Inter Milan
The captain of Inter also makes a solid leap to a 89 in FC 25. Although his predicted stats look very good, they do not justify a 89.
According to leaks, his highest value is at 88 for his SCH value. A relatively small gap to his rating compared to Rodri, yet like the Spaniard, his stats fall short of his overall rating.
Rüdiger (88) – Real Madrid
With Antonio Rüdiger, a German national player also appears on our list. While the center-back has certainly earned his upgrade to an 88, his stats do not yet reflect that.
With 86 points each, his highest values for DEF and PHY would be two points under his new rating.
Katoto (88) – Paris Saint-Germain
The forward retains her 88 rating from FC 24. That is enough for a place among the top 50.
Looking at the supposed stats of Katoto, it becomes apparent that she also does not have any value of at least 88. Her predicted SCH value of 87 would, like Martínez from Inter, be just below her rating.
Guijarro (88) – FC Barcelona
The defensive midfielder will once again be a popular card for starter teams at the beginning of FC 25, as she has many values in the good and very good range.
However, an 88 rating is also not apparent for the Spaniard. According to the leak, her highest value is her DRI value, which is at 87 and just below her overall rating.
The fact that ratings and stats do not always match would, by the way, not be a new discrepancy in FC 25. In the past, there have been cards with high ratings that could not boast any high value. How exactly EA determines the ratings remains a mystery. Everything we know about the new FC 25 can be found here on MeinMMO: EA FC 25: All information on release, price, leagues, and innovations
