Irene Paredes Team: FC Barcelona Femení Overall rating: 88 Irene Paredes is one of the best central defenders in women’s football. Although her height makes it difficult to defend set pieces, this has not affected her outstanding performance in club and international competitions.

Remember, the best defense is the key to winning the game. So, invest time and effort in building your Ultimate Team!

When playing FC 25, the choice you make on Players is crucial. Because this first determines the strength of your team and then determines the probability of your victory in the game. How to choose Players who are as strong or suitable for your team as possible? You can refer to and choose the specific Ratings of the Players in the game to ensure that your FC 25 Coins will not be wasted. Of course, the first thing you may do is to avoid Players with low Ratings. However, there are some Players whose overall Ratings are not low, but whose performance has been poor recently, resulting in a decrease in Rating in the game. So you need to be very careful when facing them. According to relevant data, Ratings of seven Players in EA FC 25 have been significantly reduced. This has to be a cause for concern, because some of them are even quite familiar to Players. Here are the seven Players whose Ratings were lowered in FC 25: 1. Casemiro Casemiro’s Rating dropped from 89 in EA FC 24 to 84 in EA FC 25. In fact, not only did his Rating drop, his data in FC 25 was also much worse than before, which was very unsatisfactory. His poor performance was mainly reflected in his Pace and Agility in the game. After a year of poor form in United, his Pace dropped by 25, and his Agility was also much worse than before, which was very criticized. In fact, Casemiro’s current Rating in FC 25 is 84. It is his lowest Rating since FIFA 17. To be honest, as a Player who had performed well before, this has to make people feel sorry for him. 2. Marcus Rashford Compared with Casemiro, the drop in Marcus Rashford’s Rating from 85 in EA FC 24 to 81 in EA FC 25 does not seem so cruel. Because as a winger, Marcus Rashford was out of form for most of the 2023-24 season. It makes people wonder whether he is focusing on his sports career. In FC 24, Rashford was the third-highest rated Player in United. But in FC 25, he just barely made it into the top 10. However, although Rashford’s Rating has dropped, he still has his own unique advantages. His Pace reached an astonishing 89 in FC 25, which can be said to be quite amazing. Therefore, this can also be used as an important reference for you to choose Players in FC 25. 3. Karim Benzema This French Player has a Rating of 90 in FC 24. However, since he joined Al-Ittihad last summer, he has not performed well. He also failed to perform well in the Saudi Pro League, as most people expected. In FC 25 his Rating dropped to 86. In the Last Season, he only scored nine League Goals. Moreover, based on his performance in the 2023-24 season, the Rating of 86 is not even low for him. 4. Borja Iglesias To be honest, it is not surprising that Iglesias’ Rating has dropped. In the 2023-24 season, he failed to score a Single Goal for the Club during the Loan Spell In Second Half of Last Season. Although Iglesias won some silverware at Bayer Leverkusen, it could not make up for his poor performance in the Second Half of Last Season. Therefore, his Rating dropped from 83 in FC 24 Rating to 78 in FC 25 Rating. 5. Aaron Ramsdale Since he spent the entire season at Bench, it is not so surprising that Ramsdale’s Rating dropped from 84 in FC 24 to 81 in FC 25. I hope he can find his form and regain his glory after joining Southampton. 6. Ciro Immobile In the last season, Italian Player Immobile failed to hit double figures in Serie A for the first time since the 2015–16 season. After playing for Lazio for ten years, he moved to Besiktas this summer to continue his sports career. Although his Rating dropped from 85 in FC 24 to 82 in FC 25, Immobile’s performance after joining Besiktas has not been disappointing. In his First Six Games with Turkey, he scored seven goals. 7. Antony When United spent a lot of money to sign Antony a few years ago, they probably didn’t expect that his Rating in EA FC 25 would drop from 81 in EA FC 24 to 77. The Brazilian Player only produced two goals in Premier League in Last Season, which can be said to be a very unsatisfactory performance. Therefore, it seems to be expected that his Rating has such a big drop. The performance of these seven Players is not good enough, so Rating of FC 25 is lowered. Although Rating is not the only reference factor when you choose Players, it has unique reference value after all and deserves your attention.

And here you can also get EA FC 25 related game resources through the giveaway channel to better continue to experience the game!

Every time EA Sports FC is released, there is always a lot of discussion about which player will top the ratings charts. As Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo’s careers come to an end, other outstanding players are beginning to emerge. The latest release of EA Sports FC 25 has revealed the top ten best male players in the game, and there are some unexpected faces among them. Read on to find out the top ten best male players in EA Sports FC 25 and avoid wasting FIFA 25 FUT Coins on your player selection. 10. Alisson Becker Rating: 89 Alisson Becker has been ranked among the world’s top goalkeepers since joining Reds. As the main goalkeeper for Brazil and Liverpool, he is regarded as the epitome of a modern goalkeeper with comprehensive skills and almost impeccable skills. In the 2023/24 season, Alisson has repeatedly turned the tide with his outstanding performance and resolved many crises for Liverpool. He is not only the team’s defensive anchor, but also one of the best goalkeepers in the league. 9. Gianluigi Donnarumma Rating: 89 Although Gianluigi Donnarumma’s performance in an important game was not satisfactory. But he still can improve himself and become one of the world’s top goalkeepers through hard work. With Mbappe’s departure, Donnarumma and his teammates will shoulder the responsibility of proving the team’s strength. They are eager to show that Paris Saint-Germain is still a force to be reckoned with and can challenge for the highest honors in club football. 8. Martin Odegaard Rating: 89 As the captain of Arsenal, Martin Odegaard is gradually becoming one of the top midfielders in Premier League. Whenever he has the ball, Odegaard always seizes the opportunity keenly, whether through precise passes or breaking through the defense, he can effectively drive the team forward. Odegaard’s rating is among the top in FC 25, proving that Odegaard is good enough, so Arsenal fans don’t need to look for outstanding players from other teams in Manager Mode. 7. Kevin De Bruyne Rating: 90 Kevin De Bruyne has been hailed as one of the best midfielders in the world in the past decade. De Bruyne is known for his superb passing and shooting skills, especially in the past few seasons. He has repeatedly scored goals from 30 yards away with his long-range shooting ability. Therefore, he deserves a high rating of 90 points. 6. Vinicius Jr Rating: 90 Vinicius Jr was not optimistic about Real Madrid at first, but now, Vinicius Jr has become one of the most stable players in Real Madrid, perfectly qualified for the left wing position. After Mbappe joined, it still firmly occupies its position. After several seasons of outstanding performance, Vinicius Jr has become one of the highest-rated players in EA Sports FC 25. 5. Harry Kane Rating: 90 Harry Kane has a new challenge after moving to Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich. Although Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen blocked their title bid, Harry Kane’s individual performance was still outstanding, setting many records and meeting the fans’ expectations of a top striker. He has scored more than 50 goals for the club, so it is no surprise that he has a high rating of 90 points. 4. Jude Bellingham Rating: 90 Jude Bellingham can even stand out in Real Madrid team with his outstanding strength. He has shown outstanding performance in any position. Whenever the team needs him to play, he always lives up to expectations. Jude Bellingham’s rating in FC 25 is as high as 90 points. 3. Erling Haaland Rating: 91 Erling Haaland has always been considered the best scorer in the world. Norwegian striker has been playing in a Premier League for three seasons now, leaving numerous defenders helpless with his performances. He has broken numerous records and looks set to continue doing so. Given his outstanding performances, Haaland’s 91 rating is undoubtedly well-deserved. 2. Rodri Rating: 91 Rodri has been key to Manchester City’s success as an all-around midfielder who can not only create chances, defend solidly, but also score goals. In FC 25, Rodri has a rating of 91 and he is expected to get higher, as long as Rodri and City continue to dominate the league and Champions League. 1. Kylian Mbappe Rating: 91 Mbappe has a rating of 91 in FC 25, making him the highest-rated male player in the game. Although he performed well in his last season with Paris Saint-Germain, Mbappe failed to lead the team to Champions League glory. Now, he will aim to help Real Madrid add another Champions League trophy to consolidate his status as one of the greatest players of all time. We have once again witnessed the update and changes of the game ratings. The performances of these top players have not only won the applause of fans in reality, but also received high praise in the virtual world. With their outstanding performance and outstanding abilities, they have become the top ten best male players in FC 25, showing their strength and value. In the future, we look forward to seeing the rise of more new stars and the continued glory of existing stars.
