EA FC 25 Grassroot Greats: What Can We Know About The Leaks?
As EA Sports FC 25 Season 5 progresses, the long-awaited new promotion Grassroot Greats is about to debut. This event was previously confirmed by FUT 25, and it will meet players this week.
This event is centered on nostalgia and classics, aiming to bring back legendary players in Ultimate Team history who have conquered players with high cost-effectiveness or super powerful strength. Many players are concerned about which players will be selected for this event, and various leaks are emerging as the event is approaching. So are there any players you like among these leaked players?
Date
Grassroot Greats event is expected to be officially launched on February 14, 2025, replacing Future Stars promotion that ended at the same time. Grassroot Greats event will last for a week. After this event, it may be Road to the Final, taking over the second half of Season 5 of FIFA 25.
In addition, Future Stars is being held. The players in this event also have very good data. They can definitely become one of the core players in your team. When Grassroot Greats event starts, the players in Future Stars will be removed from the shelves. Players who want to get Future Stars should quickly use your FC 25 Coins to unlock your favorite players!
The theme of Grassroot Greats event is to pay tribute to the classics, focusing on those players who have left a deep mark in the history of Ultimate Team. These players may not be top stars in reality, but because of their super attributes in the game, such as Race, shooting or physical advantages, they have become the king of cost-effectiveness or even the most popular players in the player’s lineup. For example, Gervinho, Doumbia, Ibarbo of Roma trio in FIFA 15 or Alexander Esswein in FIFA 13 have become players’ nightmares with their low prices and amazing performance.
Leaked Players
Although EA has not yet officially announced the complete list, multiple leaks have revealed some core players and card design directions. Even when the official promotional video for Grassroot Greats was released in January, a leaked list was leaked:
- Doumbia
- Gervinho
- Ibarbo
- Franz Beckenbauer
- Diego Maradona
- Alexis Mac Allister
- Juninho
- Ian Wright
- Roberto Baggio
- Foudy
- Didier Drogba
- Jaap Stam
- Bruno Fernandes
This list was leaked too early and may be different from the real list. But Diego Maradona is definitely on the list for this event. Because he is the cover character this time.
As early as 2022, EA had to remove Diego Maradona from FIFA 22 due to some legal issues. His 91, 95 and 97 cards were all removed from Ultimate Team.
Diego Maradona’s return is undoubtedly one of the biggest highlights of this event. His card may be 96 OVR Icon. What’s even more surprising to players is that EA FC 25 leaker Fut Sheriff revealed that the free Maradona Evolution is likely to appear in the game. Players only need to log in on a specific date to get it.
In addition to Diego Maradona, the following players have a high probability of appearing in Grassroot Greats:
- Seydou Doumbia (94 OVR): A representative of the speed striker in FIFA 15 era.
- Gervinho (93 OVR): A winger with strong breakthrough ability.
- Victor Ibarbo (92 OVR): A stadium warrior known for his physical confrontation and running.
- Franck Ribéry (96 OVR): Icon card, strengthens dribbling and passing attributes.
- Didier Drogba (96 OVR): Has a powerful header like a beast.
- Roberto Baggio (96 OVR): Outstanding set-piece and ball control ability.
- Bruno Fernandes (92 OVR): Enhanced shooting and Skill moves.
- Alexis Mac Allister (92 OVR): A midfielder with both offensive and defensive capabilities.
Grassroot Greats players are all very powerful this time, covering almost every position on the pitch. If you can get one of them, your team’s strength will usher in a qualitative leap. If you have a lot of FIFA 25 coins, then this event is the best time to use them.
In addition, the card design this time will be integrated with a retro style. Some players adopt the classic style of their peak season, such as Maradona’s 1986 World Cup image. And all cards are equipped with exclusive PlayStyles+ enhanced skills, such as Maradona’s Trickster+ or Drogba’s Aerial+.
How To Get Grassroot Greats Players?
High-rated Icon cards are expected to require many coins or FIFA 25 Points. Players are advised to accumulate reward packs through Squad Battles or Champions mode.
Common cards of historical classic players may be popular in the transfer market. Players who don’t need these cards can exchange them to accumulate some FUT coins. In addition, if active players are not included in the event, the coins you need to exchange them in the transfer market may be reduced. You can exchange some of these players to prepare for the next event.
Grassroot Greats is not only a nostalgic feast for EA FC 25 but also a response to the needs of Ultimate Team community players. The emotional needs of old players are met, and it also provides new players with the opportunity to experience previous versions. In addition, the return of Maradona marks the reconciliation between the developer and the football player’s copyright holder, and more legendary stars may be introduced in the future.

EA FC 25: How To Pick A Ful ...
Fullbacks were considered as undesirable in the long history of football, although this stereotype has since been weakened by the Brazilian’s brilliant performance. However, fullbacks have demonstrated to be an increasingly important in the modern football game, who are expected to strike a fabulous balance between attack as well as defend. It is obvious that both left backs and right backs are given more complex tasks and important roles in modern football. Although EA Sports FC 25 has overwhelmed with talented young left backs for Career Mode managers to select from, it is also a thorny thing to find a satisfied left backs for their team. Pace and power can often determine the direction of a game. Left backs are typically designed to shun those tricky speed demons. Players may not care about the troubles encountered in the middle, but an overwhelming a left back is often in their desperate need. This article is mainly about 10 highest-rated left-backs in FC 25 for your reference. 10. David Alaba - 85 OVR It is unassailable that David Alaba is on this list. This Austria international has basically operated centrally after transferring to Real Madrid. The overall 85 serves as the excellent performance of him, although there is still some room for improvement before reaching his peak level. Unfortunately, Alaba has absent from the second half of the 2023/24 season after tearing his anterior cruciate and losing his advantage of speed, so he can not be counted as a top left-back option in FIFA 25. 9. Ona Batlle - 85 OVR After embracing a satisfying achievement in WSL with Manchester United, Ona Batlle was determined to come back to all-conquering Barcelona Feminino. Later, she was well nurtured and trained at the club. While Spaniard may be weak in speed and size when comparing to other male left backs, the merits of versatility, technique and intelligence will mix her physical defaults. 8. Katie McCabe - 85 OVR This enthusiastic Irishwoman has been worked for Arsenal Women since 2015, basically claiming all victories on the domestic front in north London. Excellent performance, along with attractive personality, has consisted of the fact that Katie McCabe was deeply loved by football fans and claimed the title of Arsenal Women Player of the Year. Katie McCabe is well-rounded in all aspects. She can do it all. 7. Andy Robertson - 85 OVR From FIFAs ratings in the past few years, it can be seen that Andy Robertson’s potential is gradually declining. He had 87-rated in the last two FIFAs, an 86 overall last year, but now the rate has decreased to an 85. This Scotsman was once the most representative left-back of Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool at their culmination. But there was a time when the entire team could not even function properly because of his absence, so the team later reduced the influence of the left-back. But there is no doubt that Robertson is still a fabulous fullback, but not qualified to serve as dominant force for some physical reason. 6. Alejandro Grimaldo - 86 OVR Alejandro Grimaldo can not be concluded as a traditional fullback. Although short in stature, Alejandro Grimaldo is full of energy and strength. This Spanish international is pretty googly at playing free-kick, too. And his progress is obvious, and he can surprise the audience every game. 5. Joao Cancelo - 86 OVR Joao Cancelo’s overall rating has not changed compared to last season, and this Portugal international works for Al Hilal in Saudi Pro League at the moment. Joao Cancelo often makes defensive mistakes, but it is undeniable that his ball machine is very good, which can be concluded through his performance in loan spell at Barcelona. 4. Fridolina Rolfo - 86 OVR The experienced Sweden international mainly plays in Barcelona Feminino’s frontline, and the position of left back serves as her second choice, but her statistics are enough to prove her ability on the pitch. 3. Selma Bacha - 86 OVR There is hardly anyone who has achieved more in women’s football than Selma Bacha. She first came to prominence at the age of 16 with Lyon Feminin. Bacha has worked for her club since, achieving the first place of five league titles and four Champions League at the age of 22. This young left back will undoubtedly achieve more in the future. It is recommended to include this female general in your team, even if she will cost you much more FC 25 Coins. 2. Theo Hernandez - 87 OVR Theo Hernandez is one of the two highest-rated left backs in EA FC 25. With his previous excellent performance in Euro 2024 campaign, the overall rating has been increased by 2 points. Based on the stats of his card, we can see that his physical fitness is very good. Since joining Milan, he has been unstoppable, especially in one-on-one defense, and has made amazing progress. 1. Sakina Karchaoui - 87 OVR Sakina Karchaoui has worked for three of Premiere Ligue’s biggest clubs, breaking out at Montpellier and going through an eight-year career there. As an excellent ball handler, she is of great agility and energy, often able to get key points and reverse the results of the game. She is an excellent left back. Sakina Karchaoui also played 79 times for French national team and is the pride of the entire team. The above are the 10 most recommended left backs in FIFA 25.

EA FC 25: Career Mode Will ...
Are EA players waiting for the official release of FC 25? Some time ago, EA officially announced that FC 25 is scheduled to be officially released on September 27, 2024. So far, a lot of information about many games has been announced, but the most concerned by players is Career Mode. And Career Mode in this new game has added many new features, including scouts, tactical settings, customization, and more in the game. EA has publicly stated that most of these changes come from ideas in the player community. These changes will expand this Career Mode for mid-level managers and players in the game. This guide will introduce you to some of the new features in FC 25 Career Mode so you can prepare! Women’s Career Mode With the addition of women players in FC 24 Ultimate Team, players have been looking forward to whether they will see the same in FC 25. Obviously, the answer is right. FC 25 gives you access to players and teams from the five most popular women’s football leagues on the field, which means you can use these “Field Roses” to enhance your Ultimate Team. The leagues currently announced for you to play in the game are Women’s Super League, NWSL, D1 Arkemma, Liga F and Frauen-Bundesliga. In addition, UWCL will also appear in Career Mode, so you can lead your team to European glory. FC IQ FC 25 has added some much-needed tactical changes - Player Roles and Team Tactics, so that you can use Work Rates and Player Instructions. These fall under the purview of FC IQ, but it’s important to note that although it will appear in all game modes, it is most suitable for Career Mode. With this new system, you can assign different roles to players and create custom tactical setups more effectively. For example, if you want to play a standard 4-3-3 formation, which requires your CDM to move into defense, you can assign your players to the center back position. Similarly, if you need to strengthen the midfield defense, you can also have your midfielders play higher up the pitch using the half-winger position like a senior number 8. However, it is important to note that the success of your players in these positions depends on their familiarity with the position. If they are not proficient enough, you can spend some FC 25 Coins to hire a coach who fits your team’s tactical vision to help them improve their attributes. Live Start Points The most interesting part of Career Mode is Live Start Points, which will start a new game based on your real-life season. These starting points will be updated once a week, and the main data will be taken from Premier League, LaLiga and Ligue 1. It will include league rankings, results, transfers, statistics, suspensions and other data. For example, the newly emerging Ipswich won the championship in GW4, so you will take over the team at their peak and try to lead them to glory again. However, if Everton is currently in a relegation crisis, you will also take over at this low point and find a way to get them out of the misery. Live Start Points will help you discover more of the most promising teams or players in the world of football, and the ending of each story is entirely up to you. Unfortunately, Live Start Points will not be enabled at the official launch, but will be added as a patch in the future. We can look forward to it together! Icons Cards In Player Career Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you were the icon in the football world? Don’t just dream, FC 25’s Player Career Mode will make this idea come true for you! You can play as your favorite idol in the game, and have all the statistics, game styles, and player positions of these idols. You can play as your favorite idol, choose a club you like, and finally create a history that is exclusive to you. This feeling is simply great! As of now, Andrea Pirlo, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Kelly Smith, and Thierry Henry will appear in the normal Career Mode. David Beckham, Zinedine Zidane, and Ronaldo will appear in Ultimate Edition. Youth Academy Revamp There were a lot of issues with Youth system in FC 24, but this will no longer be the case in FC 25. You can send your scouts to 160 countries to search for outstanding young players in various countries. In addition to this new feature, you can also ask scouts to look for up to four positions and three focus positions. This will greatly reduce FC 25 Coins you spend on scouting, while still finding some excellent players for you. As for young players, you can now directly participate in their development instead of just renting them out for a season as before. This is done through the new Rush Mode integrated into manager and player careers. You can also hold a tournament every two months and let your young players play 5v5 games. This way you can very intuitively understand their current overall rating and subsequent maximum potential rating to decide whether to invest a lot of money in their development in the future. Player Origins As the name suggests, with the addition of Player Origins in the game, you can learn about the background stories of this player, which will shape the personality of this player and are closely related to his strengths or challenges. Player Origins includes Clean Slate, Great Expectations, Climb to the Top and Return to Glory sections. You can also create your own story by clicking on Custom Start option. You can freely choose the age, skill level and personality type of the players. This will help you more effectively control the development of a particular player. These are some of the new changes in FC 25 Career Mode. We look forward to seeing you on the field on September 27th! Have fun playing!Aug-14-2024
