Although the official ratings for EA FC 25 players have not been announced yet, several high-profile cards have been leaked, revealing significant upgrades and downgrades.
The Ultimate Team card of each player is refreshed by the devs every year to accurately depict their performances from the previous season. This is a highly anticipated event leading up to the next game, as the players’ stats will determine their strength in the meta and potential for receiving promotional cards.
Therefore, these are a few of the most significant changes in rating for FC 25 that have been revealed thus far.
Biggest Rating Upgrades in FC 25
Top Scorer of the Year: Cole Palmer (+19)
Despite being considered a promising talent in the Premier League for several years, Cole Palmer truly proved his worth in the 2023/24 season. Following his transfer from Manchester City to Chelsea, the English player scored an impressive 22 goals, leading to him being named the Young Player of the Year and securing a place in the Team of the Season.
According to insider ‘Donk Trading’, his exceptional displays will result in a staggering +19 upgrade in EA FC 25 – one of the largest upgrades we’ve witnessed in Ultimate Team. Beginning in FC 24 with a 66-rated silver card, Palmer is poised to become one of the premier midfielders in the upcoming game.

Kobbie Mainoo (+15)
Kobbie Mainoo, a 19-year-old rising star from England, has been rewarded with a significant upgrade. He had a standout season, solidifying his position as a key player for Manchester United and earning a spot in the Euro 2024 squad.
Despite still having room for improvement in order to match the skills of the world’s top midfielders, his rating has increased from 62 to 77, making him a more prominent player in Ultimate Team this season. Additionally, being under 20 years old, he is likely to be a highly sought-after addition on Career Mode due to his impressive potential.

Viktor Gyokeres (+9)
Despite most major improvements being concentrated in Europe’s top five leagues, Sporting Lisbon’s Viktor Gyokeres has stood out with his impressive performances. The Swedish striker has established himself as a highly sought-after player, having achieved the top goalscorer title in the Primera Liga last season with a total of 29 goals.
This significant improvement will be evident in his EA FC 25 player rating, which is expected to rise from a modest 75 to an impressive 84. This increase will be accompanied by boosts of +11, +6, and +9 to his Shooting, Physical, and Pace respectively. With these enhanced stats, Gyokeres is an ideal choice for a starting striker in your Ultimate Team, if you are able to include him.

Nico Williams (+6)
After winning the Euros with Spain, Nico Williams is set to receive a significant rating increase in EA FC 25. The young winger, highly sought after by top clubs such as Barcelona and Arsenal, is widely considered one of the most thrilling players in Europe while playing for Athletic Bilbao.
According to a leak from ‘Fut Scoreboard,’ he will receive a +6 upgrade, boosting his overall rating from 79 to 85. This will result in significant improvements to his Dribbling, Pace, and Passing, solidifying his position as one of the top wide players available in the early stages of the game.

Biggest Downgrades in EA FC 25
Casemiro’s Performance Score (-5)
Despite being recognized as one of the best holding players in the world, Manchester United midfielder Casemiro reportedly suffered a significant blow last year due to the heavy criticism he received. His string of rough performances was perceived to have had a detrimental impact on his team in crucial games.
The outcome is a significant decrease of (-5) that results in him falling completely out of the top 100 rankings. Although this alone may not be devastating, the reduction of 25 Pace will greatly diminish his effectiveness when facing teams with fast midfielders crowding the center of the field.

Marcus Rashford
Despite remaining in Manchester, Marcus Rashford is facing a significant decrease in his rating in FC 25. According to a leaked card from ‘Donk Trading,’ the striker for United has dropped by 4 points due to a lackluster season where he only scored seven goals in the Premier League.
Despite maintaining his 89 Pace, the considerable decreases of -3 and -10 in his Shooting and Physical attributes will prevent him from being a potential meta winger. He will now have to settle for being a speedy starter option, with the possibility of upgrading in the future.

Neymar Jr.
According to ‘Donk Trading’, despite a slight downgrade of -2, Neymar Jr. is still expected to be one of the top players in EA FC 25 with an impressive 87 rating. However, due to a -4 decrease in his Shooting attribute, it is likely that the Brazilian icon will drop in the rankings after experiencing an injury-ridden first season in Saudi Arabia.
Despite everything mentioned, his Pace and Dribbling remain strong and make him a viable option in the appropriate formation. Additionally, with the addition of some in-forms or promotional cards, he has the potential to become one of the most lethal players in Ultimate Team.
