Significant Upgrades in EA FC 25’s Top 50

Jude Bellingham [86 to 90]

The +4 rating increase for Jude Bellingham, from 86 to 90 overall, positions him among the elite in the world of football. This upgrade is well-deserved as the English midfielder had an impressive first season with Real Madrid, scoring 19 goals and providing six assists.

Phil Foden [85 to 88]

Another player making waves is Phil Foden, who had a breakout season last year. He garnered the Premier League Player of the Year award, contributing to Manchester City’s fourth consecutive title with 27 goal contributions. A +3 rating boost was justified, and he arguably deserves an even higher rating than 88 overall.

Antonio Rüdiger [85 to 88]

Lastly, Antonio Rüdiger’s surprising +3 upgrade is thoroughly deserved. Instead of slowing down at 31 years old, the German center-back excelled in Europe last year, consistently shutting down top offenses for Real Madrid.

Notable Downgrades Explained

Lionel Messi [90 to 88]

Lionel Messi’s downgrade of two ratings makes sense, given his age and injury issues in 2023. Nonetheless, he guided Argentina to a Copa America title and has been performing excellent in the MLS, netting 12 goals and recording nine assists in just 12 games for Inter Miami.

Casemiro [89 to 84]

The Manchester United star, Casemiro, experienced a substantial -5 downgrade after an underwhelming season, marking his lowest rating since FIFA 17. Additionally, his stats suffered, with a notable 25-point drop in his pace.

Karim Benzema [90 to 86]

The legendary French player, Benzema, transitioned to the Saudi Pro League with Al-Ittihad Club, yet did not stand out, tallying just nine goals throughout the season, justifying this downgrade.

Stay tuned for the full player rating database once EA makes it available, including the best player ratings for every position. Remember that these ratings can fluctuate during the season based on players’ performances.
