Mbappe, Rodri and Haaland are the highest rated players in EA Sports FC 25, as well as a large boost for Bellingham

Kylian Mbappe, Rodri, Erling Haaland and Aitana Bonmati shared the prestigious title of the highest rated players in EA Sports FC 25.

There are also large changes for novel cover star Jude Bellingham, as well as Vini Jr. and Sophia Smith.

Many of these players have been at the top for some time, but there have been a few changes and surprises. We now have a four-way tie for the world’s best goalkeeper, with Thibaut Courtois’ demotion taking him level with Alisson, ter Stegen and Donnarumma.

Since they are not on the list below, we can also conclude that there were several high-profile players who were demoted – many of whom play in the Saudi Pro League – such as Karim Benzema, Neymar, Robert Lewandowski and Casemiro (EA must have watched the Liverpool game at the time).

On the women’s side, it looks like Kadidiatou Diani has been demoted from her lofty FC 24 ranking, while the recently retired Alex Morgan also fails to make the list.

The full list of the top 25 players in EA Sports FC 25 is as follows:
