Age and performance both contribute toplayer ratings in FC 25. While older players such as Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Neymar reach the end of their careers, it’s time to pass the torch to the next generation of superstars.
That’s reflected in this year’s crop of player ratings, as up-and-coming talent saw massive upgrades while older players had their stats decreased.
Biggest upgrades in EA FC 25
Cole Palmer got one of the most significant upgrades in FC history, jumping from a 66 to 85 overall. Palmer stole the show at Chelsea during his first season, scoring 22 goals and racking up 11 assists. A PFA Young Player of The Year award and memorable Euros run capped off an otherworldly season, making him one of the most exciting Premier League players at 22 years old.
Harry Kane led all strikers across every European league with 36 goals, but there were several other standout performers. Viktor Gyokeres found the back of the net 29 times for Sporting CP, while Artem Dovbyk scored 24 goals for Girona. Both players were rewarded with heft upgrades.
Leicester City iconJamie Vardyis widely regarded as one of the most consistent strikers in England, but at 37 years old, heis in the twilight of his career. That was shown last season in the Championship, as the striker only scored three goals in 37 matches.
With 18 trophies in total, including five Champions League and three La Liga titles, Casemiro is a serial winner and has shut down opposing offenses for years. But just like Vardy, the Brazilian workhorse has lost a step. And that’s especially the case forCasemiro, as EA knocked 25 points off his pace, making him one of the slowest players in FC history.
