After years of two players dominating the EA FC (formerly FIFA) ratings, it's refreshing to see some variety at the top of the tree.

Of course, we refer to Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, who have now been overthrown by their younger competitors in the rankings. They're still hanging around in EA FC 25, but they're no longer centre of attention.

But who are the players that have usurped the serial Ballon d'Or winners? Here are the 50 highest-rated players in this year's game.


50. Theo Hernandez

If it's someone devilishly fast you want at left-back, look no further than Milan's Theo Hernandez. The France international won't lose too many battles out wide in EA FC 25 thanks largely to his 89 physical rating, but he can also deliver going forward with 76 shooting.

Serie A star Paulo Dybala is a threat in four areas of EA FC 25. It's his 89 dribbling that stands out, but 80 pace, 85 shooting and 84 passing make the Argentinian a wonderful option at CAM.
