Kylian Mbappe, Rodri and Haaland are the highest-rated players in EA Sports FC 25, plus Bellingham gets a major upgrade

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

New cover stars Jude Bellingham, Vini Jr and Sophia Smith also saw big jumps in the rankings.

Many of these players have been at the top of their game, but there have been some tweaks and surprises. We now have four joint-top goalkeepers, with Thibaut Courtois’ drop in the rankings putting him in the same league as Alisson, Marc-Andre ter Stegen and Donnarumma.

Since they don’t appear in the list below, we can also infer that some big-name players have been demoted – many of whom play in the Saudi Professional League – such as Karim Benzema, Neymar, Robert Lewandowski and Casemiro (EA must be watching Liverpool’s games).

On the women’s side, Kadidiatou Diani’s FC 24 rating appears to have dropped, while the recently retired Alex Morgan is not on the roster.
