Whether you have an allegiance to one of the top clubs, or you prefer dark horses like Athletic Bilbao or Atlético Madrid, the best players in LaLiga EA Sports are worth adding to your squad.
Picking the best player in the real competition would spark an endless debate, but the best La Liga star in EA FC 25 is unquestioned. While you might already know who to expect at the top of the list, some of the other best players in La Liga still offer immense quality that can reshape your ultimate team.
Skill Moves and Weak Foot ratings are subject to change as further upgrades are released.

Araujo has been a top candidate for your CB or RB positions since the release of FC 25, first with his Gold card and later with his Road To The Knockouts(RTTK)card, which offered a major increase to Araujo’s overall rating.
Araujo excels as CB, so don’t move him to RB unless you have no other options available.
His Block PlayStyle Plus gives Araujo an advantage in keeping attackers away from your box without even a sniff of goal. His Uruguayan links are sometimes annoying to work with, but playing for FC Barcelona remedies this, especially if you include any of his teammates in your starting 11.
Four Stars
Next up is Araujo’s defensive peer, Jules Koundé, who is one ofthe best defenders in EA FC 25.Kounde offers the perfect complement to Araujo, asthis French starprefers the RB position, where he shines thanks to his combination of offensive and defensive attributes.
Kounde’s Jockey PlayStyle Plus is perfectly suited to directing the attacking flow away from dangerous areas and into your teammates' hands, or even better – the sidelines. As with Araujo, play to Kounde’s strengths by starting him at RB and enjoy his impressive shutdown abilities.
Five Stars
Nico Williams is one of the best wide players in EA FC 25, offering world-class quality at both RM and LM, while also boasting multiple ways to add this player to your team without buying a card on the transfer market.
Williams' 88-rated RTTK card was available via a Squad Builder Challenge(SBC)in mid-October, but you could also use his Gold Card in a series of Flash Evos that were released during the Black Friday promo. While the paths to a top-tier Nico Williams card are currently limited,he should see further upgrades down the road.
It’s no surprise to see Jude Bellingham, asthis fantastic English midfieldercomes with an incredible amount of hype generated from his real-life performances for Real Madrid. As such,Bellingham might have one of the most disappointing cards in EA FC 25,but that doesn’t mean he’s bad.
Bellingham’s high rating and impressive attributes make him a top-tier card to use, but unfortunately, he doesn’t offer the versatility to play in a CM role, ashe only has his Role++ at CAM.Despite this limitation, Bellingham can still outshine other options, it’s just difficult to fit him into certain formations.
At the other end of the spectrum, we have to show love to one of the cards that consistently surprises us year after year, as Antoine Griezmann is among the best meta-relevant attackers you can find. While his attributes don’t jump off the page,Griezmann’s in-game performance and reliable scoring touch make him a huge assetfor any La Liga side.
90 Shooting and Dribbling combines with Griezmann’s Finesse Shot Plus to make him one of the most dangerous strikers in the game. While Finesse Shot Plus isn’t as good as it once was in FC 24,this card still performs well above what you would expectfrom face value.
Raphina has been a revelation for FC Barcelona in their 2024 season, with his incredible Trailblazers card offering some of the best qualities you could hope for in a wide player. Raphina’sTiki Taka Plusis not to be underestimated, as thisPlayStyle is undoubtedly one of the bestin the game.
Considering his passing abilities and ability to sprint down the line and score goals from tight angles, Raphina is an excellent addition to any side that enjoys passing through their opponent’s press.
Federico Valverde has cemented his place as one of the premier midfielders in EA FC,with his Thunderstruck card offering some of the most impressive attributes you can find in the game. Defense is his lowest attribute at 83, but everything else is 85 or above, an incredible feat considering that this card was released well before Team of the Year (TOTY).
The PowerShot Plus Playstyle is one of the best in EA FC 25 and allows Valverde to score from a distance, especially if you know how to pull off the first-time Power Shot version, which has an unusually high success rate.
It’s hard to pick what part of Mbappé’s card stands out the most, as simply calling himone of the best Dribblersor fastest players in the game feels like underselling his array of impressive qualities. Simply put,Mbappé is the perfect EA FC attacker,boasting a solid PlayStyle Plus, 99 Pace, and excellent weak foot and Skill Move ratings.
Mbappé’s card speaks for itself with some of the best attributes available, but his unique body type and ability to score seemingly at will sets him apart asa cheat code come to life.
