The Ultimate Succession promo inEA Sports FC 25comes on the heels of Black Friday’s excellent content patch that featuredimpressive Thunderstruck cards to collect.While this batch of cards has a lot of hype to follow up on, the best Ultimate Succession players are worth getting excited about.
While getting your hands on the top Ultimate Succession cards is incredibly difficult without a massive coin balance or incredible pack luck, these options are worth it. If you were lucky enough to pull one of these cards from a certain player pick, you’ll be ecstatic about their performances on the pitch, as some of the top-tier cards are available.
Four Stars
If you’ve been enjoying Marcus Thuram’s Serie A Player of the Month (POTM) card, then you will love this upgraded version – assuming you can afford the sky-high price. While it’s unlikely that his price will remain as high as it is now, prepare to shell out serious coins to buy him on the Transfer Market.
Once you’ve added this French striker to your starting 11, you’re able to choose to deploy him as either aFalse Nine or an Advanced Forward thanks to his Role++ in both positions.Thuram’s combination of Pace and Physical make him one of the most difficult strikers to defend in EA FC 25.
Three Stars
Sandro Tonali wasone of the best Premier League playersyou could get at the start of EA FC 25, and his Ultimate Succession card brings him back into the spotlight with an impressive set of attributes. While Tonali doesn’t specialize in one area on paper, his well-rounded qualities make himan excellent Deep-Lying Playmakerin your midfield.
Unfortunately, you won’t be pulling off dazzling Skill Moves with Tonali, but if you stick to his strengths and use him as a defensive stopgap, then you’ll notice him as an essential cog in your starting 11.
Lamine Yamal continues to improve his profile asone of the best La Liga players,and this Ultimate Succession card is the best version of him thus far. While Yamal’s Gold Card and his Team of the Week offered underwhelming performance in-game, this Ultimate Succession version gives Yamal several helpful boosts as well as theTrivela PlayStyle Plus.
Yamal’s biggest weakness is his lack of a strong physical presence, so you’ll need to master being elusive andtake advantage of Skill Moves to avoid defenders muscling you off the ball.
Five Stars
Alessandro Del Piero receivesa plus one overallfrom his base Icon card, making him an even deadlier finisher than he already was. His best role is Shadow Striker, which allows Del Piero to occupy space near the 18-yard box, while possessing the passing prowess to set up a teammate if he doesn’t' have a clear view of goal.
While Finesse Shot Plus doesn’t result in an automatic goal, as it seemed to in FC 24, the PlayStyle still helps to ensure you release your shot quickly and accurately. This gives Del Piero multiple tools in his arsenal to serve as one of the best CAMs in EA FC 25.
Speaking of world-class CAMs, Lionel Messi’s Ultimate Succession upgrade elevates him to meta-releavance again, although the lack of easy link options will undoubtedly make itchallenging to get him on full chem.However, if you have a blend of Icons, Heroes, orsome of the best Argentinian players,it should be fairly easy to get full chemistry.
Messi can function as an Inside Forward role from the RW, or Shadow Striker as a CAM, giving him two options to perform to maximum efficiency in your team.
Playing cards in theirideal Role++improves their positioning and general efficacy during games.
Kaka keeps the CAM streak going, as this Icon offers many of the best traits that Messi does, but it is even easier to fit into any Ultimate Team starting 11. While Messi’s Role++ flexibility surpasses Kaka’s limitations in CAM, Messi’s linkset can prevent him from performing to his peak if you don’t have the tools to achieve full chemistry.
Given that Kaka boasts all the qualities you could want from a CAM and is extremely easy to slot into any starting 11, he gets a slight edge as one of the best Ultimate Succession Icons.
Two Stars
There’s not much that needs to be said about Paolo Maldini, as he’s frequently regarded as the best defender of all-time in real life and carries the same title in the virtual scene. A four-star weak foot makes Maldini much more consistent at passing out from the back – a rare quality for a CB.
If you are desperate to find a new LB, you can also shift Maldini over to that side, assuming you have top-quality options already at CB that would warrant this legend playing in his less-favored position.
Much like Maldini, Ronaldinho’s reputation precedes him, and a single glance at his attributes leaves no doubt about the level of performance you’re about to see.
Of course, attributes aren’t the only factor, as Roles and PlayStyles heavily impact how a card performs on the pitch.
With the option to use Ronaldinho as a Wide Playmaker at LW or a Playmaker at CAM, his qualities can shine at whichever position you have fewer options for. Trickster+ is a fun addition to this superstar, as his other base PlayStyles like Finesse Shot and Technical elevate his card to incredible heights.
