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.

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.

There are plenty of Bundesliga wonderkids available on EA FC 25 but Bayern Munich's Jamal Musiala could be the most fun in-game. The Germany international has five-star skill moves and four-star weak foot to go alongside his awesome 90 dribbling.

There are some seriously mercurial cards in Turkey's Super Lig and a team spearheaded by 87-rated Victor Osimhen would be capable of dismantling most opponents in EA FC 25. The Nigerian is rapid with 89 pace and can finish chances with 84 shooting.
