10. Cole Palmer–Chelsea FC
- Weak Foot: Three Stars
- Skill Moves: Four Stars
Cole Palmer is widely regarded as one of the best wide midfielders in career mode and has a very solid card in Ultimate Team mode. His base rating on the gold card is 85, but with Player of the Month card, his rating has risen by two points.
If Palmer can maintain his excellent performance last season and continue to lead Chelsea’s offense, he will probably continue to receive more cards. Although his speed may be a drawback, he is still a great skill player to have in any Premier League-themed team.
9. Phil Foden–Manchester City
- Weak Foot: Three Stars
- Skill Moves: Four Stars
Cole Palmer has undoubtedly become a rising star in the football world after his upgrade. Phil Foden has already been fully proven on the field. If we compare their base gold cards, it is not difficult to find that Foden actually represents a certain improvement on Palmer.
The connection between these two players is not only that they both played for Manchester City, but also because Foden’s rise and talent are the main reasons why Palmer chose to leave Manchester City and move to Chelsea.
If we look closely, we can still find some subtle differences between them. The most obvious one is speed. Foden is faster, which allows him to break through the defense more quickly when dribbling forward, posing a greater threat to the opponent. He is more explosive, which allows him to deal with dense defenses more calmly.
8. Chloe Kelly–Manchester City WFC
- Weak Foot: Four Stars
- Skill Moves: Four Stars
Chloe Kelly is one of the top right-wing options to improve your team’s performance. Not only does she have amazing speed and excellent wing-break ability to pass the ball into the penalty area, but also have a reasonable price, only costing a few FIFA 25 Coins to get her.
Although her finishing ability is not as good as Foden, Kelly excels in passing the ball from the right. In contrast, Foden is more threatening in the middle. Considering their different roles, Kelly has a slight edge over Foden because of her better weak foot.
7. Trent Alexander-Arnold–Liverpool
- Weak Foot: Four Stars
- Skill Moves: Three Stars
Trent Alexander-Arnold is one of the best passers in Ultimate Team because of his excellent basic passing ability. This value is further improved in his Total Rush version. Although his speed is not amazing, Trent Alexander-Arnold can play the false fullback role well to participate in the attack.
As long as you take advantage of Trent’s strengths and let him create chances through crosses, he will contribute importantly to the team’s victory.
6. Lauren Hemp–Manchester City WFC
- Weak Foot: Three Stars
- Skill Moves: Four Stars
Lauren Hemp has improved in speed and dribbling ability, while shooting and passing ability have slightly decreased. Fortunately, the trade-off is not obvious, but the improvement helps Hemp play a better role on the left. Hemp and Kelly are both affordable, making them a superb partner on the wing.
Even though Kelly and Hemp are the only two female players, their tacit understanding will not be a problem if other English players join.
5. Declan Rice–Arsenal
- Weak Foot: Three Stars
- Skill Moves: Three Stars
Declan Rice is one of the most outstanding defensive midfielders in world football today. He is preparing to share the responsibility of the team’s defensive core with the equally talented Rodri. In today’s football, excellent young defensive midfielders are rare, and their scarcity makes top players like Rice particularly valuable.
As a leader in Premier League, Arsenal not only has many English players, but also provides a perfect platform and opportunity for some of the best players in this year’s Ultimate Team. It is worth mentioning that Rice’s teammates also emerged in Ultimate Team and won the honor of one of the best English players. This is not only a recognition of their individual abilities, but also a recognition of Arsenal’s overall strength.
4. Lauren James–Chelsea FC Women
- Weak Foot: Four Stars
- Skill Moves: Five Stars
Lauren James, a talented right-back, is undoubtedly one of the most dazzling stars in today’s football. The tacit cooperation between her and Sam Kerr is unique. This tacit cooperation not only makes opponents unable to defend.
In attack, her flexible movement and excellent personal ability allow her to easily break through the opponent’s defense and create more scoring opportunities for the team. The presence of Sam Kerr is even more powerful, and the tacit cooperation between the two makes the entire offensive line full of threats.
Even without Kerr’s company, James is still a reliable right back. Her solid defense and accurate passing provide a solid backup for James. It is worth mentioning that James is extremely affordable, which undoubtedly makes her one of the best choices for teams with limited budgets.
3. Kyle Walker–Manchester City
- Weak Foot: Two Stars
- Skill Moves: Three Stars
Kyle Walker successfully retained the title of one of the best defensive players in Ultimate Team with his amazing speed and solid defensive ability, making him a well-rounded choice at the right back position. Although he may not be as good as TAA in offense, Walker’s speed and physical fitness have been significantly improved, making him an excellent choice. In addition, Walker also cooperates very well with other players.
2. Bukayo Saka–Arsenal
- Weak Foot: Four Stars
- Skill Moves: Three Stars
Bukayo Saka is one of the best performing wingers in Ultimate Team, especially when you can get his upgrade. Arsenal link is perfect if you have Bukayo Saka, and while Saka doesn’t use any fancy skill moves to confuse opponents, his focus on pace, dribbling, passing and shooting makes him a well-rounded option capable of creating offensive opportunities for himself or his teammates.
1. Jude Bellingham–Real Madrid
- Weak Foot: Four Stars
- Skill Moves: Four Stars
Jude Bellingham is the best English player in Ultimate Team. Real Madrid star showed amazing quality in his first season in Madrid, helping the club out of draws or defeats on many occasions.
