Here are some helpful tips for navigating FC 25, whether you’re aiming for success in career mode or trying to dominate in Division Rivals. We’ve expanded upon that and put together a comprehensive guide that features the new five-a-side Rush mode, player ladders, the bronze pack strategy, and crucial rankings for the fastest players and top wonderkids. Get ready to enhance your gameplay in just a few minutes by checking out these seven essential FC 25 tips before diving in.
### 1. Dive into Rush Mode Right Away
Wave goodbye to Volta and welcome Rush. This exciting new five-a-side format in FC 25 is a must-try and should be your first stop. It’s played on a pitch that’s about one-third the size of a traditional field. While traditional corner kicks, free kicks, and throw-ins are still in play, the game introduces blue cards that send you to a “sin bin” for one minute instead of red cards. Plus, there’s a specific offsides line akin to what you might see in ice hockey. Rush is available across all modes, including career mode, where you can use it to participate in youth tournaments and develop your young talents. A crucial tip for Ultimate Team is to ensure at least one player stays back to defend; if no one else is doing it, take on that role to earn more coins and Rush Points.
### 2. Familiarize Yourself with the Fastest Players
Although speed isn’t quite as overpowering in FC 25 as it was in FIFA thanks to Player Roles, having some of the game’s fastest players can still be a significant advantage, especially if you prefer playing down the wings. Below is a list of the top ten fastest players in FC 25, based on their base Ultimate Team cards. Don’t forget that you can enhance their attributes further using FC 25 chemistry styles.
| Name | Position | Team | OVR | Pace |
|———————|————–|——————|—–|——|
| Kylian Mbappe | ST (LW) | Paris SG | 91 | 97 |
| Karim Adeyemi | LM (RW, ST) | Dortmund | 79 | 96 |
| Vini Jr | LW (LM, ST) | Real Madrid | 90 | 95 |
| Theo Hernandez | LB (LM) | AC Milan | 87 | 95 |
| Moussa Diaby | RM (CAM) | Al Ittihad | 83 | 95 |
| Alphonso Davies | LB (LM) | FC Bayern | 82 | 95 |
| Yankuba Minteh | RM (RW) | Brighton | 74 | 95 |
| Inaki Williams | RM (RW, ST) | Athletic Bilbao | 82 | 94 |
| Kevin Schade | LW (RW) | Brentford | 72 | 94 |
| Trinity Rodman | RM (RW, ST) | Washington Spirit | 84 | 94 |
### 3. Utilize All Game Modes for Ladder Players
In Ultimate Team, the FC 25 Season 2 Ladder Players have become quite valuable, but you no longer have to grind for them alone. The Season Pass now offers rewards throughout the game, like coins for Pro Clubs or new cosmetic items for Player Career. To explore potential earning opportunities, press L2/LB from the main menu, navigate to Objectives, and hit X/A. After that, press L2/LB again to scroll through tasks in each mode. Keep an eye on Rush mode early on, as it’s designed to be highly engaging.
### 4. Watch Out for Fake Clubs
This year, AS Roma is back in the game and adds to the variety of club kits available. However, due to licensing changes, other teams have shifted to fictional names—Inter Milan is now Lombardi FC, AC Milan has become Milano FC, and teams like Lazio and Atalanta are known as Latium and Bergamo Calcio, respectively. Notably, Camp Nou has been left out again, but there are a few surprises that balance things out, as you’ll see in point 7.
### 5. The Bronze Pack Method is Still Relevant
The bronze pack method is a popular strategy for efficiently generating coins in FC 25, whether you’re on console, PC, or using the web app. A pack containing 12 bronze cards costs 750 coins. If you sell a couple of those cards for 500 coins each, you immediately turn a profit. Open a pack and use ‘Compare Price’ for all players, managers, and kits, while quick-selling others. Any item priced at 150/200 can go directly onto the market at that price. For high-value items, list them just below the cheapest Buy Now price for a quick sale. Consistent checking (3-4 times daily) can yield substantial coins over time—up to 10,000 coins a week, easily!
### 6. Identify the Best Young Talent
This year’s career mode is well-rounded, giving you access to women’s teams for the first time, as well as Rush matches that can help nurture young players. Despite these exciting changes, it’s crucial to keep true to tradition: investing in young talent on the FC 25 best young players list is still vital. Check out these ten wonderkids aged 21 and under who show the highest potential in career mode:
| Player | Position | Age | Team | OVR | Potential |
|———————|————–|—–|——————|—–|———–|
| Lamine Yamal | RW, LW | 16 | Barcelona | 81 | 94 |
| Jude Bellingham | CAM, CM | 21 | Real Madrid | 90 | 94 |
| Jamal Musiala | CAM, LM, CM | 21 | FC Bayern | 87 | 93 |
| Florian Wirtz | CAM, LM | 21 | Bayer Leverkusen | 88 | 92 |
| Endrick | ST, RW | 17 | Real Madrid | 77 | 91 |
| Warren Zaire-Emery | CM, CDM | 18 | Paris SG | 80 | 90 |
| Arda Guler | CAM, RM | 19 | Real Madrid | 78 | 90 |
| Gavi | CM, LW | 19 | Barcelona | 83 | 90 |
| Pedri | CM, LW | 21 | Barcelona | 86 | 90 |
| Eduardo Camavinga | CM, CDM, LB | 21 | Real Madrid | 83 | 90 |
### 7. New Stadiums for Championship Teams
EA’s licensing agreements ensure we have access to all 20 Premier League stadiums, which can sometimes result in a wait for updates—such as Luton Town’s Kenilworth Road, added last April. However, a pleasant surprise this year includes the inclusion of three new EFL Championship stadiums: Ewood Park (Blackburn Rovers), Ashton Gate (Bristol City), and Coventry Building Society Arena (Coventry City). These are among ten new venues available, adding excitement to the game!
With these tips in hand, you’re set to enhance your FC 25 experience! Enjoy the game!
