EA SportsTo compete in Rivals and climb to higher ranks in Champions, you’ll need to have one of the best strikers in EA FC 25 Ultimate Team.

While we’ll wait for the official ratings for the definitive list, leaks have already revealed the highest-rated players in the game. With this in mind, here are the best strikers in EA FC 25 Ultimate Team and their leaked ratings.
Best FC 25 strikers leaked
| Player Name | Club | Leaked Rating |
|---|---|---|
| Kylian Mbappe | Real Madrid | 91 |
| Erling Haaland | Manchester City | 91 |
| Sam Kerr | Chelsea | 90 |
| Harry Kane | Bayern Munich | 90 |
| Sophia Smith | Portland Thorns FC | 89 |
| Ada Hegerberg | Lyon | 89 |
| Lautaro Martinez | Inter | 89 |
| Robert Lewandowski | Barcelona | 88 |

| Lea Schüller | Bayern Munich | 86 |
| Khadija Shaw | Manchester City | 86 |

| Cristiana Girelli | Juventus | 85 |

These are the top 20 highest-rated strikers in EA FC 25 (excluding Heroes and Icons) according to the leaked ratings from FUT Scoreboard. It’s worth noting that these ratings could be tweaked before release as well as their respective clubs should any transfers materialize.
That said, most ratings will likely be unchanged, especially the frontrunners. Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland are once again the best players in the game. Both strikers enjoyed impressive seasons for their clubs and will immediately be the most-wanted players at launch.
EA SportsDespite an injury-riddled campaign, Sam Kerr remains in the 90-rated club so she’ll be just as effective on the pitch as she was in FC 24. UT fan-favorite Sophia Smith has earned a +1 boost for grabbing 16 G/A in just 14 NWSL matches, so you can expect her transfer market prices to skyrocket.
As for potential bargains, a -4 downgrade for Karim Benzema should see his prices drop. His card should still have a PlayStyle+ along with the Controlled Lengthy Accelerate type, making him one for your starter squads.
Best strikers explained
The best strikers in EA FC 25 have 80+ ratings in Pace and Shooting. While Shooting is self-explanatory, having high Pace will allow the player to speed away from defenders and spearhead counter-attacks. An 80+ stat in Dribbling is also ideal, especially if you want your frontman to take defenders on.
Besides this, the best strikers have meta PlayStyles such as Aerial, Finesse Shot, Quick Step, and Acrobatic. As for the Accelerate type, Lengthy and Controlled Lengthy, or Explosive and Controlled Explosive usually work best for strikers.
We’ll be updating this article with the meta strikers and the best budget options shortly after launch, so make sure to check back. Until then, take a look at all the new Heroes & Icons in FC 25, and the new Rush feature.
