EA FC 25: These are the best budget players for each position
There are now thousands of player cards in EA FC 25, which makes the choice for your team increasingly confusing. That's why we've put together the best budget players for each position today.
In EA FC 25, it's not just individual playing strength that is important, but also the quality of the team as a whole when it comes to winning or losing. However, not everyone can afford the most expensive and best players.
That's why we help you to put together the best possible team with a fair budget and offer you a top player for each position with a market value of 150,000 to 500,000 coins.
Goalkeeper: Gianluigi Buffon - 91 GES
We start with Italian legend Gianluigi Buffon in the goalkeeping position. For the first time as an icon in FC 25, he comes with an impressive card. He currently costs just 250,000 coins and comes with the best playstyle for goalkeepers with Playstyle+ "Long Range".
Centre-back: Rúben Dias - 93 GES
Next, we present Rúben Dias, the Manchester City centre-back who is new to FC 25. With the PlayStyles+ "Anticipation" and "Edge", he is a strong player for your defence. He can also be easily integrated into almost any team thanks to his league and is fairly priced with a market value of 170,000 coins.
Right-back: Denzel Dumfries - 89 GES
In the right-back position, we have Denzel Dumfries, who is known above all for his strong physicality. In FC 25, he will make it difficult for opponents to get past him. With a price tag of 370,000 coins, he is a worthwhile investment.
Left-back: Theo Hernandez - 87 GES
In the left-back position, we recommend Theo Hernandez, who remains an excellent choice even as a gold card. He has been one of the best in his position since the release of FC 25, and even his gold card is still worth around 270,000 coins.
Centre defensive midfield: Frenkie de Jong - 91 GES
In central defensive midfield we have Frenkie de Jong. If you have a bigger budget, you should perhaps consider the Winter Wildcards ZM version. However, the ZDM version offers an excellent alternative for 330,000 coins with the PlayStyles+ "Kante+" and "Grätsche+".
Attacking midfield: Jamal Musiala - 94 GES
In attacking midfield comes a player who particularly shines this year thanks to his FUT Birthday card: Jamal Musiala. With 5-star "Weak Foot" and "Special Movement" as well as a Playstyle+ "Flat Full Stretch Shot", he is a real highlight. His price is around 500,000 coins.
Right wing: Michael Olise - 91 GES
On the right wing, we have Michael Olise, who also received a strong "Grassroot Greats" card in FC 25. With the PlayStyles+ "Technique" and "Cut Shot", he is perfect for this position. He currently costs around 400,000 coins, which makes him affordable for many players.
Left wing: Nico Williams - 93 GES
In the left wing position, we recommend Nico Williams, who also has a FUT Birthday card and boasts 99 pace and "double 5". The price is currently around 435,000 coins.
Striker: Khadija Shaw - 95 GES
The only woman in our list is Khadija Shaw, who is represented with a Team of the Year card. She costs around 250,000 coins, which is very favourable for a player with three PlayStyles+ "Cut Shot", "Rest Pole" and "In the Air". This allows her to score particularly well in aerial duels.
