Player Items


The most vital cards in Football Club 25 are undoubtedly the Ultimate Team player items. They’re essential for fielding your team on the pitch. Before every match, you must select your starting eleven and fill the seven substitute slots; otherwise, you cannot participate.

If you’re looking for a particular player, we recommend utilizing the player filters on the transfer market. While the items obtained from packs should be considered, if you deem them unnecessary, you can sell them on the market to earn some coins or use them for completing SBCs.

FC 25 player items feature a lot of information, including:

  • Rating, Quality and Face Stats;
  • Item Type and Rarity;
  • Position;
  • Injuries;
  • Chemistry and Styles;
  • PlayStyles;
  • First Owner Status;
  • Key Strengths;
  • Skills;
  • Average Price;
  • Bio (more details).
Player Rating

Rating


The first thing you look at when you see a player card is its rating. This number, which goes from 0 to 99, gives a general idea of how good the player is. However, remember that overall rating is not an average or a reflection of all attributes. Sometimes, players with lower ratings can be better choices.

Quality


The color of the player item indicates his quality:
  • Bronze, for ratings up to 64;
  • Silver, for ratings between 65 and 74;
  • Gold, for ratings between 75 and 99.
Face Stats

Face Stats


To gauge a player’s quality, it’s essential to examine his attributes. The six primary statistics (pace, shooting, passing, dribbling, defending, and physicality), along with the weak foot and skill moves, offer a good indication of his abilities.

However, for a more comprehensive assessment, it’s recommended to review all of his attributes (found under ‘bio’ > ‘attribute details’). Additionally, using the right stick allows you to view the most pertinent stats tailored to the player’s position. One exception to this rule is goalkeepers, whose cards display all the attributes that influence their performance (diving, handling, kicking, reflexes, speed, and positioning).

Type


Regular cards, released on day 1, are the most basic. Every player has one. However, Ultimate Team features many different types of player items, including concepts, Icons, Heroes IF, and special. You can recognize the type by card art.

Rarity


Rare items are identified by being more bright and luminous. Contrary to non-common cards, they are assigned to players with something others don’t.
Player Position

Position


A crucial piece of information when planning your squad is your players’ primary and secondary positions. You must guarantee they are playing in their preferred positions; otherwise, they won’t have any chemistry.

In FC 25 Ultimate Team, a player can play in any of the fifteen positions. However, don’t expect to see a goalkeeper performing well as a striker. He won’t have any chemistry, and his stats won’t suit the position.

Injuries


A player can get injured and be out of the following matches. You can find details about how long the downtime is on his card. You can use a healing item in an injured player to speed up his recovery by up to five matches.

Chemistry


Expressed on a player item as zero to three blue diamonds, chemistry evaluates how well he identifies himself with teammates, manager and team.
Styles

Chemistry Styles


The active style is also visible in a player item. It allows you to choose what stats are changed when it has chemistry points. The more blue diamonds are filled up, the higher the chemistry is, and the more significant is the boost in the selected stats.

Average Price


The 5th Player View shows the Average Transfer Market Price. Instead of the minimum sale values provided by databases, the game displays the average value, which serves only as a reference when comparing two or more items.

More Details


By pressing R3, you can access the [Player Details] screen, which shows you more info through the four views available. It includes his name, surname, nickname, nationality, club and country where he plays, date of birth, height, foot preference, weak foot, skill moves, work rates, secondary positions, injuries and if he is untradeable or not.

You can also see the complete list of attributes, including playstyles, and some statistics about the performances, like how many matches were played, goals scored, assists made, and bookings. It is also possible to check two details of a specific player item: the price of this acquisition and the cumulative number of owners.
Graphic Signs on Player Cards

Graphic Signs


Sometimes you find a player item that has something different on it. If you don’t know what it is, we will try to help you identify four different situations.

When a player is suspended or injured, their cards have rectangles or band-aid signs on the top right side. The signs disappear as soon as you use a healing card on them or end the suspension.

A specific signal also identifies the players on loan: a blue circle showing the remaining matches.

Since FC 24, there is also a special icon to identify first owner items.
