FC 25: EA Sports FC 25 Players Missing From The Game May Return To Ultimate Team

EA FC 25 was released at the end of September, and the game's release date happened to be before the real transfer market officially closed. So if a player transferred to a new club late in the transfer window, EA Sports would have to release two versions of the player in EA FC 25 Ultimate Team. For example, Federico Chiesa, because of the late transfer, has both Liverpool and Juventus items in Ultimate Team, but the latter version is no longer available in the form of a set.

In the FC series, the idol card is one of the most sought-after cards in EA Sports FC 25. Although legendary football players such as Pele and Zinedine Zidane no longer play professional games, EA still sends them cards.

With new promotions like Centurions and Track Stars released every week, along with a ton of player SBCs and objectives, the bigger the player pool, the better, and now it seems some of the big names missing from EA FC 25 will soon be added back to Ultimate Team. Here are the missing EA FC 25 players who will be returning to Ultimate Team.

Diego Maradona

There’ s no doubt that Maradona is one of the best players to ever play football, often ranked alongside the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi as the best of all time. He had to be removed from FUT 22 in a previous version due to licensing issues, and has never been included in the list since. But the game needs an all-time great to bring the game back to life, and Maradona’ s re-addition as an icon is long overdue.

Adebayo Akinfenwa

Adebayo Akinfenwa may seem out of place compared to the other players on this list, as the general minimum rating is around 88, and Akinfenwa never reached this level in his career, but "The Beast" is definitely a FUT icon. In every tournament, the English striker is the best player in the game.

Gabriel Batistuta

Nicknamed "Batistuta" for his goal-scoring ability, the Argentine is one of the top strikers in his country. The striker position has always occupied an important position, so both teams and players rate him highly, and even a bronze statue was erected outside the Fiorentina stadium. As a deadly striker, he is a nightmare for opposing defenders in the penalty area. He is strong in the air, works hard, shoots hard, and is good at free kicks.

Mesut Ozil

The German has been the first choice CAM in Ultimate Team throughout his career, playing for teams such as Real Madrid and Arsenal. Ozil has won many championships in his career, including four FA Cups for Arsenal, so he deserves to be called an icon. Ozil is also an excellent dribbler, and with his keen eye for passing and accurate set-pieces, he will be able to play as a central midfielder, midfielder, right wing and left wing in the game, making him a very versatile midfielder.

Kevin Keegan

Kevin Keegan, who won the Ballon d'Or consecutively in 1978 and 1979, was considered one of the best players in the world during his career. If added to EA Sports FC 25, he will be very fast, his shooting and dribbling will be satisfying, and he will be a threat to opponents in the air. At the same time, being one of the only British people to win the Best Player award is enough to add him to the virtual football field.

In addition to this, some speculation also suggests that the following players are about to return to FC 25,

GK: David De Gea (Fiorentina)

CM: Adrien Rabiot (Marseille)

CAM: Marco Reus (LA Galaxy)

CAM: James Rodriguez (Rayo Vallecano)

ST: Alexis Sanchez (Udinese)

With these names reappearing in the game, it means that players will soon see them added back, and as long as these players are famous enough to receive Flashback SBCs.
