If you are looking to make a Leicester City-like run in EA FC 25, managing your budget and investing in the right free agents will be a must, as they can turn your team into championship contenders while leaving your signing budget intact.
True to that, and so you can start your first season with the right foot, here’s an overview of the best free agents in EA FC 25. Keep in mind that the values below are related to the game’s state while playing with the Initial Squads.
Memphis Depay
- OVR: 82
- Positions: ST / LW
- Market Value: $32,500,000
The best free agent in EA FC 25, Memphis Depay can leave his mark even at the highest level through his high offensive stats, PlayStyle selection, and unique in-game body type. To make the deal even better, he is also not expensive and can be added to your squad with wages as low as 20-40K.
Adrien Rabiot
- OVR: 83
- Positions: CM / CDM
- Market Value: $38,000,000
Another great find, Adrien Rabiot’s high stats and great per-value PlayStyles selection make him a must-sign when looking for a CM, no matter your level of play. His salary, however, will be on the high side, so free up a considerable amount from your budget and set up a worthy release clause to further maximize any possible profit.
Luis Cháves
- OVR: 79
- Positions: CM / CDM
- Market Value: $19,000,000
A perfect alternative for Rabiot, Luis Cháves offers you a great package via his all-rounder stats and two great PlayStyles, Intercept and Tiki Taka. Unlike the above, his salary, which can go as low as 20K, also makes him a more than feasible investment for those working with tight budgets.
Akram Afif
- OVR: 77
- Positions: LM / CAM
- Market Value: $12,000,000
Perfect for those looking for a goalscoring midfielder, Akram Afif does justice to his status as one of Qatar’s most promising stars by pairing his high pace and decent shooting with a great set of PlayStyles, including Technical. He also won’t demand much from your salary budget and can be persuaded with wages of around 20K.
Erick Sánchez
- OVR: 78
- Positions: CM / CDM
- Market Value: $23,000,000
One hell of a find when looking for a starting CM, Erick Sanchez brings to the pitch a well-rounded selection of stats and the ability to fill in as a CDM if the need arises. His age and wages also guarantee you will be getting a massive return, even if his lack of PlayStyles will be felt.
Uriel Antuna
- OVR: 76
- Positions: RM / LM / RW
- Market Value: $9,500,000
If you are looking to get results right away at lower divisions or outside of Europe’s big five, Tigres’ Uriel Antuna can be considered a perfect pick, as his 92 PAC and Rapid combo sees him leave most markers in the dust. His ability to play on both sides of the pitch also makes him extremely adaptable when the subject is countering the opposition.
Alexis Vega
- OVR: 77
- Positions: LW, ST, and LM
- Market Value:$13,500,000
A name that does not need any introductions, Alexis Vega is both a staple in the Mexican national team and a clinical signing, especially for those who were unable to sign Memphis Depay. As you could see above, his native Finesse Shot PlayStyle also allows him to be a reliable scorer down the wings no matter what.
César Huerta
- OVR / Potential: 75 / 81
- Positions: LW / LM
- Market Value: $9,500,000
Cesar Huerta can be considered a godsend for those looking for either a rotation player capable of making a difference or a long-term investment, the latter given his balanced stats and high potential. Like most on our list, he can also be signed with wages as low as 20-30K.
Joselu
- OVR: 82
- Positions: ST
- Market Value: $16,000,000
Most well-known for his vital contributions in Real Madrid’s phenomenal 23/24 season, Joselu is the perfect fit for those looking for a static striker capable of getting the most out of crosses and 1v1 situations. As you can expect, though, he won’t be able to give you a big, long-term return, considering his age and capped potential.
Israel Reyes
- OVR / Potential: 74 / 80
- Positions: CB / CDM
- Market Value: $8,500,000
The best budget CDM among EA FC 25‘s free agents, Israel Reyes can bring a lot of consistency to your team via his above-average pace (for a defender) and balanced defensive stats. He is also one of the best players in our list when the subject is PlayStyles and can easily work as a CB when in 3 at the back formations.
