Summary
The Ultimate Team mode inEA Sports FC 25is all about making the right decisions, be it inside the pitch or outside. Not all players get coins with real-life cash, so it’s important to spend these hard-earned coins on the right players and avoid overspending.
Buying players that are among the top 10 in the world will require millions of coins, but it doesn’t mean players can’t build a capable team without breaking the bank. There are many stellar players in the transfer market with ratings beyond 90 that cost as low as 20,000 coins or even less. So, let’s get familiar with some of these under-the-radar players.
11Kane
Price Range: 20,000 - 24,000
The least suggested card series to spend money on in Ultimate Team is the common rare series, but when the budget is low, it’s not a bad deal. Although the Gold Rare version of Harry Kane might not have the glorious stats of other variants, it’s still a valuable card, and it can help a growing squad significantly on their way to higher ranks of Division Rivals or Squad Battles.
Having an English nationality and playing for Bayern Munich gives a massive flexibility to Kane, making him an ideal choice for either Bundesliga-based or Premier League-oriented squads. Of course, the latter is only possible if there are enough English players in the squad.
Harry Kane doesn’t have a good pace, but his finishing skills are top-notch. So, if the midfielders can feed him properly, Harry Kane will not miss many chances.
10Haaland
He might not be as good as Kane when it comes to passing or dribbling, but Haaland has stellar pace instead. Tall players are usually slow, but Haaland is a big exception. With a height of 6'5", the Norwegian striker still shares a Sprint Speed of 94, which is utterly impressive.
While Kane can also help create chances besides scoring goals, Haaland must be the target manin the attack. His finishing skills and shot power are eye-catching, but taking long shots from outside the box is not recommended.
9Duran
Price Range: 18,000 - 22,000
After an amazing season in the Premier League, Duran’s move to Al-Nassr was unexpected, which also makes him a less attractive choice for Ultimate Team players, as it will be quite difficult to improve his chemistry. However, he is still too good to be ignored.
Duran is a jack-of-all-trades. While his physical and shooting attributes are top-notch, he is also a team player, able to create chances and help create goals while also being good at scoring. Duran is not a reliable penalty taker, but his heading skills are also excellent, making him pretty flexible for any formation and play style.
8Ndicka
Price Range: 16,000 - 20,000
This list has many surprises for Serie A fans, and Ndicka is just the first one. The African defender comes with the highest Sprint Speed among all players on the list, and he is still a defender. A player like Ndicka in the defense line just guarantees that through balls from the opponent will not reach their attackers so easily.
He is not the tallest player on the list, but a Jumping of 97 means he can clear aerial threats easily. Even Ndicka’s dribbling attributes are all above 80. If he were an edge defender, it would be normal, but for a central back to be this good in areas that are expected from amidfielderrather than a defender, makes Ndicka a steal at this price range.
7Pedro
Pedro had a stellar career during his time at Barcelona, but he still hasn’t lost his magic after all these years, proving his value in multiple matches this season. It’s not a stretch to say that Lazio’s old winger is performing just as well as the young stars in Serie A.
Pedro’sDreamchasersvariant is a must-have for any player who is looking to complete their Serie A-based squad but doesn’t have a big budget. Getting a 91 in four different categories isn’t something to overlook, and Pedro delivers it. He is just as good at creating chances as he is at scoring goals from outside the box, and the 96-rated Long Shot attribute is a proof of that.
6Schlotterbeck
For a long time, Hummels used to be the iconic star in the defensive third of Borussia Dortmund, but it didn’t take long for the club to find a replacement of the same quality. Schlotterbeck is already a soliddefender, but his Dreamchasers card comes with even better attributes.
Physical and defensive stats are both beyond 90. A Jumping of 98 and Heading Accuracy of 92 not only allow Schlotterbeck to clear any aerial threats but also make him equally effective in the set-pieces and corner kicks to score. As a central back, Schlotterbeck also has a great pace, helping him chase down opponent strikers more effectively.
5Rrahmani
Napoli’s strong performance in this season of Serie A is not just tied to its midfielders or attackers. The team also introduces some amazing defensive players to the world who managed to secure the scored goals. That’s why Rrahmani has aTOTSvariant.
The player’s nationality is one big reason why this card is so cheap, and at this price, it’s a steal for any player building a squad around Serie A players. Rrahmani comes with top-notch defensive and physical skills, which are the most important attributes of a defender. He is also exceptionally fast for a defender’s standards, which makes him ideal to race against opponent attackers for through balls.
4Yildiz
It didn’t take long for Juventus' Turkish star to claim his spot in the starting XI of the club. The young winger comes with eye-catching pace, which makes her ideal for running along the edges and cutting inside the box. He also has some excellent shooting attributes, which make him capable of both creating a chance and scoring.
The dribbling and passing stats are just as great for Yildiz. Probably, he is only a little bit weaker in physical stats, but that’s just compared to his other attributes. Otherwise, a physical rating of 84 for a winger this fast is miraculous.
3Sesko
Price Range: 22,000 - 26,000
The main striker at RB Leipzig has already made a name for himself, being linked to multiple big clubs in Europe, before the transfer season begins. His Future Stars variant comes with a significant boost in almost every aspect, granting him a rating of above 90 in four categories.
The reason why Sesko is a cheap player with these amazing stats is the fact that he is only suitable for Bundesliga-based squads. There are not many top-notch Slovenian players to boost his chemistry, and the same goes for RB Leipzig, leaving Sesko an underrated purchase in the Ultimate Team, who can turn the tide easily for any squad.
2Linda Caicedo
Price Range: 17,000 - 20,000
Linda Caicedo is the winger that every team needs. She’s extremely fast, she has superb dribbling skills, and she comes with excellent ratings for Short and Long Pass as well as Crossing. Caicedo is one of those explosively fast wingers that ignite quick counter-attacks in the blink of an eye.
While she can easily feed attackers, she’s also capable of cutting inside and taking shots. Of course, his shooting skills are not as good as her passing, but still, she has a high chance of scoring.
The only downside with Caicedo is her physics, which is a problem with almost every agile winger. She’s not good at headers, and she has mediocre aggression, but her Stamina won’t drain anytime soon.
