The official ratings unveiling of EA FC 25 is yet to occur, but if you’re someone who has faith in social media rumors, it’s said that Portuguese icon Cristiano Ronaldo will possess an 86-rated base item within the game. Recommended Videos.

This rumor emerges from a reliable leaker and content specialist known as AsyFutTrader, who shared the information on their X account. Ronaldo is one in a line of popular footballers whose cards have allegedly been leaked. I still have doubts regarding the actual in-game stats, as they haven’t been officially released yet, so it’s advisable to hold off on judgment until the developers fully disclose them.

The rumored item for Cristiano Ronaldo in EA FC 25 seems similar to that in EA FC 24

It’s quite common for footballers with similar ratings to transition between EA FC 24 and EA FC 25. After all, there are very few names that undergo a significant overhaul within a year. In the case of Cristiano Ronaldo, it’s rumored that he’ll maintain his overall rating of 86. This also implies that the Portuguese forward will once again be a standout in Ultimate Team.

His key card stats are said to experience some changes. His passing and physicality numbers have improved, but the rest remain the same as on his card from before. Of course, it’s best to wait for the full in-game stats reveal from EA Sports before we can accurately assess how effective he might be in the game.

Personally, I’m expecting Ronaldo to receive a slight reduction in his ratings. He’s been consistent for his club side, but his performances for the national team have been somewhat lackluster. Additionally, he’s aged by a year, and footballers do tend to slow down as they get older.

If this rumored card turns out to be his actual in-game item in a month from now, it’ll still be usable. For now, I’m patiently awaiting the official ratings reveal from EA Sports, which is expected later this month.
