Summary There are 34 PlayStyles in EAFC 25 and we have ranked the nine best,
PlayStyles reflect real-life player abilities and provide a boost alongside their stats.
The ‘Finesse Shot’, ‘Technical’ and ‘Anticipate’ PlayStyles rank impressively.
EA Sports FC 25 is like a jigsaw. Every small detail matters. Make one mistake and it can crumble in an instant, especially when you are trying to beat some of the best gamers in the world on the online scene. It means you need to perfect every area of the game, and that includes PlayStyles, as they are an additional upgrade for cards alongside their standard stats.
They are based on real life, so they reflect a player’s elegance – or lack of it – on the pitch. When a player has a PlayStyle, they will be better at specific things than athletes who don’t have that PlayStyle. It can prove crucial when victory is decided by the tightest of margins.
For some players, it’s even better though. A plethora of the best footballers in the world also have a PlayStyle+, which is – unsurprisingly – even better than normal PlayStyles. They are given an extra boost to make them stand out from the crowd when necessary. We have already outlined all 34 PlayStyles in six different categories, but now it’s time to rank the nine best. You truly should keep an eye out for these when purchasing your next superstar.

9 Trivela
In real life, a trivela is known as a technique that involves using the outside of the foot to make a shot or pass that curves the ball. Descending from the Portuguese language, it’s one of the most elegant things to watch – or do – and it can be replicated in EA Sports FC 25 with ease.
The PlayStyle is given to players who are, unsurprisingly, known for passing, crossing or shooting with the outside of their foot. The PlayStyle helps them do it regularly, whilst – if they have the PlayStyle+ – the chance of error is drastically reduced. Only Luka Modric, Bruno Guimaraes and Frankie de Jong have the PlayStyle+ as gold cards, but Team of the Year stars Kylian Mbappe, Guro Reiten and Caroline Graham Hansen are part of a strong group of special cards who can do so.
8 Relentless
Moving on, a PlayStyle named ‘Relentless’ pretty clearly suggests who it is intended for. Unsurprisingly, players who are workhorses, consistently running and breaking up possession, are relentless. When they never stop and seem to have a third lung, it’s a fair description to have.
In EAFC 25, this PlayStyle reduces fatigue during play and increases fatigue recovery during half-time. You’ll be able to notice its impact, and stars with the PlayStyle+ have even greater effects. The likes of Jude Bellingham, Grace Geyoro, Andy Robertson and Nicolo Barella have the PlayStyle+ as gold cards, allowing them to shine even against some of the best cards in EAFC 25.
7 Quick Step
There’s nothing more satisfying than watching a player burst past a defender on the counter-attack. The sudden explosion of speed catches everyone by surprise; fans get off their seats, the coaching staff watch on eagerly and the defending team attempts to track by for their lives. Most of the time it is too late to stop it though.
When you think of situations like this, Mbappe is one of the first names that springs to mind. He can do exactly that, whilst his Real Madrid teammate, Vinicius Junior – who missed out on the 2024 Ballon d’Or in dramatic circumstances, is in a similar boat. With this PlayStyle in EAFC 25, they accelerate even faster when making an ‘explosive’ sprint, with the effects even greater with the PlayStyle+.
6 Whipped Pass
Meanwhile, elegant and sophisticated crosses also provide a new dimension to football matches. They can create promising chances in an instant, and the ‘Whipped Pass’ PlayStyle brings that to life in EAFC 25. It’s given to players who make quick crosses into the box, often trying to catch defenders by surprise.
The PlayStyle improves their chance of success as they travel faster with more accuracy and curve. The PlayStyle+ also helps driven crosses be completed with
