Everton’s best players in EA FC 25
Everton fans who love playing EA FC 25 will probably be eager to have some representation from the club in their Ultimate Team.
However, given their struggles in recent years, not too many players from the current squad are attractive propositions on the game.
A measure of how far they have fallen can be gleaned from the bookmakers’ latest odds for Everton to finish in the top half of this season.
Punters who wager online on mobile can back the Toffees at 14/1 to finish in the top 10 – odds which reflect their recent on-field struggles.
On that basis, gamers are unlikely to be clamouring to acquire current Everton players in EA FC 25. Here’s a look at their squad’s ratings on the latest edition of the game.

How to build the best Everton EA FC 25 squad
The most effective way to build a squad which represents Everton in EA FC 25 is to blend a mix of Icons and Heroes with a sprinkling of current players.
Jordan Pickford, James Tarkowski and Jarrad Branthwaite make the cut from this season’s squad, although they may not be regulars in the starting XI.
A case can also be made to have Dwight McNeil in the EA FC 25 squad, but that is probably about as far as it goes from the current group of players.
Games who want to assemble a line-up which truly represents Everton’s legacy will need to use their creativity and think outside of the box.
It will require a sizeable number of coins to acquire these players, but gamers will end up with an Everton squad which they can proudly go to war with.

- RB: Nathalie Björn (86 OVR – UWCL RTTK)

From there, gamers will not be too far away from having a squad capable of mixing it with the best in the Ultimate Team feature on EA FC 25.
By engaging in some player development on a handful of rising talents to add into the mix, gamers would be well-placed to do justice to Everton.
There are also a handful of other players with Everton connections gamers could consider who could provide even more balance to the squad.
