The third level of the Premier League team builds in EA Sports FC 25 sees some special cards added to the mix, mostly Heroes. Although they aren't as important here for increased Chemistry, their stats and prowess deeply influence gameplay.
Park Ji Sung is a very quick and agile winger and can help lead attacks from the wing. His Relentless PS and excellent stamina ensure you can keep him running up and down to harass opponents and tire them out. Foden is one of the best young right wingers in all of EA Sports FC 25, not just the Premier League. His stats and role as an RW enable him to cut in and shoot himself or assist Haaland. Meanwhile, the Norwegian striker is always a threat, be it from the ground or the air. He also has some of the highest shooting stats in the game right now, which means you can convert more goals than most.
Both Rosicky and De Bruyne come with Incisive Pass+, helping them land more passes than even those with the standard variant. De Bruyne and Haaland's partnership is as beneficial here as in the real world. The Belgian also has Dead Ball, which is great to pair with Haaland in free kicks and corners. Meanwhile, Rosicky's Technical playstyle and agility can help him get past multiple opponents.

Riise has all the pros of a great LB: pace, passing, defense, and physicality. Crossing is a particular highlight here, as well as stamina, and he can give the team a lot of attacking and defensive support. Walker is naturally among the best RBs in the game, and his excellent pace is helpful in pressuring and stealing the ball or funneling toward the CBs.
Romero is an intimidating presence as a defender and can stop attacks, even Aerial. His good pace and Relentless playstyle give you a strong CB that you can use throughout the match. Meanwhile, Carragher is sublime. Even though he doesn't have high pace or stamina, he can easily cut off attacks. With these four at the back, this Premier League team build in EA Sports FC 25 is easily one of the best you can make.

This is the best and most expensive Premier League team build in EA Sports FC 25 at the moment. The costs are insane, and you can maybe build a better team for the same price if you include other leagues as well. But if you wish to stick to England's top flight, this is it.
Eden Hazard (1.6m) and Yaya Toure (1.4m) were primary choices as LW and CM here, respectively. However, they have been skipped since they're extinct on PC. If you can get your hands on them, put Son as the ST, Hazard as the LW, Toure at the center, De Bruyne on the left, and Silva on the right.
Haaland retains his position as the striker in this Premier League team build as well - he's got the best stats for the job. Son makes his appearance as the LW with exceptional stats across the board. Not to forget, he also comes with Finesse Shot+, which is as broken as it was last year. Meanwhile, Doku joins the team as the RW. He has insane pace and dribbling stats, with Rapid+ a key playstyle this time around as well. He also has Trickster, which means you can use him for some new and exclusive skill moves in EA Sports FC 25. He doesn’t have the best shooting stats, but he has a knack for cutting in and placing himself in dangerous spots.
The midfield here stays the same as earlier, covering all the important aspects needed. Dribbling, passing, shooting, stamina, and even some defensive measures, everything is well in hand.
This EA Sports FC 25 Premier League team build sees two new additions in the backline: Kompany and Stam. Both have excellent stats and all the important playstyles that a defender needs. Kompany has Anticipate+, Aerial, Block, Bruiser, Slide Tackle, and even Power Shot. Stam comes with Aerial, Anticipate, Block, Bruiser+, and Jockey. Keeping the stats in mind, you’re well protected no matter the type of shot, be it headers, acrobatic kicks, or even long shots from powerful attackers. Even if someone assembles Real Madrid's best formation and Starting 11 in Ultimate Team, you can rest assured that they won't have an easy time.
