EA FC 25 TOTY: Cole Palmer and Emi Martinez Shine in Star-Studded XI

Premier League Dominates Men’s TOTY

The Premier League boasts six players in EA FC 25’s highly-anticipated Men’s Team of the Year, including breakout Chelsea sensation Cole Palmer and Aston Villa’s World Cup-winning goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez.

Joining them are Arsenal’s defensive stalwart William Saliba, Liverpool duo Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk, and Manchester City’s midfield maestro Rodri. These players were recognized for their outstanding contributions during the 2023/24 season.

Real Madrid’s Champions League Stars Shine

Champions League holders Real Madrid also have a strong presence in the lineup, with four inclusions: FIFA Best Men’s Player Vinicius Junior, Jude Bellingham, Kylian Mbappe, and Dani Carvajal. Bellingham’s stunning debut season in Madrid, highlighted by a decisive performance in El Clasico, further solidified his spot.

Grimaldo Earns Recognition

Bayer Leverkusen left-back Alex Grimaldo completes the XI after an unbeaten Bundesliga season, earning widespread acclaim for his consistent performances.

Barcelona’s teenage star Lamine Yamal is a surprising omission, though the fierce competition in the forward positions explains his absence.
