Who Are the Best Rush Players in EA FC 25?

There are two stats that rule over all when it comes to selecting your five-player team in Rush mode. These are dribbling and passing. That’s because the pitches are much smaller and you’ve only got four outfield players to use. Therefore, each player will see a lot more of the ball than in a regular match. You’ll need players who can run with the ball, dribble past opponents, and pick the pass to expand the play.

See the table below for some of our top picks, alongside key stats that make them stand out.

Since chemistry is less of a concern in Rush mode, and positional play is taken away in favor of players running across all areas of the pitch, you can mix and match the players above without fear of penalty. We’ve primarily gone for versatile players without major weak points. As such, they’re able to cope with both attacking and defending phases, ensuring your team is balanced.
