Premier League star directly calls out EA for his ‘s**t’ new FC 25 card and rating days before launch

EA FC 25 is now just days away from release with one Premier League star already fuming with his rating.

Players are given a scoring on popular game mode 'Ultimate Team' with the higher the number, the better the card.

For example, stars such as Erling Haaland, Kylian Mbappe and Rodri are some of the top-rated talents on the game.

But for one Tottenham Hotspur forward, he has already been left angry by the 81 rating handed out by EA.

"Hey FIFA, this is f**king s**t card," posted Richarlison via Instagram earlier today.

Boasting some 22 million followers, the Spurs man has quickly gone viral with his reaction.

You can see his card below.

Tottenham finished 5th in the Premier League last season, with the Brazilian failing to impress in the early part of the campaign. Things improved, however, after he underwent groin surgery in November.

Manager Ange Postecoglou opted to bring in Dominic Solanke from Bournemouth in the summer, spending big on the 27-year-old.

For Richarlison, last season wasn't completely able to bear fruit as he finished the 2023/24 campaign with 12 goals to his name.

Postecoglou has perhaps had a word with the 27-year-old regarding his performances, given he is yet to start a game for the Lilywhites this season.

"[Injuries] are a big part," said the Spurs boss when asked about the 27-year-old's form recently.

"The Everton game last year, that was a spell of him playing really regularly.

“I thought last year that whenever he got a series of games, he just looked better and better but invariably an injury hit.

“That chance the other night [in Monday's 1-1 draw at Leicester], if he had a full pre-season and a half a dozen games, he probably buries it because he’s so good in the air.

“I remember last year, I think it was Sheffield United where he had a very similar header and buried it but he’d had a pre-season.

“That’s the thing with Richy, it’s trying to get him fit. Obviously we have to be a little bit careful with him because he hasn’t played for quite a while.

“I’ve said before, whenever he’s been fit and available, I’ve always chosen him because he’s a handful for oppositions. "He’s a real physical presence in the box, he’s a good finisher, he works hard for the team.
