Diogo Jota’s FC25 ultimate team is as ridiculous as you would expect with some rare cards in his starting XI.
The Liverpool man seems to be one of Arne Slot’s main men and he was on hand to put the Reds ahead against Crystal Palace on Saturday afternoon. The goal saw his side to victory at Selhurst Park.
He was quick to show fans his new celebration with many spotting his reference to FC 25 following its release last week.
Now, his own FC25 Ultimate Team has been revealed. According to TikToker @MitchAustin10 the Liverpool forward boasts a strong side.

In goal, Thibaut Courtois got the nod, with Kyle Walker, Eder Militao, Virgil van Dijk and Ferland Mendy making up the defence.
Moving into the midfield, Patri Guijarro, Alexia Putelas and Fede Valverde all have a place in Jota’s ultimate team.
In the final third, he has ‘first-owner’ David Ginola, Kylian Mbappe and ‘iconcard’ Brazilian Ronaldo.
The Reds forward has previously explained how his real-life football knowledge helps his technique and team selection in the game.
"Since my dad gave me my first PlayStation as a kid, it's been like another passion of mine. I always played football on it,” he told The Athletic in 2023.
“I always liked games where you can manage your own team. In the world of esports, I feel like I can have three things all together — my passion for football, the competition of playing against other people and also managing.
“You can have a great world if you play responsibly. It can be a professional thing but for me, during my life, it’s been a proper hobby. I have time to do other things as well.”
In the same year, he was one of the top registered players on FIFA 23, which allowed him to qualify for the eChampions League on his PlayStation 5. But admitted he tried to avoid scoring when using himself on the game.
Despite his clear love for FC25 and the FIFA franchise, he did admit that another game was his favourite in 2023.
“I also love managing games and I think Football Manager is the top one. I’ve been waiting for the release of the new game to start playing again. Now it’s out, I’m sure I’ll find something interesting to do, project-wise,” Jota explained.
