Having players with the right PlayStyles was an important key to victory in FC 24, and the same will be the case in EA FC 25 as well. The Aerial PlayStyle in particular is especially useful due to the overpowered nature of crossing plays, making it a necessary trait for both attackers and defenders on the virtual pitch.
The meta of FC 24 was dominated by players having the Aerial+ PlayStyle, with special versions of players like Erling Haaland and Didier Drogba being among the most popular attackers. With the ratings and stats being readjusted in EA FC 25, fans will be curious to know which players possess this trait in the latest title.
These are the 10 highest-rated EA FC 25 players with the Aerial PlayStyle
1) Rodri (Overall- 91)

While this PlayStyle might not be as necessary for midfielders on the virtual pitch, it will still be useful during set piece scenarios. Rodri has received a massive +2 boost to his overall rating after his performances for Manchester City and Spain last season, and he now possesses the attributes and traits required to be an excellent defensive midfielder and playmaker in-game.
2) Sam Kerr (Overall- 90)
After a successful season with Chelsea in the BWSL last season, Sam Kerr has retained her overall rating of 90 in EA FC 25. She is amongst the highest-rated women in the game, and while she is not the tallest player in terms of stature, the Aerial PlayStyle will give her the boost she needs to contend against physically dominant defenders on the virtual pitch.
3) Virgil van Dijk (Overall- 89)
Virgil van Dijk has historically been one of the best and most dominant defenders on the virtual pitch since FIFA 18 due to his defensive stats and physical stature. Not only is the Liverpool FC superstar 89-rated with amazing attributes in EA FC 25, but he also has the Aerial+ PlayStyle, which will make it almost impossible to beat him in an aerial duel.
4) Ada Hegerberg (Overall- 89)
Lyon is undoubtedly one of the most dominant clubs in the world of women's football, and a large part of their success can be attributed to their Norwegian striker Ada Hegerberg. Not only is she the highest-rated player in the D1 Arkema league, but she also has the Aerial PlayStyle to complement her amazing shooting stats.
5) Marie Katoto (Overall- 88)
PSG are Lyon's most competitive rivals in the D1 Arkema league, and they possess an impressive lineup in EA FC 25 as well. Their star striker Marie Katoto has retained her overall rating of 88 in the latest title after being part of the French league Team of the Season in FC 24. She also possesses the Aerial PlayStyle, which will help her score headers as well.
6) Wendie Renard (Overall- 88)
Despite not having the pace required to be a meta defender on the virtual pitch, Wendie Renard still has the potential to be usable due to her impressive defensive stats and the Aerial PlayStyle. She was part of the FUTTIES and Team of the Year promos in FC 24, so a special item with a pace boost could make her popular in EA FC 25 as well.
7) Irene Paredes (Overall- 88)
Irene Paredes is one of the most important players in the FC Barcelona Femini side that has dominated women's football for years. She has an overall rating of 88 in EA FC 25, along with well-balanced stats and the Aerial PlayStyle. While she is not as tall as Renard, she could prove to be more useful due to her pace and agility.
8) Antonio Rudiger (Overall- 88)
As the reigning Champions League and La Liga winners, Real Madrid has received a host of massive upgrades in EA FC 25, including their star center-back Antonio Rudiger. He has received a +3 boost and is 88-rated in the latest title. His incredible pace, defending, and physical stats are already enough to make him a meta defender, and the Aerial PlayStyle makes him even more impressive.
9) Marquinhos (Overall- 87)
Despite losing Kylian Mbappe in the summer, PSG still has an amazing roster in EA FC 25. Marquinhos is their second-highest-rated player and has retained his overall rating of 87. With decent pace, passing, and dribbling stats, along with amazing defending and physicality, the Aerial PlayStyle is the cherry on top that makes him an overpowered defender on the virtual pitch.
10) Alexandra Popp (Overall- 87)
Despite having a successful season with Wolfsburg, Alexandra Popp has been downgraded in EA FC 25. However, with an overall rating of 87, she is still amongst the highest-rated women in the GPFBL. She is slightly slow but has the shooting and dribbling abilities to be useful in-game. Her high jumping stats and the Aerial PlayStyle will also make her a formidable force in the air.
