Harry Kane will be the lone striker up front, with Bukayo Saka on the right and Manchester City's Phil Foden on the left.

Luke Shaw will play as the left-back and Kyle Walker as the right-back, with John Stones and Joe Gomez being the two center-backs. While Gomez does not have a high overall rating, he has the pace to be effective in the EA FC 25 meta. Nick Pope will be the choice as goalkeeper instead of Jordan Pickford due to his tall frame.
