These are the best players in EA FC 25 for the Welcome to Rush event

1) Pedro Neto (Overall: 79)

The Portuguese forward for Chelsea is the perfect candidate for the new Rush game mode added to EA FC 25. Not only does he have the pace, passing, and shooting stats required to excel in the Welcome to Rush event but he also has sublime dribbling skills that will allow him to maneuver effectively on the smaller pitch.

Neto is also readily available in packs. Most gamers probably already have him as a first-owner item in their Ultimate Team clubs, and he will serve as the best attacking option for this mode.


2) Rasmus Hojlund (Overall: 78)

While Neto is more of a creative attacker capable of dribbling in tight spaces, Rasmus Hojlund is a different beast altogether. The youngster from Manchester United will serve as the ideal target man for your squad in Rush. His pace, shooting, and physicality will make him a force to be reckoned with in EA FC 25, especially on the smaller pitch in the Welcome to Rush event.

Hojlund's low passing stats are his only downsides, but with the playing area being much smaller, gamers need not worry about long-range passing plays. They can coast to victory using the Danish attackers pace and strength alone.


3) Lewis Ferguson (Overall: 79)

Every squad requires balance, and Lewis Ferguson is the perfect box-to-box midfielder for the meta in EA FC 25. The gameplay in this mode is direct and attacking, so having pure defensive players can prove to be a hindrance. This makes players like Ferguson ideal for defensive roles, as he has 70+ in all base stats, making him the perfect option for the Welcome to Rush event.

The most ideal way to use this player will be to stay back to prevent counterattacks, while also using his passing stats to create chances. His shooting stats aren't bad either, allowing gamers to take a long-range shot when needed.


4) Djibril Sow (Overall: 78)

This is a more defensive alternative to players like Lewis Ferguson. While Sow's shooting stats are not ideal, he is much more physical and better at defending overall. He also has the dribbling and passing stats required to escape tricky situations when being pressed by the opposition, and his pace allows him to catch up to any attacker.

The low rating allowance in the EA FC 25 Welcome to Rush mode narrows the available pool of players down considerably. Djibril Sow is undoubtedly one of the best defensive options in such a scenario.


5) Matheus Cunha (Overall: 79)

Cunha is similar to Pedro Neto in terms of his attacking capabilities. While he is not as quick as the Portuguese winger, his shooting, passing, and physical attributes are superior. His stats allow him to serve as the ideal middle ground between attackers like Pedro Neto and Rasmus Hojlund.

The Brazilian attacker is eligible for several Evolutions in Ultimate Team and is generally regarded as an overpowered player in the game's current meta. This showcases how he will be amongst the best choices for the Welcome to Rush event in EA FC 25.
