Lamine Yamal, the latest gem from Barcelona's famed La Masia academy, is already making waves ahead of his official EA FC 25 Ultimate Team debut. Leaked reports by Twitter user Reshad Rahman suggest that Yamal will be receiving an 81-rated card, which is a remarkable feat for a player making his first appearance in the game.
This rating sets him apart from many of his peers, as most young players typically receive a card rating below 80. Even Barcelona's current stars, Pedri and Gavi, started their Ultimate Team journeys with 70-rated common silver cards.

- Pace: 82

- Physical: 48
These stats show that Yamal will be agile and pacey on the ball and will easily pass defenders. Both his Pace and Dribbling have been rated at 82; this will let him dart past people easily.
Although he has passable shooting and passing ratings, these stats show that Yamal will turn more toward a playmaker and a dribbler than a clinical finisher.
His low ratings in both defense and physicality show he won't be good at defensive duels in any kind of situation. Players will need to focus on using the player's speed and technical skills to keep clear of physical confrontations.
