The most fun teams to manage and lead to glory in EA Sports FC 25 Career Mode.
Managing a Team is a significant and very fun part of almost any sports game, and EA Sports FC 25 is no different. Like previous titles in the series, FC 25 lets you pick between playing as a Player or a Manager of a club.
As a manager, you’ll be able to manage some of the best men’s and women’s teams from a multitude of leagues, with an existing or an all-new club. As the manager you’ll have to control your Club’s squad, academy, scouting and finances to ensure continued success.
Not all Clubs are equal, and while some are already built for dominance and have all the tools to succeed, other clubs are more challenging to manage and will require smart and patient rebuilding.
So, whether you want to continue the dominance of an already established club or take a small club to new heights and glory, this article will help you pick a team that will be fun to manage.
Keep in mind that this is not a list of the best teams in the game, but teams that will provide an enjoyable manager experience no matter what kind of adventure you’re looking for.
Real Madrid
Real Madrid is an obvious choice and for good reason. The Merengues have been a great team to manage for years simply because of the transfer budget they have as well as a star-studded roster. However, they are especially great this year because of how young their squad is.
Madrid this year has an exceptionally young squad while maintaining depth and star power.
Mbappe is 25, Vini Jr is 24, Bellingham is 21, Rodrygo is 23, Tchouaméni is 24, Camavinga is 21, Valverde is 26, etc.
Not only are they young, but they also have high Overalls already ranging from 90 to 83.
Furthermore, Madrid also has veterans with high Overall in Modric, Rudiger, Carvajal, and not mention one of the best Goalkeepers in the game in Courtois.
Real Madrid also has a whopping transfer budget of £104,883,152.
But what sets Madrid apart from previous years are the wonderkids they have.
Endrick and Arda Guler, 18 and 19 respectively, both have 90 Potential, and also have a high enough overall to immediately make an impact.
Barcelona
It’s no secret that Barcelona is in dire financial straits. But what they lack in cash they make up for in potential.
Here’s just some of the young stars Barcelona has:
- Pedri, a 21 year old CM with an 86 Overall, and 90 Potential.
- Gavi, a 20 year old CM with an 83 Overall, and 90 Potential.
- Balde, a 20 year old LB with an 81 Overall, and 89 Potential.
And of course, Lamine Yamal, an 18 year old winger, with an 81 Overall, and 94 Potential, the most valuable wonderkid in the game.
Thus, you’ll have extremely young players who can make an immediate impact and also develop into some of the best players in the world.
Furthermore, you’ll also have reliable and valuable players in Lewandowski, Frenkie De Jong, Ter Stegen, Kounde, Araujo, etc.
Barcelona also has a good transfer budget of £70,507,968, though you’ll have to manage it carefully.
So, if you’re interested in bringing a team back to its former glory, and of course face off against a dominant and historic rival in Real Madrid, Barcelona is a great choice.
Chelsea
Let’s be honest, it’s kind of easy to dominate La Liga as Real Madrid or Barcelona, but how about taking on the challenge of the Premier League.
If you’re looking to lead a team to their first League trophy in years, look no further than Chelsea.
While Chelsea has some good young players, chief among them Cole Palmer, their true strength lies in their transfer budget, a whopping £143,541,152. Only one English side has a higher transfer budget, that being Manchester City.
This budget will allow you to build or rebuild Chelsea to your heart’s desire.
You can sell some players to make up the difference with City, sign new stars or supplement the ones already there, etc.
Overall, Chelsea will prove to be one of the most fun clubs to manage, in-game that is.
Ipswich Town
We’ve looked at League favorites, Champions League Favorites, and teams with high budgets. And now let’s look at a team that’s none of these things.
Ipswich Town are newcomers to the Premier League and has a transfer budget of £3.39 million.
However, they do have some talented players like Omari Hutchinson, a winger, and Jacob Greaves, a center-back.
So, if you want to experience the fight to avoid relegation, give Ipswitch Town a go. Who knows, you might win a League title or two, and maybe even a Champions League.
Bromley FC
It’s easy to manage a team already in the Prem. How about actually getting to it first, not through just one promotion, but three.
If you want to take on this extremely difficult but rewarding challenge, look no further than Bromley FC.
We’ve talked about how Ipswich Town is a newcomer to the Premier League, but how about a newcomer to FIFA/FC itself. FC 25 is Bromley’s first appearance in the series after being promoted to League Two.
Make use of their transfer budget of £1.04 million, and earn a place in League One, Championship, and finally the Premier League, and even European competition, all while trying to avoid relegation.
