In June, Lamine Yamal joined EA Sports 24 – despite being only 16 years old at the time.

Even before the 2024 European Championship, Lamine Yamal was one of the most talented young football players in the world. During the tournament in Germany, however, the 17-year-old from FC Barcelona finally stepped into the spotlight, scoring a goal, providing four assists and winning the title with his team.

And apparently, based on these performances, the young footballer expected that he would also be able to achieve this on the rating of his virtual alter ego in the new EA Sports FC 25.

But when the official ratings were recently published, Yamal couldn't believe his eyes. The total score was 81, which he thought was far too low.

Yamal would improve two values ​​in particular

He expressed his anger on the Spanish television show El Hormiguero, where he was also asked about virtual football games. Yamal said:

“[…] This year I'm already playing FIFA, but they gave me a bad card, only an 81. I would increase my speed – and my dribbling.

For reference: The speed and dribbling values ​​in EA Sports FC 25 are 82 for the kicker. In the overall ranking, Yamal is well behind other young European professionals such as Nico Williams (Athletic Bilbao, value: 85) or Jamal Musiala (FC Bayern Munich, value: 87).

EA Sports made an exception for Kicker

What the player didn't mention: The 81 rating is already a decent improvement. In June he was first integrated into EA Sports FC 24, at that time with a 76 rating. At the time, EA Sports even suspended its own rule for him, which stipulated that professionals should only be brought into the game after their 17th birthday – Yamal was only 16 years old at the time (above: kicker.de).

There is still room for improvement. And given the young age of the player, it is to be expected that his rating will increase significantly in the coming years. And he notices: Lionel Messi – who many now consider to be the best football player in the world or even of all time – also started his virtual FIFA career many years ago with a rating of 78.

EA Sports FC 25 will be released on September 27th for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, Switch and PC. Those who pre-order can start a whole week earlier – on September 20th.
