Everything you need to know about female players in FC25

Last year, EA introduced female players for the first time ever in the history of the game. This sparked discussion in the FIFA community, with many EAFC players wondering how they would fit into the game. Questions were raised, such as whether they could compete with male players, how effective they would be in-game, and if they were capable of producing high-level performances.

Best Female Players

If you doubted them, you were wrong. Female players on Ultimate Team are actually very good in game, offering a style and dimensions that male players didn't offer before. In my opinion, most of them are more agile than men, which makes them better in attack and at closing down any incoming danger. Some of the best female players that everyone is using are Aitana Bonmati, Caroline Hansen, Alexia Putellas, Sophia Smith, Kadidatou Diani, Patri Guijarro and Lauren James. These players are highly rated in the game and often regarded as equal to or even better than top male players.

For instance, Caroline Hansen has high pace, shooting and dribbling stats, which makes her very difficult to stop. Her 5-star weak foot and 5-star skills stats make her very unpredictable, as she can shoot with both feet and perform skills that make it difficult for defenders to stop her.

Opinion on Female Players

In my opinion, you should invest in female players, especially in the ones suggested earlier. When it comes to physicality, men are undoubtedly stronger in all aspects, so choosing lean female players is the best option. Their agility is what makes them superior to male players, in my opinion.

In my team, my entire attack consists of female players, because they are fast, possess good shooting stats and can easily beat defenders. As mentioned earlier, female players may struggle slightly with physicality. To get the best out of them, focus on maintaining possession, use plenty of running, and make effective use of left-stick dribbling.

Best and Cheap players that you should opt for

If you are struggling to pack good players or make enough coins to build a strong team, I am here to suggest the best cheap female players in ultimate team to build your squad around. In my opinion, the cheapest option for the attack is Sophia Smith. She costs only around 21k at this stage of the game, which is quite cheap considering her abilities in-game. I am still using her in my team because she's an important asset, allowing me to save coins and strengthen other positions. 

Another player who is very good and affordable, this time in midfield is Spanish midfielder Patri Guijarro. Guijarro has the long through ball trait, which is highly effective in-game when utilized well. She is also very agile, capable of breaking down opposition attacks, and help in counter attacking transitions. Other great value players are Sam Kerr, Kadidiatou Diani, Ewa Pajor, Sakina Karchaoui and Crystal Dunn.

Best META players

This year, the in-game meta focuses on long through ball and finesse shots, which some female players execute these to perfection. As mentioned earlier, Patri Guijarro is a meta player with attributes are highly effective in-game. Caroline Hansen is also another player that is considered meta, alongside Aitana Bonmati, Alexia Putellas and Sophia Smith. 

In the defense, giving how the game is shaping up this year, male players tend to perform better due to their strength, physicality, and awareness. For this reason, I currently don’t recommend using female defenders, as they may struggle to match the physicality needed in defensive situations.

Best Suited Position for females

I believe that the best positions for female players are in the attack and midfield. Although in midfield I don't recommend having two female players, I still suggest including a female player to provide the balance and agility needed in the middle of the park. In defense, I don't recommend using female players in defense, because most of them lack physicality, and they will struggle against forwards that have high physicality and strength. In-game, female players often struggle to contain Male attackers, particularly those with high physicality, as EA aim to reflect real life differences in strength and physical attributes.

Conclusion

In the end, I believe everyone has their own style and approach to playing the game. However, as I've already suggested, if your style of play focuses on maintaining possession and utilizing fast paced players, then using female players is the best strategy. My attack is entirely made up female players, so you can easily interpret my preferred style of play.
