Birmingham City EA FC 25 ratings confirmed: £15m arrival given big upgrade along with 13 others

Birmingham City will feature on FC 25, the latest edition of the popular EA Sports franchise.

The game releases to the footballing public at the end of the month, and one of the talking points each September is the ratings that players are given. The transfer window shuts, and the squads are updated, and then come the release of the game, supporters argue who should be higher and lower, whilst players also deliver their verdict on how they're rated.

A popular game mode on FC 25 is Ultimate Team, which is effectively a trading card game, where gamers play matches to earn rewards such as coins, and packs. Real life money can be used to try and get an edge on opponents too, and some have forged a career out of playing FC 25, either as an eSports player, or as a YouTube personality.

Birmingham being in League One, means that most of their players will be silver, and so in all honesty, their players won't be used much, unless it's for a specific challenge. Nevertheless, it's always interesting to see the ratings of players, and these will stick with them now until the January transfer window.

Player ratings are usually collated by an expert, who will regularly watch Birmingham, and present their findings to the Canadian game manufacturer. A player who performs well usually should have their rating decreased, but there are factors at play, such as if a player is playing at a lower level which is the case for a few players who were relegated, or someone who has made a transfer.

Jay Stansfield was by far Birmingham City’s best player last season, and his 12 goals and two assists last season, have seen him earn an increase of five, which is the most of any player. Marc Leonard, who had a decent season with Northampton Town, shares the same rating as Stansfield, with the pair both rated at 69.

No Birmingham City player has had any major rating decrease, but Paik Seung-Ho has gone down by one, as has Dion Sanderson, Ethan Laird, Lukas Jutkiewicz, Scott Wright, and Lyndon Dykes.
