The Ultimate Succession promo in EA Sports FC 25 comes on the heels of Black Friday's excellent content patch that featured impressive Thunderstruck cards to collect. While this batch of cards has a lot of hype to follow up on, the best Ultimate Succession players are worth getting excited about.

PostsWhile getting your hands on the top Ultimate Succession cards is incredibly difficult without a massive coin balance or incredible pack luck, these options are worth it. If you were lucky enough to pull one of these cards from a certain player pick, you'll be ecstatic about their performances on the pitch, as some of the top-tier cards are available.
8 Marcus Thuram – Lombardia FC

If you've been enjoying Marcus Thuram's Serie A Player of the Month (POTM) card, then you will love this upgraded version – assuming you can afford the sky-high price. While it's unlikely that his price will remain as high as it is now, prepare to shell out serious coins to buy him on the Transfer Market.
Once you've added this French striker to your starting 11, you can choose to deploy him as either a False Nine or an Advanced Forward thanks to his Role++ in both positions. Thuram's combination of Pace and Physical make him one of the most difficult strikers to defend in EA FC 25.
7 Sandro Tonali – Newcastle
Weak Foot

Four Stars
Three Stars
Sandro Tonali was one of the best Premier League players you could get at the start of EA FC 25, and his Ultimate Succession card brings him back into the spotlight with an impressive set of attributes. While Tonali doesn't specialize in one area on paper, his well-rounded qualities make him an excellent Deep-Lying Playmaker in your midfield.
Unfortunately, you won't be pulling off dazzling Skill Moves with Tonali, but if you stick to his strengths and use him as a defensive stopgap, then you'll notice him as an essential cog in your starting 11.
6 Lamine Yamal – FC Barcelona
Weak Foot

Lamine Yamal continues to improve his profile as one of the best La Liga players, and this Ultimate Succession card is the best version of him thus far. While Yamal's Gold Card and his Team of the Week offered underwhelming performance in-game, this Ultimate Succession version gives Yamal several helpful boosts as well as the Trivela PlayStyle Plus.

5 Alessandro Del Piero – Icon
Weak Foot

Four Stars
Alessandro Del Piero receives a plus one overall from his base Icon card, making him an even deadlier finisher than he already was. His best role is Shadow Striker, which allows Del Piero to occupy space near the 18-yard box, while possessing the passing prowess to set up a teammate if he doesn't' have a clear view of goal.
While Finesse Shot Plus doesn't result in an automatic goal, as it seemed to in FC 24, the PlayStyle still helps to ensure you release your shot quickly and accurately. This gives Del Piero multiple tools in his arsenal to serve as one of the best CAMs in EA FC 25.
4 Lionel Messi – Inter Miami
Weak Foot

Speaking of world-class CAMs, Lionel Messi's Ultimate Succession upgrade elevates him to meta-releavance again, although the lack of easy link options will undoubtedly make it challenging to get him on full chem. However, if you have a blend of Icons, Heroes, or some of the best Argentinian players, it should be fairly easy to get full chemistry.
Messi can function as an Inside Forward role from the RW, or Shadow Striker as a CAM, giving him two options to perform to maximum efficiency in your team.
Playing cards in their ideal Role++ improves their positioning and general efficacy during games.
3 Kaka – Icon
Weak Foot

Kaka keeps the CAM streak going, as this Icon offers many of the best traits that Messi does, but it is even easier to fit into any Ultimate Team starting 11. While Messi's Role++ flexibility surpasses Kaka's limitations in CAM, Messi's linkset can prevent him from performing to his peak if you don't have the tools to achieve full chemistry.

PostsGiven that Kaka boasts all the qualities you could want from a CAM and is extremely easy to slot into any starting 11, he gets a slight edge as one of the best Ultimate Succession Icons.
2 Paolo Maldini – Icon
Weak Foot
Skill Moves
Four Stars
Two Stars
There's not much that needs to be said about Paolo Maldini, as he's frequently regarded as the best defender of all-time in real life and carries the same title in the virtual scene. A four-star weak foot makes Maldini much more consistent at passing out from the back – a rare quality for a CB.
If you are desperate to find a new LB, you can also shift Maldini over to that side, assuming you have top-quality options already at CB that would warrant this legend playing in his less-favored position.
1 Ronaldinho – Icon
Weak Foot
Skill Moves
Four Stars
Five Stars
Much like Maldini, Ronaldinho's reputation precedes him, and a single glance at his attributes leaves no doubt about the level of performance you're about to see.
Of course, attributes aren't the only factor, as Roles and PlayStyles heavily impact how a card performs on the pitch.
With the option to use Ronaldinho as a Wide Playmaker at LW or a Playmaker at CAM, his qualities can shine at whichever position you have fewer options for. Trickster+ is a fun addition to this superstar, as his other base PlayStyles like Finesse Shot and Technical elevate his card to incredible heights.
