• Conclusion – Who Else Deserves a La Liga TOTS Card?

The 2024/25 La Liga season has delivered one of the most exciting campaigns in recent memory. From last-minute goals to tactical masterclasses, Spanish football has returned to the very top of European relevance. As Barcelona and Real Madrid continue to clash for the title with just weeks remaining, the stage is now being set for one of the most anticipated promos in EA Sports FC Ultimate Team: Team of the Season (TOTS).

Each year, EA Sports selects the most impactful and consistent performers from each league, giving them powerful blue-themed upgrades. The La Liga TOTS squad is no different—packed with generational talents, breakout youngsters, and world-class icons. While some names are already penciled in, we’re going a step further and predicting the entire starting XI and the substitutes bench for the FC 25 La Liga TOTS promo. Here’s our take on who deserves a card and why.

GK: Jan Oblak (Atletico Madrid) – 95 OVR

Still one of the best goalkeepers in the world, Jan Oblak has been the backbone of Atletico Madrid’s defense this season. Despite the team not sitting top of the table, Oblak’s individual performances have stood out massively. With 12 clean sheets as of the March international break, he's currently leading the Golden Glove race in La Liga. His shot-stopping, leadership, and consistency at age 32 are proof that he remains at the pinnacle of European goalkeeping.

EA tends to reward long-standing consistency, and Oblak has been a TOTS regular for years. Expect a highly rated, meta card that rivals the best keepers in FC 25 Ultimate Team.

RB: Jules Kounde (Barcelona) – 93 OVR

Kounde might not have had his flashiest season statistically, but his impact for Barcelona is undeniable. As part of a solid back four, Kounde’s athleticism, recovery pace, and ability to play both centrally and wide make him a valuable asset for Xavi’s side. He’s helped Barca maintain a top-tier defensive record despite injuries and inconsistency in midfield.

In Ultimate Team, Kounde’s potential TOTS card would be a defensive dream—fast, strong, and extremely agile. Players will definitely slot him into their Weekend League squads.

CB: Antonio Rudiger (Real Madrid) – 94 OVR

Antonio Rudiger has arguably been Real Madrid’s most reliable defender throughout the campaign. With Eder Militao sidelined and Alaba injured, Rudiger took on the leadership role and commanded the backline with authority. He’s physical, quick, and aggressive—traits that naturally make him a top-tier pick in FC 25.

Whether it's blocking shots or marking top strikers out of the game, Rudiger has done it all. A TOTS card would reflect his incredible stamina and strength stats, making him a top 3 CB in the game.

CB: Pau Cubarsi (Barcelona) – 93 OVR

One of the breakout stars of the season, Pau Cubarsi has exploded onto the scene at just 18 years old. Despite his age, his maturity and positioning are beyond his years. He's become a first-choice starter for Barcelona in a title-contending campaign and could be a lock for La Liga TOTS.

EA Sports loves including young talents, especially ones who rise so rapidly. Cubarsi’s inclusion could also lead to a Future Stars or Evolutions storyline later in the year, but for now, expect a dynamic TOTS version of the teenage wonder.

LB: Alejandro Balde (Barcelona) – 92 OVR

Though injuries and rotations have affected his season slightly, Alejandro Balde still stands out as one of La Liga’s most explosive full-backs. His pace, crossing ability, and positional awareness have helped Barcelona compete on all fronts. Balde has also improved defensively, becoming a more complete left-back this year.

A TOTS version of Balde would be a blisteringly fast defender with solid dribbling and stamina—perfect for up and down the wing in Ultimate Team.

CM: Federico Valverde (Real Madrid) – 94 OVR

Federico Valverde continues to evolve into one of the most complete midfielders in the world. His ability to carry the ball, strike from distance, and defend with tenacity has made him Carlo Ancelotti’s most trusted midfielder in big games. While his raw stats might not scream "TOTS," his overall presence and tactical versatility absolutely do.

In EA FC 25, Valverde’s TOTS card would be a box-to-box beast—think high 90s pace, stamina, and tackling with a cannon of a long shot. Expect him to be one of the most popular midfielders in the game.

CM: Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid) – 96 OVR

Even though his goal output slightly dipped compared to last year, Jude Bellingham remains Real Madrid’s heartbeat. With 13 goal contributions in just 22 La Liga appearances, the Englishman still shows up when it matters. His late runs into the box, composure, and on-pitch intelligence make him one of the top midfielders in the world.

EA Sports will almost certainly hand Bellingham a premium TOTS card, one that’s well-rounded with elite stats in shooting, dribbling, and passing. Think Hullet Gang territory.

CAM: Pedri (Barcelona) – 95 OVR

Now back to full fitness, Pedri has quietly been putting together a fantastic campaign. The 22-year-old has re-established himself as Barcelona’s creative maestro, linking midfield and attack seamlessly. His ability to retain possession, pick out passes, and control the tempo of games has been critical to Barcelona’s title push.

A TOTS card for Pedri would reflect his immaculate dribbling, high vision, and ability to play as a central CAM or deeper playmaker. For fans of tiki-taka style play, this card will be elite.

RW: Lamine Yamal (Barcelona) – 97 OVR

At only 17 years old, Lamine Yamal is already one of the most exciting wingers in world football. With 6 goals and 11 assists in just 24 league matches, his numbers are impressive but his influence is even greater. He’s fearless on the ball, often beating defenders twice his age with ease.

Expect EA to give him a massively boosted TOTS card, with high pace, dribbling, and flair. Yamal will likely become one of the most in-demand wide players in Ultimate Team.

ST: Kylian Mbappe (Real Madrid) – 97 OVR

Mbappe’s first full season in Spain has been just as explosive as expected. With 20 goals in La Liga, he’s leading the race for the Golden Boot and has added a new dynamic to Real Madrid’s attack. While sharing the spotlight with Bellingham and Vinicius, Mbappe still looks like the undisputed superstar.

If he’s included in the TOTS, it’s game over. A 97-rated Mbappe would be one of the most meta cards in the game, offering blistering pace, elite finishing, and 5-star skills.

LW: Raphinha (Barcelona) – 95 OVR

Raphinha has been in sensational form for Barcelona this season. With 13 goals and 8 assists, he’s finally living up to the hype that followed his move from Leeds United. Whether it’s cutting in from the right or linking up with Lewandowski and Yamal, Raphinha has been instrumental in Barca’s attacking success.

His TOTS card will be a winger’s dream 5-star skills, rapid pace, and deadly shooting from distance. Expect him to be a favorite for La Liga-themed squads.

Thibaut Courtois (Real Madrid) – 94 OVR

Despite missing most of the season due to injury, Courtois returned in time to impress across the latter half of the campaign. When fit, he remains one of the best in the business.

Dani Vivian (Athletic Bilbao) – 91 OVR

The rock in Bilbao’s backline. Vivian has helped his team chase European qualification and has been among the best CBs outside the top three.

Oscar Mingueza (Celta Vigo) – 91 OVR

Mingueza has quietly become a key performer for Celta. His tackling and progressive passing make him a candidate for a TOTS Moments or honorable mention.

Marcos Llorente (Atletico Madrid) – 93 OVR

Mr. Versatility, Llorente can play RB, RM, or CM, and he’s been effective in every role this season. His pace and work rate guarantee a quality TOTS card.

Martin Zubimendi (Real Sociedad) – 92 OVR

One of Spain’s most consistent CDMs, Zubimendi is poised for a big transfer soon. His form for Sociedad has been pivotal, and a TOTS card feels inevitable.

Oihan Sancet (Athletic Bilbao) – 92 OVR

Sancet continues to develop as a goal-scoring midfielder. With 8 goals and 5 assists, he’s one of the league’s breakout stars this season.

Rodrygo (Real Madrid) – 93 OVR

Rodrygo remains a dangerous dribbler and goal threat for Madrid. Though overshadowed by Mbappe and Vini, his stats still justify a TOTS selection.

Nico Williams (Athletic Bilbao) – 93 OVR

An electric winger, Nico Williams has been unstoppable at times this season. His flair and chance creation have caught the eye across Europe

Vinicius Jr (Real Madrid) – 97 OVR

Despite missing out on the starting XI, Vinicius Jr has still had an elite season. With 10 goals and numerous highlight moments, he’s a lock for the TOTS bench. Expect a top-tier winger card with electric pace and silky dribbling.

Robert Lewandowski (Barcelona) – 95 OVR

Lewandowski is La Liga’s top scorer with 22 goals. While Mbappe is the headline striker, Lewa’s consistency earns him a super-sub role.

Antoine Griezmann (Atletico Madrid) – 94 OVR

Another excellent season for the Frenchman, who continues to be the heart and soul of Atletico’s attack.

Julian Alvarez (Atletico Madrid) – 94 OVR

In his first La Liga campaign since leaving Manchester City, Alvarez has already posted double-digit goals and assists. A TOTS lock.
