Six Premier League players are represented in EA FC 25's Men's Team of the Year, including breakout Chelsea star Cole Palmer and Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez.
In what is one of the most highly-anticipated releases in the EA FC franchise each and every year, Palmer and Martinez join William Saliba, Virgil van Dijk, Rodri and Mohamed Salah, who are all recognised for their brilliant individual contributions to Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool respectively.
Champions League winners Real Madrid unsurprisingly have four players in the XI, including Best FIFA Men's Player Vinicius Junior, Kylian Mbappe, Dani Carvajal and Jude Bellingham, whose debut season in the Spanish capital included a huge impact in El Clasico.
Bayer Leverkusen's Alex Grimaldo gets the nod at left-back, rewarding the Spaniard for an incredible year that saw the Bundesliga side go the entire 2023/24 league season unbeaten.
One notable absentee is Barcelona wonder boy Lamine Yamal, though the fierce competition for forward places makes his absence a splash more palatable.

The women's team of the year includes Chelsea trio Lucy Bronze, Guro Reiten and Lauren James, while there's also space for four Barcelona players.
The winners of the last four Ballons d'Or Feminin - picking up two each - Alexia Putellas and Aitana Bonmati are recognised for their contributions to Barca's Liga F and Women's Champions League success, with nods also given to Caroline Graham Hansen and central defender Irene Paredes.
Olympique Lyonnais icon Wendie Renard lines up in central defence, with Sakina Karchaoui the XI's left-back. Breakout USWNT forward Sophia Smith and former Chelsea goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger, now at Gotham FC, complete the lineup.
