The Phil Foden, Bukayo Saka and Cole Palmer debate has been settled on EA Sports FC 25 and there’s one clear winner

EA Sports have had their say on their debate surrounding Phil Foden, Bukayo Saka and Cole Palmer after their FC 25 Ultimate Team cards were leaked.

EA FC 25 is not officially released until September 27 but as is the case every year, leaks for player ratings have emerged online.

There have been some monumental upgrades and significant decreases, driving plenty of conversation amongst gamers.

And the ratings and statistics for three of England’s most talented players have been doing the rounds, though one is clear.

Cole Palmer has been rewarded for his excellent breakthrough campaign at Chelsea, where he scored 25 goals and delivered 15 assists to claimed the PFA Young Player of the Year award.

His overall has gone up a staggering 19 places from a silver 66 to a gold 85, evidence of his incredible rise.

But he is still two overall places below Saka, who hit 20 goals and 13 assists in all competitions for Arsenal and continues to shine for England.

Yet it is PFA Player of the Year winner Foden who has the highest rating of 88 – an increase of three after 27 goals and 12 assists in all competitions as Manchester City won an unprecedented fourth title in a row.

Foden played centrally for large parts of last season but according to leaks, he has shifted from the left wing to the right on the game.

And in addition to his primary rating, Foden also leads the way in a number of metrics.

When it comes to pace, Foden is comfortably ahead of Palmer and beats Saka by one.

His shooting is at an impressive 86, compared to Palmer’s 82 and Saka’s 83 – while the dribbling stat of 90 trumps his fellow left-footers.

With experience playing at left-back, Saka, who has gone up by one overall – won the defending battle – as well as boasting the best physical score.

Foden is expected to be one of the highest-rated players in the Premier League, though teammates Rodri, Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland are set to be ahead of him.
