Beginners Guide to EA Sports FC 25 Career Mode
Career Mode in EA Sports FC 25 is full of interesting details. We have outlined all of them so you can take your club to greatness.
9 Make a 'YouTube' team professional

The YouTube scene has never been bigger, both in the United Kingdom and around the world. Football is incorporated into that, with the likes of KSI, Calfreezy and Miniminter all loving the sport. So, if you're a fan of some of the biggest groups in the industry, why not make them a football team?
It would have to be unofficial, unsurprisingly, but turning the Sidemen into a side with a home stadium, kit and badge would be particularly entertaining. You can even modify AI players so they can replicate the celebrities. The only major decision is which YouTube stars you leave out, as there is only space for 25 (or so) in a squad.
8 Relocate a current side
Milton Keynes Dons - Stadium MK, Milton Keynes
"Your love makes me strong, your hate makes me unstoppable," Cristiano Ronaldo once said during an interview. One of the greatest players of all time knows what he's talking about, and becoming the biggest villain in EAFC 25 is bound to be entertaining.
All you need to look at is MK Dons. They were founded in 2004 after they took over Wimbledon's identity and moved them from south London up to Milton Keynes – 50 miles north of London. Since then, they have been known as a 'franchise', despised by most neutral fans, and have become one of the most controversial rebrands ever. You could technically do the same in EAFC 25, but if you enjoy being the pantomime villain, it's the perfect option for you. "No one likes us, we don't care," Millwall also chant; some fans truly love being against the rest of the sport.

9 Strikers With the Highest Potential in EA Sports FC 25
No Premier League players feature as the nine strikers with the highest potential in EA Sports FC 25 have been revealed.
7 Merge two sides together
St James' Park
Going one step further than relocating a side, you could merge two together. If you thought relocation was a controversial topic, the idea of merging is even worse. You would become one of the most controversial figures in your EAFC 25 universe, but it has been done before.
Newcastle were created by the merger of Newcastle West End and Newcastle East End in 1892, whilst – more recently in 2007 – Solihull Moors were created by the merger of Solihull Borough and Moor Green. Forming an identity between two clubs is challenging, but if you gave yourself the players from each team, you could taste success very quickly.
6 Only allowed to sign veterans
Modric
Picture the scene. You start a new club in the Premier League. You're dreaming of dominating the division and adding your name to the competition's winners list, but there's one big twist — you can only sign players who are 35 or older. It's a unique challenge that will test your ability to the highest level.
Some of the best players in the world are veterans – just look at 39-year-old Luka Modric – but the biggest concern will be that you will have stars retiring every single campaign. Even then, you will only be able to replace them with another veteran. You will have to adapt your style of play as well. All of them will lack pace and struggle as the last line of defence.
5 U23s side

On the other end of the scale, you could have a team full of youngsters. They'll be quick, eager and determined to taste glory, but – just as they start to reach their peak – you will be forced to sell. Having to remove a star who is 23 years old or younger is never easy, although you will likely receive a significant transfer fee.
By just looking at the best teenagers in the world, it's clear that you can still use a plethora of talented players. Lamine Yamal springs to mind, whilst the likes of Jude Bellingham, Gavi and Warren Zaire-Emery could all feature. It's definitely easier than the 'veteran challenge', but it might be more painful and an emotional ordeal.

4 A team full of one nation
There are a plethora of sub-options for this challenge. Taking a team full of one nationality is not necessarily going to be easy, as it merges the challenges of international football with the financial world of the club side. The only positive is that they will quickly form connections due to their similarities.
The main thing to consider is which nation? If you manage in England, you could become patriotic and use a team solely of stars who want to pull on the Three Lions shirt. However, you could make it more challenging and choose a smaller nation like Luxembourg, Andorra or Finland. All of them lack world-class stars, so you'll have to be patient and hope the nation's academies eventually produce the next wonderkid.
