The pair have both been handed an 89 rated card and, as a result, they top the list for the highest-rated defenders in this year’s iteration of EA FC.

EA Sports are yet to reveal the full list of player ratings for the 2025 game, but they have announced the 25 highest-rated male and female players, as well as a handful of other ratings from clubs across Europe.

Leon and Van Dijk have both kept their 89 rating from EA FC 24, although Manchester City’s Ruben Dias has suffered a minus one downgrade despite helping Pep Guardiola’s side win the Premier League title.

The Portugal international was 89 rated last year, but he has been handed an 88 rating this time around.

In addition to Dias, Wendie Renard (Lyon), Irene Paredes (Barcelona) and Antonio Rudiger (Real Madrid) have also been given an 88 rating in EA FC 25.

Paris Saint-Germain left-back Sakina Karchaoui is 87 rated, narrowly ahead of Barcelona’s Fridolina Rolfo and Lyon’s Selma Bacha - who are both 86.

The remainder of the top 25 defenders on EA FC 25 are yet to be formally announced, although Trent Alexander-Arnold, Theo Hernandez and Eder Militao are expected to be included.
