Barcelona Femeni star Mapi Leon and Liverpool stalwart Virgil van Dijk are the joint-highest rated defenders on EA Sports FC 25.

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.

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.
