Recommended Videos

The current mode takes the overall cap to 91, which was earlier set at 88. Moreover, there are no other restrictions, allowing you to freely pick any card you like. That said, there are always some cards at every rating which will perform better than the rest. Not only do they gel well on the meta, but the shorter format of the Rush mode allows these cards to have a competitive advantage.

Disclaimer: Heroes and Base Heroes have been excluded as it’s very hard to pack them (unless you do extremely well in Champions Finals).

If you’ve packed some of the top-tier cards this year, you can now use them to play in Rush. However, it also means that your choices will revolve around the cards that you’ve packed. Buying most of these items will be pretty coin-intensive, especially since prices of higher-rated base Gold cards have increased.

PlayerOverallReason to use
Erling Haaland91Pretty much one of the two best Gold strikers you can use inside the game. His physicals also mean that he can help you out in the defense as well.
Kylian Mbappe91The Frenchman is broken in yet another FC title. If you’ve managed to pack him, your opponents are in for a lot of trouble.
Aitana Bonmati91Bonmati can be the perfect cog in the midfield, and her Technical+ can work well within the limited spaces of the smaller pitch
Rodri91Rodri lacks pace, but he has Tiki Taka+. He can be the perfect choice if you want to stay at back and look after the defense.
Vinicius Jr. 90Similar to Mbappe and equally broken, Vinicius excels on the offensive areas of the pitch.
Jude Bellingham90The Gold version of this card is lot more affordable now, and he can completely boss the midfield to win easy games.
Virgil Van Dijk89Thanks to his in-game animations, VVD feels lot more pacy than his base stats, and he’s arguably the best Gold defender in the game.
Kai Havertz89The new RTTK version of Havertz is a great all-rounded item to use in Road to the Knockouts Rush.
Caroline Hansen90She’s arguably one of the best passers inside the game, she’s also great to ping the aerial crosses.
Mohamed Salah89The Egyptian wizard has one of the best dribbling animations, and that can have certain advantages in Rush.

While the cards mentioned here are among the best items you can use in Road to the Knockouts Rush mode in EA FC 25, there’s no need to spend your coins. Additionally, pay attention to the bonus objective goals, as they will help you get more points and finish the weekly objectives more quickly.
