Porto vs Man United: Which is the better team in EA FC 25?
EA FC 25 features teams from several leagues, like the Premier League or Liga Portugal. Interestingly, two well-known clubs from these two leagues, Manchester United (or Man United) and FC Porto, recently met in a UEFA Europa League tie that resulted in a 3-3 draw. A definitive conclusion to a real-life comparison might take another match, but we can look at the player ratings to decide which team is better in the game.
In this article, we will take a close look at FC Porto and Man United and try to determine the better team among them in EA FC 25.
FC Porto vs Manchester United in EA FC 25: Which team is better?
To determine the better team between FC Porto and Man United in EA FC 25, we will compare the ratings of some of their top players.
Porto vs Man United: Attackers
Strikers and wingers make up for the attacking prowess of most teams. Porto and Man United's squads don't feature players with their default position on the left or right wing. However, we can compare their strikers.
Fran Navarro and Samu are FC Porto's top strikers per overall ratings. They are rated 76 and 73 Overall with 77 and 73 in Shooting, respectively. On the other hand, Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund are Manchester United's two top strikers in FC 25, featuring 79 and 78 Overall ratings, respectively, and 77 each in Shooting.
United also have Marcus Rashford in their ranks, who is a left midfielder (LM) by default in the game but has striker and left winger (LW) as alternate positions. He is 81 Overall and rated 83 in Shooting. Rashford's 89 Pace is a major asset in the attacking department too. Alejandro Garnacho is another quick player with LM default and LW as an alternate position.
Porto vs Man United: Midfielders
Pepe, Galeno, and Fabio Vieira are some of the top-rated Porto midfielders in EA FC 25. Their Overall, Passing and Dribbling ratings are only decent, except for Pepe who has 85 Dribbling. Nico Gonzalez and Alan Varela are the team's two best-rated Center Defensive Midfielders (CDM), but their attributes in Passing, Defending, and Physical are also decent.
As for Manchester United, Bruno Fernandes is the team's best midfielder with 87 Overall, 88 Passing, 83 Dribbling, and even an 85 in Shooting. Other notable names in this department are Christian Eriksen and Mason Mount. CDMs Casemiro and Ugarte have pretty good Overall as well as Defending and Physical ratings.
Porto vs Man United: Defenders and Goalkeeper
Otavio, Tiago Djalo, and Marcano are three of the best-rated FC Porto Center Backs in EA FC 25. Wendell is the best Left Back with Joao Mario being the best Right Back. These players are, again, decent in their defensive ratings. The wingbacks are quick (Mario has 85 Pace), which is one positive outlook for the Portuguese club.
Man United's Center Backs, Lisandro Martinez, Matthijs De Ligt, and Harry Maguire are good defensively and physically. The team's best-rated Right Back, Diogo Dalot, has 85 Pace and much better ratings in Defending and Physical than his Porto counterpart. Luke Shaw is United's best-rated Left Back and while he isn't very fast, he can provide defensive support with 81 Defending and 79 Physical.
As far as Goalkeepers are concerned, Porto's Diogo Costa and United's Andre Onana are quite comparable. However, the former has a better Overall rating by one point.
Final verdict
Based on the two team's EA FC 25 ratings, Manchester United has higher-rated players in most departments and appears to be better than the two teams in the game.
