EA Sports FC 25Ultimate Team is full of choices to make when assembling your perfect squad. As the reigning European Champions, Spain is in the spotlight with some of the best players on both sides of the ball, from young stars like Lamine Yamal to veterans like Manchester City’s Rodri.
Luckily, if you’re building a team themed after one of the most historically rich footballing nations, then you’re in for a treat with several affordable options available. If you want the best 11 straight out of the gate, then Spain won’t be the best option, with several players in need of upgraded versions to be considered meta-relevant cards.
Heroes and Icons are not included.

Four Stars
Yamal is an excellent stopgap for you to add to your team if you’re missing a left-wing or right-wing, with this Spanish attacker offering his attacking services on both flanks.
Given theright-wing options available to sign in career mode,Lamine Yamal is also a great choice there.
While none of his attributes stand out as particularly high, Yamal’s flexibility in position allows him to be a useful addition to your side, especially if your team still isn’t fully built.
Two Stars
What Grimaldo lacks in two-footedness, he makes up for in his positional flexibility, with the option of playing the Spaniard anywhere up or down the left side:left-wing, left-mid, or left-back.Wherever you choose to deploy him, Grimaldo’s Passing will be the primary quality to emphasize when using him.
Grimaldo doesn’t have the pace to be a particularly effective winger if you want to beat opponents with speed, but his Passing makes him one of the most dangerous options on the left. TheWhipped Cross PlayStyle Plusmakes Grimaldo a great optionif you have a tall striker.
If you’re looking for an affordable option who can still be consideredone of the best defenders in Ultimate Team,then Dani Carvajal is your man. Carvajal boasts a similar set of attributes to Ona Batlle, without any major standout quality that sets him apart.
However, Carvajal’s reliability and overall effectiveness at locking down the right side makes him an excellent choice andone of the best Spanish players in Ultimate Team.
If you’re looking for a meta-relevant midfielder who won’t break the bank, then Patri Guijarro is the perfect choice, with her defensive qualities making her a must-have. Her Dribbling is her standout quality on paper, buther defensive abilitiesare why she’ll stay in your midfield.
The Long Ball Pass PlayStyle Plus makes Guijarro adept at turning her defensive contributions into offense, with 83 Passing to enhance the PlayStyles efficacy. Patri easily secures a spot among the best Spanish players in Ultimate Team, and she’ll only get better with promo releases.
Five Stars
Nico Williams is easilyone of the best wide midfielders in career mode,but his abilities in Ultimate Team are even more useful, as his incredible Pace sets him apart from his peers.
Williams already has an upgrade to 86 from his gold card with more to come.
Unfortunately, Williams' Pace is his primary asset, with 75 Shooting and 78 Passing both being below what you’d like for a winger. However, his impressive Dribbling will make Nico Williams one of the best players for beating the defender in a sprint toward the goal, sohe should create easy chances to finish, despite the lack of Shooting.
The former Balon d’Or winner, Aitana Bonmati, is a fantastic player and easily one of the best Spanish players to add to your side in Ultimate Team.
Even if you don’t typically use women’s players on your side,her Barcelona and Spanish linksshould be enough to help Aitana slot in with full chemistry regardless of the team.
Aitana’s Technical PlayStyle Plus is the perfect complement to her Playmaker role, which requires Aitana to find her teammates through a sea of defenders. Luckily, her 91 Dribbling and 86 Passing make Aitanaone of the best midfielders in FC 25.
Speaking of incredible midfielders, Rodri stands out as the best in the world right now on the men’s side of the game, helping to lead Manchester City to four straight Premier League titles.
While his Pace is a glaring weakness, Rodri’s position doesn’t require him to sprint much.
The fantastic combination of Rodri’s strong links, excellent attributes, solid weak foot, and Tiki Taka PlayStyle Plus sets Rodri apart from other options. If you need a defensive Spanish midfielder for your side, then Rodri is the pinnacle.
Alexia Putellas is the best Spanish player in Ultimate Team due to her incredible combination ofoutstanding Dribbling abilitiesand impressive Passing prowess.
If that wasn’t amazing enough, then take a look at her perfect weak foot and access to every skill move in EA FC 25.
Alexia Putellas gains a slight edge over Bonmati due to her superior Skill Moves along with slightly better Shooting and Passing to claim the crown asthe best Spanish player in FC 25 Ultimate Team.
