EA FC 25 boasts a huge catalog of footballers, with its official ratings website stating the number to be over a whopping 17,000. These virtual players can be accessed in various modes, among which, one of the most popular is Ultimate Team. This mode allows users to acquire player cards, of active as well as retired players, and compete with a fantasy team.

However, there are some players from both categories who do not have an Ultimate Team card in this year's EA FC installment. So, in this article, we will take a look at them.

Note: Some aspects of this article are speculative.

The exact reason for their absence from Ultimate Team (meaning they don't have a card) is unknown, but we can speculate on licensing problems or late transfers being responsible.

That said, it should be noted that while these players are absent from Ultimate Team, some of them are available in other modes like EA FC 25 Career Mode and Kick Off. For instance, Mats Hummels is available in Career Mode and plays for Roma in Serie A.

Colombia's James Rodriguez is also available in Career Mode with an Overall rating of 81 under which his best attributes are Shooting, Dribbling, and Passing. He is 29 years old, so you can consider getting him as he should be able to serve your club for a few seasons at a good level.

France's Adrien Rabiot is another player with pretty decent ratings in the game. He was initially a Free Agent in Career Mode - which is likely why he is without an Ultimate Team card - but has now been added to Olympique Marseille's squad. Similarly, Memphis Depay and Joselu also seem to have missed out on their cards due to being Free Agents in EA FC 25.

Apart from these players, veteran Polish Goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny also does not have a card in Ultimate Team, likely because he had announced his retirement from football not too long ago. However, readers should note that Szczesny has come out of retirement and joined FC Barcelona in the absence of the club's usual first-choice Goalkeeper, Marc-Andre Ter Stegen, who got injured pretty recently, as of this writing, in a La Liga fixture against Villarreal.
