Leaked 97-Rated Rodri Card: A Defensive Powerhouse
Today, FutScoreboard leaked Rodri’s 97-rated Ballon d’Or card on Twitter, revealing exceptional stats that could make him one of the most desirable defensive midfielders in FC 25.

- 88 Pace: A strong pace boost, making Rodri faster in closing down opponents and moving up the pitch.
- 88 Shooting: Surprisingly high for a defensive midfielder, this stat allows Rodri to make significant contributions to attacking play.
- 90 Passing: With this passing stat, Rodri becomes an excellent distributor, capable of precise and effective ball movement.
- 88 Dribbling: Enhanced dribbling makes him more agile, allowing him to evade pressure and retain possession.
- 97 Defending: A standout stat that solidifies Rodri as a defensive fortress, ideal for breaking up opposition plays and providing protection to the backline.

With this combination of stats, Rodri’s card is a game-changer in FC 25, excelling in both defensive and playmaking duties, making him a must-have for competitive players.
97-Rated Aitana Bonmatí: A Complete Midfielder with Elite Dribbling
As the Ballon d’Or Féminin winner, Aitana Bonmatí’s 97-rated card offers impressive stats that make her an all-rounder in the midfield. Leaked details of Bonmatí’s card show an exciting blend of pace, dribbling, and playmaking abilities, reflecting her crucial role in Barcelona’s midfield:
- 90 Pace: This allows Bonmatí to cover ground quickly, making her a dynamic presence both offensively and defensively.
- 92 Shooting: Her upgraded shooting gives her the ability to score from a variety of positions, adding an attacking edge.
- 92 Passing: With top-tier passing stats, Bonmatí can orchestrate play and distribute the ball effectively to her teammates.
- 97 Dribbling: A phenomenal dribbling stat, enabling her to navigate through tight spaces, keep control under pressure, and create scoring opportunities.
- 82 Defending: While not a primary defensive stat, her defending abilities still allow her to make key interceptions and contribute to the team’s defensive efforts.
- 82 Physical: Solid physical stats give her the resilience to handle challenges and maintain possession in intense situations.
Bonmatí’s card is perfect for players seeking a balanced midfielder who can excel in both playmaking and goal-scoring. With high dribbling and passing, she’s ideal for fans of possession-based gameplay.
Ballon d’Or Nominees Receiving Upgraded Cards
In addition to the primary Ballon d’Or winners, several nominees will receive upgrades as part of the promotion, though these will be less substantial compared to the 97-rated cards of Rodri and Bonmatí. These boosted cards will still feature strong stats, celebrating the best performers in world football and providing Ultimate Team players with more options to build elite squads. One of them will be the 17-year-old Barcelona star Lamine Yamal, who’s 95 rated card has just been leaked.
How the Ballon d’Or Cards Will Elevate Your FC 25 Squad
The 97-rated cards for Rodri and Bonmatí offer two diverse yet equally valuable options for any FC 25 squad:
