FC 25 Season 8 Ladder Players List & How To Unlock Them All
EA FC 25 Season 8 is here, kicking off a wild new round of rewards, Shapeshifters madness, and sneak peeks at the upcoming Women's Euros Path To Glory promo. Whether you're looking to unlock Rafael Leão as a lethal striker or you're aiming to snag Kaka through the Premium Pass, this season offers a stacked list of cards worth grinding for. Let's break down how to unlock all FC 25 Season 8 Ladder Players, the Premium Pass details, and which items are worth your time and buy EAFC 25 Coins.
How Do You Get FC 25 Season 8 Ladder Players?
Season 8 began on Thursday, June 4, and runs for five weeks, giving players a chance to unlock up to 35 levels of rewards. Each level is unlocked by earning 1,000 Seasonal Progress (SP), which can be gained across Ultimate Team, Manager Career, Player Career, and Clubs. You don't have to stick to one mode - any combo of gameplay will help push you through the ladder.
This season focuses heavily on Shapeshifters - with some truly bizarre and brilliant cards (goalkeepers playing striker or central midfield, anyone?) - as well as two Path To Glory teases from the upcoming Women's Euros promo.
What Is the FC 25 Premium Pass?
Back again after its debut in Season 7, the Premium Pass adds a second tier of rewards for each ladder level. You can unlock it by paying:
·1,000 FC Points (~£8.99 / ~$10 USD)
·500,000 in-game coins
If you're grinding through Season 8 daily, the Premium Pass pays off, giving you access to elite players like 97 OVR Kaka, bonus packs, and alternate-position versions of top goalkeepers.
Best FC 25 Season 8 Ladder Players
Two players top the charts this season:
·Rafael Leão (ST, 97 OVR) - Available at Level 35 on the standard ladder. One of the best attackers in the game with pace, physicality, and elite dribbling.
·Kaka (CAM, 97 OVR) - Exclusive to Premium Pass holders, available late in the ladder. A legendary Brazilian icon with top-tier playmaking and flair.
The most fun, however, comes from the Shapeshifter goalkeeper picks:
·Jan Oblak (CB, 96 OVR) - Oblak at centre-back is surprisingly effective due to his reflexes and tackling stats.
·Mike Maignan (CM, 96 OVR) - Offers balance, passing, and high stamina, despite his origins between the posts.
·Gregor Kobel (ST, 96 OVR) - The meme pick, but surprisingly good at making runs and finishing.
At Level 10, you'll need to pick one of these outfield-GK Shapeshifters - so choose wisely!
