EA FC 25’s Rush mode is an incredible way to play 5-a-side football with your mates online. It’s so good that we thought we’d ask some footballers at the launch of the game for their opinions on the best players to use when taking to the smaller pitch.

We interviewed Gareth Bale, who this year appears as an Icon in FC 25 as well as Brighton’s Evan Ferguson, retired Lioness and now in-game commentator Sue Smith, and a brand-new Hero card in this year’s game, Fara Williams.

John-Anthony is most known for his tech journalism with words found in outlets such as iMore and TechRadar. He’s also a massive football fan who spends his time in perpetual hope of Scotland one day getting out of the group stage. Luckily he’s also half Italian so gets to enjoy some good old-fashioned Catenaccio whenever Scotland miss the mark.

John-Anthony is a huge fan of football video games and has been playing ever since the late 90s. Whether it’s playing retro games like Pro Evolution Soccer or FIFA Street to Ultimate Team in EA FC, he’s always got a controller in his hands.
