If you're wondering who the best centre-forward in EA FC 25 is, it's worth noting that the CF position seems to have been removed from the game altogether.
The new FC IQ tactics system, and player roles, should allow you to instruct players to behave like a centre-forward if that's what you want.
EA Sports FC 25 is scheduled to launch on 27th September 2024 across PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and Microsoft Windows.
