Top-Tier CAM Options in FC 25 Ultimate Team

The CAM position demands a special kind of player - someone who can thread the perfect pass, maintain possession under pressure, and contribute goals when needed. After extensive testing across Division Rivals and Champions competitions, certain players have established themselves as the cream of the crop.

Jude Bellingham stands as the undisputed king of CAMs in FC 25. The Real Madrid star's 90-rated card offers the perfect blend of physicality, technical ability, and attacking instinct. His potential to reach a 94 rating makes him even more desirable for those building long-term squads in Career Mode. However, his premium price tag puts him out of reach for many players.

For those seeking high-end alternatives, Jamal Musiala (87) and Florian Wirtz (88) provide exceptional value. Both possess the agility and technical skills needed to excel in the number 10 role, with potential ratings of 93 and 92 respectively.

Budget-Friendly CAM Solutions

Not everyone can afford the premium options, but that doesn't mean you can't find excellent CAM players on a budget:

  1. Arda Güler (78) - Real Madrid's young talent offers incredible value with a potential growth to 90

  2. Xavi Simons (83) - The PSG midfielder brings exceptional dribbling and creative passing

  3. Isco (84) - A veteran option who remains one of the most technically gifted CAM players in the game

Isco deserves special mention as a particularly effective cam build option. While lacking the pace of younger alternatives, his exceptional ball control, vision, and passing make him deadly in the final third. Many top players have found success with Isco in competitive play despite his modest pace stats.

Building the Ideal CAM for Your Playstyle

When selecting your ultimate CAM, consider how they'll fit your preferred tactical approach:

For possession-based play:

  • Prioritize vision, short passing, and ball control

  • Look for the "Technical" PlayStyle+ trait

  • Consider players with high composure ratings

For counter-attacking systems:

  • Speed and acceleration become more important

  • Long passing helps initiate quick transitions

  • The "Incisive Pass" PlayStyle is invaluable

Rising Stars to Watch

Some of the most exciting CAM options in FC 25 are young talents with room to grow. Franco Mastantuono (69) from River Plate and Assan Ouedraogo (69) from RB Leipzig both offer staggering growth potential, with both capable of reaching an 87 overall rating.

For those managing lower-league clubs in Career Mode, Ethan Nwaneri (64) from Arsenal represents perhaps the best value, with a potential growth of +22 points to reach 86 overall.

The Importance of Chemistry and PlayStyles

Chemistry remains crucial in FC 25 Ultimate Team, and finding a CAM who links well with your strikers and wingers can make a significant difference. The new PlayStyles system has also added another layer of consideration, with certain traits proving particularly valuable for the CAM position:

  • Technical: Enhances close control in tight spaces

  • Incisive Pass: Improves the accuracy of through balls

  • Finesse Shot: Valuable for CAMs who get scoring opportunities

  • Press Proven: Helps maintain possession under pressure

The meta in EA Sports FC 25 continues to evolve, but the importance of a quality CAM remains constant. Whether you opt for the established stars like Bellingham or take a chance on developing talents like Güler, investing in this position will pay dividends throughout your FC 25 journey.

As the competitive season progresses into 2025, we'll likely see additional special cards released that could shake up these rankings. However, the fundamental attributes that make a great CAM - vision, passing, agility, and composure - will remain the same regardless of which players receive upgrades.

Finding your ultimate best CAM in EA Sports FC 25 might require some experimentation, but the options highlighted here provide an excellent starting point for any squad.
