FM25 is just around the corner, meaning FM24 has been out for a year already—and a year is forever in the world of football. Which players’ real-life performances have underperformed compared to their Football Manager counterparts and demand a 🔻 downgrade? Here’s a look at the Premier League players who we think deserve a reduction in Football Manager 25.
🏴 Kalvin Phillips
Ipswich | DM, M C | Ball-Winning Midfielder
Phillips has struggled to maintain the form that once made him a key player for Leeds. A dip in performance suggests his CA should be adjusted to reflect his current role at Ipswich.
CA: 149 → Suggested: 140-145
🇫🇷 Boubakary Soumaré
Leicester | DM, M C | Deep-Lying Playmaker
Soumaré’s performances have been inconsistent, and his influence in midfield has waned. A lower CA would better reflect his current contributions at
Leicester.
CA: 136 → Suggested: 125-130
🇸🇪 Dejan Kulusevski
Tottenham Hotspur | M R, AM RC | Inverted Winger
While Kulusevski has shown flashes of brilliance, his inconsistency this season justifies a slight reduction in CA to reflect his fluctuating impact at Spurs.
CA: 160 → Suggested: 150-155
🏴 Marcus Rashford
Man Utd | AM L, ST | Inside Forward
Rashford’s form has been less prolific this season, and a slight adjustment in his CA would more accurately represent his current performances at Manchester United.
CA: 160 → Suggested: 150-155
🇪🇸 Marc Cucurella
Chelsea | D LC, WB/M L | Wing-Back
Cucurella has struggled for consistency since joining Chelsea. His performances suggest a lower CA to match his current contributions in the squad.
CA: 145 → Suggested: 135-140
🏴 Jack Grealish
Man City | M RL, AM RLC | Inverted Winger
Grealish has had some standout moments, but his overall influence has dipped compared to past seasons. A slight CA decrease would reflect his current form at City.
CA: 164 → Suggested: 155-160
🇲🇱 Yves Bissouma
Tottenham Hotspur | DM, M C | Ball-Winning Midfielder
Bissouma’s form has been inconsistent, and his current CA feels too high given his recent contributions. A slight reduction would better reflect his role at Spurs.
CA: 157 → Suggested: 145-150
🏴 Raheem Sterling
Arsenal | M/AM RL | Inverted Winger
Sterling hasn’t consistently delivered at the level he once did. His CA should be adjusted to reflect a decline in form since moving to Arsenal.
CA: 161 → Suggested: 150-155
🏴 Ben Chilwell
Chelsea | D/WB L | Full-Back
Chilwell’s form has been up and down, and his injury issues have limited his impact. A lower CA would better reflect his current standing at Chelsea.
CA: 155 → Suggested: 145-150
🇧🇷 Casemiro
Man Utd | DM, M C | Ball-Winning Midfielder
Casemiro’s influence in the midfield has waned, and his performances have not been up to his usual standards. A CA reduction would better represent his current form at United.
CA: 157 → Suggested: 145-150
