EA Sports FC 26 puts the entire EFL in your hands, and League Two benefits from the series’ sharper animations and smarter AI.
The third instalment of EA’s rebranded football title arrives on 26 September 2025, bringing licensed squads, fresh dribbling tech, and more authentic stamina models that reward good structure over button mashing.
League Two’s Top Cards to Build Around
Marvin Ekpiteta, MK Dons, 68 OVR
Marvin Ekpiteta offers old-school security at centre-back with enough physical presence to dominate most fourth-tier forwards. An 83 strength rating and 76 physicality make him a bully in contact, while 68 defending covers the core tackles and interceptions.
Pace at 59 is workable if you keep your defensive line compact, and his lengthy acceleration suits a sit-deep shape that invites crosses he can clear. Add a Sentinel or Anchor style in Ultimate Team to lean into his best traits.
Aaron Collins, MK Dons, 68 OVR
Aaron Collins is the creative finisher who ties a forward line together. Pace at 80 and dribbling at 69 let him carry the ball through traffic, but it is the five-star weak foot that makes him lethal from either side.
With 67 shooting and 64 passing he thrives as a second striker or a false nine, dropping in to link play then arriving late in the box. High stamina at 89 supports a relentless press in Career Mode, which suits League Two’s intensity.
Michael Rose, Salford City, 68 OVR
Michael Rose brings balance, combining a tidy passing range with useful recovery speed. His 70 pace is a real asset at this level, especially next to a more physical partner, and 68 defending with 73 physicality keeps him reliable in duels.
Short and long passing both sit in the mid-sixties, which helps you step out and hit diagonals to turn teams. Use him on the cover role, and you can push a full-back higher without losing security.
Callum Paterson, MK Dons, 68 OVR
Callum Paterson is the plug-and-play utility card every lower-league squad needs. Registered as a striker, he can also operate wide or at right-back, and his 82 physicality with 86 aggression sets the tone in aerials and second balls.
Shooting at 66 and passing at 64 are solid for a target forward, while 61 pace is manageable if you keep runners around him. He is perfect for late-game chaos, long throws into the area, and set-piece scrambles.
Pelly-Ruddock Mpanzu, Cambridge United, 68 OVR
Pelly-Ruddock Mpanzu is a box-to-box engine who holds a League Two midfield together. With 77 pace and 81 physicality, plus 67 defending, he covers ground, screens passing lanes, and then drives play forward. Passing at 66 and shooting at 63 give him enough end product to keep moves alive around the edge of the area.
Stamina at 84 means he finishes matches as strongly as he starts them, which is priceless across a long Career Mode campaign.
