Madden 25: Best Core Elites in MUT

Patrick Mahomes, Tyreek Hill, and Sauce Gardner headline the list of the best Core Elites in Maddens 25 Madden Ultimate Team.

During late July, the Madden 25 unveiled the best players at each position in the game, for most of the game modes. However, Madden Ultimate Team has its own ratings system, at least for base Core cards. That’s thanks to MUT’s power curve.

In early August, the Madden 25 team released the players who have the best overalls among Core Elites. And as one would expect, some familiar names headline the list.

Here’s a look at the best Core Elites in MUT 25, sorted by position.

Best Core Elite quarterbacks

Patrick Mahomes leads the Core Elite quarterbacks at 84 OVR. As one will see throughout this list, 84 OVR is the peak for Core Elite OVR figures.

Best Core Elite half backs

The Madden 25 cover athlete is the best-rated running back among Core Elite cards.

Best Core Elite wide receivers

Best Core Elite tight ends

Best Core Elite offensive linemen

Left tackle Trent Williams is the best player at his position. The rest of the 84 OVR cards don’t overlap in positions, meaning each are the best at their respective one.

Best Core Elite defensive tackles

Best Core Elite defensive ends

Best Core Elite outside linebackers

Best Core Elite middle linebackers

Best Core Elite free safeties

Best Core Elite strong safeties

Best Core Elite cornerbacks

As these are base Core Elites, these cards will be significantly lower overalls, given the power curve of the game. However, these Core Elites will carry value throughout the year, even when the game’s power creep pushes them out of the way. These cards, provided one is not a BND, can be sold for Coins or Training.
