With the updates to dribbling in this year’s game, having someone with excellent ball control can help you dribble through a team almost single-handedly. If you’re getting bogged down in the middle of the park and can’t seem to get the space to attack, having one of the game’s top dribblers will help you avoid these situations and break through defences.
We’ve put together a list of the 10 very best dribblers in the game across both the men’s and women’s games. These are the players that don’t just have the best dribbling stat, but have excellent agility, balance, reactions and ball control too, making them the perfect threat with the ball at their feet.

Some of these inclusions are probably going to be of no surprise to you, while others certainly might be, especially if you’re not very up to date with women’s football. A couple of these players also feature as one of the overall 10 best players in FC 25, so these aren’t one trick ponies by any measure.
