While you may be eager to see Team of the Season, the developers are clearly not ready yet. Don’t complain, because Immortals promo will fill the gap in your time. The developers have done a good job of keeping this event under wraps, and there are very few leaks about it at the moment.

There will be two teams in Immortals Promo, with the second team expected to be released seven days after Team 1, on April 11. The event will end on April 18. What Are Immortals Promo?

In honor of these football legends, the promotion will include themed SBCs, objectives and dedicated evolutions. Players may be unfamiliar with this promotion, as Immortals was first released in FC 25. EA FC 25 Immortals will offer upgraded player Icon and hero cards with three PlayStyle+ styles. Players can also enjoy many excellent SBCs, objectives, evolutions and even some free packs. However, if you want to get the real top players, you will have to prepare a lot of FUT 25 Coins. Immortals leak This leak was once again released by leaker FutSheriff of “X”. The players on Immortals promotion will only be Icons and Heroes. This may be similar to Golazo promotion in FC 24 and Trophy Titans promotion in FIFA 23, which also only featured Icons and Heroes. This means that the new cards may not include active players. Players will receive baby versions of Immortals Icons cards in packs and SBCs, which is great news for Ultimate Team players who want Icons for Evolutions. @FutSheriff also revealed the official Immortals Icon cards and Immortals Hero cards, which are still incredibly good and may become some of the best cards in the game. All Icons will have two versions this time. One version is rated higher, while the other version may change position to reflect an earlier moment in the player’s career. This is the baby version mentioned above. Baby Immortals Icons will usually have a lower overall rating than normal Immortals Icons, such as Gareth Bale’s normal Immortals Icon, which has an overall rating of 94 and a position of RW. The overall rating of his Baby Immortals Icon card is 90, and his position is LB. The leaked cards are as follows: ST: Ronaldo Nazario (Immortals Icon) 96 Overall Rating CB: Franz Beckenbauer (Immortals Icon) 95 Overall Rating (Confirmed) ST: Mia Hamm (Immortals Icon) 96 Overall Rating RW: Gareth Bale (Immortals Icon) 94 Overall Rating ST: Thiery Henry (Immortals Icon) 95 Overall Rating ST: Ronaldo Nazario (Baby Immortals Icon) 92 Overall Rating CB: Franz Beckenbauer (Baby Immortals Icon) 90 Overall Rating LB: Gareth Bale (Baby Immortals Icon) 90 Overall Rating Thiery Henry is a retired star in French football.

Generally speaking, after the promotion starts, you can get these players by opening card packs or directly from the transfer market, but several consecutive crazy promotions may have consumed all the players’ coins. If you just want to collect players in this promotion and don’t care whether they are powerful, then Baby Immortals Icon may be a better choice. They still have exquisite cards and high scores, and are equally memorable. Just getting them won’t take you too much FIFA 25 Coins. If you’re looking to accumulate some coins, a good way to do this is to go to the transfer market now to get the common cards of these icon players.

During the event, you need to pay close attention to the changes in demand for each player in the transfer market, and try to exchange them when the demand is highest. There is not much information about Immortals promotion at the moment, but judging by the leaked players and ratings, this is another promo event that can greatly enhance your team. If all your coins have been used up in the previous promotion, it is better to wait for Team of the Season event to come, or wait until the event goes online to see if you can complete SBCs challenges.

As EA Sports FC 25 Season 5 progresses, the long-awaited new promotion Grassroot Greats is about to debut. This event was previously confirmed by FUT 25, and it will meet players this week. This event is centered on nostalgia and classics, aiming to bring back legendary players in Ultimate Team history who have conquered players with high cost-effectiveness or super powerful strength. Many players are concerned about which players will be selected for this event, and various leaks are emerging as the event is approaching. So are there any players you like among these leaked players? Date Grassroot Greats event is expected to be officially launched on February 14, 2025, replacing Future Stars promotion that ended at the same time. Grassroot Greats event will last for a week. After this event, it may be Road to the Final, taking over the second half of Season 5 of FIFA 25. In addition, Future Stars is being held. The players in this event also have very good data. They can definitely become one of the core players in your team. When Grassroot Greats event starts, the players in Future Stars will be removed from the shelves. Players who want to get Future Stars should quickly use your FC 25 Coins to unlock your favorite players! The theme of Grassroot Greats event is to pay tribute to the classics, focusing on those players who have left a deep mark in the history of Ultimate Team. These players may not be top stars in reality, but because of their super attributes in the game, such as Race, shooting or physical advantages, they have become the king of cost-effectiveness or even the most popular players in the player’s lineup. For example, Gervinho, Doumbia, Ibarbo of Roma trio in FIFA 15 or Alexander Esswein in FIFA 13 have become players’ nightmares with their low prices and amazing performance. Leaked Players Although EA has not yet officially announced the complete list, multiple leaks have revealed some core players and card design directions. Even when the official promotional video for Grassroot Greats was released in January, a leaked list was leaked: Doumbia Gervinho Ibarbo Franz Beckenbauer Diego Maradona Alexis Mac Allister Juninho Ian Wright Roberto Baggio Foudy Didier Drogba Jaap Stam Bruno Fernandes This list was leaked too early and may be different from the real list. But Diego Maradona is definitely on the list for this event. Because he is the cover character this time. As early as 2022, EA had to remove Diego Maradona from FIFA 22 due to some legal issues. His 91, 95 and 97 cards were all removed from Ultimate Team. Diego Maradona’s return is undoubtedly one of the biggest highlights of this event. His card may be 96 OVR Icon. What’s even more surprising to players is that EA FC 25 leaker Fut Sheriff revealed that the free Maradona Evolution is likely to appear in the game. Players only need to log in on a specific date to get it. In addition to Diego Maradona, the following players have a high probability of appearing in Grassroot Greats: Seydou Doumbia (94 OVR): A representative of the speed striker in FIFA 15 era. Gervinho (93 OVR): A winger with strong breakthrough ability. Victor Ibarbo (92 OVR): A stadium warrior known for his physical confrontation and running. Franck Ribéry (96 OVR): Icon card, strengthens dribbling and passing attributes. Didier Drogba (96 OVR): Has a powerful header like a beast. Roberto Baggio (96 OVR): Outstanding set-piece and ball control ability. Bruno Fernandes (92 OVR): Enhanced shooting and Skill moves. Alexis Mac Allister (92 OVR): A midfielder with both offensive and defensive capabilities. Grassroot Greats players are all very powerful this time, covering almost every position on the pitch. If you can get one of them, your team’s strength will usher in a qualitative leap. If you have a lot of FIFA 25 coins, then this event is the best time to use them. In addition, the card design this time will be integrated with a retro style. Some players adopt the classic style of their peak season, such as Maradona’s 1986 World Cup image. And all cards are equipped with exclusive PlayStyles+ enhanced skills, such as Maradona’s Trickster+ or Drogba’s Aerial+. How To Get Grassroot Greats Players? High-rated Icon cards are expected to require many coins or FIFA 25 Points. Players are advised to accumulate reward packs through Squad Battles or Champions mode. Common cards of historical classic players may be popular in the transfer market. Players who don’t need these cards can exchange them to accumulate some FUT coins. In addition, if active players are not included in the event, the coins you need to exchange them in the transfer market may be reduced. You can exchange some of these players to prepare for the next event. Grassroot Greats is not only a nostalgic feast for EA FC 25 but also a response to the needs of Ultimate Team community players. The emotional needs of old players are met, and it also provides new players with the opportunity to experience previous versions. In addition, the return of Maradona marks the reconciliation between the developer and the football player’s copyright holder, and more legendary stars may be introduced in the future.

In the competitive EA community, especially in EA Sports FC 25 Ultimate Team mode, players are hungry for victory. Therefore, proper formation and tactics are crucial. The 4-4-2 formation is known for its balance and security, providing solid defensive and attacking support. This symmetrical formation allows players to control every area of ​​the pitch. In FUT 25, 4-4-2 is one of the best formations and we will cover the best tactics and roles to go with it, which can be the deciding factor in winning crucial games. Tactics Build-Up Style: Short Passes Defensive Approach: Balanced In FIFA 25, the tactical system has undergone a major overhaul, eliminating the need to specify width and the number of players in the box. Now it’s just a matter of deciding on your playmaking style and defensive approach. For a 4-4-2 formation that emphasizes possession, short passes are the best option. In this style, players will frequently make short passes to support the ball carrier and reduce blind forward runs, helping you to better control the ball and maintain a longer offensive. For the 4-4-2 formation, it is also crucial to adopt a balanced defensive strategy. This strategy allows your defense to flexibly adjust its depth and press forward to find offensive opportunities at the right time. Combined with top defensive players and setting a defensive height line of about 60-70, you can ensure a solid defensive line and avoid being penetrated by the opponent. Player Roles In EA FC 25, adapting player roles to the 4-4-2 formation is crucial. Here is our recommended 4-4-2 setup: Goalkeeper: Goalkeeper, Defend Centre-Backs: Ball-Playing Defender, Defend Left-Back: Wing-Back, Defend Right-Back: Full-Back, Balanced Left Central Midfielder: Deep-Lying Playmaker, Defend Right Central Midfielder: Box-to-Box, Defend Left Midfielder: Winger, Balanced Right Midfielder: Inside Forward, Balanced Left Striker: Advanced Forward, Attack Right Striker: False 9, Build-Up Defensive Player Roles In EA FC 25, goalkeepers should stick to their traditional ‘keeper’ and ‘defender’ roles to ensure the last line of defence. Using a sweeper goalkeeper, while an option, is often unnecessary and may introduce unnecessary risk. For a 4-4-2 formation, a non-traditional centre-back set-up is recommended, setting them up as “ball-playing defenders”. This enhances the ability to advance the ball, use their defensive solidity and passing ability to easily create offsides and support playmaking. The beauty of the 4-4-2 formation is its flexibility, especially in the role of the full-backs. The left back can serve as “wing-back” and “defense”, taking into account both offense and defense, providing width and energy. This requires versatile, physical players who can move forward to support the attack and look like extra attackers. The right-back plays a ‘full-back’ and ‘balanced’ role, being more defensive and prioritizing goal protection, releasing pressure by dropping back, holding the line and providing passing options. Midfield Player Roles In a 4-4-2 formation, spending some FC 25 Coins to acquire strong midfielders is crucial. Although there are only two midfielders, they provide comprehensive support to the team by playing a “box-to-box” role. They need to perform well on both ends of the floor, contribute to defense and offense with tireless energy, and be an integral part of the team. Along with the versatile midfielder, the “deep-lying playmaker” in the defensive position provides an attacking outlet in the midfield. They control the tempo of the game, act as a key cog in organizing play from the back, and focus on blocking passing lanes to ensure the team maintains control when attacking. On either flank, using a ‘winger’ in one ‘balanced’ position and an ‘inside forward’ in another ‘balanced’ position can make it difficult for the opponent to deal with. The winger uses speed and agility to stretch the defense and deliver dangerous crosses, staying close to the touchline to provide support for the flanks. Inside forward moves from the wing, to become a goal threat, adding variety to the opponent. Attacking Player Roles In a 4-4-2 system, two attackers are used: an advanced forward and a false nine. Advanced forwards focus on scoring and positioning to outrun defenders, while also being involved in organizing passes and running from behind. False nine creates space and confuses defenders, dropping deep to pull defenders out of position and linking the midfield with the attack, contributing to the defensive phase of the game. This provides balance to the team and ensures gaps are always filled. Also Read: FC 25 Coins Giveaways Players To Use In EA Sports FC 25, many players are suitable for 4-4-2. The offense needs speed and versatility, and the budget-friendly Ademola Lookman and Inaki Williams are ideal. They are fast, have an eye for goal and can adapt to multiple positions and are suitable to participate in the game. In the midfield, you need strong midfielders such as Atletico Madrid star Marcos Llorente and Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga, who are fast and powerful. Defensively, speedy centre-backs such as Josko Gvardiol, Manuel Akanji and Micky van de Ven are ideal, their speed providing versatility to the deep defence, with Gvardiol also able to play at left-back. The combination of these players and tactics in EA Sports FC 25 will provide you with a strong and balanced team to help you achieve victory in Ultimate Team mode.
