EA FC 25 Grassroot Greats: What Can We Know About The Leaks?
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.

EA FC 25 Premium Pass Guide ...
As EA Sports FC 25 Team of the Season is in full swing, a new season update has arrived. To be honest, the content brought by each EA FC series season update is not painful and there is nothing worth paying attention to, but this Season 7 not only brings some gameplay changes and bug fixes, but the most important addition is a new paid Season Pass tier - Premium Pass! In fact, since the release of EA FC 25, Season Pass system in the game has always been completely free and open to everyone by default. Players can get rewards and additional content just by playing the game. This strategy has successfully won the trust of most players who resist paying to win, and also distinguished itself from competitors like NBA 2K25 that adopt a paid season pass profit scheme, giving it a unique competitive advantage. But this move didn’t last long, because with the upcoming Team of the Season (TOTS) promotion coming up, both the number of online players and the demand for various player cards and items are at a peak, so the developers are finally ready to add a new paid Premium Pass system to FC 25’s Ultimate Team mode for the first time. There is no doubt that the addition of this new feature is definitely a major change for Ultimate Team mode. Start Time This FC 25 Premium Pass system was added to the game at the same time as the release of Season 7, that is, it will be officially available at 7 am UTC on April 24, 2025, which is one day before TOTS promotion starts. How To Get Premium Pass? This new Season Pass tier is an additional ladder based on the standard season ladder, which can provide players with a lot of new tradable rewards, player items, evolutions, etc. However, please note that this Premium Pass is not available in all modes. It is only available in Football Ultimate Team, Clubs and Manager/Player Career. In addition, it is worth noting that the way to obtain this Season Pass in FC 25 is different from the paid season pass system in similar sports simulation games. You are not limited to spending real money to obtain it. The developers have provided players with another option, that is, you can choose to obtain Premium Pass by using FUT 25 Coins. In Season 7, it takes 1,000 FC 25 Points or 500,000 FUT Coins to redeem Premium Pass, which means that the large amount of coins you have accumulated in the game can finally be put to good use! This will be a welcome change for those players who often grind the game and do not want to spend extra money to get premium rewards in the game. What Rewards Can Be Provided In Premium Pass? As the first paid season pass introduced in FIFA 25, I believe the rewards provided by this Premium Pass must be exciting! The rewards you can get from it are as follows: Tradeable Packs: 85x30, 86x10, 84x25 Rare Pack SP (Season Points) Boosters: When you reach level 20 in Premium Pass, you’ll earn 10,000 SP, which are the necessary consumable points to unlock Premium and Standard Pass Seasonal ladders. Player Items: These include TOTS Flashbacks and TOTS Honourable Mentions. Evolution Consumables: These consumables improve your Role++ and Playstyle+, optimizing your player cards in less time. Retro Cosmetic Evolutions: Premium Pass will offer more retro kits from Football Ultimate Team history, this time themed around TOTS. How Does The Introduction Of Premium Pass Affect TOTS? EA FC 25’s Team of the Season will run for seven weeks, highlighting the top players from each of the major leagues. The developers are starting with the top teams from Ligue 1, Arkema Premier League, and Eredivisie. Although we note that there is no voting feature for Ligue 1 squads at the moment, fans can vote for Premier League first, and then vote for their favorite Bundesliga, Serie A, and La Liga teams in the coming weeks. Before TOTS promotion, both TOTS Warm Up series and the new Invincibles event gave players the opportunity to win free gift packs and accumulate FC 25 coins, so most players are fully capable of getting Premium Pass at this time to prepare for the upcoming annual event! Therefore, it is not groundless for the developers to release this paid season pass at this time. However, some players are skeptical about this new change. Because according to previous experience, developers usually use TOTS period to test new systems in preparation for the next FC series game, and the emergence of Premium Pass may indicate that the profit strategy of Ultimate Team mode will be further expanded. Will the original economic system in FC be destroyed by the pack inflation? Everything is unknown. Granted, even if some FC 25 players are wary of this, the option to use EA FC 25 Coins to get the Ultimate Team Season Pass has already done its best to strike a better balance between free and paying users, minimizing potential losses for players. Therefore, we may really expect the arrival of the Premium Pass to accelerate our success in TOTS!Apr-23-2025

EA FC 25 UEFA Dreamchasers: ...
Fut Birthday ends on Friday, March 21st, and a new promotion, UEFA Dreamchasers, is coming to its place. This promotion includes a lot of really cool cards, and there are some big name players that will be great additions to your squad. Are you ready for UEFA Dreamchasers? How many FUT 25 coins do you have left? UEFA Dreamchasers UEFA Dreamchasers promotion is no less than TOTY promotion. This promotion includes icons, heroes, and current players. The cards for this promotion have unique designs, and each card also has three PlayStyles+! It will be released on March 21st at 1:00 PM EST. It is not known if it will last for two weeks like FUT Birthday, but it seems that the developers will not extend it. Maybe you can get another new promo on March 28th. Some of UEFA Dreamchasers cards are meta cards. They have great attributes and top-tier PlayStyles+. Many world-class players and football royalty will also be in this promotion, which is really exciting. But it will undoubtedly be a big test for players to store FIFA 25 coins. UEFA Dreamchasers Leaked Players Unfortunately, all the players for UEFA Dreamchasers event have been leaked in advance. This time the leaked player list comes from the popular FC 25 Twitter accounts FUT Sheriff and FIFATradingRomania. They have a long history of publishing FC leaks and almost always prove that these news are correct. But I believe the production team is used to it. The promotional players for UEFA Dreamchasers event are Harry Kane and Mbappe, who are two of the top strikers in the game and are cards that can greatly change your team’s offensive. Putellas, Lucio, Rivaldo, Prinz, Raul and Desaily are some of the biggest names on the field, and having one of them in your Ultimate Team will be a world of difference. Most EA FC 25 UEFA Dreamchasers promo cards are only available via packs and the transfer market. But some top players like Gullit and Dembele will arrive via SBC. Here is the leaked list of UEFA Dreamchasers players: Leaked Dreamchaser Icons and Heroes Icon Birgit Prinz (Germany): 94 Overall Rating Icon Rivaldo (Brazil): 94 Overall Rating Icon Raul (Spain): 93 Overall Rating Icon Ruud Gullit (Dutch): 94 Overall Rating - SBC Icon Marcel Desailly (France): 92 Overall Rating Icon Claude Makelele (France): 91 Overall Rating Hero Lucio (Bundesliga): 93 Overall Rating Hero Bixente Lizarazu (Bundesliga): 92 Overall Rating Leaked UEFA Dreamchasers Modern Players Kylian Mbappe (Real Madrid): 95 Overall Rating Harry Kane (Bayern Munich): 95 Overall Rating Ousmane Dembele (PSG): 92 Overall Rating - SBC Alexia Putellas (Barcelona): 93 Overall Rating Florian Wirtz (Barcelona): 93 Overall Rating Lautaro Martinez (Inter Milan): 93 Overall Rating Ewa Pajor (Barcelona): 92 Overall Rating Linda Caicedo (Real Madrid): 92 Overall Rating Marcos Llorente (Atletico Madrid): 91 Overall Rating Nico Shlotterbeck (Dortmund): 90 Overall Rating Mariona (Arsenal): 89 Overall Rating Ethan Nwaneri (Arsenal): 89 Overall Rating Orkan Kokcu (Benfica): 89 Overall Rating The lowest rating for a player on a UEFA Dreamchasers card is 89, while the highest rating is 95. It’s also worth noting that these players can be upgraded based on their team’s actual performance in European Championship. This makes these cards even more sought-after. UEFA Dreamchasers Modern Players may become a better player card in the coming weeks. And when UEFA Dreamchasers trailer starts, Franz Beckenbauer will be back. This German icon has appeared in FC games for several years, so his return will be a treat for fans of Kaiser. As for the two players with the highest ratings, their attributes in this event may be as follows: Harry Kane - ST Pace: 88 Shoot: 98 Passing: 91 Dribbling: 91 Defense: 55 Physical: 88 Kylian Mbappe - ST Pace: 99 Shoot: 94 Passing: 85 Dribbling: 96 Defense: 40 Physical: 83 Harry Kane’s amazing Shooting attribute makes his shots almost unstoppable, while Kylian Mbappe’s amazing Pace attribute makes this card like an arrow into the opponent’s penalty area after getting the ball. Both of these forwards are offensive players who can bring a lot of pressure to the opponent. As long as you can get one of them, your ultimate team’s offense will make the opponent busy. If you can get both players at the same time, the opponent’s defense can be easily torn apart by you. But it may be difficult to get these two cards. The team that moved these two cards from the transfer market will definitely need a lot of EA FC 25 Coins. If you saved up a lot of Packs in advance, you may be able to get one of them. But in general, although the players of UEFA Dreamchasers are very strong, unfortunately most of the players at this time are old faces. Players have already used these cards in FC 24 and even FIFA 20. Some players have complained about this. But no matter how this game performs, it is still the best football video game currently made. Its many game modes can still bring you the purest gaming joy. After the launch of UEFA Dreamchasers, various SBCs challenges will be launched together. Try to complete the challenges.Mar-20-2025

EA FC 25 Future Stars Team ...
After a round of preheating for Future Stars in EA Sports FC 25, players can’t wait for the second batch of Future Stars players to join. It is expected that these talented players will officially join FUT 25 through Future Star Icons this week. It is very regrettable that there are many young and excellent football players, but the number of Future Stars this time is indeed limited. At present, part of the list has been leaked, and some players have not been announced. We can still make some guesses. Leaked List Amad Diallo: 92 Bradley Barcola: 91 Joao Neves: 91 Linda Caicedo: 91 Pau Cubarsi: 90 Fowler: 90 Kouassi: 89 Pavlovic: 89 Kerkez: 89 Cata Coll: 88 Khusanov: 88 Murillo: 88 Cresswell: 87 Bakayoko: 87 Paula Tomas: 87 Andrey Santos: 87 El Khannouss: 87 This list leaked a lot of players and also gave their total score predictions. However, before the list is officially released, players should not believe it completely. If there is a player you like, you can start preparing FIFA 25 coins for him or her now. As the player with the highest total score on this list, Amad Diallo undoubtedly attracted most of the attention. Amad Diallo’s performance in the field is perfect. No matter how bad the situation is, he dares to attack when he gets the ball. His skills are absolutely unparalleled. If this card is given a five-star weak foot or high agility, it will definitely become the savior of Manchester United players! Paul Kubassi has established a foothold in Barcelona first team at the age of 18. His defense is comparable to that of a veteran, and his angles of passing are also extremely tricky. With his height and defense, he may be able to compete with Van Dijk. Players who want to build a Barcelona team should not be stingy with your FUT 25 Coins! Alexander Pavlovic is a fierce player in Bayern’s midfield. He is extremely good at stealing and his long passes are fast and far. If this card’s body is given above 90, coupled with Bayern’s chemistry, you will not be able to leave this card! Joao Neves is a treasure midfielder that Paris Saint-Germain dug from Benfica. At the age of 19, he dared to confront those old-timers in Champions League! In Ultimate Team, Joao Neves may be an all-around warrior, both offensive and defensive, coupled with Paris’s luxurious frontcourt. His strength will definitely open your eyes! Future Stars Icons Luis Figo Samuel Eto’o Rio Ferdinand Compared to the young people above, these Icon players don’t even need an introduction. They are considered the best players in their respective positions. Luis Figo is a legendary right winger who is the absolute core of the team in both Barcelona and Real Madrid. Forward Samuel Eto’o’s speed on the court is comparable to that of a cheetah. When he was in Barcelona and Inter Milan, he had almost no opponents. If you want to build a team that relies on speed, then choosing Samuel Eto’o will never be wrong. Rio Ferdinand is a legendary CB in Manchester United. He is strong and smart. Opponents will feel desperate when facing such a defense. The three of them may appear in SBC challenges or packs in FIFA 25. They are definitely worth your investment with FC 25 coins! Also Read: FC 25 Coins Giveaways Prediction Most of Future Stars players have been officially confirmed, but there is still room for speculation on some players. Here is the speculation of the complete list of players: Mary Fowler: ST Manchester City Women Murillo: CB Nottingham Forest Vicky Lopez: CM Barcelona Women Kobe Manu: CDM Manchester United Naomi Laizer: CB Manchester City Women Archie Gray: CDM Tottenham Hotspur Samu Omorodien: ST Porto Connor Bradley: LB Liverpool Giorgio Scalvini: CB Atalanta Mattis Tell: ST Tottenham Hotspur Bradley Bakola: LW Paris Saint-Germain Amad Diallo: RW Manchester United Paulo Kubasi: CB Barcelona FC Alexander Pavlovic: CDM Bayern Munich Joao Neves: Midfielder Paris Saint-Germain Mattis Tell had been sitting on the bench at Bayern before. After being picked up by Tottenham, he became the new hope of North London. Although he didn’t play much, his shooting was incredibly stable. If Mattis Tell could be one of Future Stars players, he may get a high shooting score in FUT 25. Important reminder! As soon as the second team goes online on February 7, the first team’s card packs will be directly removed from the shelves! If you want super players like Lamine Yamal, Endrick, seize the last chance! Don’t wait until they are removed from the shelves to regret it! The second Future Stars team will be removed from the shelves on February 14, and you only have one week to get these cards. Then there will most likely be new events such as Road To The Final or Grassroot Greats. EA FC 25 has confirmed that these events will be logged into the game later. If you want to stock up on coins, you can wait and see, but Future Stars player cards are definitely one of the strongest cards at present. Get them early and enjoy them early.Feb-06-2025

EA FC 25: How To Enhance De ...
As one of the most competitive games, EA Sports FC 25 is bound with a variety of formations, be it the previous formations or innovative one. For EA series enthusiasts, winning the game is the most important thing, which is also the essence of competitive sports game series. It is formidable to create a new set of tactics for most players. The most sensible way is to constantly adjust the existing excellent formation to meet the needs of the team. If the players in your team are not be categorized as the best players, or the focus of the entire team is mainly on defense, then it is recommended to try 5-4-1 formation. Of course, if you have the best players in the world, then this formation will also pose an offensive threat. Build-Up Style FC 25 offers you three options - Balanced, Counter and Short Passes for your build-up style. For 5-4-1 formation, the most apposite option comes to Balanced, which will grant you the control of the match. Player Roles Goalkeeper: Defending, Keeper Left-Back: Wing-back, Balanced Centre-Backs: Defender, Defend Right-Back: Wing-back, Balanced Left Central-Midfielder: Playmaker, Roaming Right Central-Midfielder: Holding, Defend Right Midfielder: Inside Forward, Balanced Left Midfielder: Inside Forward, Attack Striker: Advanced Forward, Complete The above player’s position allocation is not fixed. You are available to do some tweaks based on the practical situation. Defense Player Roles In 5-4-1 formation, goalkeepers will be the foundation of the entire team. goalkeepers features the security and reliability in FIFA 25. They will always stay between the goalposts unless called upon at the last minute. Then all three central defenders should be set to “Defender” and “Defend” roles. At the same time, they can also attack from the back. This player distribution undoubtedly strengthens the stability and security of the entire team. Full-backs take on part of the attacking tasks and support some much-needed width. Set your left-back and right-back as “Full-back” and “Balance” respectively to support them to advance forward to support the attack and then return to the defensive position. And you can also leave them in the front court to defend when needed if you unfortunately lose the control of the ball. This versatility of players is the perfect epitome to show the advantages of 5-4-1 formation. Midfield Player Roles In FC 25, a vigorous defense is important, but so is the midfield, which serves as the channel to break up the attack while also being able to continuously transfer the ball to the front court. One of your midfielders should be set up in the “Holding” and “Defend” roles to promise the stability of midfield and break down attacks of your rivalries. During attack, the midfielder can also protect the back line and cover counterattacks. Midfielders will lock down the penalty area to grant their partners more freedom to play in the field. Midfielders may be out of position during attack, and their partners can fill in to keep the formation intact. In the aspects of flank, your players should be sent “Inside Forward” and “Attack” to create the chance for them to cut in from the flank and attack. The best players for this position are those who are fast and can break through defenders. You can refer to the player’s stats and keep an eye on those players with fastest speed in FC 25, or by devoting some FIFA 25 Coins to enhance the performance of your players. Attacking Player Roles In a 5-4-1 formation, the striker is the attacker and is mainly focused on gaining points for the entire team. The striker can also move freely around the field when necessary. So be sure to choose players with high ratings in all aspects to take on this key role. Players Recommended Since 5-4-1 formation emphasizes defense. So in terms of defense, Josko Gvardiol, Manuel Akanji and Micky van de Ven can be selected to take the responsibility for central defenders. The midfield requires a high level of comprehensive ability from the players. So Marcos Llorente and Eduardo Camavinga with nice overall stats are recommended. Of course, if you are eligible to have those excellent players with highest rate in FIFA 25, then consider Kylian Mbappe or Erling Haaland, who will definitely give you an upper hand in the game. But not everyone has such a big budget, so if you are desperate for a cheap star who can quickly shine in the 5-4-1 formation, then consider Ademola Lookman and Inaki Williams with amazing speed advantage. As one of the most popular formations, the 5-4-1 formation can definitely lead your team to win the game with a little adjustment and equipped with the right players. The above is the sharing about 5-4-1 formation in FIFA 25. Desire to know more about formations in the game?
