5⭐5⭐ Florian Wirtz FUTTIES SBC review: better than expected? ⇒ FUTFC

The new 98-rated FUTTIES Florian Wirtz SBC has arrived in EA FC 25, and it’s shaping up to be one of the best creative attacking midfielder cards released late in the game cycle. With a 5-star skill move and 5-star weak foot combo, Wirtz offers high flexibility across multiple attacking positions, making him a top-tier option for many squads.

His maxed-out dribbling, passing traits, and shooting animations make him a great CAM, and according to gameplay reviewer Inception, Wirtz performs well in all the right areas when used properly.

Wirtz comes with a set of highly relevant PlayStyle+ traits:

Incisive Pass+
Technical+
Low Driven Shot+
Pinged Pass+

He also has the regular Quick Step, not Quick Step+. While this lowers his explosiveness slightly, his passing and shooting more than make up for it in most situations.

With 99-rated dribbling stats across the board, you’d expect a lightning-quick feel on the ball. In reality, Wirtz feels responsive, but not quite at the level of the most agile cards in the game. Still, he holds up well in tight spaces, especially with the use of L1 and R1 dribbling.

His shooting is also reliable, especially with Driven Shots from both feet thanks to the 5-star weak foot.

Best positions for Florian Wirtz in your team

This Wirtz card can play in several roles:

CAM (best role)
Striker
Left wing
Left mid
Center mid (only in attacking-focused setups)

Inception tested Wirtz mainly as a CAM and noted that it is clearly his strongest position, especially when paired with a more physical striker.

“Honestly plays really well in the CAM position. I liked his movement, I liked his passing options, and the shooting came off really clean,” Inception FC said in his review of Wirtz, that you can see down below.

On the left wing, Wirtz can be used as an inside forward, especially to cut in and take driven shots. However, he feels far more natural when operating centrally where his traits can be used more consistently.

Is Wirtz responsive enough on the ball?

Despite having 99 dribbling stats, Wirtz is not one of the most nimble players in the game. His left stick control is good but not elite. You can improve this by mastering L1 dribbles, R1 control, and carefully timed movement.

That being said, his off-ball behavior makes up for it. He makes smart AI runs, is always available in pockets of space, and reacts quickly to passing scenarios. For players who value structured build-up and intelligent movement, Wirtz performs very well.

Chemistry style recommendation for Wirtz

The most effective chemistry styles for Wirtz depend on how you plan to use him, but these two are ideal:

Hawk: Boosts pace and shooting, making him a more direct threat
Engine: Boosts pace and passing, perfect if used as a traditional CAM

Wirtz already has elite passing traits, so if you’re playing him deeper, Engine adds an extra layer of control. If he’s in or around the box, Hawk gives him a needed edge in shot power and sprint speed.

Should you complete the Florian Wirtz SBC?

The FUTTIES Wirtz SBC is currently well-priced, especially when considering how easy fodder is to grind right now through repeatable packs like the 85×10.

Wirtz offers a combination of traits that makes him valuable to multiple playstyles:

Creative CAM in possession setups
Secondary striker in a two-striker formation
Inside forward from the left in driven-shot-focused attacks

His movement, playstyles, and passing accuracy make him a standout in central roles, even if he isn’t the fastest on the ball. If you’re building a Bundesliga or German squad, or just want a reliable creator who can finish, Wirtz fits perfectly.
