After a Premier League Team of the Season in FC 25 that left many players disappointed, Bundesliga TOTS is already showing signs of improvement. From upgraded playstyle plus traits to stronger leaked cards, EA appears to be correcting course. The first signs come from the in-game menu tease and confirmed leaks that highlight much-needed upgrades across dribbling, passing, and finishing stats, plus usable weak foot and skill move boosts.

The early reaction is positive. Top-tier players like Harry Kane, Victor Osimhen, and Pernille Harder feature in the promo screen and show a clear trend: better playstyles that match the way players actually perform in-game. Add to that the first big leak, Xavi Simons’ TOTS card via SBC, and FC 25 might be getting back on track with Bundesliga.

Xavi Simons TOTS SBC could be the turning point

The leaked Xavi Simons Team of the Season card has instantly caught the attention of the community. Coming in at 95 rated with five-star weak foot and five-star skills, this card could become a game-changer in Ultimate Team. His stats include 95 pace, 95 dribbling, and strong physical and passing numbers, making him one of the most complete midfielders in the game.

Even more important are the playstyle plus traits: Low Driven+, Incisive Pass+, and Finesse Shot+. These are some of the most desirable in FC 25, giving Simons the ability to dominate in tighter spaces and contribute directly in front of goal. Combined with his small build and high balance, this card is expected to feel extremely smooth in-game.

Assuming EA releases the card via SBC for around 400 to 500k, it would provide a top-tier option that rivals many of the overpriced Premier League cards. It would also mark a clear shift in content quality compared to the previous week.

Bundesliga TOTS players come with better traits and stat distribution

Bundesliga TOTS is already showing major improvements over the Premier League release, especially when it comes to playstyle plus traits. Each of the teased players appears to have been built with gameplay in mind, making them both usable and exciting.

  • Harry Kane is loaded with Low Driven+, Finesse Shot+, and Incisive Pass+, perfectly suited for a striker who thrives in both finishing and passing
  • Victor Osimhen features Quick Step+, Finesse Shot+, and Chip Shot+ along with his expected lengthy body type, giving him real value in counter-attacks and physical duels
  • Pernille Harder, representing Bayern Munich Women, includes Tiki Taka+, Technical+, and Low Driven+, making her ideal for creative play in the final third

These upgrades directly address the criticism that Premier League TOTS cards felt generic or poorly constructed. Rather than just boosting overall ratings, EA is putting effort into making cards play like their real-life counterparts

Additional Bundesliga TOTS leaks build anticipation

Beyond the teaser screen and Simons SBC, a few other Bundesliga TOTS players have leaked ahead of the full team reveal:

  • Serhou Guirassy, Stuttgart’s prolific forward, is expected to receive a heavily boosted card
  • Victor Boniface, one of the standout players for Bayer Leverkusen, also looks set for a powerful TOTS inclusion

While not all stats are confirmed, both of these players are known for their physicality, high work rates, and ability to finish which means they could become go-to options for Weekend League squads.

What’s also promising is that not every card has leaked yet, leaving room for surprises when the team drops. This could help maintain excitement through the weekend and keep players engaged.

Evolutions could get a needed boost with new center-back EVO

Although Evolutions have struggled during Team of the Season, there’s a leaked center-back EVO that could offer some redemption. The new evolution will reportedly include Bruiser+, Block+, and Slide Tackle+ and is expected to support cards rated around 90 or 91.

Players like Matthijs de Ligt, Vincent Kompany, and other tall, strong defenders may fit this upgrade, offering new life to older special cards. If the stat caps are increased compared to recent Evolutions like the Marathon Man EVO, this could be the first truly viable EVO in weeks.

This matters for Bundesliga TOTS because defensive upgrades have been one of the weakest parts of the campaign so far. If the EVO allows Bundesliga center backs to evolve into top-tier options, it could fill a much-needed gap in squad building.

Bundesliga TOTS offers renewed opportunity for SBC upgrades

Outside of the Simons SBC, EA appears to be turning toward better Squad Building Challenges overall. While Premier League TOTS SBCs were overpriced and lacked meaningful upgrades, Bundesliga content looks more promising already.

Future leaked names like Jamal Musiala, Alphonso Davies, and Florian Wirtz would be ideal candidates for additional SBCs or objectives if included. Given the early trend of better playstyles and traits, these cards could easily match or surpass the quality seen in past TOTS promos.

With lower pack save numbers this week compared to Premier League, there’s also a chance that Bundesliga cards debut at higher prices, making SBCs and objectives even more desirable from a value standpoint.
