The FUT Birthday promo is officially reaching unprecedented levels of hype, and EA Sports has just confirmed its biggest twist yet—every single FUT Birthday card will have 5-star skills and 5-star weak foot. That’s right, every player released in this event, from Icons and Heroes to standard promo cards, SBCs, and objectives, will have perfect technical ability.
This revelation is sending shockwaves through the FIFA community, completely redefining the meta. If you thought previous promos were game-changing, this one is about to break the mold.
5-Star Skills & 5-Star Weak Foot for Every FUT Birthday Player
For years, FUT Birthday has been known for giving select players skill move and weak foot boosts. But EA has now gone all in, making every FUT Birthday card as technically gifted as possible. Whether you’re playing in FUT Champs or Rivals, expect to see elite-level dribbling, skill moves, and unpredictable finishing from both feet.
This change means that even lower-rated or previously overlooked cards could become must-have players simply because of these upgrades. A five-star weak foot means deadly finishing from both sides, and five-star skills mean next-level dribbling and tricks—crucial for breaking down defenses.
Cristiano Ronaldo Flashback SBC – 5-Star, 5-Star Incoming?
One of the biggest questions now revolves around the Flashback Cristiano Ronaldo SBC, set to drop on Friday. EA has yet to confirm whether his card will follow the trend and be 5-star, 5-star, but all signs point to it happening.
The card is modeled after his FIFA 22 FUT Birthday version, and leaks suggest he will have Rapid+ and Finesse+ PlayStyles, making him even more deadly than his Team of the Year version in some aspects. If this SBC does indeed feature five-star skills and weak foot, it could easily become one of the most sought-after cards in EA FC history.
Rumored cost? 2.5 million coins. Expensive, but considering his TOTY card was 5 million just days ago, it could still be great value.
FUT Birthday Evolutions Could Make Any Player 5-Star, 5-Star
Beyond the cards in packs and SBCs, daily Evolutions are coming throughout FUT Birthday. EA has yet to reveal the exact details, but if they introduce a five-star skills & five-star weak foot Evolution, it could allow users to create their own meta-breaking players.
This opens the door for a massive shift in gameplay, as players previously held back by skill or weak foot limitations could now compete with the best.
Market Chaos: Prices Crashing Ahead of the Promo
With this announcement, the market has gone into full panic mode:
- Meta players with only 4-star skills or weak foot are being sold off rapidly.
- Fodder prices are rising as users prepare for high-end SBCs.
- Fantasy FC and live promo cards are experiencing major price swings.
For example, Kylian Mbappé has dropped from 800,000 to the 500,000 range, while Neymar and Son Heung-min have seen significant drops. Players are dumping assets to prepare for the wave of game-changing FUT Birthday items.
