EA Sports continues the celebration with star-studded FUT Birthday Team 2—here’s who’s rumored to join the party!

FIFA Ultimate Team’s most festive promo, FUT Birthday, enters its second exciting week, and leaks have surfaced hinting at another impressive lineup. Team 1 thrilled players with major upgrades, granting all featured cards a double 5-star boost—five-star skill moves and five-star weak foot—and Team 2 looks set to follow suit.

Confirmed leaks: Big names in the spotlight

Reliable Twitter leaks have revealed that Team 2 will feature elite stars from top European clubs. Here’s who’s been leaked so far:

  • Virgil van Dijk (Liverpool, Netherlands)
    Already one of the most dominant defenders in FUT, Van Dijk’s upgrade to five-star skill moves and weak foot could revolutionize defensive gameplay, offering unprecedented versatility at the back.
  • Julian Alvarez (Atlético Madrid, Argentina)
    Alvarez, known for his sharp attacking instinct, will become even deadlier with both feet. Expect his boosted card to become a top pick among La Liga squads, especially for those seeking creative flair.
  • Presnel Kimpembe (Paris Saint-Germain, France)
    A fan-favorite defender with legendary FUT status, Kimpembe’s Birthday edition promises to be exceptional, further strengthening French and Ligue 1 hybrid teams.
  • Harry Maguire (Manchester United, England)
    Often a subject of debate among football fans, Maguire’s rumored FUT Birthday upgrade will surely make him a highly intriguing option, giving him agility and skills rarely seen from defenders of his stature.
  • Renato Sanches (Benfica, Portugal)
    A FUT icon for many years, Renato Sanches could see one of the most eagerly awaited cards of this promo. His double five-star upgrade could bring unmatched versatility to midfield, rekindling nostalgia from past FIFAs.
