FUT Birthday week 2 in FC 25 is shaping up to be even bigger than the first, bringing some of the most exciting SBCs and Evolution cards we’ve seen so far. The standout feature? A throwback to FIFA 15 with the return of legendary speedsters, upgraded through free Evolution cards. Players like Victor Ibarbo, Gervinho, and Seydou Doumbia will be available to evolve, potentially reaching 99 pace and allowing users to pick their playstyle plus upgrades.

With the nostalgic gold card design from FIFA 15 returning, these cards will feel like a proper blast from the past. But will they truly be meta-changing, or is there a catch to their Evolution process? We’ll find out soon enough.

Leaked SBCs: Yaya Touré, Luis Suárez, and more

Week 2 is delivering some of the most hyped SBCs yet, headlined by a Prime Icon version of Yaya Touré. With 95 physical, 93 passing, and a 5-star weak foot, this card is expected to be an instant fan-favorite for those running a defensive powerhouse midfield. His Pinged Pass and Bruiser playstyles make him a must-have, and his SBC is expected to cost between 2 to 2.5 million coins.

Luis Suárez is another major SBC leak, bringing a flashback version with Quick Step and Finesse Shot Plus. His stats are nearly identical to last week’s Cristiano Ronaldo SBC, but hopefully, his price will be more affordable, possibly under 1 million coins.

Additional leaked SBCs include:

  • Karim Adeyemi – 99 pace, 93 dribbling, Quick Step Plus
  • Bremer – Center-back SBC with Anticipate and Jockey, looking like an elite defensiveoption
  • James Maddison – Finesse Shot and Incisive Pass playstyles
  • Trinity Rodman – Rapid and Low-Driven Shot Plus

These upcoming SBCs could push fodder prices even higher, so investors should watch the market closely.

Market chaos: prices crashing and investment opportunities

As always, the FUT market is feeling the impact of new content. Division Rivals rewards have caused massive dips, with cards like Trent Alexander-Arnold dropping from 230K to 160K overnight. This pattern has been consistent each Thursday, making it a prime time for investments.

Fodder prices also took a hit but have since rebounded. 90-rated cards dropped from 31K to 25K, and are already rising again due to SBC demand. If you invested, selling after the Friday content drop could yield solid profits, especially with the Yaya Touré SBC expected to drive up demand.

Meanwhile, fantasy FUT live cards remain solid trading opportunities. Players with upcoming matches this weekend could see price spikes as they approach potential upgrades.

New FUT Birthday Team 2 cards leaked

EA has packed week 2 with even more top-tier players. Here are some of the biggest leaks:

  • Virgil van Dijk (95-rated) – Intercept and Anticipate playstyles
  • Julián Álvarez – Press Proven and Finesse Shot Plus
  • Musiala – Low-Driven Shot and Technical playstyles
  • Sam Kerr – Finesse Shot Plus and Low-Driven Shot
  • David Beckham (94-rated icon) – Dead Ball and Finesse Shot
  • Harry Maguire (92-rated) – A surprisingly usable card with Aerial playstyle and solid passing

There are also some interesting defenders entering the mix, like Soul Campbell (94-rated) and Ricardo Carvalho (91-rated), both looking like solid budget center-backs.

Will these Evo cards break the game?

The most exciting part of week 2 is undoubtedly the free Evolution cards for Ibarbo, Gervinho, and Doumbia. If the leaks hold true and they receive 99 pace and user-selected playstyle pluses, we could see them dominating Weekend League teams.

The key questions remain: how long will it take to complete their Evolution, and will there be any hidden restrictions? If EA truly allows players to max out these stats without major setbacks, these cards could disrupt the entire in-game economy.

As we head into a jam-packed Friday, keep an eye on the market, SBC releases, and how these Evo cards perform once fully upgraded. One thing’s for sure: FUT Birthday week 2 might just be even better than week 1.
