EA Sports has taken everyone by surprise, revealing the full Season 8 Premium Pass in FC 25 Ultimate Team ahead of schedule. For the first time ever, a card with five PlayStyle+ traits is up for grabs, and it’s an endgame version of Icon Kaka. But that’s just one part of a stacked premium pass that features shapeshifter versions of real-world footballers in wild new positions and roles.
Season 8 Premium Pass unlocks 97-rated Kaka with five PlayStyle+ traits
The clear standout from this premium pass is the Shapeshifters Icon Kaka available at level 35. This version of the Brazilian legend includes:
Finesse Shot+
First Touch+
Rapid+- Slow Dribble+
Incisive Pass+
This is the first ever FC 25 Ultimate Team card to include five PlayStyle+ traits, setting a new power ceiling. EA confirmed this shift is intentional as player stats max out late in the cycle. PlayStyles, especially the + variants, now carry more gameplay value than raw stats.
At level 35, you can choose between this Kaka or a 91×3 player pick, but for most players, Kaka is the obvious choice.
Confirmed players and rewards in the Season 8 Premium Pass
EA has packed the premium track with Shapeshifter cards, tradable packs, XP boosts, and position-change items. Here are the official players featured across the 35 levels, along with their updated club information:
Level 1:
- Alexis Sánchez (95 CAM, Udinese)
- Pedro (95 RW, Lazio)
Level 5:
- Fikayo Tomori (95 CDM, AC Milan)
- Robin Le Normand (95 CM, Atlético Madrid)
Level 10:

Level 30:

Level 35:
- Shapeshifters Icon Kaka (97 RW, Brazil)
These cards are wild position swaps designed for fun and creative squad building. A striker Calafiori and right-back Grealish are not cards you’d normally see, which makes this pass ideal for those who enjoy experimenting with Evolutions and new tactics.
What else is in the pass besides player picks?
There’s more than just shapeshifters in this pass. EA has included plenty of high-value extras:
- Two XP boosts: 4,000 SP at level 6 and another at level 20 to fast-track progress
- Position change items: Any player to LW (level 13) and any player to ST (level 24)
- Quickstep+ Evolution (level 29): Add a fourth PlayStyle+ to a 96-rated card
Intercept+ and Finesse+ Evolutions (levels 32 and 33)- Tradable packs: Ranging from 83×3 to 85×12 across several levels
These packs and boosts make it easier to build squads, evolve your favorite cards, and prepare for Ultimate TOTS, which is just around the corner.
Is the FC 25 Premium Pass worth the coins?
The previous premium pass cost 500,000 coins or 1,000–2,000 FC Points, and the price is expected to be similar for Season 8. Even at that rate, the overall value here is strong:
- You get both premium and free rewards
- All packs in the premium track are tradable
- The pass includes some of the most unique shapeshifter cards of the year
- Five PlayStyle+ Kaka is endgame content
If you play FUT Champs or Rivals regularly and engage in Evolutions, this pass offers strong coin value and gameplay enhancements.
