FC 25’s level 35 season pass reward brings one of the most exciting Icon versions we’ve seen in years with the 97-rated Shapeshifters Kaka. This version of the Brazilian legend isn’t just nostalgia bait. It’s a true endgame card packed with elite playstyles, strong attacking AI and a build that thrives in the current meta.
With his 5-star weak foot, high-end pace, and ability to play across multiple attacking positions, Shapeshifters Icon Kaka is one of the most flexible and dangerous cards you can unlock. Players already grinding to level 35 are finding themselves with a version of Kaka that may honestly be his best ever in any FUT or FC title.
Important: This Kaka card is not free. It is part of the paid Season Pass in FC 25, which costs 500,000 in-game coins or 1,000 FC Points to unlock.
Lengthy Kaka changes everything
The biggest discussion around this Kaka card is whether or not to boost his dribbling stats with a chemistry style like Engine. But here’s the thing. When played with a Lengthy chemistry style such as Hawk, his animations and sprinting power are so effective that it makes up for his slightly stiff left-stick dribbling.
The card is built with power in mind. 6’1″, bigger body type, and all the key plus playstyles: 
First Touch+, 
Rapid+, Press Proven and more. His animation quality and AI intelligence help him make deadly forward runs, especially when combined with L1 triggers. That Lengthy sprint boost feels almost like an exploit when timed correctly.
Where Kaka shines in-game
You can use this Kaka in any attacking role: striker, left wing, right wing or central cam. He offers insane flexibility because of his positioning and the traits he brings to the table. What makes him shine even more is his combination of driven shot and finesse traits. He finishes 1v1s consistently and the AI movements to get him into those spaces are top-tier.
He’s ideal for quick L1 pass-and-go gameplay and even if you’re not green timing finesse shots, his shooting animations and weak foot consistency still result in goals. With the right movement and setup he even gets solid headers despite not being known for aerial threat.
This review from Inception’s YouTube channel breaks it all down across several matches and shows just how consistently effective this card is even at high levels of play.
Don’t focus on his dribbling too much
If you’re wondering whether to give him a dribbling boost, the reality is you don’t need to. This Kaka card thrives off Lengthy movement and tactical execution. The left-stick might feel a bit off at times, but that’s not what defines his impact. You’re better off increasing physicals and pace to get more out of his playstyle.
Most of your gameplay will revolve around passing, first touches, L1 movements and precise shooting angles. Kaka’s built to function within that ecosystem. Giving him an Engine will technically increase balance and agility, but it also sacrifices the key boost in physical stats and explosiveness that the Hawk offers.
Think of it like the endgame Team of the Season Suarez card from previous games. That same kind of unstoppable feeling in attack, even with limited left-stick control. He’s not built to be your tight-space dribbler. He’s built to bulldoze and finish.
Massive W for a paid season pass unlock
As a season pass card, this version of Kaka is a huge win for players who invest in the paid track. Unlocking him by reaching level 35 in FC 25’s season objectives gives you an elite-tier forward with full 5-star capabilities, versatile positioning and one of the cleanest finishing mechanics in the game.
Again, keep in mind this card is locked behind the paid season pass. You’ll need to either spend 500,000 in-game coins or 1,000 FC Points to access the premium track.
If you’re not grinding for this Kaka, you should be. He performs at levels equal to or better than many high-priced Icon and promo players in the current transfer market.
