Pelé is coming back to Ultimate Team with a 99-rated FUTTIES card in FC 25. But that’s not all. Leaks have also confirmed the return of fan-favourite Anthony Martial, along with premium FUTTIES cards, fresh evolutions and a potential new 500k season pass that may feature Pelé himself.
FUTTIES leaks in FC 25 start strong with Pelé 99 and Martial
The FUTTIES promo is shaping up early in FC 25 and already we have major names on the list. Pelé’s 99-rated Icon card is expected to headline the campaign, and Anthony Martial is also leaked to receive his first special card of the entire game cycle.
Martial has long been a cult hero in FIFA. His gold cards were usually one of the most overpowered budget strikers every year. Leaks suggest his FUTTIES version will be around 96 or 97 rated, with four PlayStyle+ traits. Another leaked card is Georginio Rutter, giving strong French ties to the first FUTTIES players.
This has led many to speculate whether the upcoming season pass might be themed around French players. EA has done nationality-based passes in previous titles, so it’s not farfetched to think this could happen again.
First 99-rated FC 25 card: FUTTIES Icon Pelé
The first 99-rated card in FC 25 is set to be none other than FUTTIES Icon Pelé. It marks the fourth year in a row where Pelé has hit the max overall, including cards from FIFA 22 Moments, FIFA 23 Shapeshifters and FC 24 FUTTIES.
What’s got the community talking even more is the possibility that this 99-rated Pelé won’t just be in packs. He might be a level 35 or level 40 reward in the new paid season pass. Last season we saw a five PlayStyle+ Kaká card offered for coins, and Pelé could follow the same path.
The expected cost? 500,000 coins. If confirmed, this would be the third straight season pass with that price tag. Given the value Pelé would bring, many players are already preparing to dump coins or sell high-rated cards to afford the pass.
Premium FUTTIES chemistry cards confirmed
FUTTIES with premium chemistry links are making a comeback. These cards offer enhanced squad-building flexibility and better links across leagues and nationalities.
Leakers suggest we’ll see new FUTTIES card designs and unique pack types added to the game code very soon. However, EA appears to be operating slower than usual with updates, likely due to their shift in focus toward FC 26 development.
What to expect next: SBCs, market movement and PTG
With Thursday rewards looming, fodder prices have risen slightly. TOTS cards that were 12k are now over 14k. Many are advising to sell high-rated items before rivals rewards increase supply on the market.
Watch out for SBCs expected soon, including a guaranteed Shapeshifter Team 4 pack and possibly a PTG guaranteed pack. These could offer low-risk upgrades using duplicate shapeshifters or unneeded high-rated cards.
Players are also advised to watch the transfer market closely. With another 500k season pass seemingly incoming, many will be selling assets to afford it. This could cause short-term dips, especially in tradable meta cards.
FC 26 leaks: Zlatan and Quaresma headline early news
Looking ahead to FC 26, Zlatan Ibrahimović has been leaked as the Ultimate Edition cover star and will be added as an Icon. That makes him the biggest confirmed new legend for FC 26 so far.
Also leaked is Ricardo Quaresma, who is coming in as a Hero. Known for his Travela shots and skill-based play, Quaresma’s card should feature the Travela PlayStyle+, although there are rumors that this trait might be changed in FC 26.
EA appears to be leaning into players who were legends in FIFA, not just real life. Zlatan and Quaresma are perfect examples of this new direction.
World Cup mode reportedly returning in FC 26
Another big FC 26 leak is the return of World Cup mode. While it’s unclear if it’s Ultimate Team-specific, the news suggests that EA has the rights for the FIFA World Cup, even after separating from FIFA licensing.
If the mode ends up resembling FIFA 18’s insanely popular World Cup Ultimate Team setup, fans will be more than happy. For now, the leak comes from a smaller source, so treat it as promising but not yet confirmed.
Final PTG matches in UEFA Women’s promo
Germany and Sweden both won their matches this week, scoring more than three goals. This locks in upgrades for players like Sara Däbritz and Fridolina Rolfö. Rolfö’s price jumped from 280k to over 300k overnight due to upgrade hype.
Today’s matches include England vs Netherlands and France vs Wales. PTG cards like Lauren Hemp and Georgia Stanway are risky holds — if England loses, they are out of the tournament with no upgrades.
With Division Rivals rewards dropping on Thursday, it’s also worth noting that more supply of these cards will hit the market. If you own any, it may be wise to sell into the hype today.
