With the launch of Team 2 cards, we have a fair idea about all the available FUT Birthday players in EA FC 25, and there are some fantastic cards.
The FUT Birthday promo is a celebration of Ultimate Team, which turns 16 this year. To celebrate the occasion, EA Sports has released some fantastic cards and some that are not so nice. All things considered, here’s my tier list grading all the cards based on how they perform in the current meta.
Disclaimer: Only includes FUT Birthday cards and ones available from packs
Complete EA FC 25 FUT Birthday players tier list
To rank the cards, I have used four grades.
- S-tier cards include players at the top of the current meta.
- A-tier cards include players close to the top but not there.
- B-tier cards contain players who are average at best.
- C-tier cards are best avoidable in the current meta.
EA FC 25 FUT Birthday S-tier list
- Haaland – 5/5 WF/Skills make this Haaland card extremely strong in the meta.
- Virgil Van Dijk – Best CB in Ultimate Team.
- Martinelli – One of the best LW items you can currently use.
- Rafael Leao – Great at ball control and speed boost.
- Zaire-Emery – Elite midfielder to dominate in the centre of the pitch.
- Jude Bellingham – Amazing midfield item that can excel as a CAM and a CM.
- Sophia Wilson – Excellent attacker who has meta playstyles and roles.
- Aitana Bonmati – One of the best dribblers you can currently use in Ultimate Team.
- Jamal Musiala – This is the German wonderkid’s best version, and it offers the new Driven Shot+ playstyle.
- Antoine Griezmann – Another elite card for the French attacker that offers great stats and playstyles.
- Nico Williams – Amazing card if you’re good with spring boots.
- Ruben Dias – Physical specimen who can win the ball quickly.
EA FC 25 FUT Birthday A-tier list
- Julian Alvarez – He is in the A-tier due to the playstyle+.
- Kerr – Lethal in front of goal with Finesse and Low Driven.
- Dimarco – Good card that’s let down slightly by poor playstyles.
- Swanson – Very good budget option for the LW position.
- Alaba – Defensively strong item that’s better suited as a LB.
- Salma Paralluelo – Versatile item than can shine in different positions.
- Alejandro Garnacho – The only negative of this card is the Acrobatic+ playstyle.
- Alexander-Arnold – Good playstyles and in-game stats.
