FC 25 – Is Ultimate Team Better Than Ever?

EA Sports FC 25 is pushing the boundaries of Ultimate Team once again with the highly anticipated Futties promo—an end-of-cycle celebration that showers the community with fan-favorite players, upgraded ratings, pink cards, EA FC 25 Coins and jaw-dropping SBCs. The latest tracker update has sent shockwaves through the FC community by introducing three electrifying 99-rated players: Pelé, David Ginola, and Kylian Mbappé. These cards are not just status symbols—they’re meta-defining, endgame monsters that can completely transform your squad.

In this article, we’ll break down everything you need to know about the new 99-rated additions, how to get them, their in-game stats and traits, and what this means for the FC 25 Ultimate Team meta moving forward.

What is the Futties Promo in FC 25?

The Futties promo is the ultimate fan-service event in EA Sports FC, taking place every year toward the end of the game's cycle. Players vote for their favorites, participate in themed SBCs, complete reward-packed objectives, and access some of the best cards of the year—often with extreme stat boosts, flashy pink card designs, and 5-star skill/weak foot upgrades.

This year's Futties campaign has been particularly explosive, featuring daily SBCs, Evolutions for previously overlooked players, and a constant flow of re-released promos like TOTY, TOTS, and Path to Glory. However, nothing has matched the hype of this week’s tracker update that added 99-rated versions of three of the most popular players in football and Ultimate Team history.

99-Rated Futties Pelé

The legend of legends, Pelé, has been granted a 99-rated Futties Icon card that solidifies him as the pinnacle of attacking prowess in FC 25. While his previous TOTY and Icon Prime versions were already elite-tier, this new pink Futties card elevates him beyond imagination.

Key Stats:

Pace: 99

Shooting: 99

Passing: 98

Dribbling: 99

Physical: 85

Weak Foot: 5★

Skill Moves: 5★

Why It Matters:

Pelé’s Futties card is the dream card for any formation. Whether you play him as a CAM, CF, or ST, his near-maxed stats make him perfect for tight-space dribbling, long shots, and surgical passing. With 99 agility, 99 balance, and 99 finishing, he performs like a cheat code, especially in Division Rivals or Champions Playoffs.

How to Get Him:

Currently, 99 Futties Pelé is only available in packs and as a limited-time SBC rumored to drop later this week. With repeatable 88+ x10 SBCs also active, many players are hoping to pack him before the promo cycle ends.

99-Rated Futties David Ginola

David Ginola is back with vengeance in FC 25, boasting a 99-rated Futties Heroes card that has made him a top-tier pick for FUT Champs and Weekend League squads. Known for his strength, flair, and dual 5-star abilities, this version of Ginola is absurdly powerful.

Key Stats:

Pace: 98

Shooting: 97

Passing: 96

Dribbling: 99

Physical: 93

Weak Foot: 5★

Skill Moves: 5★

Why It Matters:

Ginola’s Futties card is a complete package—he can bulldoze through defenses, hold up play, and unleash finesse shots from outside the box. His unique body type and smooth animations make him feel like a faster, stronger CR7 with Zidane-like creativity. He can play CAM, LW, or ST, and shine in all of them.

How to Get Him:

Ginola’s 99-rated card is currently in packs only, but leaks suggest that an SBC version could arrive in the second wave of Futties celebrations. With Hero upgrades and Chemistry Link Evolutions available, he also benefits from being French and Ligue 1, unlocking full chemistry for a variety of squads.

99-Rated Futties Kylian Mbappé

Perhaps the most anticipated pink card of the year, 99-rated Kylian Mbappé is now live in the Futties tracker—and he might just be the best striker in the game. Mbappé already had an absurd Team of the Year and TOTS card, but this Futties version maxes out every key stat and adds dual 5-star abilities.

Key Stats:

Pace: 99

Shooting: 99

Passing: 93

Dribbling: 99

Physical: 90

Weak Foot: 5★

Skill Moves: 5★

Why It Matters:

Mbappé’s meta-defining pace and movement make him nearly uncatchable. His Futties version amplifies this with elite passing, perfect dribbling control, and clinical finishing. The upgraded physical stats also allow him to shield better and win more 1v1 duels against top CBs like TOTY van Dijk.

How to Get Him:

Mbappé is only available in packs as of now, but a “Player Pick” SBC is rumored where you’ll be able to select between 98 and 99-rated versions based on your preference or pack luck. If you have the fodder, it might be worth saving it for this challenge.

Implications for the FC 25 Meta

With all three 99-rated Futties cards now in circulation, the meta is entering its final form. Teams are rapidly becoming “endgame” with full pink lineups featuring Icons, Heroes, and Evolutions. The power curve has essentially been broken—but in a way that feels celebratory rather than oppressive.

This period of Ultimate Team is less about climbing the ladder and more about having fun, trying out wild squad combinations, and collecting your favorite players in their most juiced form. The 99 Futties cards are emblematic of that fun—it’s the sandbox phase of FC 25, and players are loving it.

Final Thoughts

The arrival of 99-rated Futties versions of Pelé, Ginola, and Mbappé is a bold and exciting move from EA Sports, injecting fresh energy into Ultimate Team as FC 25 winds down. Whether you’re a competitive player hunting glory in Champs Finals or a collector chasing the ultimate card gallery, these pink superstars represent the best of the best.

If you’ve saved fodder or have Fut 25 Coins stacked up, now’s the time to dive into upgrade SBCs, complete swaps, and grind objectives. With powerhouses like these in the pool, every pack is a potential game-changer.

Stay tuned to the Futties tracker—because more 99-rated madness is almost certainly on the horizon.
