FC 25 FUT Birthday guide and full cards list
Haaland and Ronaldinho get massive boosts in your FC 25 FUT Birthday guide

The big FC 25 FUT Birthday party keeps noisy rumbling on, with Team 2 adding Virgil Van Dijk, Yaya Toure and David Beckham to the festivities. This EA FC 25 campaign celebrates 16 years of Ultimate Team, and all featured players receive both 5-star weak foot and 5-star skill moves. Scroll on for full details, along with the complete FC 25 FUT Birthday cards list.
What is FC 25 FUT Birthday?
Ah, where have you been for the last decade and a half? FUT Birthday is the annual celebration of Ultimate Team, to mark its launch back in March 2009. That’s right, this year the biggest mode in sports turns 16, and naturally it means a shedload of flash new cards to grab off the transfer market, or claim by submitting SBCs. Icons, Heroes and contemporary players all get new items in the promo, which runs for a fortnight.
Who is in FC 25 FUT Birthday Team 1?
FC 25 FUT Birthday Team 1 landed on Friday, March 7, picking up where the FC 25 FUT Fantasy FC tracker left off – although there is still time for cards during that campaign to score upgrades, so keep checking back. FUT Birthday cards can’t score additional boosts like FC 25 RTTF, but they don’t need to anyway. These are already some seriously OP players.
Top of the Team 1 Icons list is Brazilian great Ronaldinho (LW), with a new overall rating of 94. French talisman Patrick Vieira (CM) runs him close, on 94. From the Heroes contingent, a trio of past Premier League favourites are tempting: Ramires (CM, 94), Jay-Jay Okocha (CAM, 93), and Ledley King (CB, 91). It’s another Prem star who fronts the modern-day player list: Manchester City’s Erling Haaland (ST), with a fresh 95 OVR. Sophia Wilson (ST, Portland Timbers-Thorns) is the best female player in the campaign, with a rating of 94. All Team 1 players can be seen on the card list at the foot of this guide.
What is the FC 25 FUT Birthday Team 2 release date?
The FC 25 FUT Birthday Team 2 release date was Friday, March 14, and again we got a mammoth mix of Icons, Heroes and modern faves. The top-rated Icons are Kenny Dalglish (ST, Scotland) and David Beckham (CM, England) with overall scores of 94. A trio of Roma Heroes get an OVR of 93: Seydou Doumbia (ST), Gervinho (LW), and Victor Ibarbo (RW).
The highest-rated player of all is Virgil Van Dijk (CB, Liverpool), on 95. But even the comparatively low-scoring items, such as Antoine Semenyo (RM, Bournemouth) on 88, can add depth to your first eleven or subs bench. All Team 2 items are now on the full cards list at the foot of this guide. Need even more FUT goodness? Try our FC 25 best badges guide.
What’s so special about FC 25 FUT Birthday cards?
Traditionally this is always a massive campaign, but there’s an extra twist this year. Every single FUT Birthday card gets both 5-Star Skill Moves, and 5-Star Weak Foot. And you can make the most of that new upgrade using GR’s FC 25 skill moves guide.
Where can I see the full FC 25 FUT Birthday cards list?
The full FC 25 FUT Birthday cards list, correct as on Sunday, March 16, is below. Icons are marked with two asterisks, while Heroes are marked with one. If you’ve just packed a FUT Birthday player and now want him to look swish on the pitch, venture to our FC 25 best kits guide.
