What is FUTTIES?
FUTTIES is a season-ending promotion in Ultimate Team that dates back to FIFA 15. It’s designed to let the community relive the best moments of the year, vote on their favorite players, and receive some of the wildest cards EA has ever released. It often lasts 4 to 6 weeks and is known for:
Massive player upgrades, including 99-rated versions
Pink-themed FUTTIES cards
Fan voting for favorite players to receive special items
SBCs and Objectives galore
“Best Of” re-releases from previous promos like TOTY, TOTS, and more
Whether you’re a competitive player or a casual fan, FUTTIES turns FC 25 into a wild party of nostalgia, overpowered cards, and non-stop content.
When is FUTTIES FC 25 Expected to Launch?
Based on the yearly pattern and the current calendar, FUTTIES is expected to drop on Friday, July 12, 2025 at 6 PM UK time. This date aligns with:
The end of Shapeshifters Team 2
The final weeks of FC 25’s life cycle
Historic launch windows (FUTTIES launched mid-July in FIFA 23 and FIFA 22)
With FC 26 on the horizon, FUTTIES is EA’s way of keeping the player base engaged and entertained before attention shifts to the next title.
What Content Can We Expect?
1. FUTTIES Fan Favorites Voting
A core feature of FUTTIES is community voting, where fans choose from nominees who performed well throughout the cycle. EA usually presents themed votes like:
“Best Ligue 1 Winger”
“Most Popular Premier League Defender”
“Best Silver Star”
Winners receive a special FUTTIES item with insane upgrades — usually 95+ rated with boosted weak foot and skill moves.
> 🔥 Prediction: Expect votes on stars like Rafael Leão, Nuno Mendes, Valverde, and Jude Bellingham.
2. Premium FUTTIES Players
These are special versions with 5★ skill moves and 5★ weak foot, designed for the endgame meta. Premium FUTTIES players link like Icons, giving green chemistry to any player from the same league.
We can expect:
SBC-based releases every few days
Insane stats (think 99 pace, 99 dribbling)
Full attacking arsenals
> 🧠 Look out for popular names like Kylian Mbappé, Cristiano Ronaldo, Vini Jr., and Erling Haaland to headline Premium SBCs.
3. Best Of Re-Releases (Batch 1–3)
Perhaps the most exciting part of FUTTIES: the return of top-tier promo players. EA typically re-releases 200+ players across 3 batches including:
TOTY Mbappé
TOTS Bellingham
Shapeshifters Ronaldo
Fantasy FUT Griezmann
Winter Wildcards Neymar
These players are back in packs, allowing players who missed out during the year to pack them again.
4. SBC and Objective Overload
FUTTIES is a grinder’s dream. Expect tons of:
Daily SBCs
Upgrade packs (81+ x11, 85+ x10, etc.)
Repeatable high-tier packs
Icon & Hero Player Picks
Objectives for FUTTIES cards
This promo rewards active players who are willing to grind menus and complete SBCs daily.
