FC 25 Coins

As EA Sports FC 25 Season 5 progresses, the long-awaited new promotion Grassroot Greats is about to debut. This event was previously confirmed by FUT 25, and it will meet players this week.

This event is centered on nostalgia and classics, aiming to bring back legendary players in Ultimate Team history who have conquered players with high cost-effectiveness or super powerful strength. Many players are concerned about which players will be selected for this event, and various leaks are emerging as the event is approaching. So are there any players you like among these leaked players?

Date

Grassroot Greats event is expected to be officially launched on February 14, 2025, replacing Future Stars promotion that ended at the same time. Grassroot Greats event will last for a week. After this event, it may be Road to the Final, taking over the second half of Season 5 of FIFA 25.

In addition, Future Stars is being held. The players in this event also have very good data. They can definitely become one of the core players in your team. When Grassroot Greats event starts, the players in Future Stars will be removed from the shelves. Players who want to get Future Stars should quickly use your FC 25 Coins to unlock your favorite players!

The theme of Grassroot Greats event is to pay tribute to the classics, focusing on those players who have left a deep mark in the history of Ultimate Team. These players may not be top stars in reality, but because of their super attributes in the game, such as Race, shooting or physical advantages, they have become the king of cost-effectiveness or even the most popular players in the player’s lineup. For example, Gervinho, Doumbia, Ibarbo of Roma trio in FIFA 15 or Alexander Esswein in FIFA 13 have become players’ nightmares with their low prices and amazing performance.

Leaked Players

Although EA has not yet officially announced the complete list, multiple leaks have revealed some core players and card design directions. Even when the official promotional video for Grassroot Greats was released in January, a leaked list was leaked:

• Doumbia
• Gervinho
• Ibarbo
• Franz Beckenbauer
• Diego Maradona
• Alexis Mac Allister
• Juninho
• Ian Wright
• Roberto Baggio
• Foudy
• Didier Drogba
• Jaap Stam
• Bruno Fernandes

This list was leaked too early and may be different from the real list. But Diego Maradona is definitely on the list for this event. Because he is the cover character this time.

As early as 2022, EA had to remove Diego Maradona from FIFA 22 due to some legal issues. His 91, 95 and 97 cards were all removed from Ultimate Team.

Diego Maradona’s return is undoubtedly one of the biggest highlights of this event. His card may be 96 OVR Icon. What’s even more surprising to players is that EA FC 25 leaker Fut Sheriff revealed that the free Maradona Evolution is likely to appear in the game. Players only need to log in on a specific date to get it.

In addition to Diego Maradona, the following players have a high probability of appearing in Grassroot Greats:

• Seydou Doumbia (94 OVR): A representative of the speed striker in FIFA 15 era.
• Gervinho (93 OVR): A winger with strong breakthrough ability.
• Victor Ibarbo (92 OVR): A stadium warrior known for his physical confrontation and running.
• Franck Ribéry (96 OVR): Icon card, strengthens dribbling and passing attributes.
• Didier Drogba (96 OVR): Has a powerful header like a beast.
• Roberto Baggio (96 OVR): Outstanding set-piece and ball control ability.
• Bruno Fernandes (92 OVR): Enhanced shooting and Skill moves.
• Alexis Mac Allister (92 OVR): A midfielder with both offensive and defensive capabilities.

Grassroot Greats players are all very powerful this time, covering almost every position on the pitch. If you can get one of them, your team’s strength will usher in a qualitative leap. If you have a lot of FIFA 25 coins, then this event is the best time to use them.

In addition, the card design this time will be integrated with a retro style. Some players adopt the classic style of their peak season, such as Maradona’s 1986 World Cup image. And all cards are equipped with exclusive PlayStyles+ enhanced skills, such as Maradona’s Trickster+ or Drogba’s Aerial+.

FC 25's continuous activities may have drained your FUT 25 coins. You can visit IGGM Discord, where there will be some lucky draws from time to time. Maybe you will be the lucky one and get some coins here.

How To Get Grassroot Greats Players?

High-rated Icon cards are expected to require many coins or FIFA 25 Points. Players are advised to accumulate reward packs through Squad Battles or Champions mode.

Common cards of historical classic players may be popular in the transfer market. Players who don’t need these cards can exchange them to accumulate some FUT coins. In addition, if active players are not included in the event, the coins you need to exchange them in the transfer market may be reduced. You can exchange some of these players to prepare for the next event.

Grassroot Greats is not only a nostalgic feast for EA FC 25 but also a response to the needs of Ultimate Team community players. The emotional needs of old players are met, and it also provides new players with the opportunity to experience previous versions. In addition, the return of Maradona marks the reconciliation between the developer and the football player’s copyright holder, and more legendary stars may be introduced in the future.

After a round of preheating for Future Stars in EA Sports FC 25, players can’t wait for the second batch of Future Stars players to join. It is expected that these talented players will officially join FUT 25 through Future Star Icons this week.

It is very regrettable that there are many young and excellent football players, but the number of Future Stars this time is indeed limited. At present, part of the list has been leaked, and some players have not been announced. We can still make some guesses.

Leaked List

• Amad Diallo: 92
• Bradley Barcola: 91
• Joao Neves: 91
• Linda Caicedo: 91
• Pau Cubarsi: 90
• Fowler: 90
• Kouassi: 89
• Pavlovic: 89
• Kerkez: 89
• Cata Coll: 88
• Khusanov: 88
• Murillo: 88
• Cresswell: 87
• Bakayoko: 87
• Paula Tomas: 87
• Andrey Santos: 87
• El Khannouss: 87

This list leaked a lot of players and also gave their total score predictions. However, before the list is officially released, players should not believe it completely. If there is a player you like, you can start preparing FIFA 25 coins for him or her now.

As the player with the highest total score on this list, Amad Diallo undoubtedly attracted most of the attention. Amad Diallo’s performance in the field is perfect. No matter how bad the situation is, he dares to attack when he gets the ball. His skills are absolutely unparalleled. If this card is given a five-star weak foot or high agility, it will definitely become the savior of Manchester United players!

Paul Kubassi has established a foothold in Barcelona first team at the age of 18. His defense is comparable to that of a veteran, and his angles of passing are also extremely tricky. With his height and defense, he may be able to compete with Van Dijk. Players who want to build a Barcelona team should not be stingy with your FUT 25 Coins!

Alexander Pavlovic is a fierce player in Bayern’s midfield. He is extremely good at stealing and his long passes are fast and far. If this card’s body is given above 90, coupled with Bayern’s chemistry, you will not be able to leave this card!

Joao Neves is a treasure midfielder that Paris Saint-Germain dug from Benfica. At the age of 19, he dared to confront those old-timers in Champions League! In Ultimate Team, Joao Neves may be an all-around warrior, both offensive and defensive, coupled with Paris’s luxurious frontcourt. His strength will definitely open your eyes!

Future Stars Icons

• Luis Figo
• Samuel Eto’o
• Rio Ferdinand

Compared to the young people above, these Icon players don’t even need an introduction. They are considered the best players in their respective positions. Luis Figo is a legendary right winger who is the absolute core of the team in both Barcelona and Real Madrid.

Forward Samuel Eto’o’s speed on the court is comparable to that of a cheetah. When he was in Barcelona and Inter Milan, he had almost no opponents. If you want to build a team that relies on speed, then choosing Samuel Eto’o will never be wrong.

Rio Ferdinand is a legendary CB in Manchester United. He is strong and smart. Opponents will feel desperate when facing such a defense.

The three of them may appear in SBC challenges or packs in FIFA 25. They are definitely worth your investment with FC 25 coins!

Prediction

Most of Future Stars players have been officially confirmed, but there is still room for speculation on some players. Here is the speculation of the complete list of players:

• Mary Fowler: ST Manchester City Women
• Murillo: CB Nottingham Forest
• Vicky Lopez: CM Barcelona Women
• Kobe Manu: CDM Manchester United
• Naomi Laizer: CB Manchester City Women
• Archie Gray: CDM Tottenham Hotspur
• Samu Omorodien: ST Porto
• Connor Bradley: LB Liverpool
• Giorgio Scalvini: CB Atalanta
• Mattis Tell: ST Tottenham Hotspur
• Bradley Bakola: LW Paris Saint-Germain
• Amad Diallo: RW Manchester United
• Paulo Kubasi: CB Barcelona FC
• Alexander Pavlovic: CDM Bayern Munich
• Joao Neves: Midfielder Paris Saint-Germain

Mattis Tell had been sitting on the bench at Bayern before. After being picked up by Tottenham, he became the new hope of North London. Although he didn’t play much, his shooting was incredibly stable. If Mattis Tell could be one of Future Stars players, he may get a high shooting score in FUT 25.

Important reminder! As soon as the second team goes online on February 7, the first team’s card packs will be directly removed from the shelves! If you want super players like Lamine Yamal, Endrick, seize the last chance! Don’t wait until they are removed from the shelves to regret it!

The second Future Stars team will be removed from the shelves on February 14, and you only have one week to get these cards. Then there will most likely be new events such as Road To The Final or Grassroot Greats. EA FC 25 has confirmed that these events will be logged into the game later. If you want to stock up on coins, you can wait and see, but Future Stars player cards are definitely one of the strongest cards at present. Get them early and enjoy them early.
