With the holiday season just around the corner, there are more and more promotions in EA FC 25. If the recent Globetrotters and Ultimate Succession promotions gave you a different gaming experience, the upcoming Winter Wildcards promotion (formerly known as FUTMAS) may give you an even bigger surprise!
The return of Winter Wildcards promotion will bring you a lot of special cards and a lot of festive game content. Since EA officials have not yet released the exact details of this promotion, this guide combines the many leaks on social media and the player community to summarize the following dates, principle, and the player list for you. It is worth noting that this is for reference only, and everything is subject to the last release.
Release Time
The Winter Wildcards promotion will start at 1 pm ET on December 20, which is the same day that Globetrotters promotion ends. There’s no word on how long this promotion will last, but if FC 24 is anything to go by, it’ll probably be around two weeks, ending on January 3, 2025.
All the cards in Winter Wildcards promotion will be available as two teams, so given how long the promotion will last, you’ll most likely see Team 2 on Friday, December 27.
How Does It Work?
Winter Wildcards promotion is a traditional holiday promotion that was previously called FUTMAS in EA FC games, then Freeze, and now FUT 25. Like most promotions, it offers a ton of special cards and icons that have been upgraded to add to your player packs, as well as themed Squad Building Challenges (SBCs) and objectives.
Some of the stars are expected to appear as different position cards in this promotion, with Erling Haaland appearing as both a striker and a centre-back, for example. You can expect familiar players to appear in unfamiliar positions and wait for you to spend some FC 25 Coins to bring them back to your team.
In addition, this Winter Wildcards promotion also offers some daily login rewards to let players enjoy the unparalleled festive atmosphere in this very interesting football video game - you just need to have a player complete Squad Building Challenge of the day. Not only that, there is also a new Crafting Upgrade waiting for you to explore. All you need to do is have the player complete multiple small SBCs, and you can get some player card packs and FUT 25 Coins from it.
It is worth noting that in the previous games of this series, an Advent Calendar was also launched, and new Squad Building Challenges for those improved players would drop every day until the end of the promotion. Although it is not certain what form this promotion will take, I believe that these contents are rich enough and can provide you with a great gaming experience.
Player Card List
According to the leaked information, FIFA 25 Winter Wildcards promotion will provide players including many football stars in contemporary real-life games with items with the theme of this event. Some players with multi-positional capabilities will be given two Winter Wilcards items. In addition, Icon and Hero player cards that have been sought after by players in the game are also in this Winter Wildcards promotion. In fact, as more advanced player cards, they will also be awarded two Winter Wilcards items, but one of them may be rated lower than the other.
Given that there is no definite news about which players will be in Team 1, this guide lists the players who can participate in this promotion based on the existing information, as well as their overall ratings. Once again, it is for reference only.
