Dynamic Upgrade Mechanism
The dynamic upgrade mechanism is the core selling point of Fantasy. Players can upgrade the card attributes based on the performance of players and their teams in real games by obtaining event cards (including active players and Heroes). The specific rules are as follows:
Active players: Up to +4 upgrades can be obtained, and the trigger conditions include:
- Personal performance: 3 appearances (+1), goals/assists (offensive players) or zero seals (defensive players must play at least 60 minutes) (+1).
- Team performance: The team wins 2 games in 4 league games (+1), and the cumulative goals are ≥11 (+1).
Heroes: The upgrade limit is +2, which is only related to the performance of a former club that he played for in his career:
- The former club won 2 games (+1), and the cumulative goals were ≥11 (+1).
It is worth noting that the upgrade statistics are limited to the four domestic league games (such as Premier League, La Liga, etc.) after the launch of the event, and the game time must be after the card is released. For example, if a player scores in the league on February 22, and the player’s Fantasy card is launched on February 21, this performance will be counted towards the upgrade conditions.
Possible Players
Although EA has not yet officially announced the full list, through some player information revealed by reliable whistleblowers such as @DonkTrading and @FutPoliceLeaks, we can guess which players will appear in this list.
Heroes
Joe Cole
Team: England, former Chelsea/Liverpool
The leak shows that his Fantasy Hero card rating may reach 90, with key attributes including 93 dribbling, 91 pace, and a Technical+ PlayStyle that enhances ball control.
Eden Hazard
Team: Belgium, former Real Madrid
As the first Hero to join Fantasy, his card design has been exposed, which may be related to Chelsea or Real Madrid’s performance.
In addition to the two hero players mentioned above, there are some other heroes that are also in the hot predictions: David Ginola (Tottenham), Rudi Völler (Leverkusen), Ledley King (Tottenham)
Active Players
Heung-Min Son
Team: Tottenham
Heung-Min Son has been very stable this season, and he may appear in FUT 25 as a high-rated forward card.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia
Team: Napoli
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is a rising star in Serie A. His performance on the field is not inferior to that of veterans. Perhaps his Fantasy dynamic card can become one of the strongest wingers.
The two defensive midfielders of Real Madrid’s Aurélien Tchouaméni and Chelsea’s Moisés Caicedo are also expected to achieve a leap in attributes through team performance.
In addition, female football players such as Crystal Dunn (USA) and Chloe Kelly (Manchester City Women) may also join, as FIFA 25 has been trying to balance the number of male and female players in recent years.
