EA Sports has launched a wave of surprises with the new Immortals promo in FC 25, and the community is buzzing. Yesterday saw a leak followed by an official teaser revealing a position-changed Gareth Bale card—now a left back. Not only is Bale featured, but he’s coming in two versions: the “little bro” with a 90 rating, and a higher-rated “big bro” version. The downward-pointing arrow on his card indicates he’s the more affordable, more packable variant.

The excitement doesn’t stop there. EA also teased massive names like 96-rated Beckenbauer and R9, setting the stage for one of the most hyped promos of the year. This promo isn’t just flashy; it’s driving serious market movement, especially with EVO leaks fueling speculation.

FC 25 EVO Leaks Hit the Market Hard

Yesterday saw two significant FC 25 EVO leaks: a center back EVO and a center mid EVO, both with big implications for trading and investments. The center back evolution appears to be for max 89-rated players, with restrictions around pace and physical stats. This caused prices for cards like Rio Ferdinand and Van Dijk to spike dramatically—Ferdinand jumped from 213K to over 370K before settling near 350K. Van Dijk saw a similar swing, fueled by rumors and evolving eligibility criteria.

Some key leakers, reported that this center back EVO requires max 89 overall, max 89 physical, and max 87 pace. That excludes popular options like Bombito and Stam but includes cards like Joe Gomez. While official release details weren’t confirmed yesterday, the leak pattern suggests that the EVO could drop soon—possibly today.

The second leaked EVO targets center midfielders and looks to be capped at 88 overall. It hasn’t caused as much market movement, but it still holds potential. Fut Police confirmed players like Gavi (88-rated) as eligible, but Jude Bellingham and others with higher stats don’t qualify. This EVO might not offer as much hype but could still be useful for players with club-stocked midfielders.

New SBCs and Market Strategy for FC 25 EVO Players

EA also dropped a standout SBC in the form of Philip Lahm. Priced at just 170,000 coins and requiring only seven squads (ranging from 82 to 87), this Icon SBC has excellent value. With four-star skills and five-star weak foot, Lahm can slot into LB, RB, or CDM roles effectively. Although missing a few key playstyles like Relentless or Jockey, his value and versatility make him a must-complete for budget or themed squads.

Another highlight is the Road to the Final Esmee Brugts SBC. This 70,000-coin SBC could be a huge win if Barcelona’s women reach the Champions League final, boosting her to 96 overall with a third playstyle plus. She’s highly versatile, able to play LW, LM, LB, and ST, with strong traits like Quickstep and Pinged Pass.

The 88+ Mixed Campaign Player Pick also returned with additions like Future Stars and Grassroots Greats. It costs two 85-rated squads and offers good fodder value, though it’s downvoted on FUTBIN—likely because players are saving packs for Immortals.

Bale, Beckenbauer, and the Immortals Promo

EA officially teased Gareth Bale as part of the Immortals lineup, featuring a position-changed version at LB. He’s confirmed to have both “little bro” and “big bro” versions, continuing a trend seen in past promos like Trophy Titans and Golazo. The 90-rated “little bro” Bale is expected to be EVO-eligible, adding even more reason to chase him in packs.

Confirmed players include Thierry Henry, Beckenbauer, R9, and the first Immortals Hero, Ginola. Henry’s TOTY card dropped from over 6 million coins due to market impact. Ginola’s price is also falling as players expect a better version soon. Ultimate Team now groups packs by type, making saved packs easier to find. This long-overdue change helps with Immortals and Team of the Season prep.
