I know we keep saying we’re getting excited about EA FC 25 promos, but this latest one is colossal.

Yes, Winter Wildcards is back, and there are FORTY-TWO (42!) amazing new cards for players to work towards — with plenty of Premier League stars among them.

Not only does Erling Haaland get a 94-rated ST card, but the fun of wildcards is that he’s got an alternative card that’s also 94 but it makes him a pacy center-back.

Elsewhere Barcelona duo Frenkie De Jong and Caroline Graham Hansen get upgrades, while Vinicius Jr. has a 93 rated LW card — and a ST one.

The event will run alongside the Mode Mastery event, and runs for two weeks given the development team is likely to be on break for Christmas.

Don’t forget the latest Team of the Week is also in packs right now.

It’ll run for two weeks.
