Winter Wildcards promo explained
Originally called FUTMAS, and later Freeze, Winter Wildcards is EA FC 25’s festive promo. As always, it delivers plenty of upgraded special cards and Icons that will be added packs for players to hunt down, as well as themed SBCs and objectives.
In fact, some players will reportedly feature more than once, as FUT Sheriff has claimed that Erling Haaland is set to appear as both a striker and center-back. This could open the door for other familiar faces to pop up in unusual positions.
In an effort to spread some holiday joy, there will also be daily login rewards that you’ll be able to earn by simply submitting one player into an SBC. Leaks have also revealed a new Crafting Upgrade to grind, where you’ll be required to complete a huge number of small SBCs to tick off objectives and earn packs.
