FIFA Ultimate Team (FUT) mode celebrates its birthday and we get the gifts. For the weekend, EA Sports released the second FUT-Birthday Team, which once again includes some absolute masterpieces.

The birthday cake for FUT Birthday in FIFA 20 is virtual. And the card design of the latest promotion in the popular sports game comes in a delicious cake look. However, the new special cards not only look good enough to eat, they also have a lot to offer.

The FUT Birthday Team 2 with Van Dijk and Bale

This year, EA Sports is turning the promotional campaigns in FIFA 20 upside down. Accordingly, the celebrations for the birthday of the popular FUT mode are different than we thought in mid-March .

After all, this year there is again a team with particularly strong special cards from popular players – to be more precise, even two teams. For the weekend, the developers released the second selection, which has some real delicacies in store.

Instead of just focusing on improved stats, this year players will get a boost to their skill moves or weak foot . Highlights of the second FUT Birthday team are central defender Virgil van Dijk from FC Liverpool, who impresses with an overall rating of 93 and 5 stars weak foot.

Frenchman Paul Pogba got an even bigger boost from Manchester United, whose overall rating rises from 88 to 92. The improved stats and also 5 stars weak foot make the central midfielder with his new special card one of the best options in his position. With around 2.7 million coins currently on the PS4 and Xbox One transfer market, Pogba is by no means a bargain.

This is what the FUT Birthday Team 2 looks like

The second FUT Birthday team consists of eleven players, with Danny da Costa (87) from Eintracht Frankfurt and Maximilian Eggestein (86) from SV Werder Bremen even two Bundesliga players made it into the selection.

FIFA 22 – FUTs

What could be cooler than just relaxed gaming and doing some sofa sports on the side? In FIFA 22, the player is on the move fast, but without getting sore muscles. With the Ultimate Team Event cards, the collecting instinct is now also satisfied. However, the FUT Heroes keep creeping into my mind, so here are the best Ultimate Team Event cards that are definitely worth adding to your collection.

Heroes cards selected by EA for top qualities

Admittedly, the FUT heroes will cost quite a bit of coin, but it turns out that EA has once again brought some top-class players into the game when it comes to selection. As a collector and hunter, it’s an added attraction for FIFA gamers to now include their own favorite heroes in the portfolio and benefit from their individual skills. Both in the game and in team building, the FUTs will revolutionize the game once again.

EA SPORTS FC: FIFA GAME SERIES TO BE CONTINUED UNDER NEW NAME

Of course, the soccer simulation game series will not be discontinued completely. After FIFA 23, EA will relaunch the game under the name EA Sports FC and market it independently. Old FIFA hares should now become quite an ear, after all, the EA Sports Football Club used to be a part of the actual game for years. A lot of playing was rewarded, points could be collected and items, boosts or balls for the individual game modes could be unlocked.

In this context, there could also be a complete revolution of the classic game. There is a heated discussion in the FIFA community about whether the game, which is expected to be released in the fall of 2023, will be free-to-play. This option is said to be on the table for the game makers from EA, because: It seems that EA earns most of its money with the purchases of FIFA Points in the game mode Ultimate Team and not with the sale of the game itself.
