FUT Birthday is one of the staple promos of every EA FC title, bringing in cards with max skill and weak foot rating. For FC 26, we will also get to choose PlayStyles for any of the active player cards.
Whether this is EA signaling a rest in the PlayStyle meta, where there will be no single extremely overpowered PS for a position, or just wanting to monetize the game further by potentially locking them behind a paywall and absurd grind, remains to be seen.
For now, check out all the players that have been leaked for the upcoming FUT Birthday Team 1.
