EA FC 25: Shapeshifters Return in Football Ultimate Team

If you’re a Football Ultimate Team (FUT) enthusiast in EA FC 25, you’ve probably been eagerly awaiting fresh content once Team of the Season (TOTS) wraps up.

Enter Shapeshifters—the campaign that flips the meta on its head by giving familiar faces new positions, boosted stats, and special chemistry perks.

Let’s see what Shapeshifters brings to FUT this season and how you can make the most of it.

EA FC 25 Shapeshifters

Shapeshifters items are all about unpredictability and creativity. Players (gamers) of EA SPORTS FC 25 will have:

Meta-shifting positional changes: Imagine a winger bursting into the striker position, or a midfielder moving into defense with unexpected ability. New positions can forge chemistry links in teams you never thought possible.

Upgraded stats: All Shapeshifters receive upgrades based on their new position. Perhaps a defender who was turned into a midfielder now has improved Ball Control or Dribbling; an attacker turned into full-back receives improved Stamina and Defensive Awareness.

Special chemistry boosts: Like Globetrotters cards in the previous seasons, these cards have special chemistry attributes that allow them to fit into many squad builds and thus easily be included in hybrid squads.

New PlayStyles and Roles: EA FC 25’s PlayStyles system does this best. Shapeshifters usually receive new or additional PlayStyles that fit their new roles, and Role tags so you can refine instructions (e.g., a winger converted to a “Wide Forward” in a narrow team setup).

Shapeshifter ICONs & Heroes: The return of fan-favorite Heroes or iconic ICONs in Shapeshifter form generates hype. Imagine an ICON renowned for controlling the midfield suddenly re-emerging as a defensive midfielder with altered attributes—or a Hero whose dribbling and speed are reassigned to a surprise new position.

The event runs for a number of weeks. Season 8: Shapeshifters has already started during Ultimate TOTS, so you have a head start on upcoming items.

Look for two new narrative-focused EVOs in week two, where you finish missions to evolve a base Shapeshifter item into an even more powerful version.

This EVO dynamic introduces additional interactivity: you’ll want to strategize your matches and resource expenditure to make the most of those evolutions.

UEFA Women’s EURO 2025
