Fc 25 Shapeshifters Team 3 rollout began with a mysterious loading screen that drew mixed reactions. The three featured cards—Kingsley Koman, Yaya Touré, and Kelly Smith—were meant to tease hype but left many players underwhelmed. Koman’s stats are solid, with 98 pace and 98 dribbling, plus top-tier playstyle boosts like Finesse Shot and First Touch. He hasn’t had a new item in a while, which gives this card some novelty. However, it’s another Bayern special, raising concerns over repetition.
Yaya Touré’s striker card is high-rated, but his stats feel built for midfield. With 96 passing, 96 dribbling, and 97 physical, many players will prefer using a CDM position change on him. His base version has been dominant all year, and this one might follow suit—especially if his playstyle package includes Anticipate or Intercept.
Kelly Smith’s inclusion confused many. Her new LB card boasts great defending and dribbling, but the playstyle pluses—Finesse, Rapid, and Pinged—feel better suited to attacking roles. Given her previous overpowered versions, this shift seems strange and not reflective of her core strengths.
Eusébio, Mané, and Casillas Highlight New Leaks
While the loading screen failed to impress, the actual leaks quickly shifted player sentiment. Eusébio’s new striker card might be the best forward in FC 25 right now: 98 pace, 99 shooting, 98 dribbling, and elite playstyles like Low Driven, Finesse, and Rapid. He’s likely to be extremely expensive but offers true endgame quality.
Sadio Mané also returns with a center-attacking mid card. While similar to his Moments SBC from January, this version has better stats and five-star potential. He features 97 pace and dribbling with playstyles like Pinged Pass and Technical, making him a top-tier CAM.
Meanwhile, a surprise came in the form of Iker Casillas getting a midfield Shapeshifter. Known for his Team of the Year GK card, this iteration gives him 97 passing and dribbling, 85 defending, and technical-focused playstyles. It’s a fresh twist on a legend, and with Icon chemistry, he could prove to be a versatile midfielder.
Women’s Path to Glory Cards: Rolfö, Guro, Harder, and More
Shapeshifters Team 3 also overlaps with the launch of Women’s Euros Path to Glory items. Top cards include Fridolina Rolfö, Guro Reiten, and Pernille Harder. Rolfö in particular is already a fan-favorite, with 94+ stats across the board and multiple meta playstyles like Anticipate and Low Driven.
The upgrade system for these live items rewards performance: scoring three goals grants a +1 overall, reaching the quarterfinals gives 5-star weak foot and a new alt position, the semifinals add another playstyle plus, and winning the final boosts them to 99 overall and icon chemistry. With multiple 96-rated starters, several cards could realistically become 98 or 99 by tournament’s end.
Despite a few questionable inclusions like Harder’s downgrade from her TOTS item, the selection offers real potential. Midema, Cascarino, and Paralluelo also headline the pool, giving players a strong reason to chase these upgrades during the event.
Market Trends, SBC Leaks, and EVO Watch
As Team 3 rolls out, investors are watching the market closely. Rivals rewards and anticipation for new SBCs have already pushed some Team 2 cards lower. However, Team 1 cards like Rashford and Konaté rebounded after dips, showing there’s still value in smart buys. Players like Isak, Valverde, and Hernández could rise again if leaks stay quiet.
High-rated fodder is another key area. 91-rated cards sit around 9,000 coins, while 94–96 Shapeshifters and Team of the Season items might be worth club-stocking if a major SBC leaks. A Yaya-style Icon SBC could spike demand, and EA has leaned into 91/92-rated squad requirements for recent high-end content.
Lastly, a new Evolution has leaked that shifts CM cards to CAM. It offers playstyles like Pinged Pass, Tiki-Taka, and Low Driven+, though the positioning and stat restrictions seem tight. Most CDMs and high-defense mids are blocked. Depending on final requirements, it may serve as a decent option for creative builds, but the value will depend on which cards qualify.
Shapeshifters Team 3 is shaping up stronger than it first appeared. Ubio, Yaya, and the new Women’s PTG items bring power and variety. Watch for more leaks over the next 48 hours, especially for the big SBC and EVO reveals. Timing the market and targeting hype cards early could pay off if EA delivers.
