EA FC 25 Futties Team 5 release date, predictions, and expected FUT content
The last week of Futties is upon us, with EA Sports set to reveal the EA FC 25 Futties Team 5 squad later this week.
Unlike the Shapeshifters promo, Futties has maintained its excitement in EA FC 25 Ultimate Team since its release, despite the promo continuing for over a month in-game. More 99-rated Futties Icons and players were released as part of EA FC 25 Futties Team 4 last week, and very soon, more should hit the Ultimate Team store as part of EA FC 25 Futties Team 5.
EA Sports has confirmed that Team 5 will be the final Futties squad released in EA FC 25, with eyes starting to turn towards EA FC 26 in the promo that follows Futties. Here's everything we know about the upcoming EA FC 25 Futties Team 5 promo squad, including the release date, leaks, predictions and expected Ultimate Team content.
EA FC 25 Futties Team 5 release date
The EA FC 25 Futties Team 5 squad release date will be Friday, August 8 at 10am PDT / 1pm EDT/ 6pm BST, replacing the Team 4 squad currently in packs. This will be the last Futties squad to be released, with a new promo squad set to be released in its place.
Thursday, August 1, is when a new FC Season will start in Ultimate Team, with leaks suggesting the new season will be called Pre Season.
EA FC 25 Futties Team 5 predictions
It seems every player in the game has been given a Futties item by this point, but this is a prediction of who we want to see in the EA FC 25 Futties Team 5 squad, along with some Futties Icons and predicted player ratings:

EA FC 25 Futties Team 5 expected content
The 'Best Of' Batch 3, released last week, will remain in packs alongside Futties Team 5, so no new promo cards will be re-released into packs. More Futties players will be released as SBCs and Objectives, both regular players and Icons.
Huge upgrade packs will be released as SBCs, including guaranteed Futties player picks, and EA will continue to keep Evolutions active, with daily Evolutions expected. With the new season beginning during Futties Team 5, some new promo cards, which are expected to be based on summer transfers, should also start to appear in the Objective rewards menu.

Archetypes are new to EA FC 26, but they can be slightly confusing to understand at first (Image: EA Sports) The way players progress in Clubs and Player Career Mode has been completely overhauled in EA FC 26, with the skill tree being replaced by a new upgrade feature, Archetypes. EA Sports has started to reveal all about EA FC 26 over the last few weeks, with excitement starting to build ahead of the newest EA Sports FC release. From deep dives into EA FC 26 Ultimate Team, EA FC 26 gameplay and EA FC 26 Career Mode, EA has confirmed every new feature coming to the new game, but one of the biggest updates, Archetypes, was first announced in the EA FC 26 Clubs deep dive. Replacing the long-standing Skill Tree feature, EA FC 26 Archetypes are the new way to evolve your players in Clubs and Player Career Mode, defining how your player grows with each Archetype having signature PlayStyles, gameplay perks, unique attributes and weaknesses, along with three specialisations. This is everything you need to know about EA FC 26 Archetypes, including all 13 Archetypes and what each one does. READ MORE: EA FC 26 beta – how to get a closed beta code and when codes will be released READ MORE: EA FC 26 hands-on first impressions – I played the new game early, and EA has delivered When you first enter EA FC 26 Clubs, you'll be prompted to select one of 13 Archetypes as your first Archetype. Don't worry, this won't be the only Archetype you have for the rest of the game - the other 12 Archetypes can be earned with Clubs Coins, FC Points, or Archetype Unlock consumable items that can be found as rewards. You will earn Archetype XP (AXP) from every game of Clubs you play, both regular games and Clubs Rush. The more you play, the more AXP you can collect. The following factors decide how much AXP you earn: Your Role Rating - The majority of your AXP earnings will come from your Role Rating. The higher rating, the more AXP you earn.

Your Gameplay Actions - You will earn a small amount of AXP for every action you complete in a match. You will earn a small amount of AXP for every action you complete in a match. Match Type - Your AXP earned depends on whether you're playing a Clubs League, Playoffs, Friendly, Drop-In, Clubs Rush, or Live Event match. AXP can also be earned by playing Skill Games, though this will be very limited compared to other match types. Once you've earned enough AXP, your Archetype will move up to the next level. As you level up, you can earn rewards that will help you upgrade your attributes and abilities. These include the following: Attribute Points (AP) - AP can be spent to upgrade your attributes, taking you one step closer to unlocking more PlayStyles or even a Specialisation.

Signature Playstyles Upgrades - Each of your Signature PlayStyles will upgrade to a PlayStyle+ Each of your Signature PlayStyles will upgrade to a PlayStyle+ Unlock Signature Perks - Unlock extra Signature Perks Unlock extra Signature Perks Customizable PlayStyles Slots - Gain additional slots to further personalize your Archetype's PlayStyles. When EA FC 26 is launched, each Archetype can be upgraded from level 1 to level 50, but throughout the season, the maximum level will increase along with more changes and updates to Archetypes. Every Archetype has a set of unique PlayStyles, with these automatically unlocked and ready to use, and as you progress, these will upgrade to PlayStyle Plus'. Customisation is still available, though, because even though these signature PlayStyles can't be removed, they can be swapped once you unlock and equip different Specialisations for those Archetypes. You can upgrade any attributes you want with Archetypes. When you level up your Archetype, you receive Attribute Points (AP) to upgrade attributes. Once you increase an attribute, the AP cost for further upgrades will also increase, making it harder to reach those higher levels. Upgrades made are permanent, but if you want to reallocate your points, you will need to request an Archetype Reset (using Clubs Coins or a Reset Consumable), which returns all previously spent AP to your wallet. Here's a list of all 13 EA FC 26 Archetypes, along with a description of each and the signature PlayStyles that come with them. Unphased when faced with an attacker one-on-one, can be relied upon to make difficult saves. Signature PlayStyles: Footwork and Far Reach. Description: A modern-day ''keeper, comfortable with the ball at their feet, and with a high defensive line. Signature PlayStyles: Cross Claimer and 1v1 Close Down.

Description: Possesses a killer instinct in front of goal - a beast when one-on-one with the ' PlayStyles: Low Driven Shot and First Touch. Description: Classic hold-up player that harnesses their physicality in duels both on the ground and in the PlayStyles: Power Shot and Precision Header. Unlike in EA FC 25, you can't just have any PlayStyle you want. Now, to unlock a PlayStyle, you need to upgrade the relevant attributes to a certain level. For example, to unlock Dead Ball, you must first upgrade the attributes below. FK Accuracy - 75 Crossing - 80 ShotPower - 80 While Signature PlayStyles cannot be removed, you do have the option to swap them out for a different PlayStyle+ once you unlock and equip a Specialisation for that Archetype, giving you some flexibility in customising your items as you advance.

EA FC 26 Ultimate Team new features – new game modes, repeatable Evolutions and Rivals overhaul
EA Sports has gone all out with the new additions coming to Ultimate Team in EA FC 26. Ultimate Team is the biggest game mode in EA Sports FC, and some massive changes are coming in EA FC 26. On a recent trip to the EA Sports HQ in Vancouver, I was able to not only play EA FC 26 for the first time, but also find out all there is to know about EA FC 26 Career Mode changes, Clubs changes, and the biggest of them all, Ultimate Team. EA has put big emphasis on listening to community feedback in EA FC 26, and based on the changes coming to EA FC 26 Ultimate Team, this is reflected. From new gameplay, Evolutions updates and improved Division Rivals, these are 30 changes coming to Ultimate Team in FC 26. EA FC 26 Ultimate Team changes These are all the changes coming to Ultimate Team in EA FC 26. EA has added a few new ways to play Ultimate Team while also upgrading other features, so all in all, these changes are very exciting. Competitive gameplay –the return of pace Gameplay will be faster in Ultimate Team thanks to the new competitive gameplay. In EA FC 26, there will be two types of gameplay, competitive and authentic. While Authentic is a slower version of the game, more suited for Career Mode, Competitive is much faster, giving the gameplay a more arcade-like feel. This suits Ultimate Team perfectly. Live events and tournaments Live events and tournaments will be a big focus in EA FC 26. These new tournaments are high-stakes knockout events where you can play up to four rounds, ending with an epic final. To make matchmaking fair, you'll always play someone who's at the same round as you. There will be exclusive rewards available for tournaments, while EA will keep things fresh by having special squad requirements and objectives. Each tournament will have a limited number of entries, and once you win the tournament, you can't enter again. Another new live event coming to FC 26 Ultimate Team is the Gauntlet. A series-based event where you play up to five games, but every game you must use a new squad, with no player able to be used twice. The aim is to win as many games as you can to earn better rewards. Other live events will be available but locked, and you can only unlock entry to these by completing certain objectives. These events are intended for elite competition, so think of it as the top four get Champions League spots in the Premier League. Only the best of the best will qualify. At the end of each FC Season, more live events will be released that are intended to "bring the community together", whatever that means. FUT Champs overhaul FUT Champs is being overhauled in EA FC 26. Towards the end of EA FC 25, the FUT Champs play-offs became a bit of a chore, but this is no more, with play-offs being removed completely. A new FUT Champions competition will also be released, called FUT Champs Challengers. This will be released along with the regular FUT Champs, with players in Divisions 10 to Division 6 in Rivals qualifying for FUT Champs Challengers. This simply allows players in lower divisions to still have the chance to compete in FUT Champs. Of course, the rewards won't be as good as the main event, so you can't drop down from Division 1 to Division 6 in the hope of easing your way to 15-0 and amazing rewards. FUT Champs is also getting a visual update in EA FC 26, so expect to see a new-look menu and layout. Make Rivals great again With no more FUT Champs Play-Offs, Rivals is now more important than ever before to qualify, and some big changes are being made. You can now get win streak bonuses in Rivals, where you can climb up to two stages and earn double Rivals points. Your opponent will also be told if you are on a win streak, vice versa. There are limited checkpoints in Rivals. These can act as a cushion and tell you how many games you can afford to lose before you are threatened with relegation. It got frustrating if you were on a losing streak in Rivals in EA FC 25, because you could play five games and get nothing to show for it. This is changing in EA FC 26 thanks to a new feature called Bounties. The bounty system will see players given challenges to earn extra Rivals points, meaning even if you lose, you can still get points towards your weekly total. Some examples of Bounties are Clean Sheet, so keep a clean sheet, Domination, which is win by two goals or more, First Strike, which is score first, Scoring Streak, which is score two goals in a row, and Last Strike, which means score last. These are good because, say you are losing 4-0 and you score in the 90th minute to make it 4-1, you may have lost, but you will still earn Rivals points. Some of the rewards for competing bounties are coins, packs, Rivals stage skips and Rivals weekly rewards points. Rivals points earned from Bounties can be added to your total tally, so if you win a game of Rivals and also complete a bounty for two Rivals points, you would get five Rivals points from one game. When you are playing for a bounty, your opponent is also playing for the exact same one, so a cool bit of extra competition is added to the game. Winners don't quit, and quitters don't win If a player quits a game while drawing, a win will be awarded if the game is either in the second half, a red card has been handed out, or a penalty has been given. EA has also updated this, so even if a player quits through the menus or by turning their console or PC off, the win will still be given. Players who quit games in Rush repeatedly will be given matchmaking timeouts. Timeouts get longer and longer if the player continuously quits games Evolutions are better than ever Evolutions have been updated for EA FC 26, with the ability to evolve goalkeepers now included. But, even though you can play as a goalkeeper in Clubs Rush, you can't in Ultimate Team. Repeatable Evolutions are coming to EA FC 26, meaning you can use the same Evolution on multiple players rather than just as a one-off. And visually, you can now stack Evolution upgrades. This means, if you completed a Future Stars-themed Evolution and then a Centurions Evolution after, rather than losing the past cosmetic design, the two will be combined and stacked. And everything else There's a new competitive camera being added to Ultimate Team, which can only be used in Ultimate Team. EA is also pushing a less-is-more philosophy with content in FC 26. This doesn't mean fewer promos, but instead, the upgrades each week will be smaller, meaning the power curve will increase more slowly. EA discussed with us the potential of adding dynamic images to cards in Ultimate Team, and even though they confirmed it wasn't discussed for EA FC 26, they didn't deny that it could happen in the future. It was also confirmed that the Icon player item included in the FC 26 Ultimate Edition pre-order bonuses is a pack, not a player pick, while EA has confirmed that Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Alex Morgan, and Toni Kroos are all new Icons for FC 26, with more set to be announced soon. To get players into games quicker, 3D team sheets have been removed, with 2D team sheets returning, and even though crossplay has been around for a while now, the transfer market will not be shared between console and PC in FC 26, which I think is a good thing. Lastly, FUT Moments will still be in EA FC 26. Although it's not a competitive game mode, EA sees it as the perfect way to introduce new players to the game who are playing and learning for the first time.
