After a long and action-packed Team of the Season (TOTS) grind, EA Sports FC 25 is finally shifting gears into its next major Ultimate Team promo- and this one is a fan-favorite. The Shapeshifters promo is back and already generating major buzz in the FUT community. Known for its chaotic and creative card transformations, this promo flips the script on familiar players, shifting them into brand-new positions with custom stat boosts to match.

Here's everything we know so far, including leaked players, the release date for Team 1, and what fans can expect as this multi-week event kicks off.

What Is the Shapeshifters Promo in EA FC 25?

Shapeshifters takes real-world footballers and puts them in unexpected positions, transforming how they play in-game. For example, a center back might become a goalkeeper, or a striker could become a holding midfielder. Along with the position swap, these cards receive boosts tailored to their new roles, often resulting in wildly overpowered and creative versions of players we already know.

It's a promo designed to break the meta and give players fun, fresh ways to build their squads- and Team 1 is no exception.

Leaked Shapeshifters Team 1 Players

The following players have been leaked by trusted FC community sources such as @FutSheriff and FIFA Trading Romania, both of whom have consistently provided accurate information ahead of schedule.

While these leaks are unofficial until confirmed by EA, here are the players expected in Shapeshifters Team 1:

Confirmed/Leaked Icons & Heroes:

·Icon Diego Maradona- Position TBD (Likely more offensive tweaks, possibly a full CAM or even striker)

·Icon Patrick Vieira- Possibly CB or more attacking CM role

·Hero Vincent Kompany- Premier League representation, potential new role outside of CB

Leaked Current Players:

·Harry Kane (Bayern Munich)- Central Midfielder

·The England striker reportedly moves into a deeper midfield role with major boosts to passing and defending. Think of him as a playmaker-style CDM or CM.

Jonathan Tah (Bayer Leverkusen)- Goalkeeper

·One of the wildest leaks so far: Tah, a towering CB in real life, will suit up between the sticks as a GK. Expect elite reflexes and handling stats to make this card usable and fun.

Michael Olise (Bayern Munich)- Position TBD

·Likely an inverted winger or possibly striker. Olise's base card already has agility and flair; this shapeshifted version could push him into elite-tier territory.

More players are expected to be revealed as the week progresses. EA usually holds back a few surprises for SBCs and Objectives, so don't be shocked if more icons or fan-favorite FUT heroes make surprise appearances.

When Does Shapeshifters Team 1 Start?

The official launch for Shapeshifters Team 1 is set for:

·Friday, June 13, 2025

·1:00 PM ET / 6:00 PM BST

This is in line with EA's usual content drop times and follows the traditional Friday promo launch cadence.

How Long Will the Shapeshifters Promo Last?

According to in-game leaks and promo objectives, Shapeshifters will run for at least three weeks, likely divided into:

·Team 1- Launching June 13

·Team 2- June 20

·Team 3 or SBC/Objective-focused week- June 27

That would put the promo wrapping up in early July, just in time for speculation and early news surrounding EA Sports FC 26 to kick off.

What to Expect from the Promo:

·Wild Position Changes- Expect everything from center backs playing striker to wingers turned wingbacks.

·Unique Chemistry Links- Shapeshifters usually come with special chemistry setups that make them easier to slot into hybrids.

·Upgraded Stats for New Roles- Expect appropriate and powerful stat shifts. A defender turned striker will get a boost in finishing, pace, and dribbling, while a striker turned CDM may receive buffs in interceptions and physicality.

·New Packs, SBCs, and Objectives- Shapeshifters will bring themed Squad Building Challenges and unique Objective cards each week. Daily content is expected to stay consistent.

Final Thoughts

The return of Shapeshifters is shaping up to be one of the most entertaining promos of EA Sports FC 25 to date. With players like Maradona, Vieira, and even Jonathan Tah as a goalkeeper, this event will bring plenty of surprises and shake up the Ultimate Team landscape in the lead-up to FC 26.
