FC 25 Shapeshifters Team 4 kicked off Ultimate Team's big July, preparing the former FIFA community for the imminent arrival of Futties. Among the last batch of EA FC 25 items with new roles on the pitch are Eric Cantona in a deeper CM slot, and Jeremy Doku recast as a central striker. Full details of the campaign are below, along with the complete FC 25 Shapeshifters cards list.

What are FC 25 Shapeshifters items?

FC 25 Shapeshifters see popular players moved to different positions, and given stats upgrades as well as fresh Roles and PlayStyles. Some of these are fairly logical: moving Diego Maradona (Icon, 98) to LW, or enabling Michael Olise (FC Bayern, 97) to play up front. Others waver between the sublime and the ridiculous: for instance, both Ibrahima Konate (Liverpool, 95) and Vincent Kompany (Hero, 95) see themselves reinvented as goalkeepers. It’ll certainly make for an eventful summer. If you need gameplay help with these guys, dip into our FC 25 tips and FC 25 meta guides.

Who is in FC 25 Shapeshifters Team 1?

FC 25 Shapeshifters Team 1 arrived on Friday, June 13, bringing an end to the beloved FC 25 TOTS tracker. Unlike FC 25 FUT Fantasy FC there are no dynamic items here, but that’s hardly an issue – almost all the cards on offer will march straight into your Division Rivals or weekend league team. Maradona is the top-rated on 98, a figure he shares with Konate, Kane, and Antoine Griezmann (CAM, Atletico Madrid). They’re just ahead of Patrick Vieira (ST, France), Mia Hamm (CM, USA), and a bunch of contemporary players who all earn scores of 97.

What is the FC 25 Shapeshifters Team 2 release date?

The FC 25 Shapeshifters Team 2 release date was Friday, June 20, and the full set of cards is now included in the list at the foot of this guide. Surprisingly, it was followed by FC 25 Shapeshifters Team 3 on Friday, June 27, featuring Eusebio (LW, Portugal, 98) and Yaya Toure (ST, Premier League, 97). That same date also brought us the Women's Euro 2005 FC 25 Path To Glory tracker. We then got the promo's final squad, FC 25 Shapeshifters Team 4, on Friday, July 4.

What’s all this about an FC 25 Shapeshifters David Beckham Icon leak?

The big story in the build-up to the promo was an apparent David Beckham SBC leak. It was proven to be correct, with the former England captain getting a new 96-rated card whose default position is RM. The set of Squad Building Challenges cost around 172,000, but expired on Friday, June 27.

I'm GamesRadar's sports editor, and obsessed with NFL, WWE, MLB, AEW, and occasionally things that don't have a three-letter acronym – such as Chvrches, Bill Bryson, and Streets Of Rage 4. (All the Streets Of Rage games, actually.) Even after three decades I still have a soft spot for Euro Boss on the Amstrad CPC 464+.
