FC 25 Ultimate Succession promo and new Player Roles guide

The FC 25 Ultimate Succession promo ended after one week, but it still features plenty of useful cards to deploy through Christmas and beyond. Ronaldinho, Lionel Messi and Lamine Yamal were among the big adds from this EA FC 25 campaign, which attempted to link great players from the past with the best wonderkids in the modern game. We have full details below, as well as the final FC 25 Ultimate Succession cards list.

Who is in FC 25 Ultimate Succession Team 1?

FC 25 Ultimate Succession Team 1 landed on Friday, December 6, and features a curious mix of standard players, Heroes, and Icons. The idea here is that sets of players are loosely tied together – for instance, Ronaldinho (LW, Brazil, 94) paved the way for Lionel Messi (CAM, Inter Miami, 92), whose twinkle-toed performances in La Liga are now being emulated by Lamine Yamal (RW, Barcelona, 89). Similarly, Selma Bacha (LB, Lyon, 89) is the successor to Sonia Bompastor (LB, D1 Arkema, 87). It’s not the most cohesive of promo ideas, but there are some cool items. You can see them all on the full cards list at the foot of this guide. 

What is the FC 25 Ultimate Succession Team 2 release date?

There is no FC 25 Ultimate Succession Team 2 release date. This was a one-week only deal. If you’re still thirsty for new cards, don’t forget both the FC 25 Thunderstruck tracker and FC 25 FC Pro Live tracker still have plenty of time to run. Ultimate Succession's end date of Friday, December 13 saw it replaced with another all-new promo: FC 25 Globetrotters.

What are the new FC 25 Ultimate Succession Player Roles?

There are indeed two new FC 25 Player Roles, added permanently as part of the Ultimate Succession campaign. The official EA description for each is below. You can earn an Evolution for each to apply to one player in your club by completing Max Tactics objectives in FUT. You need 10 wins for Classic 10, and to play 14 matches for Wide Half. For gameplay help, use GR’s FC 25 tips guide. 

• The Classic 10 for the CAM position, a traditional attacking midfielder who is the main hook of attacking play. 
• The Wide Half for the CDM position, a defensive player who covers the sides of the pitch and can help in build-up play.
