After weeks of celebrating the conclusion of the soccer season with the Team of the Season promo, EA FC 25 has shifted gears with the return of a fan-favorite summer event: Shapeshifters. The first team in the promo brought some jaw-dropping player items like Diego Maradona, Harry Kane, and Vincent Kompany, sparking plenty of buzz across the Ultimate Team community. But the excitement isn't stopping there- Shapeshifters Team 2 is on the horizon, and the leaks are already rolling in.

Here's everything you need to know about EA FC 25 Shapeshifters Team 2, including early player leaks, what the promo is all about, and when to expect it to drop.

What Is the Shapeshifters Promo?

The Shapeshifters promo is a long-standing Ultimate Team event that takes real-world footballers and reimagines them in completely new positions. Defensive midfielders become attacking full-backs, strikers get shifted to the wing, and sometimes, even goalkeepers step onto the pitch in outfield roles.

But it's not just about a change in position-Shapeshifter cards are fully redesigned, with boosts to attributes that reflect their new roles. Pace, shooting, passing, or defending stats are all adjusted to match the new position, leading to some truly wild and creative squad-building opportunities.

Leaked Players for Shapeshifters Team 2

As is tradition with Ultimate Team promos, trusted community insiders such as FUT Sheriff and FIFA Trading Romania have leaked several high-profile names expected to headline Shapeshifters Team 2. While these leaks are not officially confirmed by EA, these accounts have proven accurate time and time again.

Leaked Shapeshifters Team 2 Players:

·Johan Cruyff (Icon) - Netherlands: Reportedly shifted to a winger role, expect a big boost in pace and crossing.

·Ronaldinho (Icon) - Brazil: Always a fan favorite, this version could find him in an unorthodox spot like central midfield or even defense.

·Theo Hernandez - AC Milan: A pace merchant at left back in his base form, but the Shapeshifter version could push him further upfield into an attacking role.

·Rodri - Manchester City: Rumored to be moving to center back, a rare transition that turns a deep-lying midfielder into a defensive powerhouse.

These are just the early names that have been leaked. More are expected to be revealed in the coming days, possibly including additional Icons, FUT Heroes, and top-tier current players from Europe's biggest clubs.

Shapeshifters Team 2 Release Date

Shapeshifters Team 2 is expected to go live on:

·Friday, June 20th, 2025

·1:00 PM ET / 6:00 PM BST / 10:00 AM PT

The promo follows the usual Ultimate Team pattern of Friday drops, with Team 2 replacing Team 1 in packs. Based on in-game Objective trackers and the seasonal timeline, we can expect at least one more week of Shapeshifters content afterward-possibly including themed Squad Building Challenges (SBCs), new Evolution cards, and bonus rewards, FC 25 Coins.

What Makes Shapeshifters So Popular?

1. Unique Card Designs - The vivid green aesthetic and bold stat boosts make these cards highly collectible.

2. Wild Position Changes - It's one of the few promos where players are completely redefined.

3. Squad Variety - Shapeshifters unlock creative team building, breaking the mold of standard formations and chemistry.

4. Icon Refreshes - Seeing legends like Cruyff and Ronaldinho in new roles adds even more variety to the Ultimate Team meta.

How to Prepare for Shapeshifters Team 2

Want to get ahead of the curve before Team 2 drops? Here's how:

·Stack Packs - Save high-rated packs and promo packs to open on release day.

·Liquidate Unused Assets - Sell off cards that are likely to be cheap Fut 25 Coins once the market floods with new Shapeshifters.

·Monitor Objectives - EA often ties free Shapeshifter players or XP boosts to limited-time challenges.

·Keep an Eye on SBCs - Expect high-value SBCs around the promo, possibly including a Player Pick or Guaranteed Shapeshifter Pack.

Final Thoughts: What's Next for EA FC?

With Shapeshifters Team 2 set to launch June 20th and another week of content likely afterward, the FC 25 cycle is reaching its final sprint. Once we head into July, all eyes will turn to EA FC 26, where we'll likely see new gameplay reveals, Ultimate Team changes, and pre-order bonuses.

For now, Shapeshifters provides a perfect excuse to dive back into Ultimate Team. With Icons like Cruyff and Ronaldinho rumored to join the fold and position-swapped stars like Rodri and Theo Hernandez, there's never been a better time to try something new on the pitch.
