Leroy Sane is the first standout player to grace the calendar, with more exciting additions anticipated. Read on for the complete breakdown of this Christmas promo, including the full cards list.
What is the FC 25 Winter Wildcards Promo?
The Winter Wildcards promo is EA’s big holiday offering, following the success of FC 25 Globetrotters. It features an impressive selection of new cards across multiple categories, blending classic Icons, Heroes, and current stars. Players are treated to dual-position options, like Erling Haaland, who is available as both a striker (ST) and a centre-back (CB).
This promo bridges the end of 2024 and the start of 2025, ensuring fans have plenty to engage with during the festive season.

Released on Friday, 21 December, the first team of Winter Wildcards has some serious headliners. Brazilian icon Ronaldo takes centre stage with two variations of his striker card (95 and 90 ratings).

Notable Heroes include Eden Hazard (LM, 91) and Yaya Toure (CDM, 90), both from the Premier League. With such star power, Team 1 has set the bar high for the rest of the promo.
