The FC 25 Thunderstruck Event

The FC 25 Thunderstruck tracker marks the return of Black Friday excitement in Ultimate Team, celebrating its second year running. This special EA FC 25 promotion combines standard and Icon cards that can receive upgrades based on the real-world performances of their teams in the next five league games. While the promotion runs for a limited time, big names like Kylian Mbappe and Zinedine Zidane are part of the lineup, adding to the buzz. Keep reading to learn how these dynamic upgrades function and explore the complete FC 25 Thunderstruck tracker.

Who Made It to FC 25 Thunderstruck Team 1?

In true Black Friday fashion, EA has filled the FC 25 Thunderstruck Team 1 roster with football legends from past and present. This team was launched on Friday, November 29, replacing the FC 25 FC Pro Live promo—though those cards will continue receiving upgrades through January.

The current Thunderstruck roster is led by Kylian Mbappe (ST, Real Madrid, 93) and Kevin de Bruyne (CM, Manchester City, 92). On the Icon side, stars like Zinedine Zidane (CAM, Juventus, 95) and Ruud Gullit (CAM, AC Milan, 92) are the prized additions. However, don’t hold out for a second team—this is a one-week-only event.

How Do Thunderstruck Upgrades Work?

Dynamic upgrades in the FC 25 Thunderstruck event vary for male and female players. These boosts are linked to the results of the first two domestic matches that take place after Friday, November 29. Here’s how the upgrades are determined:

Men’s Leagues

• Team wins 2 out of the next 5 league matches: 2x PlayStyles & Role+
