EA Sports has dropped another fan-favorite into the FUTTIES promo, and this time it's the FC 25 Lois Openda FUTTIES SBC. The Belgian striker is back with a stunning 97-rated card, making him one of the most dangerous attacking options currently available in FC 25 Ultimate Team.

 

Known for his blistering pace and multiple overpowered versions throughout past FIFA cycles, Openda's new card gives him the push he needed to re-enter the current meta. This release has already caught the attention of competitive players and casual fans alike, especially those looking for high-value upgrades without draining their FIFA 25 Coins.

 

Why Lois Openda Is Back in the Meta

 

Lois Openda's popularity in FC 25 is no surprise, he's been a consistent go-to for players who want pure speed combined with clinical finishing. Earlier this year, he received a 94-rated SBC item during the Bundesliga Team of the Season event, but with so many heavily boosted FC 25 Players flooding the market during FUTTIES, that card quickly fell behind in terms of competitiveness.

 

This new 97-rated FUTTIES version is a complete game-changer. EA Sports has delivered massive upgrades to his pace, shooting, dribbling, and passing, ensuring he can go toe-to-toe with the best strikers in the game. Add in five-star skill moves and a five-star weak foot, and you've got one of the most complete forwards available right now.
