The Birthday promo is back in EA FC 24 to celebrate 15 years since Ultimate Team was first introduced, and this year's line-up of players is a doozy.

The promo comes with the regular skill move and weak foot boosts, but this year there are more players than ever, marking this the biggest single drop of new players in the history of the game

I love the Birthday promo as there are plenty of new players and, alongside the squad that's released in packs, there are also plenty of fresh cards released as SBCs that show off some of the best cards in recent years. Fingers crossed for another cracked Dimitri Payet who could bang goals from anywhere.

As was to be expected, this promo has introduced some genuinely elite players with a new Messi and De Bruyne being introduced - both with five-star weak foot and skill moves. On top of that, Saka will be a very exciting addition alongside Son.

You might notice in the list above that some players are receiving two different cards in this promo. That’s because they will be slightly different. For example, there are two Benzema cards, one with five-star skills and one with five-star weak foot.

As always, the version with skill moves will be of higher value but I can’t resist a nice two-footed player. Team 1 is no longer in packs.

  • Sadio Mane (Al Nassr/Senegal) x2
  • Phil Foden (Manchester City/England) 
  • Leon Goretzka (Bayern Munich/Germany)x2 
  • Mykhailo Mudryk (Chelsea/Ukraine) x2
  • Marco Reus (Borussia Dortmund/Germany) 
  • Eder Militao (Real Madrid/Brazil) 
  • Geyoro (PSG/France) x2
  • Jonathan David (LOSC Lille/Canada) 
  • Mapi Leon (FC Barcelona/Spain) 
  • Mallory Swanson (Chicago Red Stars/USA) 
  • Arnaut Danjuma (Everton/Netherlands) 
  • Jordi Alba (Inter Miami/Spain) 
  • Ainsley Maitland-Niles (Lyon/England) x2
  • Tojan Buchanan (Inter Milan/Canada) 
  • Reijnders (AC Milan/Netherlands)
  • Giacomo Raspadori (Napoli/Italy) 
  • Amaiur Sarriegi (Real Sociedad/Spain) 
  • Florian Kainz (Köln/Austria) 

Team 2 of the Birthday event marks another massive drop of players and despite how good they are, it still feels like Team 1 was a touch better. The star of the team will undoubtedly be Mo Salah, although I would love to get my hands on the Foden card.  

Anyone who is on the hunt for a central midfielder is in luck with Goretzka, Geyoro and Frankie De Jong all being complete midfielders/ Even the AC Milan midfielder Reindeers looks to be a solid option.
