FC 25 Immortals Team 2 guide

The Become Immortal evolution was launched in EA Sports FC 25 in April 2025. Immortals Team 1 had an incredible lineup of players to strengthen your Ultimate Team. In the second week, Immortals Team 2 was released by EA, which had some of football's best names from both past and present.

Team 2 has higher-rated players and a better combination of both men's and women's legends. Let’s follow LDShop to get to know the best players from Team 2, briefly describe the Become Immortal Evolution system, and give you some insights on which player to go for if you are trying to strengthen your FUT or thrive in SBCs.

Immortal Cards Overview

Immortal Cards are higher rated ICONs and Heroes cards you can play in your Ultimate Team. They come in two forms. First, you have "Junior" cards, the early-going, young version of them. Then there are the "Icons" cards, the full-on prime version of them. These cards come with optimized shooting, speed, ball control, and physicality stats that can give you an extra boost during tight games, especially ranked ones.

Icons

Pelé (97 OVR)

Pelé is the most legendary player in Team 2. He has the best rating with a massive 97 OVR. Pelé's card is almost flawless, providing 95+ stats in pace, dribbling, shooting, and passing. He is very versatile since he can play as CAM and CF. With his agility and skill moves, Pelé is ideal for possession-based and fast counter-attack playstyles.

Mia Hamm (96 OVR)

EA has added one of the greatest female strikers of all time, and has made her card one of the team’s highest-rated cards. At 96 pace and 96 shooting, she is an accurate finisher and a quick winger. Her acceleration and agility stats make her ideal for one-on-ones out on the wing.

Eusébio (96 OVR)

This Portugal forward has an excellent 96 OVR card. His powerful and long-range shot skills make him a perfect striker or second striker. His excellent dribbling statistics ensure that it is extremely tough for the defenders of other teams to get the ball back from him, giving you a huge advantage in front of the goal area. Eusebio’s SBC is very expensive as you have to complete 14 segments and play with a 91 OVR squad.

Gianluigi Buffon (95 OVR)

Buffon is one of the few goalkeepers in Team 2. With a 95-rated card, your defense will be protected by an actual legend. Buffon's diving, reflex, and positioning can make him a true game-changer between the posts.

Lothar Matthäus (94 OVR)

Matthäus is an absolute beast in the midfield. Although he is a CM, he can also play effectively as a CDM. His defending, agility, and passing stats makes him perfect for box-to-box roles. His positioning and work rates make him one of the most tactical players in Ultimate Team.

Zico (94 OVR)

This Brazilian CAM can be your main creative playmaker. He can offer a good mix of dribbling, passing, and finishing, and is valuable in the central attacking midfield roles. He also possesses some excellent free kick stats, making him a good asset for the team.

Paolo Maldini (94 OVR)

Paolo Maldini is one of the best defenders in football history. EA has given Maldini’s Immortal card some outstanding stats in tackling, marking, and composure. He’s an ideal CB in any high-pressure system and performs excellently in both high-line and deep-line tactics.

Jairzinho (93 OVR)

Jairzinho adds flair and explosiveness to the right wing. With 93 pace and solid physicality, he can outmuscle and outrun defenders. His high dribbling stats and ability to shoot from distance make him a consistent threat to your opponent.

Camille Abily (93 OVR)

This French midfielder offers you a very balanced card. She has great stamina, excellent technical stats, and amazing versatility which lets her play as CM, CAM, or even CDM. Abily’s inclusion adds a refreshing diversity and her playstyle matches with a lot of modern dynamic midfielders.

Wayne Rooney (93 OVR)

Rooney’s 93 OVR card reflects his peak years as a striker at Manchester United. With strong shooting and physical attributes, he plays best as a center-forward or second striker. His aggression and flair also reflect his real-life energy on the pitch.

Kelly Smith (93 OVR)

Smith is one of the best goal-scoring midfielders in the women’s game, which is highly reflected in this card. With 90+ in shooting and dribbling, she’s a fantastic CAM option with the pace to drift into attacking roles.

Alessandro Del Piero (92 OVR)

Del Piero is an elegant player with excellent ball control. His 5-star weak foot ability and finesse shot trait make him perfect for edge-of-the-box finishes. If you like precise build-up play, Del Piero is going to be a great pick for you.

Luis Hernández (91 OVR)

The Mexican striker’s Immortals card smashes the pace and agility stat counter. He can manage through balls and close control inside the box excellently, and is very efficient in counter-attacking formations.

Junior Icons & Heroes

Team 2 also introduces early-career versions of the legends, such as Kelly Smith (90 OVR), Lothar Matthäus (90 OVR), Wayne Rooney (89 OVR) and Zambrotta (89 OVR). These versions are obviously not as great as the prime versions of the players, but still highly usable and way better than normal cards.

The Heroes include DaMarcus Beasley (92 OVR), Javier Mascherano (92 OVR) and Damarcus Beasley (Scottish League version, 90 OVR). These cards are especially useful in themed squads or for full-chemistry league teams. If you think that there are other players that will match your playstyle better, you can always go for an FC 25 top up, which you can use to buy players of your own choice. The best platform to make the top-up is LDShop, it lets players top up for less and it is a great way to save money.

Become Immortal Evolution Overview

With the Become Immortal Evolution, you can upgrade these legendary cards by completing challenges. Discussing all objectives would take up a whole new article. However, in general, each Immortal card has an associated path that can include playing matches in specific modes like Rivals or Champions, fulfilling targets like scoring a specific number of goals and assists in a specific given difficulty level, and completing objectives with certain team setups.

Once you complete these challenges, you can get a lot of upgrades to your cards. The upgrades that you can get generally include stat boosts in pace, shooting, or passing. You also get additional traits like Finesse Shot, as well as Skill Moves and Weak Foot upgrades.

Best Strategies

There are many ways you can play with these amazing cards. However, there are a few ways by which you can maximize your team’s efficiency.

• Use Pelé and Eusébio as your primary attackers in a two-striker system.
• Place Mia Hamm or Jairzinho on the wings for pace-driven play.
• Use Matthäus and Abily as a dynamic midfield duo in 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 formations.
• Use Maldini as your defensive anchor and Buffon as your goalkeeper for maximum stability.

Conclusion

Team 2 of the FC 25 Immortal Evolution brings some of football’s greatest legends into Ultimate Team. With top-rated players and exciting upgrades and related challenges, you get to experience both power and nostalgia. Whether you're a competitive player or a fan of iconic stars, this team is worth building around and enjoying.
