The FC 24 FUT Birthday promo is over, but what a monster selection of new cards it delivered. That was to be expected, given that thisEA Sports FC 24campaign marked 15 years of Ultimate Team. Every one of its fresh items contained either 5-star skill moves, or 5-star weak foot – and most are still available on the transfer market. We take you through how it all worked in your FC 24 FUT Birthday guide.
What is FC 24 FUT Birthday?
As it says on the tin, FC 24 FUT Birthday celebrates 15 years of Ultimate Team, and continues the FIFA tradition of unleashing insanely OP cards into packs. The campaign launched on Friday, March 15. UnlikeFC 24 FUT Fantasythese items aren’t upgradeable, but there’s still good reason to hunt them down in packs or on the secondary market. All receive boosts to either 5-starFC 24 skill moves, or a 5-star weak foot.
FC 24 FUT Birthday Team 1 more than matched the hype, serving up new items for Inter Miami legend Lionel Messi (CF, 94), Manchester City talisman Kevin de Bruyne (CM, 93), and Spurs favourite Son Heung-Min (ST, 91). Alas, these cards aren’t going to come cheap though. As of night one, Messi’s Ultimate Birthday item was retailing for 14 million coins on the secondary market. All Team 1 players can be found in the full cards list at the foot of this guide. Wanna make some moolah, fast? Try our guides toFC 24 best kitsandFC 24 best badges.

The list is spearheaded by Dutch maestro Ruud Gullit, with an overall rating of 94 – and it’s a score shared by France hero Thierry Henry.

FC 24 FUT Birthday Team 2 was released on Friday, March 22 and delivered another tasty mix of Icons and contemporary players.

All players from Team 2 have now been added to the full cards list at the foot of this guide.
There’s an element of player choice to certain FC 24 FUT Birthday cards. Karim Benzema and Bukayo Saka are among those who have a pair of items available, each with a particular strength for you to choose from. For example, Benzema’s FUT Birthday cards are both rated 93. However, one has 5-star skill moves, while the other boasts 5-star weak foot. It’s a similar deal for Saka, Rose Lavelle, Lorenzo Insigne, Rodrygo, Robin Gosens, and Felipe Anderson.
Below are all the FC 24 FUT Birthday cards released as of Sunday, April 21. Icons are marked with an asterisk.
