EA FC 25 Eze SBC Review: A 5-Star Starboy Worth Every Coin
EA has finally given fans something to get hyped about in EA FC 25 Ultimate Team. Amidst the usual rinse-repeat content drops, they've released an Eberechi Eze Squad Building Challenge (SBC) card-and trust us, this one's a game-changer. Whether you're an Eze fan from the Premier League or just looking to inject some flair and finesse into your team, this SBC might just be the best value pick so far this season. Complete the SBC and build him with your FC 25 Coins, it's definitely worth it.
Let's break it all down: the stats, playstyles, in-game performance, and whether this card lives up to the hype.
The SBC Drop: Eze Is Here
Eberechi Eze arrives as a Left Winger, though he's incredibly flexible-he can also play Striker and Right Wing, which opens up massive tactical potential. At first glance, many players full-send the SBC before even checking stats. Why? Because this is Eze. He's five-star skill moves, five-star weak foot, and high flair. The kind of card that screams fun.
But when you dive deeper into the card, things get even better-or, depending on your expectations, a little controversial.
Playstyle Pluses & What's Missing
Let's talk playstyles first. Eze boasts some incredible PlayStyle+ traits:
Finesse+
Technical+
Rapid+
Low Driven+
That's a lethal attacking combo. It means crisp ball control, maxed-out sprinting potential, and those unstoppable low-driven shots that melt keepers in EA FC 25's current meta. But-and here's the kicker-he's missing Trickster+.
The Stats That Matter
Pace: 99
Dribbling: Elite tier
Passing: Surprisingly strong
Shooting: Clean and clinical, especially finesse and low drivens
Physical: Decent, not dominant
He's not going to body defenders like R9 or Bellingham, but he's slippery enough to avoid tackles and has just enough strength to stay upright after contact.
A Marksman chem style feels like the move-boosting shooting, physical, and dribbling to make the most of his attacking potential. For players who want even snappier movement on the wing, a Finisher could make him feel quicker off the mark and enhance that explosive burst.
Eze as a Striker (4-2-2-2 Setup)
Running Eze as the right-sided striker in a 4-2-2-2 formation? Absolute magic.
His combination of Rapid+ and Low Driven+ means he's built to get in behind, spam right trigger, and tuck it calmly into the far post. In-game, he feels fast-not Mbappe-level rapid, but definitely fast enough to outpace most defenders not named Saliba or VVD.
His first touch is sharp, his off-ball movement is intelligent, and once he's in stride, he's hard to stop. Link-up play with another technical striker or CAM (like Alise or Butragueño) makes him especially dangerous.
Eze as a Right Winger
Switching things up, Eze was also tested out wide in a 4-2-3-1 system. With a Finisher chem style, he felt noticeably more explosive. The control dribble felt silky, and hugging the touchline before cutting in made full use of his Finesse+ and Travela traits.
His ability to hug the width, drop a shoulder, and torch fullbacks (even Theo Hernández, who's no slouch) makes him a nightmare for tired defenses. And while he's not super strong, his agility and balance let him glide through traffic and escape tight markers.
What's the Catch?
Honestly? There aren't many.
Yes, he lacks Trickster+. Yes, Quick Step would've been amazing. And yes, his physicality won't bail you out if you mistime your runs. But those are nitpicks in the grand scheme of things.
The main downside is that he's not a straight-up meta-destroyer like R9 or TOTY Mbappé. If you're a hardcore elite rival grinder, you might want someone more dominant in aerial duels or with better raw power. But for 99% of players, Eze is the perfect combination of fun, flair, and functionality.
SBC Value Check
EA could've easily slapped a 400k+ price tag on him, and most players wouldn't blink. The fact that you can get him in for under 300k? It's a steal.
Final Verdict: SBC Rating-S+ Tier
Here's the bottom line:
5-star, 5-star attacker
Multiple meta PlayStyle+ traits
Deadly in multiple positionsUnder 300k SBC
Fun factor off the charts
The only things holding Eze back from GOAT-tier are the lack of Trickster+ and a bit more base physicality. But you can overlook that when you realize just how fluid and dangerous this man is on the pitch.
If you've got the fodder-or just want a dynamic super sub that can change a game-this SBC is a must-complete. Even if he doesn't start every match, he's that guy off the bench who bags a clutch goal when it matters most.
Final Thoughts
EA FC 25 is in a weird spot right now-some stale content, a few balance issues, but then out of nowhere, an SBC like this hits and reminds us why we keep playing.
Eberechi Eze is the kind of card Ultimate Team was made for. Style, skill, versatility, and just enough meta juice to stay competitive in Weekend League or Rivals. He's not just another card-he's your next favorite attacker.
