A fan of Cristiano Ronaldo has cleared out his entire club in EA FC 25 to play the new card of the superstar. The community on Reddit is reacting with a lot of humor to what is probably the worst team CR7 has ever played for.
What is this new card of Cristiano Ronaldo? For the FUT Birthday for Ultimate Team in FC 25, a so-called Flashback card of Cristiano Ronaldo has been released, which is supposed to remind players of a strong version of the Portuguese striker from 2022.
The new card has received an upgrade to 93 (+7) and is said to feel much faster, more agile, and stronger thanks to new PlayStyles. However, the upgrade to the better Ronaldo version comes with a hefty price tag.
How expensive is the new card of Ronaldo? At over 2 million coins, the card, which you can only get through a Squad Building Challenge (SBC), costs a considerable amount of coins. You will need to submit a total of 21 squads, including 2 teams with a required 90 rating.
A fan indulged in this expensive fun, but aside from CR7, his team looks pretty bad.
This shows that the fan has sold his club: The Portuguese superstar is surrounded by bronze cards with a maximum rating of 64. These are probably the only players left after the sell-off for CR7. All the strong gold players and coins have gone into the SBC.
Moreover, he didn’t even pay attention to team chemistry, which could at least give his weak players a boost. Even Cristiano Ronaldo has no chemistry points. Thus, while the player owns a quite expensive team because of Ronaldo’s value, it is also one of the probably most unbalanced teams in FC 25.
Another funny detail: The user seems to have preferred to spend the last of his coins on a cosmetic evolution for his superstar. The FUT Birthday look from FIFA 20, which you see on Ronaldo’s card, costs an additional 50,000 coins.
Fans say: “He even sacrifices his managers” for CR7
In the comments of the post on Reddit, fans express their opinions on the bronze team around Cristiano Ronaldo.
- Top commentator Ariashorse first assesses CR7’s fan team and has observed a trend:
- “I have played against some people with CR7, but with a bad team. One even had an outfield player as a goalkeeper, so that’s not far from the truth.” (via Reddit)
- User Thin_Buffalo_9925 noticed that the team is still without a manager (empty space in the top left of the picture), which leads him to the following assumption:
- “The brother even sacrificed his coaches.” (via Reddit)
- Other players see primarily the positive side of the costly action:
What might encourage the impoverished owner of the new Ronaldo card: Over 1,300 people have liked his post on Reddit.
This action can once again serve as an example of how far fans of Cristiano Ronaldo go to be able to play with their idol. In which league the user competes with this team and how successful he is in general with his team is unfortunately not mentioned.
