One of the most sought-after strikers in the summer transfer market has finally received his well-deserved upgrade in EA FC 25. In Ultimate Team, you can get the German shooting star of the Bundesliga season 2024/25 for free, along with a significant improvement compared to the real player.
What kind of top striker is this? Nick Woltemade was among the best and most consistent players, especially in the second half of the Bundesliga season. Recently, the 1.98 m tall striker also stood out at the U21 European Championship and was considered one of the best players of the tournament.
With strong performances, Woltemade has attracted the attention of various clubs. Currently, Germany’s attacking hope is said to be in agreement with Bayern Munich, but the transfer is still pending due to discussions over the transfer fee between VfB Stuttgart and Bayern Munich.
Despite 17 goals and 3 assists in 33 matches in league and cup, Woltemade had not yet received a special card with upgrades in FC 25. However, his first improved card is all the more impressive.
How good is the upgrade? The new Futties version of Woltemade received a rating upgrade of +26 compared to the silver card. You can see how significantly the stats have improved in the comparison:
Until now, Woltemade had to settle for a silver card with a 69 rating in FC 25 Ultimate Team. The new card can even compete with the current meta.
How do you get Woltemade’s upgrade? You can find the better version in the standard Season Pass of Season 9 in FC 25. You will receive Woltemade at level 5 (5,000 SP), completely free of charge. The only thing you need to do is: Choose the German striker Woltemade over Lingard during the player selection.
You can earn the necessary Season Points (SP) through tasks in Ultimate Team, Clubs, or Career mode.
After the short video, we will show you how the upgrade affects gameplay and which major weakness is eliminated.
Upgrade eliminates major deficit, makes striker a jack-of-all-trades
What deficit is eliminated? Woltemade is among the slower players in the Bundesliga. According to statistics, he ranks only 249th in the Bundesliga with a speed of 32.98 km/h. The fastest player runs over 4 km/h faster.
In FC 25, Woltemade brings a crucial advantage over his real-life pace. The PlayStyles “Raserei” (Gold) and “Schneller Schritt” (Silver) give him a speed boost in both acceleration and top speed.
Thus, he can perfectly implement his already strong speed stats of 95 in the game and can even create a gap between himself and the defenders.
Why is Woltemade a jack-of-all-trades? The new card reflects very well what distinguishes Woltemade on the real football pitch. Thanks to his physical attributes, he has many strengths and few weaknesses.
At 1.98 m tall, Woltemade possesses strong physicality and can shield the ball very well with the PlayStyle “Ruhepol”. He also knows how to assert himself in aerial duels, as he gains additional jumping power with the PlayStyle “In der Luft”.
Despite his bulk, the striker can also impress with dribbling. With his PlayStyles “Tricks” and “Technik,” you can overcome opponents with close ball control and skill moves.
As a true goal scorer, Woltemade masters the most relevant goal-scoring PlayStyles even in Gold with “Flacher Vollspannschuss” and “Angeschnittener Schuss” to accurately place his shots.
However, Woltemade is not just a cold-blooded finisher; he can also set up his teammates well. He is assisted by the “Schnittellenpass” (Gold) and “Entscheidender Pass” (Silver).
Woltemade is also a special striker in FC 25. Hardly any player brings such a complete package of physicality, good ball handling, strong vision, and a keen sense for goals. Especially towards the end of FC 25, he is an interesting card to try something new in attack.
