Immortals Team 2 has appeared in EA FC 25. We present to you 5 upgrades for new players that are really worth it.
What is Immortals? Immortals is a two-week promo that celebrates the greatest legends in football history in Ultimate Team. Accordingly, during Immortals, there are special versions of Icons and Heroes, with ratings well over 90.
After strong players like Ronaldo, Beckenbauer, and Henry were available in Team 1 during the first week, Team 2 offers more ultimate legends like Pelé, Eusebio, and Matthäus.
The strongest Icons and Heroes from Immortals Team cost several million coins. However, not all upgrades have a significant impact on gameplay. We present to you 5 Immortals who benefit the most from the upgrades.
Which 5 Immortal upgrades are really worth it?
In the following, we show you the players whose card after the Immortals upgrade is significantly better than their best previous card in Ultimate Team. We compared the following factors:
- Stats
- PlayStyles
- Skills (Weak Foot/Special Moves)
- Player Roles
Immortals Hero Javier Mascherano
- Rating: 92
- Positions: CB, CDM
- best card so far: Winter Wildcards (89)

Why is the Immortals Upgrade worth it for Mascherano? With 3 defensive PlayStyles in gold, Mascherano is an absolute rock in defense. His lack of height for a center back can be compensated with the new PlayStyle “Edge”.
Furthermore, thanks to new roles and strong stat upgrades in passing (+8) and dribbling (+9), you can easily deploy Mascherano in defensive midfield.
Immortals Icon Gianluca Zambrotta
- Rating: 93
- Positions: RB, LB
- best card so far: Centurions (87)
| Comparison | Centurions | Immortals Upgrade |
|---|---|---|

Why is the Immortals Upgrade worth it for Zambrotta? In addition to solid stat upgrades (each value at least +6), Zambrotta finally receives a strong style for defense with the defensive PlayStyle “Interception+.”
The upgrade to “Calm+” and the new PlayStyle “Long Pass” also make him a very ball- and pass-secure pro in play development.
Immortals Icon Gianluigi Buffon
- Rating: 95
- Position: GK
- best card so far: Base Icon (91)
| Comparison | Base Icon | Immortals Upgrade |
|---|---|---|
| Stats | HEC: 94 BSI: 86 ABS: 78 REF: 93 TMP: 51 POS: 89 | HEC: 98 BSI: 90 ABS: 85 REF: 97 TMP: 67 POS: 94 |

| Skills | Skillmoves: 1★ Weak Foot: 2★ | Skillmoves: 1★ Weak Foot: 4★ |
| Role | GK-Profi++ | GK-Profi++ GK-Libero++ |
Why is the Immortals Upgrade worth it for Buffon? Anyone who has played Buffon in FC 25 knows how strong the keeper already is without the Immortals upgrade. With 4 new PlayStyles for GK play, the Italian definitely ranks among the top 3 goalkeepers and will probably remain so until the end of FC 25.
Immortals Icon Luis Hernández
- Rating: 91
- Position: ST
- best card so far: Base Icon (86)
| Comparison | Base Icon | Immortals Upgrade |
|---|---|---|
| Stats | SPD: 89 SHO: 85 PAS: 71 DRI: 86 DEF: 45 PHY: 67 | SPD: 94 SHO: 91 PAS: 83 DRI: 91 DEF: 50 PHY: 82 |

| Skills | Skillmoves: 4★ Weak Foot: 3★ | Skillmoves: 5★ Weak Foot: 4★ |
| Roles | Finisher-Profi++ | Finisher-Profi++ Power Striker-Profi++ False 9++ Passing Point+ |
Why is the Immortals Upgrade worth it for Hernández? The Mexican striker especially impresses with strong rating upgrades in passing (+12) and physicality (+15). With the enhancement to Rage+ and the additional PlayStyle “Quick Step,” Hernández can perfectly execute his speed.
Additionally, despite his smaller stature, the Mexican should not be underestimated in the air, making him a very complete attacker.
Immortals Hero DaMarcus Beasley
- Rating: 92
- Positions: LM, LB, LF
- best card so far: Track Star Hero (88)
| Comparison | Track Star Hero | Immortals Upgrade |
|---|---|---|
| Stats | SPD: 94 SHO: 80 PAS: 83 DRI: 89 DEF: 80 PHY: 81 | SPD: 98 SHO: 88 PAS: 90 DRI: 93 DEF: 85 PHY: 85 |

Why is the Immortals Upgrade worth it for Beasley? Immortals Beasley can easily be played in any position on the left side due to the new upgrades. The new version has hardly any noticeable weaknesses (worst stat: 85) and 3 golden PlayStyles that give him a significant advantage in dribbling.
With 2 new passing PlayStyles, you can also better set up your teammates.
Here are 5 worthwhile upgrades at a glance. Other Immortals players already have one or more cards that have already received significant improvements and may not benefit as much from the new enhancements. If you’re looking for affordable top players, we recommend our professional suggestions for the current evolutions in FC 25.
