FIFA History: The Best FUT Birthday Cards Ever!

FUT Birthday – FIFA 17

The year in which the FUT Birthday event debuted! At that time the upgrades were really "soft" compared to FIFA 22 standards, but with Sturridge, Torres and Nani you at least had some really cool players. | © EA Sports / EarlyGame

FUT Birthday – FIFA 18

In terms of stats, FUT Birthday in FIFA 18 was a big upgrade to the previous year. With Ronaldo, Rooney and, at the time, Hazard, you also had three legends of the game in the team. Also, the design... the cards look and feel old-school, but there's definetly something about them... | © EA Sports / EarlyGame

FUT Birthday – FIFA 19

Ramos as a striker, Lukaku (the machine) as a central defender and Sane as CAM... position changes in FIFA are always sick and lead to many new possibilities for team building. | © EA Sports / EarlyGame

FUT Birthday – FIFA 20

Mbappé still gives us headaches and nightmares... what a card he had!

Don't forget Pogba, though, as he was one of the most used meta-cards at that time and Kai Havertz (still at Bayer 04 Leverkusen) was also a decent choice. | © EA Sports / EarlyGame

FUT Birthday – FIFA 21

Card design? 10/10. The Upgrades though? Sigh... Compared to the other years, more like a 6/10. A 92-rated Sterling was already the FUT Birthday player with the highest rating in FIFA 21. Of course, there's also Arturo Vidal, who was a bully in midfield and – with every single one of his stats above 80 – an honorary member of the Gullit club. | © EA Sports / EarlyGame

FUT Birthday – FIFA 22

Well folks, here we are: FIFA 22. This year's FUT Birthday has actually surprised us a little, because there wasn't much talk about Cristiano Ronaldo in the leaks. We really appreciate the WF and Skill Moves Upgrades as well! | © EA Sports / EarlyGame
