All EA FC 25 Natasha Kowalski Shapeshifters SBC tasks and solutions
Image via TOI The Natasha Kowalski Shapeshifters SBC is live in EA FC 25, and it's a good option for beginners to improve their squad. This is the first time that Kowalski has arrived as a promo item in Ultimate Team. Since she's part of a SBC, all players have equal chance to unlock the card. The requirements are pretty minimal, making it easy for all to complete. Let's take a look at all the tasks that players have to complete to obtain the promo item. All EA FC 25 Natasha Kowalski Shapeshifters SBC tasks The new Shapeshifters challenge has just one task, making it one of the easiest SBC to complete in recent times. Here are the requirements of the solo task. Task 1 - Natasha Kowalski Min. 1 Players from: Germany Min. 1 Players: TOTS Honourable Mentions OR TOTS Highlights OR TEAM OF THE SEASON OR Team of the Week Min. Team Rating: 84 The following section has details about the cheapest possible combination players can run to complete the solo task. EA FC 25 Natasha Kowalski Shapeshifters SBC solutions Here's a set of cards players can use to complete the solo task without spending too many coins. They're also advised to use fodder from their own club as much as possible, as doing so will prevent them having to buy the cards from the market directly. Any 88-rated TOTW item England 82 Luana 82 Mariona 84 Rafaelle 82 Cascarino 84 Schmidt 82 Marta 84 Fabian Ruiz 82 Ruben Neves 84 Goretzka 83 The new SBC is definitely one for the beginners, as regular players should already have better options in their current squad. The new card is positioned as a ST, but she can also play as a CAM and a LW. She offers Quick Step+, Low Driven+, and Power Shot+. Since she's rated at 94, it's also possible to add a fourth playstyle+. While she has good stats in key areas, the cutting edge is missing from this item, ranking it pretty low on the current meta. Game On Season 1 kicks off with Sakshi Malik's inspiring story. Watch Episode 1 here

EA FC 25 Shapeshifters Team 2 release date, leaks and expected FUT content
Team 2 of the Shapeshifters promo will be released in EA FC 25 Ultimate Team soon, featuring big stat boosts and out-of-the-ordinary position changes. The EA FC 25 Shapeshifters Team 2 squad is up next in Ultimate Team, with more crazy cards expected to be released. After what ended up being a bit of a tedious EA FC 25 TOTS promo, EA Sports provided the goods with the Shapeshifters Team 1 squad last week, with some incredible Icons, Heroes, and regular players receiving big stat upgrades, position changes, and chemistry boosts in a typical Shapeshifters manner. Ultimate Team players got their first taste of the Shapeshifters promo as part of the Season 8 Objective rewards, and after an impressive Team 1 release, excitement is starting to build for the EA FC 25 Shapeshifters Team 2 squad. Here's everything we know about the upcoming EA FC 25 Shapeshifters Team 2 promo squad, including the release date, leaks, our predictions and expected Ultimate Team content. EA FC 25 Shapeshifters Team 2 release date The EA FC 25 Shapeshifters release date will be Friday, June 20 at 10am PDT / 1pm EDT/ 6pm BST. The Shapeshifters promo has been confirmed to last a few weeks in Ultimate Team, so Team 2 will likely be followed by a Team 3 release on Friday, June 27. EA FC 25 Shapeshifters Team 2 leaks The source of all the Shapeshifters Team 1 leaks that were proven correct, a new tweet from leaker @AsyFutTrader has revealed the first player set to feature in the Shapeshifters Team 2 squad, Shapeshifters Icon Johan Cruyff. According to the leaker, Cruyff is set to be the star of the promo and will be the first player in EA FC 25 to be released in packs with five PlayStyle Plus'. More players will be leaked ahead of the promo's release, so watch this space for further updates. EA FC 25 Shapeshifters Team 2 predictions These are some players that we would like to see included in the EA FC 25 Shapeshifters Team 2 squad. These players are just predictions, as are their player ratings. RW: Johan Cruyff (Shapeshifters Icon) - 98 OVR CAM: Garrincha (Shapeshifters Icon) - 98 OVR CDM: Emilio Butragueno (Shapeshifters Icon) - 96 OVR CAM: Eden Hazard (Shapeshifters Hero) - 98 OVR ST: Maicon (Shapeshifters Hero) - 96 OVR RW: Tim Howard (Shapeshifters Hero) - 95 OVR ST: Aitana Bonmati (Barcelona Women) - 98 OVR ST: Scott McTominay (Napoli) - 98 OVR LW: Federico Valverde (Real Madrid) - 97 OVR CB: Kyle Hudlin (Newport County) - 97 OVR CM: Cody Gakpo (Liverpool) - 96 OVR CDM: Sam Kerr (Chelsea Women) - 96 OVR ST: Alphonso Davies (Bayern Munich) - 96 OVR ST: Takumi Minamino (Monaco) - 95 OVR CB: Kyle Walker (Milan) - 94 OVR RW: Wilfred Zaha (Charlotte) - 94 OVR EA FC 25 Shapeshifters Team 2 expected content EA went big on SBCs and Evolutions during Shapeshifters Team 1, so we expect the same again in week two of the promo. More Shapeshifters Icons and Heroes should be released as SBCs, along with new upgrade packs and exchange packs to put your fodder into. Evolutions-wise, more position-changing Evos should go live, including big stat boosts and chemistry boosts, both for a fee and for free. A new Shapeshifters Cup should also begin during Team 2, just as we saw in Team 1.

EA FC 25 servers down and when you can connect to Ultimate Team again
Players are struggling to connect to EA FC 25 Ultimate Team due to issues with the EA FC 25 servers EA FC 25 is experiencing some downtime right now, meaning that until it ends, you'll have no chance to play any matches with your pals. EA FC 25 Ultimate Team has hit new heights now that the Shapeshifters Team 1 has been revealed, with the promo featuring high-rated players in mixed-up positions. The Shapeshifters promotion has certainly seen a lot of change introduced to the expected flow of the game, and players have been getting stuck in. There are great Shapeshifters rewards on offer in Rivals at the moment, but frustratingly, players are going to have to deal with some EA FC 25 downtime before tomorrow's cut-off, with EA Sports ' scheduled EA FC 25 downtime meaning you can't access any online features. The server shutdown won't last quite as long as the game's recent over-seven-hour downtime, but players are going to be waiting outside the stadium gates regardless. But when precisely can we expect the EA FC 25 downtime to end? Here's what you need to know about the game's current server maintenance and when you can jump back into EA FC 25 again. EA FC 25 servers down – The EA FC 25 server downtime began at 1am PDT / 4am EDT / 9am BST on Wednesday, June 18, and is set to come to a close at 5am PDT / 8am EDT / 1pm BST, according to a new tweet from the @EASFCDirect Twitter account. Match creation was suspended for thirty minutes ahead of the maintenance, and is spread across the most recent EA Sports FC titles – EA FC 25, EA FC 24 and even FIFA 23 on all platforms, including Xbox, PlayStation, and PC. Recent downtimes have lasted as little as an hour, so this is frustrating news for some, but it could be far worse, with players suffering more than seven hours in the server maintenance limbo back in May. There is still a chance that the downtime could last longer than expected, with December's extended EA FC 25 downtime taking players out of the game beyond its promised six hours of closure, but our fingers are crossed that we'll be back and involved shortly. You can still access offline game modes in EA FC 25, such as kick-off and Career Mode, but if you're looking to grind out in Ultimate Team and earn some Rivals points are complete some Evolutions, you'll have to wait until later today.

Don't open EA FC 25 Rivals rewards instantly if you want Shapeshifters rewards
EA Sports has included Shapeshifters rewards in EA FC 25 Rivals rewards, but you won't be able to get them if you open your rewards as soon as you earn them If you want to get the best players possible from your EA FC 25 Rivals rewards, then don't open your packs and player picks straight away, and wait a day longer instead. As always, EA FC 25 Rivals rewards will become available to claim on Thursday at 12am PDT / 3AM EDT / 8am BST for all players in Ultimate Team, giving players the chance to open all the packs and player picks they've earned from playing Rivals over the last week. As you go up the divisions, the EA FC 25 Rivals rewards get better, but as we approach the end-game of EA FC 25 Ultimate Team, EA Sports has boosted all the Rivals rewards, with guaranteed promo player packs included as low as Division 8. Guaranteed TOTS packs were released for the TOTS promo, and with the Shapeshifters promo up next, EA has now started to include Shapeshifters items in EA FC 25 Rivals rewards. Shapeshifters is one of the biggest promos in the Ultimate Team calendar, and players have been given their first taste of what to expect in the upcoming promo as part of the Season 8 rewards. The updated EA FC 25 Rivals rewards include packs and player picks that contain either Ultimate TOTS or Shapeshifters players, and with the pack weight for Ultimate TOTS quite weak and Shapeshifters almost guaranteed to have better players, the Ultimate Team community will be praying for players from the latter promo instead. But, with the Shapeshifters promo not live in Ultimate Team packs until Friday, June 13 at 10am PDT / 1pm EDT/ 6pm BST, if you were to open your Rivals rewards before then, then your guaranteed TOTS/Shapeshifters packs and player picks will only include TOTS players and no Shapeshifters items. Don't open your EA FC 25 Rivals rewards With Shapeshifters players not available until Friday, June 13 at 10am PDT / 1pm EDT/ 6pm BST, we recommend saving your EA FC 25 Rivals rewards until the Shapeshifters players are available in packs, as there will be a much better chance of you earning one of these incredible players in your rewards. Early Shapeshifters leaks have revealed that Icons and Heroes will also be included in the promo, while players will be as high as 98-rated, so you'd be silly not to wait an extra day to open your rewards and try and earn one of these coveted items. The Shapeshifters promo is expected to last a few weeks in Ultimate Team, meaning Shapeshifters players will be included in Rivals rewards for the next few weeks. But, it's only this week where it makes sense to hold off on opening your Rivals rewards straight away and show a little bit of patience.
