The world of Ultimate Team is buzzing once again, this time with the unexpected transformation of one of football's most iconic strikers. According to credible leaks, EA Sports FC 25 is set to unveil a jaw-dropping Shapeshifters version of Robert Lewandowski, not as a forward, but as a central midfielder. This repositioning is not only bold but could redefine midfield dynamics in the latest FIFA title.

 

The leak, coming from the ever-reliable FUTSheriff, reveals a potential 96-rated CM card for Lewandowski. This card is rumored to feature outstanding all-around stats, tailored for those who crave a high-caliber midfielder capable of dominating every phase of play. If confirmed, this card could become one of the most desirable Squad Building Challenges (SBCs) in FC 25 Ultimate Team, but acquiring it will likely require a deep stash of FIFA 25 Coins.

 

Lewandowski's Midfield Makeover

 

In his traditional role as a striker, Lewandowski has built a reputation on surgical finishing, elite positioning, and clutch performances. However, EA's Shapeshifters promo is famous for throwing tradition out the window, and this time, it's turning the Polish goal machine into a midfield general.

 

According to the leak, Lewandowski's CM version will arrive with a suite of elite stats:

 

    Pace: 93

    Shooting: 90

    Passing: 96

    Dribbling: 92

    Defending: 88

    Physicality: 92

    Overall Rating: 96

 

This is not just a boosted card, it's a full-blown meta disrupter. These attributes make him a hybrid midfielder who can dribble like an attacker, pass like a playmaker, and hold his own defensively. Add his legendary composure and you have the blueprint for one of the most versatile FC 25 Players in the game.

 

PlayStyle+ Traits

 

Beyond raw stats, the leak teases a set of PlayStyle+ abilities that could redefine how Lewandowski fits into squads:

 

    Quickstep+ – Enhanced acceleration off the mark

    Low Driven Shot+ – Deadly precision on grounded strikes

    Incisive Pass+ – Threading pinpoint balls through defenses

    Pinged Pass+ – Long-range delivery with elite precision

 

This combination makes Lewandowski a midfield weapon with the instincts of a striker. Whether you're building around possession or pace, he fits multiple tactical setups. Creative players will love the opportunities for triangle plays, switch passes, and sudden bursts through the center.

 

Estimated SBC Cost

 

Elite Shapeshifters cards typically demand serious coin investment, and Lewandowski's SBC will be no exception. Based on early projections, the SBC will require anywhere from 600,000 to 850,000 FIFA 25 Coins. This positions him as one of the more expensive, but arguably justifiable, SBCs of the FC 25 cycle so far.

 

For those managing their FUT economy, this poses a familiar dilemma: Is the investment worth it? For players prioritizing midfield strength and fluidity, the answer might be yes. Lewandowski's unique blend of attributes and position make him a rare gem among FC 25 Players, especially given the limited availability of high-end CMs with strong attacking instincts.

 

Market Implications

 

Lewandowski's SBC release could send shockwaves through the FUT transfer market. Top-tier midfielders could drop in price temporarily as players rush to liquidate assets and complete the SBC. Investors holding cards with similar profiles might consider cashing in before the market shifts.

 

On the pitch, expect Lewandowski to quickly become a staple in Weekend League and Rivals squads. His versatility allows him to operate as a box-to-box CM, attacking CAM, or even a defensive anchor, depending on chemistry styles and tactics.

 

Squads that once relied on traditional midfield setups may now pivot toward more aggressive, hybrid formations, especially if Lewandowski proves to be as dominant in midfield as he was up top.

 

Final Thoughts

 

With his exceptional stats, powerful traits, and unique position change, Robert Lewandowski's leaked Shapeshifters SBC looks poised to redefine how midfielders are perceived in FC 25 Ultimate Team. While the FIFA 25 Coins cost is steep, the value offered could justify the spend for FUT managers looking to shake up their tactics or futureproof their squads.

 

As more FC 25 Players are released and the meta evolves, one thing is certain: if this leak holds true, Lewandowski's card won't just be another SBC, it'll be a cornerstone piece for any serious Ultimate Team competitor.

 

So, whether you're stockpiling fodder, trading for profit, or preparing your team for the next big meta shift, keep an eye out. Lewandowski's midfield debut might just be the card that changes the game.
