The EA FC 25 Grassroot Greats promo features both current-gen superstars and legends of the game in the form of Icons and Heroes. These are fan-favorite names who have played for lower-tier and local competitions as well as at the highest level. Along with the Winter Wildcards event, this is one of the very few promos in Ultimate Team to have boosted versions of both Heroes and Icons.


Diego Maradona spearheads an exciting EA FC 25 Grassroot Greats promo

While the Future Stars promo was rather underwhelming, the success and hype of the Team of the Year event has now been replicated by the EA FC 25 Grassroot Greats promo. This is largely due to the popularity and legendary status of Diego Maradona in the sport of football, who has received an incredible 96-rated version as part of this lineup.
