EA FC 25 Nick Pope Flashback SBC: Review

Pope's 83-rated Rare Gold edition hasn't found any significant relevance in the EA FC 25 meta yet. However, the freshly introduced Nick Pope Flashback SBC item features a 90 Overall rating with some exceptional attributes.

EA Sports has provided the new version with the Long Ball Pass+ and FootWork+ PlayStyle attributes, making it one of the most lucrative goalkeeper cards in the market. Gamers can surely exploit both of his PlayStyles+ with the 5-star weak foot trait. However, the 5-star skill set remains irrelevant for the non-outfield player.

An English and/or Premier League link will surely help place this Newcastle goalie in any top-tier Ultimate Team.
