Laurent Blanc is rumored to arrive as an Immortals Icon in EA FC 25 Ultimate Team
Laurent Blanc's 88-rated base version was an exceptional meta option at the beginning of the game cycle, so his inclusion in the EA FC 25 Immortals promo would make him even more overpowered. The promo is rumored to already feature massive names like Ronaldo Nazario, Gareth Bale, and David Ginola, so the addition of an elite-tier defender will make it even more enticing for gamers looking to upgrade their squads.
The Immortals event is also rumored to feature players with three playStyle+ traits, which would make it only the second promo of the year to do so after Team of the Year. This would enhance these players and make them some of the most desirable items in Ultimate Team.
What will the Immortals version of Laurent Blanc look like in EA FC 25 Ultimate Team?
While the exact overall rating and stats of this leaked item are not confirmed, @WetDesignFUT suggests he will be 94-rated with the following key attributes:
- Pace: 87
- Shooting: 73
- Passing: 75
- Dribbling: 82
- Defending: 96
- Physicality: 93
He is also rumored to possess the Aerial+, Anticipate+ and Slide Tackle+ playStyles. The first two traits are crucial for a center-back to possess under the FC IQ system, and it will allow him to be even more dominant as a defender on the virtual pitch.
Overall, the entire promo lineup of the upcoming EA FC 25 Immortals event seems replete with massive names. Since the promo only features Icons and Heroes, this would be among the most overpowered squads of special versions released so far in the game cycle, with Laurent Blanc being one of the best potential inclusions.
