The legends of FIFA 15 are making a triumphant return! EA Sports FC 25 is set to bring back Seydou Doumbia, Victor Ibarbo, and Gervinho—three of the most feared attackers in Ultimate Team history. Their arrival, confirmed by EA’s official ‘X’ account, has sent shockwaves through the community, sparking excitement among longtime fans.
The FUT Birthday Event Brings an Iconic Comeback
EA Sports FC 25 has struggled to keep players engaged despite various promotions, including Team of the Week releases and the highly anticipated TOTY (Team of the Year) cards. However, the upcoming FUT Birthday event could be a game-changer. Traditionally, this event celebrates the franchise’s anniversary by introducing unique and nostalgic player items, often accompanied by free rewards for all players.
This year’s FUT Birthday event delivers something even more special: the return of FIFA 15’s most electrifying attacking trio. For years, the mere mention of Doumbia, Ibarbo, and Gervinho sent shivers down defenders’ spines. Their pace, agility, and chemistry made them unstoppable, allowing even budget squads to dismantle high-value teams.
Nostalgia Meets Ultimate Team’s Modern Era
Throughout the year, EA Sports FC 25 has made surprise comebacks a core part of Ultimate Team. One of the biggest returns was Diego Maradona, reinstated as a high-tier Icon after years of absence. While that was a significant move, it pales in comparison to the buzz surrounding the return of the FIFA 15 “cheat code” trio.
Electronic Arts (EA) is far from happy with the revenue from EA Sports FC 25. Here are the details and what you need to know...
Fans have speculated about their return for months, and EA has finally delivered. This move is more than just a content update—it’s an emotional throwback to an era when FIFA felt fresh, fast-paced, and unpredictable. Back then, players didn’t need millions of coins to compete at the highest level. A simple front three of Doumbia, Ibarbo, and Gervinho was enough to tear through even the toughest defenses.
Why This Matters for EA Sports FC 25
The current state of Ultimate Team has left many nostalgic for the older FIFA titles. The rise of overpowered meta squads and coin-based advantages has made the game feel restrictive for casual players. The return of FIFA 15’s deadliest trio could rekindle that lost excitement and even bring back players who had abandoned the game.
EA Sports FC 25 desperately needs a spark, and this nostalgia-powered event could be it. Whether these returning stars will be as dominant as before remains to be seen, but one thing is certain—Ultimate Team just got a whole lot more interesting.
