Alex Grimaldo is rumored to arrive as a special card in the Winter Wildcards promo in EA FC 24 Ultimate Team

After a decade of Bayern Munich dominating the Bundesliga rankings, they face their toughest challenge this season. German giants Bayer Leverkusen are in spectacular form and are currently at the top of the table, largely due to the contributions of their latest signing, Alex Grimaldo. The Spanish defender is rumored to arrive as a special card during the Winter Wildcards promo in EA FC 24.

He already possesses two in-form versions in Ultimate Team this year, both of which are popular amongst the community due to his pace and defending abilities. However, his leaked promo item is rumored to be a central-midfielder.


What will Winter Wildcards Alex Grimaldo look like in EA FC 24 Ultimate Team?

While the overall rating, stats, and position of the Winter Wildcards item are purely based on speculations and rumors, FUT Sheriff predicts that he will be an 89-rated central-midfielder with the following key attributes:

  • Pace: 93
  • Shooting: 75
  • Passing: 88
  • Dribbling: 89
  • Defending: 83
  • Physicality: 79

The Spaniard has played an important and progressive role in the Leverkusen lineup, helping out in both offense and defense, and regularly contributing towards their goal-scoring opportunities. This makes him the ideal candidate to receive a position switch to the midfield, as he is one of the most versatile players in Europe at the moment.

The current meta in EA FC 24 is dominated by pace and dribbling, which are two of Grimaldo's strongest suits. If he receives the right PlayStyles to match his new position, he could possibly be an elite-tier CM in Ultimate Team.
