Ilkay Gundogan has been leaked as a Shapeshifters SBC/objective player in EA FC 25

The Shapeshifters promo is a fan favorite in the world of Ultimate Team as it provides gamers with unique squad-building options. The players featured in this event all receive brand-new positions on the virtual pitch, and the leaked Ilkay Gundogan SBC/objective item will be no different. Despite being a central midfielder or CDM in real life, his leaked item will play as a CAM.

This version will explore the playmaking side of his abilities, while also providing him with the stats and traits required to excel in his new position.

What will the EA FC 25 Shapeshifters SBC/objective version of Ilkay Gundogan look like?

Based on the information leaked by X/@DonkTrading, this item will be 96-rated with the following key stats and attributes:

Pace: 93
Shooting: 96
Passing: 94
Dribbling: 95
Defending: 88
Physicality: 90

He is also rumored to possess the First Touch+, Pinged Pass+, Technical+, and Low Driven Shot+ PlayStyles, which are ideal for his new role under the FC IQ system. These traits will boost his passing, dribbling, and shooting abilities, making him an all-around threat in the current meta.

If this item arrives as an SBC, a price of around 200,000 to 300,000 coins should be reasonable for an item of this caliber. However, gamers will be hoping for this version to be released as an objective, as it will be easier to obtain and give them something to grind for.
