In EA FC 25, Ultimate Team has hit a new stride with shape-shifter promos, fresh SBCs, and ever-evolving gameplay mechanics-but one card has caught everyone's attention this week: Flashback Teemo Werner, affectionately dubbed "Teemo the Burner." With a blazing 96 rating FC 25 Coins, powerful attacking stats, and that familiar burst of pace, Werner looks like a pure goal-scoring machine. But is he worth the 480k coin investment? Is this the striker that transforms your squad into a scoring juggernaut? Or is he another example of EA's tendency to shortchange cards with missing playstyles? Let's break down everything you need to know. Flashback Werner Returns-Familiar, But Upgraded If you're experiencing déjà vu, you're not alone. This Werner card bears a striking resemblance to his shape-shifter version from FIFA 22 or 23-same dynamic image, nearly identical stats, and a playstyle built for raw aggression. The similarities are so uncanny they'll be pointed out in thumbnails everywhere. At a glance, this is what Flashback Teemo brings to the pitch: 96 Pace (Rapid Playstyle+) 96 Shooting 91 Dribbling 3 PlayStyle+ Perks: Finesse+, Rapid+, Pinged+ 4-Star Skills, 5-Star Weak Foot Positions: ST, RW, RM Height: 5'11" with a "Mostly Explosive" accelerate type You're also able to add a fourth PlayStyle+ via the Season Pass, which is a decent bonus if you're a fan of the card. But at this stage of the FC cycle, is it enough? PlayStyle+ Breakdown-The Good and the Missing Let's talk PlayStyles. Werner comes with three strong ones out of the gate: Finesse+: Helps with those curling beauties from outside the box. Rapid+: Makes his explosive sprints unstoppable. Pinged+: Adds zip to long-range passes and crosses. All of these are solid. The problem? No Low Driven+ or Trickster. For many competitive players, Low Driven+ is essential in breaking down defenses, and Trickster allows for quick, unpredictable movements inside the box. Their absence limits Werner's variety in the final third. You can still do basic low drivens, but they lack the extra efficiency and animation power of the PlayStyle version. With how important animations are in FC 25, this matters. In-Game Performance-The Burner Lives Up to His Name Let's shift to gameplay. Immediately, Werner's presence is felt. Within six minutes of his debut, he's smashing a volleyed finish into the back of the net. He's clinical, aggressive, and thrives off green-timed finishes-something that feels consistently rewarding with this card. Despite being "mostly explosive," he can be converted into controlled with a Basic chemistry style, which may help those who aren't fans of the explosive sprint type. Controlled allows for a smoother burst with less "jerky" acceleration and is often easier to manage in crowded midfield areas. The highlight reel speaks for itself: Hat-trick in his first match Brilliant near-post finishes Dominant runs behind the back line Excellent link-up play Whether he's finishing with finesse, hammering in volleys, or scrapping for tap-ins, Werner gets the job done. Chem Style Advice-Keep It Basic or Go Marksman Final Verdict-Burn Bright, or Burn the Coins? Flashback Teemo Werner is a fast, clinical, and fun striker who delivers consistent results. His explosive pace and movement make him a nightmare for defenders. His finishing is elite, and his physicality surprisingly strong. In the right hands, and in the right setup FIFA 25 Coins, he can absolutely dominate games. That said, this is not a flashy card. You won't be breaking ankles with five-star skills or dazzling defenders with trickster animations. If you're a gameplay purist who values pace, positioning, and power, this card is for you. If you're more into flair, showmanship, and meta-breaking dribblers? You might want to save your fodder.
