Here’s everything we know so far about the EAFC 25 Alejandro Balde NumeroFUT rumor, including expected stats.
EA Sports may be planning to spice up EAFC 25’s NumeroFUT promotion with a new addition. A reliable leaker, Fut_Scoreboard, suggests that Barcelona’s left-back Alejandro Balde might get his first special card of the season. This is particularly exciting since Balde wears the number 3 jersey at Barcelona – a number previously worn by club legend Gerard Pique.
The timing seems perfect, as EA is likely to expand the NumeroFUT promotion with either a mini-release or Team 2. Right now, Balde’s regular card is rated 81 overall, but this special version could give him some serious upgrades that would make him much more useful in Ultimate Team.
Why This Card Could Be Worth Getting
The cool thing about this rumored NumeroFUT version is it could fix the main problems with Balde’s regular card. His defending and physicality would get nice boosts, and that 96 pace would make him one of the quickest left-backs in the game.
There’s more good news too – the card is supposed to come with the Anticipate+ playstyle. This should make him even better at reading the game and stopping attackers, which is exactly what you want from a defender. Plus, with his improved passing and dribbling, he could be really effective at starting attacks from the back or joining in on offensive plays.
What Stats Can We Expect?
If the leak is right, Balde’s NumeroFUT card will jump up to a 90 overall rating. Here’s what Fut_Scoreboard says about what we can expect:
- 96 Pace – A massive upgrade for those quick runs down the wing
- 84 Passing – Better crosses and build-up play
- 85 Dribbling – Smoother ball control
- 88 Defending – Much improved from his base card
- 82 Physicality – Stronger in challenges
- 57 Shooting – Still not his strong point
How Good Will He Be?
For Barcelona fans and anyone running a La Liga team, this could be a great addition. The combination of high pace and solid defending should make him really effective on both ends of the field. If you’re building a Spanish team or just need a reliable left-back, he might be worth picking up.
Just keep in mind that while Fut_Scoreboard has a good track record with leaks, nothing’s official until EA announces it. The actual card might end up being a bit different from what we’re expecting. EA has surprised us before with last-minute changes to leaked cards, so it’s worth waiting for the official reveal before getting too excited.
Current Season Performance
It’s worth noting that this special card would come at a good time, as Balde has been putting in solid performances for Barcelona this season. He’s been a regular starter and has contributed several assists in the 2024/25 campaign, showing why he deserves this upgrade. His real-life performances on the left side of Barcelona’s defense have clearly caught EA’s attention, potentially leading to this exciting NumeroFUT card.
