Anthony Elanga FC25 Shapeshifters ST 95 rated

We've been putting this behemoth of a card through its paces, and boy, Anthony Elanga at 95-rated Shapeshifters striker is lit directly for your team. Picture this: with pace capped at 99, including that utterly bonkers acceleration and sprint speed, both getting to 99, he's leaving defenders for dead like they're rooted to the ground. We love his shooting sitting at 95, finishing at 98, and attacking position at 98, and he's a nightmare in the box—those volleys at 88 and long shots at 92 see him bang 'em in from anywhere. Dribbling's also perfect at 95 thanks to agility 96, balance 95, and ball control 93, so he's twisting and turning through crowded areas with ease. Passing isn't loafing either at 91, with vision 94 and crossing 95, perfect for building plays together in Football Ultimate Team 25.


On defense, he's a tank at 88, with jumping maxed at 99 and stamina 91 to keep him going all game, along with strength 90 to deflect presses. Defending's the only role where he's not 70 elite, but hey, with interceptions 60 and standing tackle 70, he's not cut out for the backline anyway. That 5-star weak foot and 4-star skills do so much to make him versatile—you can finesse shots from either side without grumbling. In FUT 25, we've been able to have him shine in quick-attacking games, especially with his Controlled Explosive AcceleRATE style that makes him feel even quicker. His crossing at 96 is clutch on those crosses, and composure 91 keeps it cool in pressure situations. Overall, the usage on this card shouts top-notch striker for breaking down stubborn defenses and spearheading counter-attacks in your fantasy side.


We feel that the pairing with the creative mids enhances his ceiling because his 90 reactions make him able to exploit rapid balls. Based on in-game metrics, he boasts a solid 2561 IGS, and that means he's balanced as an attacking player. If you are building a Premier League hybrid player, his Nott'm Forest assignments are gold. You just have to watch out for those 77 penalties because they're solid but not automatic. This player is a complete game-changer for grinders playing divisions or Weekend League.
