Compared to the first batch, the second one is significantly bigger. While EA Sports hasn't reduced the minimum overall of the available cards (beginning at 88), we should find more cards from packs. Let's quickly take a look at all the special items that you can find in packs as part of Batch 2.

Complete list of EA FC 25 FUTTIES Best of Re-Release Batch 2 players All the cards of the EA FC 25 FUTTIES Best of Re-Release Batch 2 have been available in previous months.
