Over the past several days, FIFA 19 Ultimate Team has rolled out their brand new FUT Birthday celebration event. It included a full FUT Birthday Squad with 21 impressive players such as Gareth Bale and Kylian Mbappe. Along with the reveal of that team, gamers also learned of Weekly Objectives and Squad Building Challenges (SBCs) to get even more great players. On Saturday, two new SBCs arrived for the promotion giving gamers more great players to try to achieve FIFA 19 Ultimate Team cards for.
FIFA 19 Ultimate Team Birthday SBCs added for Flashback, Prime Icon cards
What would a FIFA Ultimate Team Birthday event be without Flashback and Prime ICON SBCs as part of the promotion? Saturday’s reveal included two more SBC player items for the popular game mode. For the Prime ICON Moments player, there’s a 92 OVR Patrick Kluivert. His card boasts attributes such as 93 Shooting, 89 Pace, and 85 Dribbling.

New FIFA 19 Ultimate Team Man of the Match cards include Silva, Jimenez
Five new Man of the Match player cards also arrived with limited availability on Saturday. These aren’t part of the FIFA 19 Ultimate Team Birthday event. Among the star players available for the MOTM Orange cards are Bernardo Silva (88), Raul Jimenez (82), and Etienne Capoue (81).
Just recently, fans voted Silva as Premier League’s most underrated player at UK’s The Sun. He received the popular vote over Son Heung-min and Alexandre Lacazette. It’s believed he thrives despite being in the shadow of fellow stars like Raheem Sterling and Leroy Sane. Silva has five goals and seven assists in his 29 appearances this season. Check out his card along with the other new MOTM Orange cards below.
