Team 2 of the FUT Birthday promotion is live in packs now, with the likes of Dani Alves, Manuel Neuer and Paulo Dybala up for grabs.
It's been a busy evening in the SBC menu too, not only do we have the arrival of Inter centre back, Stefan de Vrij, we also have the arrival of the FUT Birthday Swaps Tokens rewards.
We're focusing on De Vrij for the time being, so here is everything that you need to know if you're hoping to have the Dutch centre back turning out for your side.
FUT Birthday De Vrij Stats
Stefan De Vrij has been upgraded to a 90 OVR for his appearance in the FUT Birthday promotion, a boost of five ratings compared to his base card.
The biggest upgrade has come the way of De Vrij's pace, which has been boosted from a 70 OVR to an 85 OVR. He has also been handed 92 Defending, 87 Physicality and 81 Dribbling.
De Vrij has some INSANE in-game statistics too, the top-rated are as follows:
- 94 Def. Awareness
- 92 Standing Tackle
- 92 Interceptions
And if that wasn't enough to convince you to go and unlock this card, then maybe his 5* skill move upgrade will sway you. The Dutch centre back also has a 4* weak foot.

FUT Birthday De Vrij Review
This FUT Birthday De Vrij card is one of the very best centre backs that FIFA 22 has to offer, and certainly the best available in the Serie A right now.
200,000 coins is a lot to ask for a defender, especially in the current FIFA market, but this is a card that can be completed for much less than that, especially if you go out and pick up the 86+ x7 pack from your Token Swaps rewards.
De Vrij is not only excellent defensively, but he has also had a big pace upgrade which helps with the meta, as well as those 5* skill moves which may appear as a novelty, but when combined with the 81-rated dribbling, they could be incredibly effective in getting out of those tight situations at the back.
You should consider this card, especially if you've got a Serie A or a Dutch squad.
