The David Shapeshifters SBC features Lille's prolific striker Jonathan David, but reimagined as a powerful center-back. This creative twist makes the card an eye-catching option for FC 25 Players looking to shake up their defensive line with something unexpected.

A Look at the David Shapeshifters Card

Shifting from striker to center-back might seem unusual, but EA Sports has made this transformation work with an outstanding attribute distribution. Here's what you get when you unlock this Shapeshifters version of Jonathan David:

His PlayStyles make him even more impressive. Standout PlayStyles include Pinged Pass+, Block+, Anticipate+, and Bruiser+, ideal traits for a commanding center-back. Additional traits such as Power Header, Intercept, Slide Tackle, and Press Proven further add to his defensive capabilities, while Relentless and Aerial enhance his stamina and aerial presence.
