Should You Complete The Thunderstruck Kim Min Jae Challenge In EA FC 25?

Free objective players in EA Sports FC 25 can be hit or miss, with some options only seeing use as fodder cards for Squad Builder Challenges (SBCs). However, regardless of what kind of team you’re using, Kim Min Jae will be an excellent addition to your roster and is worth far more than your standard 86-rated fodder card.

Even if you have something against the Bundesliga, you should hold onto this card for Bayern Munich’s next five games, as all Thunderstruck cards are live and can be upgraded. While Kim Min Jae may start as an 86-rated defender, he can potentially become 87-rated while receiving additional PlayStyles and Roles if Bayern Munich achieves certain objectives.

What Are The Thunderstruck Kim Min Jae Objectives?

We return to the Bundesliga with another excellent player you can earn for free in EA FC 25.

Kim Min Jae is one of the best defenders in the Bundesliga, and while this card doesn’t boast an incredibly high overall rating, its potential to upgrade makes this a must-do objective.

Thunderstruck cards are Live cards,
which can receive upgrades based on how the player’s team performs in real life.

As a Live card, Kim Min Jae might receive the following upgrades:

• Two PlayStyles and One Role+ if Bayern Munich wins two of their next five Domestic League matches.
• Plus One Overall and One Role+ if Bayern Munich scores six goals in their next five Domestic League matches.

If you already run a Bundesliga team, this objective will be one of the easiest you’ll find all year, as your primary concern will be team building.

The following objectives can be completed in
Squad Battles on a minimum of Semi-Pro difficulty, or in Rivals
if you prefer to play online.

If you don’t have a Bundesliga squad already made, head over to your Club tab to edit your Squad and prepare three players you can use to fulfill the requirements.

How To Complete The Thunderstruck Kim Min Jae Challenge Fast

Assembling your starting 11 is key here, as you’ll want at least one Bundesliga player in your attack, preferably as a striker, so you can score ten goals with them without trying too hard.

While adding more Bundesliga attackers to your team will make this objective even simpler to complete, don’t go out of your way to buy players to complete this objective, especially if you selected
Donyell Malen
from last season’s season pass rewards.

In addition to the excellent Centurions Donyell Malen that was available from the previous season’s rewards, here are some of the best players you can add to your squad from the Bundesliga:

• Harry Kane (Bayern Munich)
• Florian Wirtz (Bayer Leverkusen)
• Nathan Tella (Bayer Leverkusen)
• Julian Brandt (Borussia Dortmund)
• Rudi Voller (Hero)
• Pascal Gross (Borussia Dortmund)
• Ze Roberto (Hero)
• Jamal Musiala (Bayern Munich)
• Michael Olise (Bayern Munich)
• Xavi Simons (RB Leipzig)
• Mario Gomez (Hero)

Once you’ve decided who makes your team, the objectives should be simple enough if you keep the following tasks in mind:

• Score ten goals with a Bundesliga player.
• Win five of seven games, keeping three clean sheets with at least three Bundesliga players in your starting 11.
