The hobby is buzzing over the hottest new release: the Futera Unique 2025 World Football Edition 21. You may have seen other blogs using the same generic promotional images.
This review is different.
As a collector and power blogger, I believe in showing you the facts. You are about to see what no one else is offering: a complete, high-resolution gallery of all 120 base cards from this set, including the front and the back.
This is the definitive, real-life guide to the 2025 Futera Unique base set.
The “Unique” Standard: Quality & Parallels
Before we get to the gallery, let’s analyze why this set is “ultra-premium.” It’s not just marketing.

- Dazzling Parallels: (Official Checklist Data) Every one of these 120 base cards has nine levels of stunning, foil-numbered parallels to chase:
- Silver: /69
- Topaz: /62
- Quartz: /55
- Turquoise: /40
- Amethyst: /30
- Emerald: /20
- Sapphire: /15
- Ruby: /10

The 2025 Checklist: A Masterclass in Curation
(Official Checklist Verified) The 120-card base set is a masterclass, perfectly organized into six distinct themes:
- Goalkeepers (#1 – #5)
- Defenders (#6 – #30)
- Midfielders (#31 – #60)
- Forwards (#61 – #90)
- Next (The Future Generation) (#91 – #100)
- The Greats (Legends of the Game) (#101 – #120)
This checklist is absolutely stacked with global superstars. The Midfielder section (#31-60) is a showcase of the world’s best, including #32 Jude Bellingham, #37 Phil Foden, #52 Cole Palmer, and #60 Florian Wirtz.
The Forward section (#61-90) is even more powerful, led by #69 Erling Haaland and #80 Kylian Mbappé, alongside #71 Heung-min Son and #73 Harry Kane.
And for the chase? The “Next” set features the card every collector is hunting for: #99 Lamine Yamal. The set is anchored by “The Greats,” headlined by the two GOATs: #112 Lionel Messi and #116 Cristiano Ronaldo.
