How to do the Cole Palmer celebration in FC 25
Become "Cold Palmer" with these simple inputs on PlayStation and Xbox.
Cole Palmer burst onto the scene like few others over the past 12 months, and is now one of the most sought-after players in EA Sports FC 25.
Not only for his attacking ability, but because of his now iconic celebration.
Alongside the Chelsea star's massive rating boost that has seen him rise to one of the best wingers in FC 25, Palmer's notorious celebration is now available to perform for the very first time.
The "Cold" or "Cold Palmer" celebration has become synonymous with the 22-year-old throughout the 2023/2024 season.
This culminated with Palmer being awarded the PFA Young Player of the Year for 24 goals and 16 assists among a stellar 12 months for the Blues.
So, for anyone looking to top off their ice-cold finishes with a fitting celebration, here is how to replicate Cole Palmer's in EA FC 25.
How to do the Cole Palmer celebration in FC 25
The Cole Palmer "Cold" celebration can be done in FC 25 by pressing L2/LT and rotating the RS clockwise, using a player with under 75 Agility.
If you attempt this celebration with a player who has over 75 Agility, they will instead perform Sam Kerr's signature backflip celebration instead.
Looking at Palmer's England teammates, this means you're able to perform his celebration with Harry Kane and Declan Rice, but not Phil Foden or Jude Bellingham.
This will then correspond on PC depending on what controller you are using. The move does not need unlocking, and can be done straight away.
Alternatively, if you score a goal with Cole Palmer, you can press the following button to initiate the celebration:
- PS5/PS4 - X
- Xbox Series X/S - A
- Nintendo Switch - B
The move first came to light during Chelsea's 3-2 win over Luton Town in December 2023, which saw Palmer score a brace and perform the celebration.
Teammate Noni Madueke then said in a post-match interview: "That's why they call him 'Cold Palmer', innit?"
Palmer revealed that the celebration was done in tribute to his former Manchester City academy teammate Morgan Rogers.
