EA has been rolling out FC 25 Road to the Final (RTTF) player picks frequently, and this latest one stands out. The selection includes Lucas Digne and Axel Witsel, both featuring PlayStyle+ and live RTTF upgrades. Digne comes with Quick Step and Jockey, while Witsel has Long Ball Pass and Block, making him a strong option.
Witsel’s inclusion is particularly interesting since he already had an SBC card earlier this year as part of the Squad Battles Mastery Token promo. While 137,000 coins for these cards might seem steep, their potential for upgrades makes them a solid investment. If their teams make deep runs in the Champions League, these cards could receive significant boosts, turning them into top-tier options.
Evolution Considerations: Be Careful with Live Cards
Many players are looking to evolve these RTTF cards, especially Witsel, in the Strategic Shift Evolution. While this makes his card significantly better, there’s a crucial downside—Evolved live cards have stat limits that might prevent them from benefiting from future RTTF upgrades.
This issue has already affected players like Ignacio (Sporting CP) and Képhren Thuram, who were unable to receive full upgrades due to EVO restrictions. If you’re planning to evolve Digne, applying the four-star weak foot boost is a safe option, as it won’t interfere with future RTTF enhancements.
FC 25 SBC Update: 87+ Player Pick & Team of the Year Honorable Mentions
EA has adjusted the Campaign Mix Player Pick, lowering its rating requirement from 88+ to 87+ while making it cheaper. This version requires an 83-rated and an 85-rated squad, bringing the total cost to just 58,000 coins. The most exciting change? The inclusion of Team of the Year Honorable Mentions, making this a worthwhile gamble.
While these picks don’t guarantee elite players, they offer a fun, affordable way to use excess fodder. Daily 83×10 packs provide plenty of material to complete these SBCs, making them an easy way to roll the dice on a high-value pull.
Fodder Market Trends: What to Watch for in Rivals Rewards (FC 25 Guide)
Yesterday’s 83×10 refresh and the continued demand for SBCs have kept the Team of the Week (TOTW) market active. Some TOTW cards are still selling for 13,000 coins, making them a decent flip option. If you’re holding onto TOTW cards, consider listing them at lazy buy prices, as SBC demand will likely cause periodic price spikes.
Fodder buying opportunities should arise during Rivals rewards, with a potential dip in 86, 87, and 88-rated cards. Historically, we’ve seen 88-rated cards drop from 15K to 13K on Thursdays, only to rebound to 15K over the weekend. If they hit 14K or below, they could be a solid short-term investment.
Fantasy FC Team 2 Leaks & EA’s “Trick” With Evolutions
New Fantasy FC 25 Team 2 leaks surfaced yesterday, revealing more about EA’s sneaky Evolution strategy. The biggest leak? Randal Kolo Muani is expected to be the marquee SBC player for the promo. Given his recent form for Juventus, this card should be highly desirable.
However, there’s a big catch—Kolo Muani already has multiple Evolution paths that make him nearly unbeatable. His 99 Dribbling, 94 Pace, and Finesse + Quick Step PlayStyles are already top-tier. Unless EA gives the new version a five-star skill or weak foot boost, it’s unlikely to surpass his best EVO version.
This isn’t the first time EA has done this. We’ve seen it happen with Kyle Walker’s Winter Wildcards Evolution in FC 24, where an upgraded promo version was released immediately after his EVO version became popular. The same pattern is happening in FC 25, with multiple players like Marcus Rashford, Darwin Núñez, Mathys Tel, and Alphonso Davies receiving high-quality EVOs, only to have a promo version follow right after.
This strategy creates false demand, making players want to chase the next best version even when their EVO player is already top-tier.
