Tuesday’s first FC 25 Icon Pack SBC of the year, the Max 87 Icon, significantly impacted the market. The overwhelming demand for this SBC caused a massive market crash, with many players jumping at the opportunity to complete it. Prices across the FC 25 Market dropped due to this surge in activity.
Market Trends and Division Rivals Rewards
Wednesdays often see market drops, but by Thursday, prices tend to rise again as Division Rivals rewards become available. This pattern repeats as many players invest their coins wisely. The trend continues, with opportunities to make coins still available despite the fluctuations.
Leaks and Upcoming SBCs
Several leaks continue to circulate, hinting at new SBCs, possibly arriving on Friday. Additionally, the first major player for Team Two of the Total Rush Promo has been leaked, setting the stage for an exciting lineup that includes a rival to Cristiano Ronaldo.
Angel Gomes SBC Review
In addition to the Max 87 Icon SBC, another valuable SBC arrived, featuring Angel Gomes, an English player from Ligue 1. With four-star skills and four-star weak foot, his stats make him a versatile choice for any squad. He can play CAM, CDM, or CM, offering solid stats in dribbling, defending, and physical attributes. Despite some weaknesses, such as composure, Gomes offers excellent value at just 23,000 coins, making him a smart investment for the future.
Total Rush Challenge 3 SBC and Reward Pack
The Total Rush Challenge 3 SBC offers an untradeable 50,000-coin pack, which is easy to complete. It requires just one squad of players from the same nation and a couple of different leagues. This SBC is a must-do for anyone looking to bolster their club’s reserves.
Max 87 Base Icon Upgrade SBC
The Max 87 Base Icon Upgrade SBC turned out to be a bit more complex than expected, requiring three squads (85, 86, and 86 ratings) instead of two. However, it compensates by offering three packs in return, which adds some value despite its cost of 222,000 coins. While only a small portion of the available Icons exceed the SBC’s value, it remains an attractive option for many players.
Players like Barnes, who is valued at 415,000 coins, have been particularly sought after. However, with more promo cards entering the FC 25 Market, many Icons will likely decrease in value over time.
Icon Packable Cards and FC 25 Market Impact
Some Icons, like Fernando Torres, saw significant price increases, rising by 50-60k coins. Others, like Zola and Petit, also experienced smaller price hikes. This reflects the market’s fluctuation based on the demand for Icons in these SBCs.
New Title Update and SBC Builder
The latest Title Update introduced some quality-of-life changes to the SBC Builder on old-gen consoles. These changes include the ability to sort by trade status, rating, and other useful parameters, making it easier to complete SBCs. This update will soon be available on new-gen consoles as well.
Investment Opportunities in the FC 25 Market
Heading into Division Rivals Rewards, many cards have dropped in value, making this an excellent time to invest. For instance, Aro, one of the most meta gold center-backs, dropped from 70,000 coins to 59,000. Similarly, cards like Phil Foden and Rodrigo offer solid potential for profit after the rewards are distributed.
Investors can also focus on out-of-pack specials, which typically perform well after rewards drop. Heroes and Icons, especially, saw substantial gains last week and remain a good investment opportunity.
