We’re taking a look at the FC 25 investments with fodder, and profitable moves that may still hold potential. By analyzing last year’s Centurions promo in FC 24, we gain insights into what may come in the next few days. But first, let’s dive into today’s content, which includes an SBC and some investment tips.
Playmaker SBC: Iñaki Williams
The Iñaki Williams card, while interesting, isn’t generating much excitement. Compared to Nico Williams, it’s somewhat lacking without the Spanish nation boost, five-star weak foot, or any PlayStyle Plus. At a price nearing 150K (83, 84, and 85-rated SBCs required), this card is considered overpriced.
The recently released Icon SBC didn’t impact fodder as expected, with prices barely rising. Since it’s a repeat (previously released two weeks ago), the excitement around this upgrade has cooled. Only minor adjustments were made, such as removing one Team of the Week requirement, but the cost remains high. Current fodder prices, such as 85s around 6K and 86s close to 10K, indicate stable but not notable growth. A possible slight increase might occur by Monday, but selling now may be a better option. If not, holding for longer remains viable.
Fodder Insights (Fc 25 Investements Guide)
Fodder prices for 85–88 rated players are unlikely to rise significantly. There could be a small bump on Monday after the weekend supply drops off, but they may stagnate. If no upgrades are announced for early in the week, this trend could continue.
For those on a budget, consider investing in gold Commons. With the Centurion promo possibly reintroducing crafting upgrades, demand for these players may surge. Last year, gold Commons rose from 300 to about 550–600 coins, so investing now could double your earnings if the same pattern repeats. This presents a straightforward way to turn 100K into 200K with little effort.
Centurion Promo Content
Last year’s Centurions promo introduced the Centurion 100-player pack SBC, which required an 83 and an 84-rated squad, with Team of the Weeks included. This pack was not exceptional value, but its uniqueness drew interest. This time, it could help boost 83 and 84-rated fodder and Team of the Week cards. Similar trends could make Tuesday or Wednesday an optimal sell time for low fodder and Team of the Week items.
For the past few Novembers in FC and FIFA, 83-rated cards have consistently risen to over 2,000 coins. Holding 83-rated fodder for Black Friday may yield good returns, though it requires patience. The same logic applies to 84-rated cards, which also have good potential during the Centurion promo and Black Friday.
Team of the Weeks Investment Strategy
Investing in Team of the Weeks at discard value and listing them up for lazy buyers has been effective. Team of the Weeks are currently obtainable for around 11,500–12,000 coins. Simply holding these until the market demands rise could result in a decent profit, especially if multiple SBCs require Team of the Week cards during Black Friday.
For high-budget investors, flipping icons or high-tier cards, such as Forlán, Al-Owairan, or Brolin, offers massive potential profits. Cards that dropped heavily in price due to loan availability—like Forlán (from 500K to 270K) and Al-Owairan—may experience a resurgence as loan periods expire and demand returns. Switching from defensive to attacking flips may also prove more profitable, as attackers have more rebounding potential in the current market.
Chemistry style trading, especially with Hunters and Shadows, has become profitable again. As packs and SBCs add supply to the market, buying Hunters for as low as 200 coins on bid and selling them at market rates can provide easy profits. Chemistry styles like these fluctuate with reward times, so tracking their availability offers a low-risk investment.
