FC 25 player prices are rising across the board. The question now, as we approach this weekend, is whether prices will continue to increase. This might be the most important market information of the week, as we analyze recent market movement and upcoming events. It’s crucial to determine when to sell. Additionally, leaks and Champions League action may impact some game prices.
Repeatable SBCs and Rush Mode Updates
The 77 double SBC, released yesterday as unlimited repeatable, is not recommended. Gold upgrades seem better than the 77 double SBCs, as they don’t require rare golds. Though the 77 double SBC has a rating guarantee, gold upgrades appear more beneficial. Additionally, the “Welcome to Rush” mode in FC 25 was updated. Previously capped at a 79 overall rating, it now allows up to 88. The change happened outside of the usual content drop time, which highlights how unpredictable these updates can be. It seems like EA can modify Rush mode requirements randomly, which may lead to more changes.
FC 25 Market Overview
The market’s current state shows that yesterday’s content was relatively mid-tier, but the market rose significantly. After a significant rise on Sunday, the index increased from 81 to 87 points, and yesterday it reached 90. A small dip happened during the content drop, probably due to the release of preview packs and refreshed 50k packs in the store. However, prices quickly bounced back, and the market peaked at 91 points. It’s likely that some recent fluctuations occurred because PlayStation users couldn’t access the game, which may have led to reduced player activity.
Another contributing factor to the market rise is that many players aim to reach Division 3 for the FC Pro objective. This has driven demand for top-tier cards like Valverde, who reached nearly 500,000 coins from 380,000 on Friday. Overall, this extra gameplay demand has impacted the market positively.
Market Timing and Gold Card Risks
The market remains safe for now, but caution is advised as player prices continue to increase. The gold card market, in particular, feels unsteady. By Friday, with the arrival of weekend league rewards and increased supply, selling gold cards is recommended. Players should consider selling before then, especially those of lower value, such as Opanda, who saw a significant rise from 30,000 to 36,000 coins. Friday could bring drastic price drops due to the influx of tradable cards from rewards.
Icon and Hero Cards – Continued Strategy
Despite the steady rise in icon and hero prices, these cards need to be managed cautiously. Trading with these cards can yield significant profit due to increased demand. Buffon, for example, was bought at 800,000 and sold for 870,000 coins, providing a 26,000 coin profit. Harry Kewell was another card that showed consistent trading opportunities.
Team of the Week 2 – Investment Opportunities
Looking at Team of the Week 2, discarding some of the lower-tier players for investment could prove worthwhile. Players like Evander, Jackson from Chelsea (at around 12,000 coins), and Mukoko are potential investments. These should be considered as long-term investments, and while profits may not be immediate, they could become valuable over time.
Current FC 25 Market Trading Outlook
Trading and flipping cards have become slightly more challenging lately. While there are still opportunities, such as trading with heroes and icons, focusing on discard informs is another viable strategy. Trading with icons or heroes remains the best option, but more patience may be required to find opportunities.
