FC 25 has officially launched, marking the start of the first promo of the year—Road to The Knockouts. EA confirmed several key details, including Jude Bellingham’s official card, which boasts significant stat boosts. These live Road to Knockout cards will chase specific stat upgrades, adding excitement to the game through SBCs, objectives, evolutions, and possibly a new Rush mode. Get ready for a content-packed Friday on FC 25.
Market Trends After Division Rivals Rewards
Following the release of Division Rivals rewards, the market experienced a significant rise in value. Players like Florian Wirtz and others saw a sharp increase. Investments in cards like Sam Kerr, Lamin Yamal, and Rafinha yielded great returns. As predicted, the market dropped significantly before rewards came out but then surged afterward, offering a fantastic opportunity for profit.
Road to The Knockouts Promo Highlights
The Road to The Knockouts promo features some exciting upgrades. Jude Bellingham’s card, rated 91, received substantial stat boosts, with an increase of +3 in pace and +2 in shooting, passing, and dribbling. Other confirmed cards, like Ollie Watkins and Donny van de Beek, also received notable upgrades, generating much excitement for these live cards.
The upgrade path includes winning three league matches and scoring in four different matches, resulting in stat boosts. The top two finishers in the league will receive further upgrades, including a PlayStyle+ boost.
Upcoming SBCs and Objectives
Leaked SBC players, such as Diogo Jota, could drop soon. Jota’s card, likely featuring a five-star weak foot and rapid attributes, has potential. However, EA must give this card something special to make it worthwhile for players to complete.
Expect at least one objective player to release alongside the promo. For instance, Bentaleb seems like a strong candidate. Additional objectives may follow throughout the weekend.
Evolution Content and Rush Mode Updates
New Evolution content could also drop today, with a possible CAM Evolution allowing players like Xavi Simons or Pedro Gonçalves to upgrade. Rush mode will also see an update, offering new challenges and objectives. Many players have requested updates to include Evolution cards in Rush mode, and today could bring fresh gameplay features.
Store Packs and Market Impact
Today’s Road to The Knockouts release will include new store packs, with some potentially offering guaranteed Knockout cards. With heavy emphasis on tradeable market coins, prices are expected to drop as players open these packs. Sell any high-value cards before the content drop, as market prices may plummet.
Popular players, like Jude Bellingham, saw price increases ahead of the content drop but could drop again once the promo releases. This creates potential buying opportunities later in the day.
Weekend Content and Market Strategy
When it comes to buying teams or investing, the best time might be after today’s content drop, once the market stabilizes. High-demand players like icons and heroes, as well as Team of the Week cards, could prove to be profitable investments over the weekend.
Cards like Florian Wirtz and Luis Díaz rose before going out of packs but dropped afterward, mirroring typical market behavior. Keeping an eye on market trends could help players profit during the weekend’s buying opportunities.
