The final full week of FC 25 Team of the Season begins May 30, and it’s bringing in global icons. Leaks have confirmed that Lionel Messi (MLS) and Cristiano Ronaldo (Saudi Pro League) headline the squads, alongside cards from the Rest of the World TOTS.
Messi’s 96-rated card boasts 97 passing, 98 dribbling, 96 shooting, and four PlayStyle+ traits including Low Driven Finesse. He’s also five-star skill and five-star weak foot this year. Ronaldo comes in with 99 shooting, 96 dribbling, and an aerial PlayStyle+ combo that makes him dominant in the air. Compared to their FC 24 versions, these cards show just how much the power curve has spiked. Expect both to remain in packs for two weeks as part of the Ultimate TOTS rotation.
Another standout in the current leaks is Leonardo Fernández from the Libertadores League. While not as headline-worthy, his Tikitaka and Incisive PlayStyles make him a creative threat worth watching.
Chelsea’s 96-Rated Team Set to Drop
Today’s content includes a Chelsea-themed squad drop, similar to last week’s Spurs special. Every player from Chelsea’s recent Conference League final appearance is getting a 96-rated card, with Cole Palmer set for a 97-rated Man of the Match boost.
All cards will have five-star skill moves, five-star weak foot, and three PlayStyle+ traits. Based on how popular and profitable the Spurs drop was, this Chelsea drop could create big market movement. Players like Palmer, Mudryk, Enzo Fernández, and Reece James will be highly sought after. Expect these cards to hit packs a few hours after the main content drop, so holding rivals rewards for a bit might be a good move.
Market Watch: La Liga Investments and Weekend Trends
With the La Liga TOTS winding down, today is a major day for investing in top-tier cards. The hype around Vinícius Jr., Jude Bellingham, and Pedri continues, especially since their prices are dipping with rivals rewards coming out.
Many players like Koundé (40K) and Valverde (down nearly 10K) could rebound this weekend. As Ultimate TOTS nears, expect panic selling to begin early next week, especially if EA includes re-releases of top-tier names. There’s a narrow window between now and then to buy low and sell before Sunday.
Market-wise, Team of the Season cards under 15K (especially 92–94 rated) remain smart pickups for SBC fodder as EA continues to push high-rated content.
Evolutions, Icon SBCs, and Daily Content Plans
EA is also preparing a new CDM Evolution, potentially arriving Friday. It features strong PlayStyle+ options (Tikitaka, Incisive, Press Proven) and upgrades passing to 94 with a five-star weak foot. Cards like Kanté and Tchouaméni have already jumped in price following this leak. Requirements are reportedly Max 91 OVR and Max 91 DEF.
In other big news, an Icon SBC is in development, based on the eChampions League winner Emre Yilmaz’s pick. While it’s unclear who he’ll select, options include Vidic, van Persie, and Fernando Torres. Expect leaks on this to hit soon, with the SBC itself likely dropping next week.
For now, Thursday content should be quiet outside of the daily login SBC, one new player SBC, and the 100-player pack upgrade refresh. The Chelsea cards will be the major afternoon drop to watch.
One Last Chance Before Ultimate FC 25 Team of the Season
This final regular week of Team of the Season offers limited but massive cards — especially with Messi and Ronaldo potentially having their last TOTS items. Combined with Chelsea’s special 96-rated squad, there are still reasons to engage before Ultimate TOTS begins.
If you’re looking to invest, focus on La Liga out-of-pack options, cheap TOTS fodder, and potential Chelsea player spikes. Hold packs until the Chelsea team is live, and prepare for what could be the most chaotic market swings yet.
