The much-anticipated content drop for FC 25 TOTY is live, presenting some of the best packs and player odds in the game. With a 1.5% chance to pack a Team of the Year card in the 325k Ready Position Pack and a 3% chance in the 475k pack, this release offers the highest odds currently available in the store. While the odds might not be perfect, they still stand out compared to previous content drops.
FC 25 TOTY Pack Odds and Market Reactions
Today’s pack odds raise questions about EA’s strategy regarding pack weights. If pack weights remain similar to past years, the drop rates for Team of the Year cards should increase as more cards enter packs. However, there is concern that EA may limit pack weights, as seen in previous years, potentially making TOTY cards harder to acquire. Last year, full TOTY card releases caused significant price spikes in the market, with Ruben Díaz jumping from 2.6 million coins to almost double in just a couple of days.
Players are already reacting to market dynamics, with cards like Rodri rising by 400,000 coins in one day and Jude Bellingham climbing from under 7 million to 8 million coins in just 48 hours. Even Mohamed Salah experienced a jump from 4.8 million to 5.2 million coins. These rapid increases reflect the elite status of TOTY cards, bolstered by their unique three PlayStyle+ features and unmatched stats.
The Impact of Lightning Rounds and Evolutions on FC 25 TOTY Prices
EA’s approach to content drops this year appears more restrained compared to previous years. Lightning rounds, which were position-specific last year, are absent, reducing the influx of TOTY cards into the market. The reduced supply, coupled with the incredible demand for TOTY cards, has led to inflated prices. For instance, CBA is priced at a staggering 9 million coins, significantly higher than comparable cards from previous years.
Evolutions (EVOs) have also played a role in market fluctuations. EA’s introduction of high-value EVOs, such as the 500k coin evolution, can drive TOTY prices down temporarily. If EA releases more impactful EVOs or SBCs (Squad Building Challenges), this could lead to momentary dips in prices, creating opportunities for buyers. However, without such events, TOTY cards are likely to maintain their premium pricing.
Investment Strategies for FC 25 TOTY
For players looking to invest, timing is crucial. Observing supply trends and EA’s content releases, such as potential SBCs and EVOs, can provide valuable insights into market movements. Market history suggests a post-TOTY market rise, making this period ideal for strategic investments. Cards with two PlayStyle+ features, recent promo releases, or meta cards from Winter Wildcards and Numero Uno FUT promos are expected to maintain high demand.
Budget-conscious players can also find opportunities in undervalued meta cards. For example, players like Sophia Smith and Van Dijk’s in-form card present excellent trading options. Watching trends, especially for cards involved in EVOs or SBCs, can yield significant returns.
Upcoming TOTY Content and Leaks
The TOTY event continues with exciting upcoming content.
EA will refresh popular SBCs, like the 85+ Player Pick and 84×5 packs, which players favor for pulling TOTY cards. Additionally, EA will add new EVOs and Team of the Year Honorable Mentions, including players like Lionel Messi, Erling Haaland, and Florian Wirtz, to packs tomorrow.
These additions are likely to impact specific league upgrade packs, with La Liga and Bundesliga packs gaining popularity due to the number of TOTY Honorable Mentions from these leagues. Players saving high-value packs for this release may find better odds for pulling TOTY or TOTY Honorable Mention cards.
