EA has announced a new FC 25 title update but offered almost no detail on its contents. The official notes simply state it will bring “updates to some internal processes.” The lack of clarity has led to speculation from players, with some pointing toward a potential fix for the ongoing quicksell recovery glitch. This issue has persisted since EA removed SBC bans, leaving some unable to recover cards. Other theories include adjustments to pack weight or hidden gameplay tweaks. The update could arrive today or tomorrow, so its size and impact will be worth monitoring.

Toni Kroos Joins FC 26 Pre-Order Icons
On the FC 26 side, EA officially revealed Toni Kroos as part of the pre-order icon lineup, joining Alex Morgan, Zlatan Ibrahimović, and Ronaldo (R9). The card shown in the reveal trailer is rated 90, but this is likely the upgraded November version. Early pre-order packs will probably include an 86–87 rated Kroos that will receive a boost later in the year. The teaser also hinted at Marcelo being the next icon announcement, with leaks suggesting more names such as Oliver Kahn, Taty Castellanos, Ashlyn Harris, and Kelley O’Hara could follow soon.
86×11 FC 25 SBC Impact and Market Window
The release of 86×11 SBCs has driven down TOTS card prices, with items that recently sold for 27,000 coins now dropping to around 18,000–19,000. This dip offers a short-term investment opportunity, as these cards could rebound to 25,000 coins within days. Players like Scott McTominay, Rúben Neves, and Bruno Fernandes, who are currently in packs, are prime targets for bidding. High-value fuyties cards have also seen price drops — Mohamed Salah at 1.6 million coins and Cole Palmer at 1.8 million — creating additional buying potential.
Preseason Promo Outlook
The preseason promo bridges the gap between FC 25 and FC 26, rewarding play in the current game with carryover packs for the new release. It typically features massive re-release batches of over 200 cards, starting with futties Team 1 and Team 2 in week one, then rotating through the later teams in following weeks. Transfer-themed SBCs and objectives are expected, with special cards for high-profile summer moves like Trent Alexander-Arnold, Jeremie Frimpong, Kyle Walker, Florian Wirtz, Kevin De Bruyne, Leroy Sané, and Matheus Cunha. Many could be rated 98 or 99.
Rewards in FC 26 will mirror previous years, with objectives, evolutions, and potentially the premium season pass offering high-value starter packs such as 82×10 or 84×5. EA has been known to gate some of these behind the premium pass, which could cost around 500,000 coins, so saving coins in advance may pay off.
Season 10 and SBC Content
Season 10, launching Thursday, is already leaked to be called “Preseason,” aligning with the promo theme. It will likely feature transfer cards, FC 26 packs, evolutions, and big SBCs. Pack codes surfaced for guaranteed futties packs and high-rated bundles, and they suggest weekly play objectives may tie to them. The community is still waiting for the first 99-rated player SBC, which could arrive during preseason. Options range from Caroline Graham Hansen to Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Ousmane Dembélé, and Ruud Gullit. For now, shapeshifter-style SBCs remain common.
Tuesday’s FC 25 Expected Content
The one-of-five futties player pick for Teams 1–4 is due for an update to include Team 5, maintaining its strong pull rate for 99-rated players. A leaked Amadou Haidara futties card is a possible SBC for today, offering defensive stability as a stay-back DM. While a new evolution is uncertain, the current streak suggests EA might keep the momentum going. Weekly Rush objectives should refresh, providing more opportunities for pack grinding.
