The FC 25 Future Stars update brings in a ton of new options for Evolutions, which is what this week is going to be all about. The Future Stars Academy Evo allows an upgrade from an 80-rated card to a 91-rated Icon Evo. Additional Evolutions have been introduced in objectives, including one that upgrades 75-rated or lower cards to 90-rated center-attacking midfielders with two PlayStyle+ attributes. Leaks suggest even more Evolutions are on the horizon. The ability to complete two Evolutions simultaneously has further fueled engagement. However, the SBC grind remains an essential aspect of team-building, with many anticipating new upgrade packs and their impact on the market.
FC 25 Future Stars Prices and Market Strategies
Following Team of the Year, many players are looking for ways to replenish their coin balance. Future Stars cards have seen fluctuations, with many stabilizing in price. Players like Endrick, Lavia, and Lamine Yamal have found their price range, while icons and promo cards experienced minor shifts. Some cards have fluctuated due to Squad Battle rewards, but overall, the market remains relatively unchanged.
One of the most notable additions is Lucas Bergvall’s 87-rated card, which, when upgraded through the Rigid Backbone Evo, transforms into an elite-tier midfielder. The affordability and effectiveness of this upgrade have made Bergvall a popular investment, particularly among Premier League and Spurs fans.
SBC Content and Upgrade Packs
Several SBCs returned, including the 88+ Mixed Icon Player Pick and 87+ Mixed Hero Player Pick, both offering a chance at highly rated players. The daily objectives and upgrade packs have provided an efficient way to grind these SBCs. The 84×5 upgrade, which required Team of the Week cards, significantly impacted inform prices. However, with its expiration, informs have seen a decline in value. Many are now speculating about potential replacements in upcoming content drops.
One of the biggest SBCs released was Robin van Persie’s Icon SBC. While the card boasts five-star weak foot and solid PlayStyles, its price tag of 660,000 coins has sparked debate, especially when compared to Harry Kane’s TOTY Honorable Mentions card, which offers superior stats at a lower cost.
Evolution Market Impact and Trading Opportunities
The demand for Evolution-compatible cards has led to massive price surges for specific bronzes, silvers, and low-rated golds. The Versatile Attacking Midfielder Evo, a free upgrade, has seen players rise in value due to their potential transformations. Some of these cards have hit max price or become extinct on the market.
Players leveraging Evolution chains—such as pairing Sharpshooter Evo with the Midfielder Evo—have maximized their returns by creating highly customized and valuable cards. These chains have added an additional layer of strategy to player development.
Looking ahead, market trends suggest that Future Stars cards may continue to drop in price throughout the week. Monday typically brings a small rebound, but long-term price stability remains uncertain. With many traders focusing on out-of-pack investments, the volatility of in-pack Future Stars remains a key area to watch. Evolutions are carrying this promo, creating valuable cards with massive boosts.
