This weekend served as a good reminder related to FC 25 Ultimate Team content, as players navigate all these SBCs, objectives, and Evolutions constantly being added. Sometimes, it’s worth waiting, and yesterday’s content really proved that. This discussion aims to cover that massive FC 25 SBC, which makes it clear why skipping some of the recent ones was beneficial.
Market Trading and Coin-Making Opportunities
The market experienced a rise yesterday, and there’s another opportunity today with Squad Battle rewards. These rewards present an easy way to make coins, and the following content will explain how to take advantage of this opportunity.
Let’s quickly dive into yesterday’s Saturday content. The new Squad Foundations appeared in the objectives and Milestones tab, with the Women’s Super League offering some decent cards. Additionally, an SBC player, Ebony Salmon, became available. She previously had an evolution or promo card that was cracked, and her current card looks worth the 19,000 coins. With 90 Pace and Quick Step plus the speed boost, this SBC is definitely an easy, quick completion for a Super Sub card. Not much else to say about this card except for its effectiveness with Quick Step plus, which is quite meta at the moment.
FC 25 SBC: Backline Booster and Evolution Changes
This Evo works for building a fun past-and-present team of a club fan, adding value even without offering a super meta player. It creates a solid upgrade and a fun card through simple gameplay.
Now, for the real content, let’s discuss the SBCs. Yesterday’s leak before the content drop sparked excitement, especially upon confirmation of the End of an Era Raphaël Varane SBC. This release represents a FIFA Legend’s final return in Ultimate Team after retiring. News of Varane’s retirement came a few weeks ago after a short stint with Kom and Theia, with injuries as the main cause. EA has also significantly boosted this card’s stats, including key play styles like Stopper ++, Defender +, and Ball Playing. With strong roles in the center-back position, this card also features play styles like Pinged Pass, Block, Anticipate, Aerial, and Intercept +, making it exceptional for a defender.
Iconic Evolution of Raphaël Varane
Agility and balance have always posed issues for Varane, but this card remains consistently good in-game. Varane’s previous cards, such as his 88 last year, were popular and highly effective. Going back through the years, Varane’s 94 TOTs in FIFA 23 was iconic, and even in FIFA 20, his 97-rated card was considered legendary. The Team of the Year Varane card was another high point. Many played him at right back, with this card proving dominant. Over the past couple of years, Varane’s cards consistently demonstrated high utility, and the latest one continues that trend.
Should You Complete the Varane FC 25 SBC?
The key question is whether to invest coins and complete the Varane SBC. It’s important to save fodder for moments like this. As mentioned in previous videos, impatience would have led to spending resources on cards like Nico Williams or ASM instead. Waiting proved beneficial, as Varane’s SBC is available for 30 days and offers high usability beyond that timeframe.
Waiting often yields better results, as the SBCs presented weekly often aren’t must-haves unless for specific favorites like club loyalty. Resources are more abundant than ever, making a patient approach to SBC completion a valuable tactic.
