The market saw fluctuations yesterday, with prices dropping in areas as expected but increasing in others. A new investment window has opened for a specific group of FC 25 cards that may have been part of your portfolio, offering a chance for long-term holds. An official SBC card was also expected to drop in the game, which could potentially slot into teams if players completed previous SBCs. This SBC would link well with other cards, enhancing squad flexibility.
Road to the Knockouts Upgrades
The Road to the Knockouts upgrades began, with several cards receiving their first boosts. Clubs that achieved two wins in the Women’s Champions League resulted in upgrades, including Diani, who received a +1 overall rating. This might indicate how future upgrades will work, as the current pattern shows a simple +1 increase across all stats. Keep an eye on cards related to upcoming Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League matches, as their values are likely to rise based on performance.
New Objectives and Cards
In the new objectives section, a World Tour player card for Atlántida’s Jul Pérez with Liga F links was introduced. The card offers decent pace but no playstyle upgrades. Other objectives featured TCH cards with a 9-game loan Virgil van Dijk, and additional cards such as Haaland and Rodri that will likely be common in weekend league matches. Total Rush content introduced new modes, including “Gold Frenzy,” which allows players to accumulate a significant number of rush points. Some players reported gaining over 20,000 rush points in a single match, likely due to the 800 SP reward per goal, which seems to be an intended feature, not a glitch.
SBCs and Fodder Investments
Yesterday saw the release of Georginio Rutter as an SBC, which drew attention due to his 5-star skill moves and weak foot. He boasts 88 pace, 87 dribbling, and overall solid stats. With trickster playstyle for better fake shots, he becomes a useful option, particularly in the center attacking mid or striker role. His strength and stamina stats also make him a formidable presence in-game. At 170,000 coins, his Premier League and French links provide strong team integration options.
The Team of the Week upgrade also returned, offering a chance for players to stock up on high-rated fodder. With 89-rated cards at around 22K and 90-rated cards at 32-33K, investing in fodder might be a strategic move, especially with the likelihood of higher-rated SBCs appearing soon. These could include potential icon player SBCs that demand higher-rated squads.
Team 2 in Total Rush Promo
The second team in the Total Rush promo featured several notable upgrades. Lewandowski received a significant pace boost, while Salah’s position change to striker added more variety to his in-game role. Meanwhile, other high-profile players like Messi and Neymar saw small upgrades, with Messi getting a slight pace boost. Neymar’s dynamic image with a cap also drew attention, as his card saw a considerable price spike, rising to 1.6 million coins from his gold card’s 40,000 coin value.
On the lower tier, cards like Guerreiro and Benrahma attracted interest. Guerreiro’s versatility in the center-mid position, combined with impressive dribbling, passing, and playstyle boosts, makes him a standout box-to-box midfielder. Benrahma and Rodriguez offer additional budget-friendly options for players looking to enhance their squads.
