It’s been a tough week for Team of the Season (TOTS) cards as they remain expensive, regardless of whether the player is meta or not. The requirement for TOTS cards for the 84 x 10 SBCs is causing their prices to skyrocket daily. There is a moment when they do get cheaper, and that is mostly on reward days. Big news related to FC25 was revealed in the Deep Dive and the Ultimate Team trailer. Key points include the new game modes and the biggest topics in FC25.

SBC Overview
Starting with the SBC, Sunday featured a confusing player SBC: Ever Banega, a randomly released 96-rated Footies Premium SBC. Despite good playstyle pluses, four-star five-star, and high work rates, the stats are mediocre. It’s one of the most random SBCs in the entire Footies promo. However, it serves as one of the cheapest 96-rated cards via SBC, requiring just an 86 overall squad, costing around 30,000 coins. It’s a good option for those needing a high-rated card for crafting.
The main SBCs were the two-player picks: the 82+ player pick and the 87+ player pick. The 82+ player pick is back with no changes, requiring two rares and eight golds, great for crafting. The 87+ player pick, upgraded from the 85+ and 86+, requires a Team of the Season or Team of the Week card, making it less appealing due to the FC 24 TOTS requirement. Surprisingly, after opening 84×10 and 85×10 SBCs, it seemed easier to pack TOTS cards. Many noticed an increase in TOTS card drop rates. Prices for TOTS cards, despite increasing, did not reach previous highs, suggesting EA might have adjusted the drop rates.
Team of the Season Card Prices – FC 24 TOTS
TOTS cards are currently around 50,000 coins. With the requirement of FC 24 TOTS cards for the 87+ player pick SBC, prices increased but not as drastically as before. EA possibly allowed more FC 24 TOTS cards to be packed, stabilizing the market. The daily login was completable yesterday, rewarding an 83×5 for the fifth completion and a free 84×10, providing extra fodder.
FC25 Ultimate Team Reveal Deep Dive
Rush Points and Weekly Objectives
Rush Points are earned in the new Rush game mode, which replaces XP with SP (Season Points). Weekly objectives in Rush mode will be crucial for progression. The FCIQ feature will show player roles on cards, aiding in understanding active positions and roles.
Evolutions
Evolutions have been updated, allowing more players to be evolved. There are upgrade limits on attributes, meaning players can be evolved even if they exceed certain limits.
Division Rivals
Division Rivals now have a Legacy division placement system, starting players in lower divisions and removing the three reward sets to reduce confusion. The new walkout animation in FC25 brings back the tunnel aspect, offering a quick and visually appealing reveal of the player and card details. The FC25 closed beta starts today, running until August 27th. Codes are expected to be sent out soon, with content creators and testers likely to receive access.
Footies Prices and Investments
Footies cards are dropping in price, making it a good time to consider investments. Some cards, like Usman Dembele, have hit their lowest prices, offering potential for a rise later in the week.
Expect another 94+ player pick today, likely including Footies Team 3. A new player SBC is anticipated, possibly a random release like Ever Banega. It’s the last day to sell FC 24 TOTS cards before prices drop due to new releases. Investing in 84-rated cards at 1.2 to 1.3k coins and 85-rated cards at around 2.5k coins could be profitable with the upcoming SBC refresh.
