EA just delivered one of the biggest surprises of the Futties promo. The unlimited 84×10 Squad Building Challenge is back—and this time, it’s paired with what appears to be the removal or lifting of SBC bans. Players have reported being able to complete hundreds of picks and exchanges without running into the usual daily cap. This change transforms the FC 25 endgame grind, especially with 85x10s also refreshable seven times per day.
The unlimited 84×10 can now be looped alongside the 89+ exchanges. Even low-rated fodder like 82s and 83s finally has meaningful value. Players can sink those cards into the regular 84×10 or Team of the Week packs without wasting them. The 89+ exchanges load the club with cards of all tiers, allowing users to strategically funnel 87s–88s into campaign picks, 89+ cards back into exchanges, and lower-rated fodder into repeatable SBCs. The grind has officially opened up.
Training Camp EVO and Rooney vs. Puskás
A new Training Camp EVO just dropped, giving a strong 99 passing boost along with key playstyles like Tiki Taka+, Whipped Pass+, Long Ball+, and more. It requires minimal effort—two tasks, two days each—with a full 13-day window to finish. While EA’s rollout of EVOs has been inconsistent, this version feels like a solid addition for those looking to stack another 99-passing card.
Meanwhile, on the player SBC side, the debate begins: Rooney or Puskás? Wayne Rooney’s five playstyle pluses make him flexible and dominant at CAM, and his value feels strong given the current pack grind. Puskás, though, comes with 99 shooting, 96 pace, and elite playstyles like Quick Step and Travella—but requires 14 squads. Dominic Solanke is also available with standout stats and just three squads, though he lacks Tiki Taka and defending playstyles. Liverpool fans or casual grinders may find his value hard to ignore.
Pack Strategy: How to Maximize Value (84×10 SBC)
With the 85×10 and 84×10 grinds in full swing, every rating has a purpose. The suggested approach:
-
89+ fodder: Goes back into the 89 exchanges.
-
87–88s: Ideal for campaign player picks.
-
86–82s: Useful in 84×10 and Team of the Week packs.
-
Below 82s: Can be funneled into 83+ player picks for a small chance at specials.
The big catch? Pack weight. Despite 234 cards being in packs, some players are seeing too many all-gold 84x10s. The 85x10s currently offer better returns, often dropping 6–7 special cards in one go. In contrast, exchange packs and standard 84x10s feel less rewarding.
Still, with the right loop, players can grind infinitely. Most importantly, the lifting of soft bans means players can craft hundreds of packs without platform-switching or facing build limits. While not officially confirmed, community testing points to a real change.
Market Movements and What to Watch Next
Team of the Week cards have skyrocketed, hitting 20,000 coins or more. Many gold cards have dropped in price due to oversupply, with high-profile names like Heung-Min Son, Thierry Henry, and Ruud Gullit falling sharply. On the flip side, rare packable Futties Women’s Euro Winner cards are seeing huge value swings. Chloe Kelly hit 2 million coins, but there are fewer than 20 of her on the market. Ella Toone has also spiked, while others remain scarce.
As for today’s content, another icon pick could arrive, but expectations are tempered since EA rarely tweaks the format much. Xavi Simons, Loïs Openda, Kobbie Mainoo, and Tomas Brolin are rumored player SBCs still to come. A new cup or EVO may drop, though nothing is guaranteed.
With repeatable SBCs back, soft bans lifted, and a rich pool of packable cards, the current grind has reached its peak. Whether chasing Rooney, crafting Puskás, or recycling 84s into Team of the Week packs, this is the ideal time to stay in the menus.
