Alongside Giroud, EA also released a 1 of 4 97+ FUTTIES Player Pick, giving players the chance to select from four FUTTIES Team 1-5 players rated 97 or higher. Icons are excluded from this selection, but the pool still includes some of the most valuable and meta cards in FC 25.
This SBC is repeatable, which means you can complete it a maximum of two times.

It is a high-risk SBC, but the reward ceiling is huge. Players like 99 Messi, 98 Mbappé, 98 Bellingham or 97 João Félix are all potential pulls. If your club is stacked and you want to chase top-tier attackers, this pick is worth the shot.
Giroud SBC is more than a meme card
Giroud has always been a FUT cult hero, but this card is no joke. With 96 pace and 97 dribbling now added to his already world-class shooting and physical stats, he becomes an all-around threat capable of competing at the highest level.
The combination of power, aerial ability and now skill moves and weak foot upgrades makes him a true endgame card. He finally has the mobility to go along with his finishing, making him a great fit even for Division 1 or FUT Champs players.
Should you do the 1 of 4 97+ FUTTIES Player Pick?
If you’ve got the fodder, the 1 of 4 97+ FUTTIES Player Pick is a fun and rewarding risk. The 88 and 89-rated squads are not cheap, but the potential return can include some of the highest-rated non-Icon cards in the game. Just keep in mind that duplicates are possible and some players may not fit your squad.
It is best used after completing other SBCs like Blanc, João Félix or Jill Scott to avoid duplicate pulls. Always check your club first before submitting.
