The long-awaited EA Sports FC 25 Web App has finally launched, and players are now scrambling to gain an edge on the competition. With the ability to start building your Ultimate Team before the full game drops, the Web App offers an exciting opportunity to set yourself up for success in FC 25. But what’s the best way to make the most of this crucial period? In this guide, we’ll break down everything you need to know about getting started on the Web App, from choosing your starter nation to maximizing your coin balance through key trading tips.
When Does the FC 25 Web App Drop?
The big question on everyone’s mind is: When will the Web App drop? Based on past releases, EA typically launches the Web App around 6:00 p.m. UK time. However, the release can be staggered, so some players may get access a little earlier or later. To avoid frustration, it’s a good idea to log into your EA account ahead of time. Ensure that your authentication method is up to date—preferably using an app rather than text or email. The login servers are likely to be overloaded, so having backup access codes saved can save you time and stress.
Preparing for the Web App Launch
Once you gain access to the Web App, the first decisions you make can impact your initial success. Here’s a quick checklist of what to do right away:
- Choose Your Starter Nation: Select from popular nations like Brazil, France, Germany, or Spain. While your starter nation isn’t critical long-term, nations with more high-value players, like Brazil or France, might offer better short-term options.
- Quick Sell Your Starter Kit and Badge: After choosing your nation, quick sell the starter kit and badge. Opt for popular clubs or nations to maximize your coin return right from the start.
- Open Welcome Back Packs: EA has confirmed that returning users will receive Welcome Back packs. The biggest question surrounding these packs is whether they will be tradable or untradable. Either way, open them and review the players you receive—this will dictate your next steps.
Completing SBCs for Early Gains
Once your initial setup is complete, head straight to the Squad Building Challenges (SBCs) section. Start with Foundations 1 SBC, which will unlock the rest of the SBCs. This is crucial because completing these challenges will give you early rewards and set you up to access higher-level SBCs.
After the Foundation SBC, focus on Hybrid Leagues and Nations SBCs. These advanced challenges offer significant rewards, though it’s unclear if the SBC packs will be tradable during the Web App period. Regardless, SBCs will help you grow your squad and give you valuable players to trade or use.

Maximizing Coins: Trading and Objectives
The main challenge players face during the Web App period is building a strong coin balance. Here’s how to approach it:
1. Trading on the Market
- Focus on bronzes, as they’re often required for early SBCs. Players completing Hybrid League SBCs will be looking for specific nations and positions, so research which bronze cards are in demand.
- If EA provides untradable Welcome Back packs, trading will become more challenging as fewer players will be on the market with tradable assets. In this case, patience is key, as tradable cards will rise in value over time.
2. Using Objectives to Earn Coins
- Keep an eye out for Milestone Objectives like the Transfer Market Mastery challenge, which rewards players with coins for listing items. If this objective returns in FC 25, listing 50, 100, or 250 players could earn you several thousand coins quickly.
- Another way to earn coins early is by completing smaller objectives like changing your club name, applying chemistry styles, or swapping player positions. These tasks provide XP and occasionally pack rewards that can boost your squad.
Understanding the Market: What to Expect
Trading during the Web App period can be tricky because there’s no gameplay demand yet. Most players will be focused on SBCs and building their squads. This means certain player types—particularly those required for SBCs—will rise in value.
Cards from Team of the Week 1 (TOTW1) are usually a good investment if you’re lucky enough to pack one. With names like Lionel Messi, Karim Benzema, and Theo Hernández leaked for TOTW1, these players will be highly sought after. Keep an eye on their prices and consider buying them early if they drop below expected values.
Evolution of Players: A New Feature to Watch
FC 25 introduces the Evolutions feature, which allows players to upgrade specific cards. Evolutions will likely be a crucial aspect of squad-building strategies, as they offer new ways to enhance key players. Leaked information suggests that Intro to Evolutions and Roll Plus+ Evolutions could be available on day one.
As players figure out the best cards to evolve, certain items on the market will see price spikes. Watch for early signs of which players are being used in Evolutions and consider investing before their prices skyrocket.
Additional Tips for FC 25 Web App Success
- Complete Foundation Objectives: These small tasks can provide packs and coins, giving you a head start on building your team.
- Monitor SBC Solution Trading: As solutions for SBCs become available on websites like FUTBin, consider investing in the required players early. This type of trading can yield consistent profits as other players scramble to complete the challenges.
- Be Patient with Trades: With fewer tradable cards in circulation during the Web App period, trading profits will be slower. Focus on SBC completion and Objectives while waiting for the full release to ramp up market activity.
