The Team of the Season hype in FC 25 has triggered the most intense market crash of the year. Prices across the board are falling fast, with top-tier players losing hundreds of thousands of coins in value in just hours.
This isn’t just a minor dip. It’s a full-blown crash caused by a combination of TOTS leaks, a rumored paid season pass, and waves of panic selling. And with more leaks expected this week, the drop is likely far from over.
FC 25 market in freefall as TOTS leaks drive panic
In just a few days, big-name players have lost massive value. Barbo dropped from over 1.1 million coins on Monday morning to around 810,000 by that night. Javi crashed from 1 million to 650,000. Rodri, who peaked at 4.8 million in March, is now around 1.7 million.
These are not isolated examples. The market has entered a sharp decline with nearly every high-value card following the same trend. The sell-off is being driven by daily TOTS leaks and the uncertainty surrounding a potential paid season pass that could bring major in-game rewards.
Why the market is crashing so hard
There are several reasons for this sharp crash:
- Daily TOTS leaks are causing panic. As more players find out what’s coming, they’re offloading current cards to make room for upgrades.
- A leaked season pass could offer huge value for coins. If EA launches a pass that includes strong cards and it’s affordable, most players will rush to buy it using their coins.
- Team of the Season pack weight is usually high. TOTS cards are historically more packable than other promos. Players expect to pack usable cards more often, which leads to widespread selling.
- Upgrades and SBCs are coming. With every new upgrade pack, the community holds off on spending and instead prepares to grind. This stalls demand and adds even more supply to the market.
The season pass could shake the entire market
One of the biggest factors causing panic is the leak of FC 25’s first ever paid season pass. Among the early names linked to the pass is Dan Burn, who appears to be getting a massive upgrade. His leaked version includes 86 pace, 95 physical, and 95 defending, making him a legitimate endgame defender.
If this pass is affordable and available for coins, players will dump large parts of their clubs to afford it. That drains the market of liquidity and accelerates price drops. EA has not confirmed anything officially, but just the leak is enough to cause massive ripple effects.
Trading opportunities still exist but are risky
Despite the panic, some traders are managing to make profits in short windows. A good example is Donyell Malen. He dropped from 500,000 coins to 362,000, then rebounded to over 400,000 in just a few hours. That kind of flip brought in 20,000 coins of profit.
But it’s risky. This market is unstable and trying to time these small rebounds can easily backfire. If you’re trying to flip cards right now, you need to move quickly and be prepared for prices to keep falling.
For most players, the safer option is to stay liquid and wait for more leaks. Once the full Ligue 1 TOTS lineup is revealed and the season pass details are official, market conditions could stabilize.
Fodder and TOTW cards showing signs of strength
While high-end cards are crashing, there is some strength in the market for TOTW cards and low to mid-tier fodder. TOTW items that were 10,000 to 11,000 coins last week are now hovering around 17,000 coins and could rise more depending on upgrade SBC demand.
Fodder in the 85 to 87 range remains low. With strong SBCs expected for Ligue 1 TOTS, especially involving new playstyle plus players, these could see a jump in value. If you have coins and want to invest safely, this is one of the few areas with potential upside.
