Black Friday is one of the most anticipated promos in FC 25, offering players unique content, lightning SBCs, and the opportunity to capitalize on the market. While EA Sports hasn’t officially announced all the details for this year’s event, the community is already buzzing with speculation and preparation. Here’s everything you need to know to get ahead.
What is the Black Friday promo in FC 25?
Black Friday in FC 25 is a yearly event that brings a flood of content, including:
- Flash SBCs: These limited-time Squad Building Challenges (SBCs) are released hourly and offer lucrative rewards like packs and special players.
- Best of Campaigns: A curated selection of high-performing cards from previous promos makes a return to packs, creating huge market fluctuations.
- Daily Login Challenges: Easy-to-complete objectives offering pack rewards for logging in daily.
- Upgrade SBCs: Repeatable SBCs like 81+ doubles and 85+ upgrades allow players to grind for top-tier rewards.
Last year’s Black Friday saw the introduction of the Thunderstruck promo, featuring iconic players like Neymar, Kaka, and Thierry Henry. Players are hopeful EA Sports will continue to innovate with similar marquee events this year.
How to prepare for Black Friday in FC 25
Preparation is key to getting the most out of Black Friday. Here’s how you can set yourself up for success:
- Stock your club with silvers and bronzes
During Black Friday, many Flash SBCs require low-rated players. Silvers and bronzes from rare nations and popular leagues often skyrocket in price. Start buying these cards now while prices are low to either use in SBCs or sell for a profit. - Hold on to Team of the Week (TOTW) cards
TOTW cards are often needed for high-value SBCs during Black Friday. If you’ve earned these cards through FUT Champs or Rivals, don’t sell them yet. Last year, TOTW cards saw massive price spikes, reaching 40k during the promo. - Stay liquid
Avoid locking your coins into expensive cards or investments. The market typically dips leading up to Black Friday as players sell off assets to prepare for the promo. Staying liquid ensures you have the flexibility to pounce on deals. - Complete pre-Black Friday SBCs
EA often drops upgrade SBCs before Black Friday to help players prepare their clubs. Make sure to complete these challenges to stockpile packs and increase your chances of packing top-tier players during the promo.
What to expect from the market during Black Friday
The FC 25 market experiences significant volatility during Black Friday. Historically, we’ve seen:
- Major drops in gold card prices: Cards like Vinícius Júnior and Virgil van Dijk often lose value in the days leading up to Black Friday as supply increases and demand shifts to special cards.
- Rebounds on out-of-pack cards: Cards removed from packs, such as those featured in Best of Campaigns, tend to rise in price post-promo due to increased scarcity.
- Panic selling: Many players panic sell their squads to prepare for the promo, creating buying opportunities for savvy traders.
If you’re looking to profit, focus on day trading during the promo. Monitor player prices closely and look for undervalued cards during periods of high supply, such as lightning rounds.
