EA Finally Fixes Hero Player Picks in FC 25 ⇒ FUTFC

EA has made a significant change to one of the most popular SBCs in FC 25 by removing base Hero cards from the Hero player picks. This long-awaited update means players will no longer be stuck packing low-tier base Heroes, improving the overall quality of these SBCs. The change is a step in the right direction, but many are still waiting for EA to remove base Icons from the Icon player picks as well.

For weeks, FC 25 players have been asking for better SBC rewards, and EA has finally responded. With Icon and Hero player picks being a major part of Sunday content, this update will likely lead to a shift in the market as players adjust their strategies.

Fantasy FC Market Crash and Investment Opportunities

The Fantasy FC promo has caused major market shifts, with some cards skyrocketing in price while others have crashed after poor performances. Players like Benjamin Pavard saw a huge price drop after Inter’s draw against Napoli, with his card falling from nearly 600,000 coins to under 400,000 coins. On the other hand, players like PSG’s Kylian Mbappé saw their prices increase significantly after strong performances.

If you’re looking for short-term investments, keep an eye on panic sales. Many cards dip right after a match, and then rebound within hours as investors re-enter the market. Monitoring price trends on platforms like FUTBIN can help traders make informed decisions.

Ashley Cole and Dennis Bergkamp SBCs – Are They Worth It?

The latest Icon SBCs have stirred up debate within the FC 25 community. Ashley Cole’s SBC was released on Saturday, but at a staggering cost of 686,000 coins. The 89-rated squad requirement has made it far too expensive for many players, despite the solid upgrades he received over his Thunderstruck version.

Coming up today is another Icon SBC featuring Dennis Bergkamp. His 92-rated card has decent stats, including 92 shooting and 90 dribbling, but given EA’s pricing trends, many are expecting this SBC to be overpriced as well. Unless Bergkamp gets a significant skill move or weak foot upgrade, he may not be worth completing, especially considering the abundance of top-tier attackers already in the game.

Best SBC Fodder Investments for Today

Sundays have become one of the best days to invest in SBC fodder, as Squad Battle rewards typically cause a slight dip in prices. With another Icon and Hero player pick coming, high-rated fodder is expected to rise again.

Here are the key price trends to watch:

85-rated cards: Dropped to around 3.7K last Sunday and rebounded to 4.3K by Wednesday.
86-rated cards: Went as low as 5K before climbing back up to nearly 7K.
88-rated cards: Dropped to 14K before peaking at 18K after SBC releases.

If the new SBCs require similar squad ratings as last week, investing in 85 to 88-rated cards during today’s price dips could be a smart move. However, 89+ rated cards are a bit riskier since EA may not include an 89-rated squad requirement again.

Final Thoughts on EA’s SBC Changes

While removing base Heroes from player picks is a positive change, the community is still waiting for EA to apply the same treatment to base Icons. The level 40 Icon pick in the season rewards has proven how much better these SBCs can be when lower-rated versions are removed.

For now, players should keep an eye on the market, take advantage of panic sales on Fantasy FC cards, and make smart investments in SBC fodder. With EA establishing a pattern of releasing Icon and Hero player picks every Sunday, investing in high-rated fodder today could lead to easy profits in the coming days.
