EA Sports has made another major upgrade error in EA FC 25, and this time, Omar Marmoush was the unexpected winner. His Fantasy promo card was supposed to receive only a +1 overall upgrade, but EA accidentally gave him a +2, pushing him from 93-rated to 95-rated.
This mistake immediately caused his price to skyrocket, jumping from 1.5 million coins to over 2 million as traders and players rushed to get their hands on the overpowered card. EA later acknowledged the mistake but confirmed they will not be fixing it, meaning Marmoush owners get to keep the extra boost for free.
How EA’s error impacted the Fantasy market
The moment Marmoush’s incorrect upgrade went live, the market reacted with a buying frenzy.His sudden boost in rating and stats made him one of the best attacking midfielders in the game, leading to a rapid price increase.
Meanwhile, other Fantasy cards that received expected upgrades did not see the same price spikes:
- Benjamin Pavard got Bruiser+ and Aerial+, but his price only rose slightly.
- Khvicha Kvaratskhelia actually dropped in value after his final upgrade.
- Rodrygo remained stable, showing that not every upgrade leads to a major price surge.
This situation highlights how one EA mistake can drastically shift the market, favoring certain cards while others remain overlooked.
Will EA compensate other Fantasy card owners?
Since EA won’t correct the error, some players are questioning whether other Fantasy promo cards that didn’t receive expected upgrades will be compensated.
This isn’t the first time EA has mismanaged live promo upgrades, but historically, they do not offer compensation in these cases. If anything, this mistake serves as a reminder of how unpredictable live card investments can be in EA FC 25.
Should you buy or sell Marmoush now?
With his 95 rating, five-star skills, and 98 pace, Marmoush remains an elite-level attacker in EA FC 25. His price quickly surged to 2 million coins, but as more players list him on the market, it may stabilize or drop slightly.
If you already own him, it might be best to hold onto him unless his price starts to fall. If you’re looking to buy, wait and monitor his price over the next few days to avoid overpaying.
