The highly anticipated Ligue 1/D1 Arkema Guaranteed TOTS SBC is expected to drop tonight at 7PM CEST, giving FC 25 players a guaranteed shot at one Team of the Season item from the active French top-flight squads, including both men’s Ligue 1 and women’s D1 Arkema. But like every SBC of this kind, it’s a gamble. You might pull a million-coin superstar or end up with a discard-price card.
Here’s a breakdown of the best value players and the worst pulls based on current market prices.
Best Value Pulls
These are the players you want to see walk out:
🇫🇷 Ousmane Dembélé (97 ST/RM/CAM/RW) – 6.2M Coins
The jackpot. With 5★ skill moves and 5★ weak foot, 99 pace and 97 dribbling, Dembélé is one of the most complete attackers in the game.
🇫🇷 Bradley Barcola (96 LW/LM/RW) – 1.64M Coins
A meta winger with incredible dribbling and 5★ skills. Top-tier value for wide playmakers.
🇵🇹 João Neves (96 CM/CDM) – 1.6M Coins
An elite midfield engine with high work rates, great agility and ball control, and 5★ weak foot. Hugely versatile and valuable.
🇺🇸 Lindsey Horan (97 CAM/CM) – 1.01M Coins
Excellent passing and physical presence. One of the best all-around midfielders in the game, especially for those building D1 Arkema hybrids.
🇪🇨 Willian Pacho (95 CB) – 867K Coins
Fast, tall, and physical. A center-back built for the current meta with strong links and top defensive traits.
🇲🇼 Tabitha Chawinga (96 LW/ST) – 770K Coins
99 pace and elite finishing make her one of the most explosive forwards in this promo.
🇫🇷 Wendie Renard (95 CB) – 719K Coins
Aerial monster and one of the most dominant defenders in the women’s game. Strong links and meta stats make her a huge SBC win.
🇫🇷 Clara Mateo (96 ST/RM/CAM) – 668K Coins
Great movement, 5★ weak foot, and perfect traits for a forward or wide cam. Strong option for hybrid squads.
🇵🇹 Nuno Mendes (95 LB/CB) – 373K Coins
Explosive full-back who can play centrally if needed. One of the best-value defenders under 500K.
🇭🇹 Melchie Dumornay (95 ST/CM) – 268K Coins
Great box-to-box option who brings 98 pace and high IGS. Underrated but dominant.
🇵🇹 Vitinha (95 CM/CDM) – 225K Coins
Excellent playmaker with 5★ weak foot and fluid dribbling. A smooth midfielder with strong Ligue 1 links.
🇧🇷 Marquinhos (93 CB) – 195K Coins
Reliable center-back with great agility and awareness. Undervalued but still highly usable.
🇩🇰 Mika Biereth, 🇫🇷 Amel Majri – 130K to 190K Coins
Solid stats and unique builds. Both are worth far more than the cost of the SBC.
Worst Pulls – Players Worth 20K or Less
If you hit one of these, you’re basically trading expensive fodder for a discard card:
🇫🇷 Kessya Bussy (92 LM/RM/LW) – 19K Coins
Good pace and dribbling but irrelevant in terms of links and usability.
🇫🇷 Maghnes Akliouche (92 RM/CAM/RW) – 18.75K Coins
Looks decent on paper but not competitive in-game and has minimal resale value.
🇩🇰 Pierre-Emile Højbjerg (92 CM/CDM) – 18.5K Coins
Stiff and slow. Despite solid stats, he’s just not meta-friendly.
🇨🇭 Denis Zakaria (91 CDM/CM) – 18.5K Coins
Same story. Feels too bulky and lacks the quickness you need from a CDM this year.
🇳🇬 Chiamaka Nnadozie (91 GK) – 18.5K Coins
A goalkeeper. Enough said. No resale value and little excitement.
🇺🇸 Ify Onumonu (92 ST/LW) – 17K Coins
Low composure and inconsistent finishing. Not worth keeping.
🇫🇷 Ludovic Blas (91 RW/RM/CAM) – 15.75K Coins
Has a 5★ weak foot but underwhelming impact. Simply fodder tier.
Final Thoughts
The Ligue 1/D1 Arkema SBC is shaping up to be a classic boom or bust scenario. With several players valued well above the projected SBC cost of an 87- or 88-rated squad plus a TOTS card, this is a gamble that could pay off big.
Best outcome: You land a superstar like Dembélé or João Neves worth over 1 million coins
Worst outcome: You get a 15K discard card and watch your untradeables vanish
If you’re looking to play it smart, consider grinding upgrades and crafting slowly rather than rushing in right at 19:00 CEST when prices spike.
