FC 25 Christmas Update: Jesus Navas SBC and Daily Objectives

Christmas is here, and with it comes a fresh update in EA Sports FC 25. Players diving into the game this festive season can explore new Squad Building Challenges (SBCs), objectives, and upgrades. One of the standout additions is the Jesus Navas End of an Era SBC, alongside several pack offers and daily upgrades to keep the grind exciting.

Jesus Navas SBC: End of an Era

EA has released a special SBC honoring Jesus Navas as part of the End of an Era series. This right-back card boasts impressive stats, making it a solid option for La Liga-focused squads. Here’s what makes this card stand out:

• Dribbling: 88
• Passing: 86
• Defense: 84
• Play Styles: Ping Pass, Long Ball Pass, and Jockey

Despite these strengths, some players find the SBC requirements steep. Completing the challenge requires an 83-rated squad with an inform, an 84-rated squad, and an 86-rated squad. While this card offers versatility as both a right-back and right-mid, many believe the price tag limits its appeal.

Daily Login and Player Picks

EA continues to reward active players with the daily login upgrades. These simple tasks provide essential fodder for SBCs and opportunities to build your squad. Make sure you’re completing these to stay ahead in the grind.

Additionally, the 80+ x10 Player Pick is back. While these picks require four 84-rated cards and the rest as 83-rated cards, they offer a chance to snag some Winter Wildcards or other valuable players. The 85+ Combo Upgrade is also available but has been criticized for its poor value compared to other options.

Winter Wildcards and Evolutions

The Winter Wildcards promo is in full swing, with Team 1 and Team 2 offering players like Neymar and Bernardo Silva. These cards bring unique abilities and meta-defining stats, making them highly sought after in packs.

Unfortunately, there’s no new Evolution available as of this update. Players are eagerly awaiting the ability to evolve multiple cards simultaneously, which could add more strategic depth to the game. For now, keep an eye on updates, as an Evolution might still drop later in the week.

Pack Openings and Market Trends

With the holiday season in full swing, many players are saving packs for better chances at Winter Wildcards and other rare items. Market trends show a dip in fodder prices, presenting opportunities for savvy traders to invest in 87+ rated cards.

If you’re planning to open packs, now might be the time to test your luck, especially with players like Neymar and Mia Hamm in circulation. The best rewards often come to those who wait until all promo items are in packs simultaneously.
