FC 25 Market Shake-Up: Evolutions, SBCs & Big Profit Plays!

Evolutions & Future Stars content changing the game.

FC 25 is having one of the strangest weeks yet, with market shifts, new Evolutions, and unexpected promos shaking up the game. Server outages over the weekend caused chaos, but EA’s content releases are also playing a huge role in making this a unique time for players. The introduction of Future Stars Evolutions, new SBCs, and upcoming double rewards on Thursday have set the stage for big investment opportunities.

One of the biggest content drops was the Future Stars Rush Objective. This new event offers solid rewards, including easy packs for players looking to complete Evolutions efficiently. With two Rush events running at the same time, players can choose their preferred method of grinding—though many are opting for Squad Battles, Rivals, and FUT Champs over Rush, as they allow for multiple Evolutions at once.

Fernando Torres SBC: Is It Worth It?

The Fernando Torres SBC dropped with solid stats but left some players wanting more. Coming in at 639,000 coins, the 90-rated version has strong attributes, but EA could have boosted it even further. While it boasts Rapid+ and a five-star weak foot, the 78 curve and 82 long shots raise questions about its effectiveness. However, with finesse shots being incredibly strong this year, Torres is likely to feel cracked in-game.

His Relentless and Press Proven playstyles, along with Quick Step and Trivela, make him a versatile striker. Comparisons have been drawn to Alexandra Popp, who sits at around 700,000 coins with similar playstyle pluses. If Torres were tradable, he’d likely be priced similarly, making this SBC a good option for fans of the Spanish legend.

Market Impacts: Fodder Rising, Icons Dropping

The 87+ Icon Player Pick SBC saw its rating drop from 88+ to 87+, but it added an extra choice slot. This change, combined with strong SBC content, has sent fodder prices soaring. 89-rated fodder like Joshua Kimmich rose from 27,000 to nearly 32,000 coins, while 91-rated fodder such as Rodri skyrocketed from 64,000 to 78,000 coins.

Lower-tier fodder is also increasing, with 85-rated players climbing from 4,000 to 4,700 coins. This trend is expected to continue unless EA floods the market with additional supply. If you invested in fodder over the weekend, holding onto it could lead to further profits.

At the same time, market prices on meta players have dropped, particularly due to paid Evolutions forcing players to sell cards. For example, Aitana Bonmatí’s 88-rated version dropped as many players evolved her 87-rated inform.

Future Stars cards also took major hits, with Bradley Barcola falling from 3.6M to 2.3M coin. Meanwhile, Icons like Frank Lampard (380K from 500K) and Rio Ferdinand (1.8M) also saw major dips.

Double Rewards on Thursday: Market Boom Incoming?

A key factor in this week’s market movements is the rare double rewards drop on Thursday, featuring both Rivals and FUT Champs rewards. This is reminiscent of FIFA 19’s flashback structure, and it presents a huge investment opportunity.

With a high influx of coins and packs hitting the market at once, expect certain out-of-pack special cards to rise in value. Center-backs remain a safe investment, with Antonio Rüdiger, Jules Koundé, and Éder Militão being prime trading options. Rüdiger’s price history from last week showed a significant Monday-to-weekend rise, and a similar trend could follow this week.

Future Stars Academy EVO & Upcoming Content

The highly anticipated Future Stars Academy Evolution finally arrives today. This allows players to upgrade their Wonderkids into icons, an unprecedented feature in FC 25. While the concept seems bizarre—since most of these players are still in the early stages of their careers—it adds another layer to squad-building strategies.

EA also hinted at additional upgrade packs, including the potential return of a 78+ player pick or another 84×5 pack. These could further impact fodder prices, making it crucial to watch the market closely for buying and selling windows.

Additionally, leaks suggest that Player of the Month Ousmane Dembélé will drop later this week, likely around Wednesday or Thursday. This could impact PSG-linked players, creating another potential investment avenue.

Where to Make Coins This Week

With the market fluctuating, here are the best investment strategies:

• Hold high-rated fodder as prices continue rising.
• Target meta out-of-pack specials like Jules Koundé and Éder Militão before Thursday’s rewards.
• Consider the new Evolution only if it fits your squad needs, as the 75K coin price tag is steep.
• Keep an eye on leaks for the upcoming Grassroots Greats promo, featuring Diego Maradona, Franz Beckenbauer, and Ronaldinho, which could shake up the market.

With a weird mix of extended FUT Champs, unique Evolutions, and a major market dip, this week presents massive trading potential. Be ready for Thursday’s double rewards, and keep an eye on potential flips leading into the weekend.
