The biggest re-release of the FC 25 cycle is going live tonight at 19:00 CEST. FUTTIES batch 3 will hit packs with over 230 special players, bringing back some of the most powerful items we’ve seen all year.
From 99-rated Ruud Gullit and Ousmane Dembélé, to multiple versions of Kylian Mbappé, Cristiano Ronaldo Nazário, and Heung-Min Son, this drop is expected to completely shift the game’s pack weight and transfer market.
Whether you’re grinding upgrades, preparing duplicate storage, or just looking for that final elite card, tonight’s content drop is the one to prepare for.
What to expect from FUTTIES batch 3 at 19:00 CEST
Once the content goes live at 7 PM CEST, the following will be added to packs:
- Over 230 special players
- Four versions of Kylian Mbappé, including TOTS and Dream Chasers
- 99-rated FUTTIES cards: Ruud Gullit, Ousmane Dembélé, Ronaldo Nazário
- 98-rated FUTTIES versions of Edwin van der Sar, Thierry Henry, and Heung-Min Son
- Fan-favorite icons and heroes: Xabi Alonso, Javier Zanetti, Gerd Müller, and Nakata
- High-rated evolvable cards like Matthijs de Ligt (94), David Ginola (94), and Samuel Eto’o (94)
- Top women’s TOTS cards including Sophia Smith and Mia Hamm
This means that nearly every gold upgrade or SBC pack you open from tonight onward could contain one of these elite-level cards.
These cards will flood the market right after content drops
Expect massive market shifts immediately after 19:00 CEST. With so many cards returning to packs, prices will crash across the board.
Several key cards already impacted by the anticipation of batch 3 include:
- 91-rated Neymar Jr. dropped from 2.3 million to around 70k
- David Ginola (94) has fallen to under 150,000 coins
- Samuel Eto’o (94) now trends closer to discard value
If you’re holding any tradeable versions of players returning in batch 3, tonight is likely your last chance to sell before their value collapses even further.
Prepare for a massive upgrade grind tonight
FUTTIES batch 3 means upgrades will feel completely different starting at 19:00 CEST. Standard SBCs like the 84×10 and 85×10 could yield multiple specials in a single pack. If EA also refreshes lightning round store packs like the 86×11 or 82×40, there’s a real chance to hit huge value with coins.
Many cards in this batch are ideal for evolutions, especially if you’re working through:
- Who is the MVP?
- Passer’s Paradise
- Beast Mode Activated
Players like Gareth Bale, Kaoru Mitoma, Mia Hamm, and Gerd Müller are all packable again and work well within current EVO structures.
No Shapeshifters or RTTF cards in batch 3
Despite the size of the drop, Shapeshifter and Road to the Final cards will not be included in FUTTIES batch 3. Players like:
- Richarlison (Shapeshifter)
- Dan Burn (RTTF)
- Sandro Tonali (RTTF)
- Destiny Udogie (RTTF)
remain unconfirmed for any upcoming packs and are likely being held for a late-cycle pre-season promo. It’s one of the few negatives in an otherwise stacked content update.
Most commonly packed players expected tonight
Based on previous FUTTIES batches, these players are likely to be some of the most packable after 19:00 CEST:
- Denzel Dumfries
- Sergiño Dest
- Angelino
- Jon Arne Riise
- Luis Suárez
- Johan Djourou
While not headline-grabbers, these cards still hold value as 90+ fodder or for use in EVO paths.
