Guaranteed Ligue 1 TOTS SBC dropping today in FC 25 ⇒ FUTFC

One of the biggest days of Team of the Season in FC 25 is here as the guaranteed Ligue 1 TOTS SBC is expected to release today. This Squad Building Challenge is a yearly favorite for players looking to secure at least one player from the active Team of the Season squad. Whether you’re hunting for Nuno Mendes, Barcola, Cherki or another Ligue 1 standout, this pack could deliver a serious upgrade for your squad.

Why the guaranteed Ligue 1 TOTS SBC matters

Each Wednesday during Team of the Season, EA has historically released a guaranteed TOTS SBC for the active league. Last year’s drop for Ligue 1 happened on May 15, also a Wednesday. This pattern is likely to repeat, especially with EA moving other content such as the campaign mixed player pick to Tuesday this week, freeing up Wednesday for this more in-demand release.

The guaranteed Ligue 1 TOTS pack gives players a shot at some of the best cards in the game for a relatively affordable SBC price. It is especially significant because even though you may hit a lower-tier card like André Santos or Højbjerg, there is always that chance at an elite item like Pacho or Nuno Mendes.

Expected SBC requirements based on last year

Last year, the Ligue 1 TOTS upgrade required an 87-rated squad with one Team of the Season card included. This year’s version will likely follow a similar format. While some think EA may increase it slightly to an 88-rated squad, the need for only one TOTS card should remain.

Team of the Season items are currently priced around 18,750 coins on the market. If you stocked up earlier at 16 or 17K, you’re in a great spot. Even if you didn’t, this SBC is likely to drive those prices up slightly as thousands of users rush to complete it. Investing now could still result in short-term gains, especially for cards rated 90 and above that can help hit the required overall in the SBC.

Market movements to watch

If the guaranteed Ligue 1 TOTS SBC drops today, you can expect some market shifts throughout the day. Many users will open their pack, fail to get the card they want, and then head to the market to buy it directly. This happens every year and is a proven method to flip meta cards.

Cards like Doucouré, Nuno Mendes and Vitinha could see brief price rises after the pack is released. However, be careful about Division Rivals rewards which drop Thursday and will flood the market with new supply. This could quickly push prices back down. So if you are investing, make sure to list for lazy sales shortly after content goes live and don’t hold too long.

Will it be Ligue 1 only or include D1 Arkema?

One major question is whether this pack will only include men’s Ligue 1 players or if it will be combined with the women’s D1 Arkema squad. The season 7 weekly objective reward pack was labeled as a Ligue 1/D1 Arkema TOTS Player Pack, which could suggest a combined pool.

Last year, the guaranteed Ligue 1 TOTS SBC was men’s-only. If EA follows the same path this year, we may see a better chance of packing a top-tier men’s player. However, a combined version could dilute the odds.

Pack weight and past performance

Historically, pack weight for these guaranteed TOTS SBCs is a mixed bag. Every year, players report packing top cards like Mbappé, Messi or Neymar, while others end up with discard-value items. Last year’s Premier League TOTS SBC gave out a lot of Ollie Watkins and Mac Allister cards. Still, the excitement of opening one and the potential upside makes it a must-complete SBC for many.

If the pack remains affordable and easy to craft using your club fodder and untradeables, it becomes an ideal chance to hit a Ligue 1 TOTS card. Especially with premium Ligue 1 upgrade packs available now, you can grind easily toward both high-rated fodder and TOTS cards to help complete this challenge.
