Phillip Lahm is a Must-Do Right Now : Icon Worth Every Coin

When you think of legendary fullbacks, Philipp Lahm sits comfortably at the top of the list. EA’s latest SBC offering lets you bring a Prime version of the German icon into your squad with a four-star skill move and five-star weak foot combo — a serious upgrade in usability.

This Lahm card is incredibly flexible. With primary positions at right back, left back, and CDM, you can mold him into any role your team needs. He boasts:

Great pace for overlapping or defensive recovery
Excellent passing and dribbling, especially with a Chem Style like Engine or Anchor
Key PlayStyles: Long Ball Pass+, Pinged Pass, Whipped Pass, Anticipate+, Intercept, Slide Tackle, and more

Priced at an 82-rated squad (for the loan), plus an 85-rated squad with an Inform, two 86-rated squads, and an 87-rated squad, this SBC might seem expensive at first glance. But compared to similarly tiered icons or special cards, it’s a steal. And most importantly — he’s meta.

Dream Chasers Player Pick SBC: High Potential, Mid Return

Another highlight is the refreshed Dream Chasers Player Pick. The SBC lets you submit players like Palulu, Zanotti, and Dele Alli to complete the challenge and pick one Dream Chasers upgradeable player. While some users are pulling top-tier cards like 92-rated Turke, others are left with duplicates or marginal upgrades like 91 Kubo or 92 Håvard.

This SBC is fun — and it’s great for club stockpiling. But unlike Lahm’s Icon SBC, it’s a gamble with more variance and less consistency.Let us know on Twitter who you pulled in yours.

New SBC Player: Esmee Brugts – Worth the Price?

Esmee Brugts — also misspelled in-game as “Brooks” — is the latest Road to the Final SBC. She plays for FC Barcelona Femeni and can line up as a left back, left mid, left winger, or striker. Her card is versatile and features four-star skills and a four-star weak foot. While her stats are decent, the real kicker is the potential +5 upgrade path if Barça advances through the UEFA Women’s Champions League.

Here’s the problem: She’s locked behind an 84, 85, and 86-rated squad requirement with an Inform. That’s expensive — especially for a card that’s only strong if the team progresses. At her base, Brugts is just okay. And even if she hits 96 overall, she’s still behind top-tier attackers and defenders already in the game.

Her playstyles are interesting though, featuring Wingback+, Inside Forward+, Rapid+, Technical, and Poacher+, among others. Still, unless you’re a die-hard fan or running a women’s team theme, it’s tough to recommend her over other options in the game.

Campaign Mix Player Pick and New TOTW 29

The Campaign Mix Player Pick SBC is back with a solid offer: an 88+ pick from Thunderstruck, Winter Wildcards, TOTY Honorable Mentions, Future Stars, and Grassroots Greats — no Icons or Heroes included. It costs two 85-rated squads (one with an Inform), and while the value can vary, it’s a good chance at a special card you might have missed earlier in the year.

In today’s sample pack, we saw options like:

89 Pickett
89 Jonathan David
88 Bradley

Nothing groundbreaking, but not bad for filling out your club or stacking fodder for the next big SBC.

Team of the Week 29: Lacking the Wow Factor

EA dropped Team of the Week 29, and while there are some interesting names — like Jude Bellingham and Cucho Hernández — the overall value is lacking. Most of the cards are already down to discard price (~12-14K) just hours after release.

One standout? Oihan Sancet (not “Ois”), who offers high potential for Evolutions thanks to decent base stats and playstyle compatibility. His price is hovering around 130K, and he could slot into several upcoming Evo paths, especially if you’re looking to boost a mid-tier player into meta relevance.

Immortals Teased: Gareth Bale and Thierry Henry

EA also teased the next phase of the Immortals promo — and it’s massive. Gareth Bale will be receiving an Immortals card with a predicted left back “baby” version, a nod to his early days at Spurs. Expect high pace, skill, and physicality with this card.

Meanwhile, Thierry Henry is also confirmed for the Immortals release. His Team of the Year card was already elite — and now with an Immortals upgrade on the way, he’s set to become one of the most powerful strikers in FC 25. Fans of Arsenal and FUT legends alike should be hyped.

Final Take: Lahm is a No-Brainer

While much of the daily content felt underwhelming — from a bloated TOTW to an overpriced Esmee Brugts — Philipp Lahm’s Prime Icon SBC is the clear winner of the day. At just under 400k to complete (depending on market conditions), he offers elite flexibility, top-tier playstyles, and one of the most reliable defensive presences in the game.
