Track Stars First SBC Leak: What to Expect in FC 25’s Next Big Promo

The much-anticipated “Track Stars” promo in EA Sports FC 25 is just around the corner, and the first leaked Squad Building Challenge (SBC) promises exciting content and potential market shifts. In this guide, we’ll break down the leaked details, the potential impact on player investments, and some expert trading strategies to help you make the most of this promo season.

Track Stars Promo: First SBC Leaked

The initial SBC leak for Track Stars hints at a dynamic new card for DaMarcus Beasley. While it’s not officially confirmed, it’s speculated that Beasley’s stats will closely resemble those on his base card, with slight adjustments. This SBC is expected to be priced in a way that may influence market trends for defenders and left-wing players.

Beasley, a well-known American hero, adds versatility to FC squads by providing MLS chemistry links. Here’s what we can anticipate from this card and its impact on market activity.

How the Beasley SBC Might Affect the Market

One of the biggest questions surrounding this SBC leak is how Beasley’s card could impact related players on the market. Beasley’s full chemistry capability, regardless of the league, makes him a strong option, especially for players looking to integrate MLS players like Lionel Messi into their squads.

Will Beasley Increase the Demand for MLS Players?

While players like Messi are often challenging to link in hybrid teams, Beasley could help solve that issue by providing a reliable MLS chemistry link. If Messi’s popularity holds, we may see increased demand for MLS players compatible with Beasley’s position.

In FC 25, chemistry links have grown increasingly valuable, particularly for players in niche leagues. However, investing in specific link players for Beasley should be approached with caution, as his card’s release on a weekend could coincide with market price drops. If Beasley drops on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, link investments may see price fluctuations that impact their profitability.

Strategic Investments Around the Beasley SBC

When approaching investments around this SBC, here are some options and timing strategies to consider:

1. MLS Player Link Investments: Players like Messi might see more demand if Beasley’s SBC offers strong chemistry links. However, the best time to invest in MLS link players could be after Beasley’s SBC release if prices dip.
2. Top Left Backs in the Market: Beasley could impact the prices of popular left-backs like Theo Hernandez or Mendy. Selling these cards before Friday could be a smart precaution, as Beasley’s versatility may reduce demand for high-tier left-backs if players substitute them with his card.
3. Mid-Tier Fodder Investments: Historically, fodder prices have fluctuated based on SBC popularity. Investing in 83- and 84-rated cards could offer profitable returns if SBC demand spikes. However, be wary, as this week’s SBCs have not performed well in previous weeks.

Past Hero SBC Trends: Will Beasley Follow Suit?

Historically, hero SBCs like Beasley have had mixed market impacts. Last year’s hero SBCs were underwhelming in demand, with players like Ledley King and Landon Donovan not gaining much traction. Given the risk of a similar scenario, there’s a chance that Beasley’s SBC might follow this trend if priced too high. If the community perceives it as overpriced, demand may be lower, leading to limited market impact.

Daily Upgrade SBCs and Fodder Opportunities

EA has reintroduced the repeatable 83+ upgrade SBC in FC 25, offering an opportunity for players to exchange 83-rated cards for upgraded versions. With each pack priced around 13K, this SBC is an accessible daily activity, which could sustain 83- and 84-rated fodder prices. Completing these upgrades daily is also an excellent way to engage with the market while keeping your squad competitive.

Recommended Investments for Track Stars Promo

While Beasley may impact certain player categories, other areas of investment remain promising:

• Shadow and Hunter Chemistry Styles: These popular chemistry styles are in demand and provide consistent returns. Buying them during market dips and selling at peak times could yield steady profit margins.
• In-Form Players: In-forms, especially in the 84-85 rating range, may rise if new SBCs require higher-rated squads.
• Special Attackers: With recent hype around high-demand cards, special attackers remain a sound investment. Icon trading on the market can also provide good returns.
