Black Friday in FC 25 has introduced an unparalleled level of excitement with the first uncapped and repeatable icon pack SBC of the year. For the first time, players can pack iconic legends like Pelé and Ronaldinho without any rating restrictions. This groundbreaking SBC costs 360,000 coins, requiring an 85, 86, 87, and 88-rated squad, making it an attractive yet strategic gamble for many.
While this SBC is tempting, it’s not for everyone. The power curve has shifted significantly, with many base icons losing their appeal compared to newer, evolved cards. For example, players like Raúl have dropped from 1.3 million coins to just 400,000 coins in recent months. Despite the decline in value, the thrill of packing top-tier icons keeps this SBC relevant. However, players seeking guaranteed returns may find better value in player SBCs like Vinícius Jr. or Bukayo Saka, which offer consistent upgrades and longevity in competitive modes.
Evolutions: Boost Your Squad Like Never Before
El Torero Evo: Unlocking Skill Moves
Priced at 140,000 coins, the El Torero Evo is a premium option for transforming average cards into standout performers. This Evo delivers exceptional stat boosts, including +25 stamina and +15 pace, making it ideal for enhancing low-rated golds or silvers.
One standout feature is its ability to grant five-star skill moves, elevating the gameplay potential of cards like Thomas Müller. The Trickster Plus and incisive Pass Plus playstyles also cater to creative players, making this Evo an exciting addition for those focusing on midfield dominance. However, due to its cost, this Evo is better suited for players deeply invested in grinding FC 25 content.
Flash Evos: Limited Time, Big Rewards
Flash Evos are another exciting feature, providing limited-time opportunities to boost specific attributes. Players like Teram and ADM have become essential additions to many squads thanks to these quick upgrades. Completing three matches unlocks defensive or physical boosts, transforming decent cards into game-changing assets. Make sure to act quickly—these Evos are expiring soon, and once gone, they cannot be accessed again.
SBCs Worth Your Coins
Desailly and Raúl Thunderstruck Icons
The rumored Desailly and Raúl Thunderstruck SBCs have the community buzzing. Desailly’s defensive prowess and Chelsea-based upgrade potential make him a standout choice. If priced reasonably, around 600,000 coins, Desailly could become a must-have for any squad seeking defensive solidity. However, if the cost exceeds 1 million coins, many may find better value in other SBCs.
Raúl’s potential SBC also offers exciting possibilities for players focusing on offensive strategies. His leaked stats indicate a highly competitive card that could become a game-changer for those looking to dominate in the attacking third.
El Shaarawy and Berardi SBCs
El Shaarawy’s flashback SBC is one of the most affordable and nostalgic options available, costing just 50,000 coins. With five-star skills, Rapid playstyles, and inside forward capabilities, this card is a delight for fans of quick, agile attackers. Meanwhile, Berardi offers a more balanced midfield option with exceptional stamina, passing, and dribbling stats, making him ideal for Serie A squads.
Thunderstruck Cards and the Market
Live Card Dynamics
Thunderstruck Live cards are shaping the FC 25 meta with their dynamic upgrade potential. Players like Bukayo Saka and Jules Koundé have seen dramatic price swings based on real-world performances. For example, Saka is on the verge of a significant upgrade after Arsenal’s recent successes, while Koundé’s value plummeted following a disappointing performance from Barcelona.
To maximize returns, players should consider selling these cards during pre-game hype when prices peak. This strategy minimizes the risk of post-game devaluation while capitalizing on market trends.
Squad Battle Rewards and Fodder Investments
With Squad Battle rewards dropping today, the market is primed for fluctuations. High-rated fodder cards, such as 86 and 87-rated players, are climbing steadily. Savvy investors should focus on acquiring these cards during rewards periods, as demand will likely surge throughout the week.
Meta out-of-pack cards like Luka Modrić and Bruno Fernandes remain popular trading options. Modrić’s price has risen sharply, reflecting his enduring value as a midfield maestro. Similarly, Bruno Fernandes has become a staple in competitive squads, making him a reliable investment.
