Wayne Rooney Icon SBC Pull Shocks FC 25 Community

Wayne Rooney Icon SBC Pull Shocks FC 25 Community, In the latest FC 25 Ultimate Team content drop, EA Sports has caught the community off guard—not with a new Team of the Week or flashy promo—but through unexpectedly great pack luck and a standout SBC card. Nepenthez, one of the scene’s most trusted FIFA content creators, shared his latest video where he broke down the current state of content, delivered his take on the underwhelming Immortals promo, and shockingly packed three icons back-to-back from 84×7 upgrade packs, including none other than Prime Wayne Rooney. If you’re looking for what to complete (and what to skip) in FC 25 right now, this is your essential update.

Back-to-back Icon Pack Luck: Wayne Rooney Icon SBC Headlines the Show

In a moment that stunned both Nepenthez and his viewers, his 84×7 player packs delivered an unbelievable streak—three icons in a row. Among them was 93-rated Wayne Rooney, one of the most desirable Prime Icons in FC 25. Valued at around 500,000 coins, Rooney’s card boasts five-star skill moves, four-star weak foot, elite-level playstyles, and exceptional attacking stats. This haul wasn’t just rare—it was meta-changing. Nepenthez also pulled 93-rated Abily and another icon, adding further value to what he dubbed one of the best return sets from these upgrade packs to date.

With Team of the Season looming, many feared EA Sports might scale back pack rewards—but these 84×7 packs prove there’s still incredible value to be found.

Marcos Alonso Flashback SBC: A Fullback Worth the Coins?

Alongside the excitement of pack pulls, EA dropped a Flashback Marcos Alonso SBC, and Nepenthez had plenty to say. The card is well-rounded: 6’2”, four-star skills, five-star weak foot, and versatility across left back and center back roles. He comes with six defensive playstyles including Intercept+ and Defender+, along with elite traits like Pinged Pass+ and Technical. Despite being downvoted on community platforms like FUTBIN, Nepenthez rated it highly.

At a cost of just an 85-rated squad and an 86-rated squad with Informs (which are currently high-rated), Alonso is considered both evoable and viable in various formations. However, he’s not compatible with the new Gladiator 2 Evolution—a feature many hoped would bring more upgrade opportunities.

Evolutions & SBCs: Gladiator 2 and What to Avoid

Speaking of evolutions, EA released Gladiator 2, a slight refresh of the original Gladiator Evolution path. While the community remains lukewarm on these recycled paths, Nepenthez believes having repeatable EVOs (especially via SBCs) could breathe life into club building. Gladiator 2 offers +8 defending and shooting, but the limited player eligibility remains a sticking point for many.

Meanwhile, EA also launched the 88+ Campaign Mixed Player Pick. It requires an 86-rated squad and an 83-rated squad with an Inform. Despite the allure, Nepenthez called this one a hard pass. His own pick yielded four low-value players—88-rated Danilo, Dailly, Kákul, and 89-rated Jonathan David—all considered low-tier rewards by market standards.

Even worse was the 81+ Team of the Week upgrade, requiring an 85-rated squad. With TOTW cards currently costing around 13-14K, the value proposition just isn’t there. Nepenthez labeled it as “terrible value,” advising players to skip this unless they’re hoarding untradeable fodder with no other plans.

No Team of the Week? TOTS Voting Takes Over

In a surprise twist, there was no new Team of the Week release. This caught many off guard, especially considering it was Wednesday. Instead, EA has rolled out Team of the Season voting, shifting focus toward the biggest event of the year. Nepenthez humorously shared his own vote filled entirely with Arsenal players “for the bants,” only to spark some online outrage from unsuspecting fans.

Among the more realistic TOTS selections discussed were standout names like Mohamed Salah, Bruno Fernandes, Declan Rice, William Saliba, and Alexander Isak. For goalkeepers, Forest’s Matz Sels leads the way with the most clean sheets this season.

For those who haven’t submitted their votes yet, Team of the Season voting is live on EA’s official site.

As Nepenthez puts it, EA is likely holding back content to preserve hype and market stability ahead of Team of the Season. With many SBCs now being repeat drops or minimal in impact, it’s a clear sign the power curve is being intentionally slowed down.
