What to Expect from the FC 25 Globetrotters Promo

The highly anticipated Globetrotters promo has officially landed in FC 25, bringing a mix of fresh content, new player cards, SBCs (Squad Building Challenges), and evolutions to the game.

This promo is particularly exciting due to its unique chemistry feature, which significantly impacts squad-building options for Ultimate Team players. Globetrotters cards offer enhanced chemistry benefits, providing double links and making it much easier to integrate these players into any squad. All you need is a manager with the right league or a single icon to unlock full chemistry for these cards.

From leaked SBCs to evolutions and market trends, this promo is shaping up to bring both excitement and strategic opportunities. Let’s dive into the details of what players can expect and how to take full advantage of this limited-time event.

Globetrotters SBCs: Mahrez and More

One of the highlights of the promo is the SBC content, headlined by Riyad Mahrez. Mahrez’s card is expected to feature impressive boosts, including increased pace, better stats, and compatibility across multiple positions, such as CAM and RW. If EA Sports prices this SBC reasonably—ideally under 150,000 coins—it could become a must-complete for players looking to upgrade their squads with a versatile and dynamic attacker.

Another leaked SBC centers around Nani, an end-of-an-era card. While this card is generating hype due to its potential high stats and usability, it is rumored to lack the unique chemistry benefits of the Globetrotters cards, making it slightly less appealing for players focused on squad flexibility. However, with Portuguese players and icons like Luís Figo seeing price increases in anticipation, this SBC is sure to attract attention.

The key to making these SBCs worthwhile is their affordability and usability. If Mahrez and Nani are competitively priced and offer good boosts, they could quickly become popular choices for many teams.

Evolutions: A New Era of Customization

Evolutions in FC 25 are a game-changer, and the Globetrotters promo offers an excellent opportunity to utilize this feature. Players are eagerly awaiting the release of cosmetic and stat-based evolutions that not only enhance player attributes but also apply the Globetrotters design and chemistry boosts.

Cosmetic evolutions, in particular, could allow players to transform any card in their collection into a Globetrotters card, complete with the unique chemistry benefits. This would be a massive addition, giving players unprecedented flexibility to build their dream squads. EA has been relatively quiet on new Evo releases in recent days, raising expectations for something significant to accompany the promo.

Additionally, stat-based evolutions could target specific player roles, such as defenders or midfielders, adding both functionality and flair to their squads. Whether these evolutions are free or require coins, they have the potential to be a key highlight of the promo, offering players creative ways to enhance their gameplay experience.

Market Trends: Center-Back Prices and Globetrotters Card Impact

The FC 25 market is already showing signs of change due to the Globetrotters promo. One of the most noticeable trends is the price drop among high-tier center-backs. This is largely attributed to the widespread availability of the free Level 35 Konaté reward card, which has become a popular choice for many squads. Icons like Rio Ferdinand have seen their prices fall from 1.5 million coins to 1.2 million coins, while Virgil van Dijk’s value has also declined due to recent gameplay changes that nerfed contested headers.

On the flip side, cards like Riyad Mahrez and Mohamed Salah are poised to influence the market in different ways. Salah’s Player of the Month SBC offers a 90-rated card, identical to his TOTW version. However, a separate Globetrotters promo card for Salah is expected to carry more appeal due to potential upgrades, position versatility, and the unique chemistry boosts of the promo.

Cristiano Ronaldo, Luis Suárez, and Sam Kerr are also among the leaked promo cards, each featuring moderate stat upgrades but significant chemistry advantages. Ronaldo’s card, for example, provides versatility and remains a fan favorite despite modest improvements over his previous versions. Sam Kerr’s 92-rated card offers one of the highest overall ratings in the promo, making it a standout for players seeking top-tier attackers.

Gameplay Changes: Adapting to the New Meta

The latest FC 25 patch introduced several gameplay adjustments, including improvements to left-stick dribbling responsiveness and nerfs to contested headers. These changes have directly impacted player values and strategies, particularly for cards like Virgil van Dijk, whose aerial dominance has been diminished.

Players like Cristiano Ronaldo and Luis Suárez, with traits like Power Shot Plus, remain highly effective due to their shooting abilities, which complement the new gameplay mechanics. These updates are likely to influence Weekend League strategies as players adapt to the evolving meta.

Key Takeaways for the Globetrotters Promo

With Weekend League on the horizon, the Globetrotters promo provides numerous opportunities for players to improve their squads and trading strategies. Whether it’s completing SBCs like Mahrez or taking advantage of market trends, there are plenty of ways to benefit from the new content. The addition of evolutions and unique chemistry boosts makes this promo particularly exciting, offering players new levels of customization and flexibility.
