Welcome to the daily FC 25 Ultimate Team news column! Today’s content will provide you with a detailed analysis of the latest developments in the 88 Icons Pack event, market price trends, and important events in the coming weeks.
88 Icons Player Pack SBC
On Sunday, October 27th, the 88 Icons Player Pack was officially launched. This pack includes many high-rated Icon cards, such as Thuram, Vieira, and Ribéry. Due to the special nature of Icon players, these cards are highly anticipated among players. However, the cost of participating in this event is relatively high, with each pack costing around 340,000 FC 25 coins, making it not easily accessible to all players.
Recent Market Trend Analysis
- Limited Edition Cards in Short Supply
Against the backdrop of this update, the demand for limited edition cards (especially 85, 86, and 87-rated cards) in the FUT market has surged, causing prices to soar. Due to the need for these cards in Icon SBCs and Hero SBCs, the supply of 85 to 87-rated cards in the market is in short supply. For players looking to invest, selling these cards at slightly above market price can maximize returns. For example, the price of 85-rated TOTW Icardi has risen significantly. For players with market experience, this is an opportunity to sell these cards at the right time and make a substantial profit. - Prices of Common Gold Cards Plummet
As players gradually shift their focus to limited edition cards and special cards, the prices of common gold cards have dropped significantly. Especially after the weekend league ends, the prices of gold cards have accelerated downwards, with some cards even being cut in half. This phenomenon is influenced by both the weekend market and the upcoming Black Friday event. Many players are selling off common gold cards to raise coins for purchasing upcoming discounted big-name cards or limited edition cards, triggering a panic sell-off in the market.
Brilliant Bompastor Evolution
FUT has introduced the “Brilliant Bompastor” paid evolution option, allowing players to significantly upgrade the attributes of left-back players. This evolution will make some left-backs versatile all-round cards, especially appealing for popular players like Mendy. It’s worth noting that the cost of this evolution is not low, costing 70,000 FC 25 coins or 900 FC Points per card. After evolution, the offensive and defensive abilities of left-backs are greatly improved, making them suitable for players to include in their long-term lineup. For example, Theo Hernandez, as one of the top left-back options, can be rivaled by the evolved Mendy. For players with high-value squads (such as Real Madrid), spending 70,000 FC 25 coins on evolution is worth considering. However, for ordinary players with limited coins, they can first purchase Mendy’s gold card and decide whether to evolve it based on their needs.
Black Friday Event
The upcoming Black Friday event in late November will be a key node in the market. As a shopping festival, during Black Friday, not only will the game introduce various promotional activities, but players will also have a massive output of card packs and an active trading period. Before and after Black Friday, the FUT market will typically undergo a significant adjustment. At that time, various cards, including low-priced cards and high-priced cards, will have a significant price drops. Here are some possible market changes:
- Low-priced cards: Prices are usually halved or even lower during Black Friday.
- High-priced cards: High-value cards may be discounted by 10% to 20%, such as popular cards like Varane and Bale. For players who want to get their hands on top-tier cards, Black Friday is a good time to grab a bargain. It should be noted that the market conditions on PC and PS may vary slightly. Due to the limited supply of high-priced cards on PC, even during Black Friday, there may not be a significant price drop. Therefore, PC players can pay more attention to the market dynamics of Black Friday and choose the right time to get their hands on high-priced cards.
Community and Trading Suggestions
To seize opportunities in the fluctuating FC 25 market, we recommend:
- When selling limited edition cards, you can sell them at a slightly higher price than the market price, and you don’t have to rush to list them at the lowest price. If the price is thousands of coins or higher than the current market price, listing it at a slightly higher price is a more reliable option, attracting more potential buyers.
- During Black Friday, market prices fluctuate significantly, especially for gold cards. It is recommended that you continue to observe the market a few days before Black Friday to get your hands on your favorite high-priced cards at the lowest price.
- When choosing the evolution function, for left-back players like Mendy, you can decide whether to pay for evolution based on the needs of your future lineup. If it’s only for short-term use, casual players can consider keeping the original gold card to avoid unnecessary expenses.
- Before Black Friday is a good time to hoard cards. During Black Friday, the market may see many new cards released and old cards discounted. It is recommended that you prepare coins in advance and choose the right time to buy at a low price.
In the coming weeks, the market will undergo a series of major changes. Whether it’s the 88 Icons SBC, paid evolution, or the Black Friday event, they will all bring new opportunities to the market. Players can combine their own circumstances and flexibly adjust their trading strategies to seize the best investment opportunities in the FUT market.
