How To Prepare?
First up, on April 18th, everything kicks off with TOTS Warm Up series and a brand new promotion called Invincibles. But this is probably EA’s way of getting you excited and draining your bankroll before Team of the Season arrives.
During this time, you’ll see some nice players appear in Team of the Week (TOTW) player packs, like 89 Mohamed Salah or Virgil van Dijk, as well as a ton of daily SBCs and objectives that drop juicy packs as rewards. But don’t be fooled, because the real Team of the Season content won’t be released until April 25th, when community TOTS squads go live and the real grind begins.
Saving Your Packs
Now, let’s talk about pack saving. You need to save every pack of value from now on. You need to save 85+ rated packs from Division Rivals and Champions Mode and Squad Battles, as well as daily upgrade SBC rewards (like 81+ player picks). Avoid opening any player packs above 80 unless you are chasing Team of the Week.
Also, here’s a pro tip: wait until the league TOTS you are targeting go live before opening these packs, which means if you want Premier League Team of the Season, hold on to your packs until May 2nd. That way, you don’t need to spend a ton of coins stacking packs after the event goes live.
Ways To Get More Packs
Next, we’ll focus on efficient ways to get these packs, and the key way is league SBCs & upgrades.
- Step 1: Clean up your club with player picks above 81 or above 85.
- Step 2: Save fodder from Major League and use for league SBCs.
- Step 3: Repeat to complete league SBCs, then upgrade your SBCs with duplicate players and recycle everything.
This method allows you to build a large number of packs while keeping your FC 25 coin balance safe.
Prepare Evolutions And Accumulate Resources
Don’t neglect Evolutions, they are free and often give great upgrades. At the same time, it is also crucial to complete daily goals in time to unlock milestones and repeatable SBCs, and pack rewards while you are grinding matches.
For example, if EA drops an 83+ x10 Rare Players Pack for Premier League, you will want to be ready with fodder and goals. At this point, Team of the Week cards finally become important again, because if you have an 84+Rated SBC Squad this week, EA may require them for repeatable upgrades and daily SBCs. Once TOTS goes live, these cards will be worth a lot of money.
Conclusion
Finally, let’s wrap up with some golden rules. Your first goal now is to save the 81+ packs you can currently get, and then open them once the league TOTS you want goes live. While doing this, don’t forget to keep your club stocked with 83 to 87 rated players.
Also, try to avoid using your SBCs during the TOTS Warm-Up period unless the player is a must-have. It is recommended that you prioritize Evolutions as they are free power-ups. Most importantly, stay disciplined so that when TOTS drop, you are always ready to build your dream lineup.

EA FC 25 Alpine Wall Evolut ...
EA FC 25 is still holding Team of the Season promotion. Many players will receive powerful items at this event. The current one is Alpine Wall Evolution. This event can improve your left back’s defensive ability. All formations need defenders to form a defense, and there is a great demand for defenders. Alpine Wall Evolution can greatly improve defenders’ various attributes, total rating, and PlayStyle. EA FC 25 Alpine Wall Evolution Requirements Maximum position: 3 Overall Rating (up to 91) Position LB Maximum PlayStyle 10 Maximum PlayStyle+ 3 Pace (up to 96) In addition to the above requirements, you also need to take 50,000 FUT 25 coins or 200 FC 25 points to qualify for this evolution. This evolution not only upgrades the 84 OVR player to 90 points, but also allows the left back player to add the center back position, making your tactical arrangement more flexible. If you still have enough coins, it is recommended that you participate in this evolution. EA FC 25 Alpine Wall Evolution Levels Alpine Wall Evolution has 4 levels, and each level has different upgrades and types. After you choose the player to evolve, you must complete the challenge task with him to complete the evolution. Level 1 Upgrades Overall Rating +4 (up to 93) Pace +5 (up to 93) Dribbling +6 (up to 90) Skills +2 stars (up to 4 stars) PlayStyle Technical Upgrade PlayStyle Bruiser Upgrade Level 1 Challenge: Play a game in any game mode with an active player who needs to evolve. Level 1 upgrades are more suitable for players with low Pace and Dribbling. Ko Itakura with an 87 Overall Rating is an excellent choice. His Pace is 86 and his Dribbling is only 85. He has almost all the Level 1 upgrades. Ko Itakura is currently worth 150,000 coins. Level 2 Upgrades Passing +6 (up to 90) Pace +4 (up to 93) Physical +7 (up to 90) PlayStyles Slide Tackle and Tiki Taka PlayStyle+ Jockey Level 2 Challenge: Play two games in Rush, Rivals, Champions or Squad Battles at the lowest semi-pro difficulty using your active player who needs to evolve. Defenders need to defend, and they are usually strong and rarely have low Physical stats, and 90 OVR Alejandro Balde happens to have only 82 Physical. He can get all the physical upgrades, but this card cannot get the level 2 Pace upgrade, which makes him the best candidate for the upgrade. Level 3 Upgrades Position CB Overall Rating+3 (up to 93) Passing +6 (up to 90) Shooting +7 (up to 80) Defending +6 (up to 92) PlayStyle+ Anticipate Defender+ Level 3 Challenge: Play three games in Rush, Rivals, Champions or Squad Battles at the lowest semi-professional difficulty using your active player who needs to evolve. The best player for Level 3 would be 87 OVR Theo Hernandez. He lacks in these stats, and all the upgrades will not be wasted on him. This upgrade also adds a center back option, which makes the left back more flexible on the field. Level 4 Upgrades Defending +7 (up to 92) Dribbling +6 (up to 90) Physical +7 (up to 90) PlayStyle+ Quickstep Fullback++ Level 4 Challenge: Play a game in Rush, Rivals, Champions or Squad Battles at the lowest semi-pro difficulty with your active EVO player. (twice) Level 4 has the largest improvement. Mendy with 84 OVR can get almost all the level 4 improvements. His defending is 87, dribbling is only 76, and physical is 85. Except for a slight overflow in physical, he can almost perfectly get all the level 4 evolutions. Of course, the premise of all this is that you are willing to use this opportunity for him. Best Evolution Choice Theo Hernandez: 87 Overall Rating Theo Hernandez: 88 Overall Rating Sandy Baltimore: 91 Overall Rating Jarrel Hato: 91 Overall Rating Jose Gaya: 91 Overall Rating Yuri Berchiche: 91 Overall Rating Eduardo Camavinga: 91 Overall Rating Alejandro Balde: 90 Overall Rating Ferland Mendy: 90 Overall Rating Marcos Alonso: 90 Overall Rating Balde Numero: 91 Overall Rating Itakura Numero: 87 Overall Rating Alonso Flash: 90 Overall Rating Stones Numero: 89 Overall Rating Rolfo Winter: 89 Overall Rating Mendy: 84 Overall Rating Eduardo Camavinga: 83 Overall Rating The above are various options, but they are not the only ones. There are more than 5,000 cards in FC 25 that can participate in Alpine Wall Evolution, but you must not put the opportunity to evolve on players with low total scores, otherwise your coins will be wasted. The above recommended players are all players who can quickly form combat effectiveness for your team after evolution. The most popular evolved players at present are Hernández, Alejandro Balde and Riccardo Calafiori, among which Hernández has several versions to choose from. This evolution event has just begun. If your team lacks a reliable left back or center back, then you can check whether there are players among your players who meet the conditions and arrange them to evolve!May-14-2025

EA FC 25: How To Choose Pla ...
It’s been almost two months since FC 25 was launched. Although it was a good game at the beginning, the game developers have been constantly updating and optimizing it to provide players with a better experience. There are some new mechanisms or activities that require players to follow up and understand the relevant information in time to play them better, such as Bag Of Tricks Evolution. This is an activity to help players upgrade. You can upgrade their cards by selecting ball carriers and using 50000 EA FC 25 Coins to make them stronger than before in unique positions in FIFA 25 Ultimate Team. Then you must want to know which players are more suitable for this mechanism. Next, we will introduce you to the 7 most suitable players to upgrade through Bag Of Tricks Evolution. 1. Isi Palazón This 29-year-old midfielder from Spain is a good upgrade choice in this evolution, especially his outstanding speed trait makes his card stand out among a crowd of players. When you successfully upgrade him through FC 25 Coins, his offensive data will be strengthened as never before. In the game, you can deploy him as a right midfielder, left midfielder, right wing or attacking midfielder according to your preference. In addition, his card data is speed 90, dribbling 89, shooting 85, passing 80, physical fitness 69, defense 39, skill moves four stars and weak foot accuracy three stars. With his new inside forward role, we are sure that he will start the attack from the wing, eventually cut inside, put the ball on his dominant foot and shoot, thus leading the team to victory. 2. Takefusa Kubo Japanese winger Takefusa Kubo is an excellent dribbler, and he mainly plays in the right wing on the court. He has excellent speed, dribbling and skills, which enables him to break through opponents on the court. In addition, his potential is also very good, and you can develop his game card in Ultimate Team. And this talented Japanese player can play both as a winger and a striker, and he can basically get a good game rating in every game. His technical play helps him reach the highest speed when sprinting, so that he can easily break through the opponent’s defense with a feint and score the eventual goal. 3. Serge Gnabry Serge Gnabry is already one of the best wing midfielders in EA FC 25. If he is upgraded through Bag Of Tricks Evolution, his card will be among the best. He has excellent offensive data and strong physical fitness, which makes him a very good midfielder. Besides being a midfielder, he also has the qualities of a top striker.

His card data is speed 89, dribbling 89, shooting 86, passing 80, physical fitness 71, defense 43, four-star skill moves and four-star weak foot accuracy. These high stats make him an indispensable player in your team. 4. Malcom This midfielder from Brazil's full name is Malcom Filipe Silva de Oliveira. His card has decent base stats, and after strengthening, it becomes even more impressive, making it attractive even in Ultimate Team. He currently plays for Saudi Pro Club Al Hilal as an attacking midfielder and right midfielder. His card, after upgrading through Bag Of Tricks Evolution, will be one of the best player cards you can choose in the mechanic. Not only is Malcom’s ability to dribble past opponents impressive, but with his upgraded performance, he will perform unique flick trick moves. 5. Sadio Mané This player also plays for Saudi Pro Club Al Hilal. His card, after strengthening, can change his primary position on the field to a striker.

Of all the card stats, his offensive stats are the most impressive, as he has 90 speed, 89 dribbling, 86 shooting, 80 passing, 80 physical fitness, 44 defense, four stars in trick moves, and four stars in weak foot accuracy. These solid attributes and technical play allow him to dribble past opponents with ease, making him a top striker in FC 25. 6. Andrea Colpani Andrea Colpani is from and is one of the youngest players in the game. As a midfielder, he received a well-rounded evolution card under the Bag Of Tricks Evolution mechanism, with excellent offensive and defensive capabilities. His offensive end is very deadly, as he has explosive power, strong dribbling ability, and can finish shots from short and long distances. On the other hand, his defense is excellent, as his physical fitness makes it difficult for opponents to break through him easily. After his evolution, his attributes are fully upgraded to dribbling 94, sprint speed 93, ball control 92, endurance 90, reaction 87, acceleration 87, agility 87, bounce 84, skill action four stars and weak foot accuracy four stars. 7.

EA FC 25: What Is The New R ...
Sports fans! The highly anticipated EA FC 25 is set to be released on September 27th. The new game features an exciting new mode - Rush mode. It changes the traditional football game with a high-energy 5v5 format. This mode places great emphasis on fast-paced action and strategic flexibility in the field, providing players with a brand new way to play football video games. Whether you are building your Ultimate Team or leading your team to Manager Career Championship, Rush will bring you a lot of new game experience. This guide will give you an introduction to this new mode in FC 25, so that you can familiarize yourself with it before entering the game and make full use of it in the game. Without further ado, please prepare your FC 25 Coins to experience Rush mode! General Features In EA Sports FC 25’s Rush mode, your team is composed of 5 players, 4 of which are outfield players controlled by you, and the remaining one is an AI-controlled goalkeeper. This setting can be used in various modes in the game, including but not limited to Ultimate Team Rush, Clubs Rush and Manager Career Youth Academy Tournament. It is important to note that if you are disconnected in the middle of a game or actively quit the game, the AI will seamlessly take over your players to ensure that the game can continue. Although in most online ball games, goalkeepers are controlled by AI, they are more or less strategically guided by the captain of the current team. The captain can issue commands to sprint or adjust positions, which adds a layer of tactical depth. However, in Kick-Off Rush and Manager Career Rush, you have full control over all players of the entire team, including the goalkeeper, which is more conducive to learning tactics and strategies. Unique Features Race To Ball The most prominent feature in Rush mode is Race to Ball at the beginning of each game. Two football launchers located on the center line will randomly launch a ball at different speeds and heights, and then the subsequent game will start based on this ball. Race to Ball adds some unpredictable excitement to the game and also reduces determining the starting position. The most important thing is that when you control the players to get the key first possession of the ball, you will have an extraordinary sense of excitement and satisfaction. Fluid Positioning As mentioned earlier, Rush focuses on flexibility, which is mainly reflected because it allows you to position flexibly and smoothly, rather than fixed player positions. You can dynamically switch the positions and battles between the five players throughout the game, which is very helpful for you to cultivate strategic thinking and teamwork spirit. Of course, when the game is suspended, you can choose whether to rearrange the positions based on the last positions of these players, and then you need to communicate and coordinate continuously. Pitch Dimensions Since it is a 5V5 game, the number of people has decreased, and the size of the field will also become smaller. It is currently understood that the field size in Rush mode is 63.7 x 46.6 meters, which is about 41.5% of a normal football field. This smaller square field is very suitable for lateral ball transfer, which is also a side exercise for your ball skills. Although the field has become smaller, the width remains unchanged as a whole, because it is necessary to avoid a crowded game experience. In addition, key areas such as the penalty area and midfield area are proportionally reduced, allowing you to feel more realistically that it is no different from a normal stadium. Match Length And Tie-Breaking In Rush mode, the match is a 7-minute match with no halftime break, unless the ball goes out of bounds. If the score is tied after the 7-minute countdown, a 2-minute 20-second Golden Goal Extra Time will be entered. If the score is still tied in this case, a 1-on-1 Penalty Shootout will be conducted. If you or your opponent is about to shoot when the countdown ends, don’t worry, because there is a Buzzer Beater rule and the game can continue. Offside And Blue Card Rush mode introduces a modified offside rule from current football games - a dotted line is used to mark the offside area in each offensive zone. This adjustment reduces the congestion of the entire stadium and maintains the smoothness of the game. In addition, Rush mode will use Blue Card for serious offenders and ban them for 1 minute. If two Yellow Cards have been received during the game, they will also face the same punishment as Blue Cards. AI-controlled goalkeepers are not subject to these penalties. No Substitutions In Rush mode, there are no substitutions, which means you need to keep an eye on each player’s stamina. This will help you keep the game fast-paced and reduce interruptions. However, Offline Modes like Kickoff and Manager Career allow you to adjust your starting lineup before the match. Once selected, it cannot be changed, so be sure to think twice before selecting players. Alternatively, you can use some FC 25 Coins to upgrade some players so that they are always in the starting lineup. Ping System Ping System in Rush mode provides a visual way to signal your intentions to your teammates. By flicking the right stick, you can send arrows to indicate their desired actions, thereby improving coordination and tactical decision-making in the game. The above is some information about the Rush mode that you will experience in FC 25, which will be officially launched on September 27. I hope you can use this new mode to learn more about the skills and strategies in the field and lead your team to win more victories. If you want to know anything about other gameplay in FC 25, welcome to join iGMeet Discord, where there are many players looking forward to the arrival of this new game with you!Aug-16-2024
