EA FC 25 Premium Pass Guide: A New Paid Season Pass Tier Is Added To The Game!

If you are a fan of EA Sports FC series, you should know that the annual Team of the Season is one of the biggest promotions in the game. During the event, EA will release exciting TOTS cards for the best players in the world this season. This year’s FC 25 Team of the Season is approaching, and if you are playing Ultimate Team, this event is definitely not to be missed. This is your chance to earn a lot of FIFA 25 Coins and get some high-rated player cards! In this guide, we will explain how to prepare for the biggest promotion of the year, so that you can collect all the blue cards as quickly as possible, pile up fodder like crazy, and grind easier than others. Without further ado, let’s get started! How To Vote? First of all, before we officially start, we have to understand the voting mechanism of the annual Team of the Season event. As in previous years, FC 25 players can vote for the best players from different national men’s and women’s leagues. However, if you want to vote for league TOTS in EA FC 25, you must submit your selections through the official EA Sports FC TOTS website once voting is open for each league in both the men’s and women’s categories. 1. Visit EA Sports FC 25 TOTS website once league voting is open. 2. Select the league you want to vote for. 3. Browse the list of nominees and assemble your TOTS team. 4. Select your favorite players and drag them to the appropriate positions to fill out the starting lineup. 5. Agree to EA Terms and Conditions. 6. Click “Submit Vote”. Keep in mind that the voting process is the same for each league, but they all have designated voting and release dates, as follows: Ligue 1 - April 25 Eredivisie - April 25 Arkema Premier League - April 25 EFL Combined - May 2 BWSL - May 2 Premier League - May 2 Bundesliga - May 9 Super Lig - May 9 Frauen Bundesliga - May 9 Serie A - May 16 Europe Select - May 16 NWSL - May 16 LaLiga - May 23 Liga Portugal - May 23 Liga F - May 23 Saudi Pro - May 30 MLS - May 30 Rest of World - May 30 Ultimate - June 6 Please vote for your favorite league players in time, as this will affect the player cards you can get later. 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 Sports FC 25 has just released a message that a new event will be introduced in the game, and the reward player card packs in this event will be closely related to the players, that is Team of the Season Event. In this annual event, players will cast their precious votes based on the performance of the players throughout the season to select the 11 best players in each league to form the best team. Then EA will provide all players with the best team card pack after the election, which contains some of these 11 best players. Like the previous games in the series, FC 25 will also launch a Warm-Up Event before the official election, which will help players warm up before the official start of the event. And after this event, TOTS main event will enter the game, and then you can start to get the best team for your favorite league with a goal. To ensure you can get ahead of the game, this guide will provide you with specific information about the current Team of the Season Warm-Up Event, such as the release date and some precautions. Of course, the information that has been leaked and released in the main event will also be presented to you. About TOTS Warm-Up Event According to many leaks, FIFA 25 TOTS Warm-Up Event is expected to enter the game on April 18 and last for a week (ending on April 25). At that time, the main event will start and provide you with a large number of Player SBCs, Daily Challenges Rewards, Perks and Best of TOTW. In this event, players are also provided with Squad Building Challenges with super rich rewards - TOTS Warm Up Daily Challenge. Although it is not clear at present what requirements you need to meet or the rewards you can get, for the sake of insurance, it is recommended that you accumulate more FUT 25 Coins in your spare time so that you have enough budget and stronger players to complete all challenges. About TOTS Main Event After FC 25 TOTS Warm-Up Event, the first full best lineups will be announced on April 25th, and Main Event will be open to all players until June 6th. During this event, every Friday, the best lineups of at least one league for 2024-2025 Season will be released through a promotion. Please note that usually both the men’s and women’s best lineups for a league or country are released at the same time, so Premier League and Barclays Women’s Super League may be released at the same time. For the most well-known leagues, such as those in England, Spain or Germany, fans will have the opportunity to vote for the most deserving Ultimate Team of the Season in the game, which will cause the best player cards in the game to be re-released in the form of player card packs, so that players can have a chance to get them again, which will change the game landscape on a large scale. In addition, during TOTS event, the rewards offered to you in Ultimate Team Champions will be adjusted a bit: the latest cards you can get from it will become a special red version, which will make it more competitive. Of course, this event will provide you with a lot of SBCs, Objectives, and Evolutions so that you have enough budget to hone your best players once you have them. Voting will be done the same way as you would for Team of the Year in FC 25, on the official EA SPORTS TOTS website, but it’s worth noting that not all League Teams of the Year are voted for by fans. Leagues that are less well-known, like Ligue 1, Liga Portugal and MLS, will be announced in Mixed Leagues, without fan voting. Winners will be announced on FC 25’s official social media pages and later released as Team of the Year player packs. EA has announced the dates for Team of the Season best lineups for each league, which are as follows: TOTS Warm-Up - April 18 LaLiga, LaLiga Feminine And Eredivisie - April 25 Premier League, BWSL And EFL - May 2 Bundesliga, Frauen Bundesliga And Super Lig - May ​​9 Serie A, NWSL And Rest of Europe - May 16 LaLiga, LaLiga Feminine And Liga F - May 23 Saudi Pro, MLS And Rest of World - May 30 Ultimate TOTS - June 6 These are the players that FC 25 players can vote for in TOTS squad, but among them, the developers will also release some outstanding squads in Mixed League to bring some less well-known but truly talented players to the attention of fans and gamers. During TOTS Warm-Up Event, players are welcome to discuss the best players in each league in the various player communities or social media, or you can also stay active on this topic in iGMeet Discord so that you can be the lucky winner of the next super coin giveaway. Wish you a happy game!

As EA Sports FC 25 Season 5 progresses, the long-awaited new promotion Grassroot Greats is about to debut. This event was previously confirmed by FUT 25, and it will meet players this week. This event is centered on nostalgia and classics, aiming to bring back legendary players in Ultimate Team history who have conquered players with high cost-effectiveness or super powerful strength. Many players are concerned about which players will be selected for this event, and various leaks are emerging as the event is approaching. So are there any players you like among these leaked players? Date Grassroot Greats event is expected to be officially launched on February 14, 2025, replacing Future Stars promotion that ended at the same time. Grassroot Greats event will last for a week. After this event, it may be Road to the Final, taking over the second half of Season 5 of FIFA 25. In addition, Future Stars is being held. The players in this event also have very good data. They can definitely become one of the core players in your team. When Grassroot Greats event starts, the players in Future Stars will be removed from the shelves. Players who want to get Future Stars should quickly use your FC 25 Coins to unlock your favorite players! The theme of Grassroot Greats event is to pay tribute to the classics, focusing on those players who have left a deep mark in the history of Ultimate Team. These players may not be top stars in reality, but because of their super attributes in the game, such as Race, shooting or physical advantages, they have become the king of cost-effectiveness or even the most popular players in the player’s lineup. For example, Gervinho, Doumbia, Ibarbo of Roma trio in FIFA 15 or Alexander Esswein in FIFA 13 have become players’ nightmares with their low prices and amazing performance. Leaked Players Although EA has not yet officially announced the complete list, multiple leaks have revealed some core players and card design directions. Even when the official promotional video for Grassroot Greats was released in January, a leaked list was leaked: Doumbia Gervinho Ibarbo Franz Beckenbauer Diego Maradona Alexis Mac Allister Juninho Ian Wright Roberto Baggio Foudy Didier Drogba Jaap Stam Bruno Fernandes This list was leaked too early and may be different from the real list. But Diego Maradona is definitely on the list for this event. Because he is the cover character this time. As early as 2022, EA had to remove Diego Maradona from FIFA 22 due to some legal issues. His 91, 95 and 97 cards were all removed from Ultimate Team. Diego Maradona’s return is undoubtedly one of the biggest highlights of this event. His card may be 96 OVR Icon. What’s even more surprising to players is that EA FC 25 leaker Fut Sheriff revealed that the free Maradona Evolution is likely to appear in the game. Players only need to log in on a specific date to get it. In addition to Diego Maradona, the following players have a high probability of appearing in Grassroot Greats: Seydou Doumbia (94 OVR): A representative of the speed striker in FIFA 15 era. Gervinho (93 OVR): A winger with strong breakthrough ability. Victor Ibarbo (92 OVR): A stadium warrior known for his physical confrontation and running. Franck Ribéry (96 OVR): Icon card, strengthens dribbling and passing attributes. Didier Drogba (96 OVR): Has a powerful header like a beast. Roberto Baggio (96 OVR): Outstanding set-piece and ball control ability. Bruno Fernandes (92 OVR): Enhanced shooting and Skill moves. Alexis Mac Allister (92 OVR): A midfielder with both offensive and defensive capabilities. Grassroot Greats players are all very powerful this time, covering almost every position on the pitch. If you can get one of them, your team’s strength will usher in a qualitative leap. If you have a lot of FIFA 25 coins, then this event is the best time to use them. In addition, the card design this time will be integrated with a retro style. Some players adopt the classic style of their peak season, such as Maradona’s 1986 World Cup image. And all cards are equipped with exclusive PlayStyles+ enhanced skills, such as Maradona’s Trickster+ or Drogba’s Aerial+. How To Get Grassroot Greats Players? High-rated Icon cards are expected to require many coins or FIFA 25 Points. Players are advised to accumulate reward packs through Squad Battles or Champions mode. Common cards of historical classic players may be popular in the transfer market. Players who don’t need these cards can exchange them to accumulate some FUT coins. In addition, if active players are not included in the event, the coins you need to exchange them in the transfer market may be reduced. You can exchange some of these players to prepare for the next event. Grassroot Greats is not only a nostalgic feast for EA FC 25 but also a response to the needs of Ultimate Team community players. The emotional needs of old players are met, and it also provides new players with the opportunity to experience previous versions. In addition, the return of Maradona marks the reconciliation between the developer and the football player’s copyright holder, and more legendary stars may be introduced in the future.

EA FC 25 introduces a host of new features and mechanics to FC series. The new Skill Moves are the most talked about part of the game. After all, it’s about how your players perform on the pitch. In this guide, we’ll show you one of the craziest Skill Moves we’ve ever seen in FC series, Trickster Fake Shot. It allows you to quickly change the direction of the ball while giving you a brief burst of speed for a short period of time. Master it to dominate your matches! How To Perform A Trickster Fake Shot? With Trickster Fake Shot, you can easily beat defenders. So how do you perform it? You need a player with Trickster or Trickster+ Playstyle. The good thing is that this choice doesn’t give you much benefit, so just go with the Normal Trickster PlayStyle and spend your FUT 25 Coins on better players. Trickster Fake Shot is not easy to perform in EA Sports FC 25, but practice makes perfect. Similar to most other Skill Moves, Trickster Fake Shot also requires perfect timing and stick control to perform perfectly. Here are the detailed steps: If you are a PS4/PS5 user, then move the left stick in the direction you want to perform the move. Press O and then continue to press X to perform Trickster Fake Shot with a player with Trickster PlayStyle. If you are a Xbox user, then continue to move the left stick in the direction you want to perform the move. Press B and then A to perform Trickster Fake Shot with your player. Please note that the player must press Shoot followed by Pass button to perform this Skill Move perfectly. Best Place To Use Trickster Fake Shot Now that you have a detailed understanding of how to perform Trickster Fake Shot in EA FC 25, let’s talk about when and where it is best to use it. There are two places you can use it to its greatest effect, depending on the situation, on the wing and in the box. On the wing, if you see a defender over-committing to a passing lane, you can simply move the left stick accordingly and perform a Trickster Fake Shot to cut inside and score. You can also improve your wing play by performing this Skill Move past them and moving towards the sideline to explore the space in front of you. This move can also become dangerous in or around the box if the defender is careless when making a tackle. When you receive the ball, it will give you a little free space to turn. Inside the box, look at the defenders and find the little free space you can explore and perform a Trickster Fake Shot in that space to create a shooting opportunity for yourself. Even for a player like Cristiano Ronaldo with an Agility of 76, it’s incredibly fast. A powerful mechanic like this will change the game drastically. Tips & Tricks Even if you are using FC 25 Players that are capable of performing Trickster Fake Shot, we recommend not using it in a small space with more than two defenders. Since the player performs a ball roll in this trick, even if you easily pass the first two defenders, the third defender may be able to intercept the ball. Examples Let’s look at a few detailed examples. When our striker can receive the ball, even if he receives it, he will have his back to the goal because he needs to turn sharply during the pass. At this point, you need to pay attention to the defenders. If your opponent chooses to defend the upper player and move him away from your striker, this will open up a small space. Pay attention, turn in time, use your left stick to point the space outside, use Trickster Fake Shot, and turn swiftly past two defenders to end the game with a well-deserved goal. Another example, when you receive a pass from a left-footed player on the right side of the box, if you want to shoot with him, you need an extra touch to get the best shooting angle. However, a normal touch may be intercepted by the defender guarding you. So pay attention to the opponent’s intentions and judge whether he wants to rush into your running area and put himself between you and the goalkeeper. Considering this situation, if you can manage to turn 90° sharply and push the ball further at the same time, that would be perfect. Therefore, you can choose to perform Trickster Fake Shot to the lower side, and as long as the opponent’s defender is out of the picture, you can get the best shooting angle to score a goal! In short, if you can use Trickster Fake Shot skillfully, it will have a tremendous impact on your gameplay.
