Tuesday is Fc 24 player pick day, and one of the best player picks we’ve been enjoying for the past week is expiring, signaling the arrival of a new one. Two questions arise: Will it be a Futtie’s only player pick? When will it be dropped—during the early content time or the regular content time? Regardless, the expiring player pick and its potential replacement offer the best chance at securing those elusive 99-rated cards. There’s much to discuss, including FC 25 leaks and ratings that are circulating widely.

Let’s dive into the content. Yesterday, EA surprised many with a player objective SBC combination that seemed almost like a test. This SBC is tied to the Khéphren Thuram objective card. Initially, it appears as a standard upgrade pack SBC, offering a Premium Gold Players Pack. However, it requires an 88-rated squad, which seems excessive until you realize the objective’s full context. The Khéphren Thuram card is unlocked not just by completing the SBC but also by playing one game in any Ultimate Team mode. The requirement to play a game after completing the SBC seems random and unnecessary, leading to speculation that EA might be testing a new mechanic to prevent players from completing SBCs solely through the web or companion app.

Khéphren Thuram SBC

Khéphren Thuram’s card, while always considered OP, is a transfer card that fits the preseason promo’s theme. However, it has one major drawback: its play style plus, Flare Plus, isn’t impactful at this stage of the game. If the card had defensive play styles like Intercept or Anticipate, it would be significantly better. Despite this, Thuram remains a beast in-game, but the most intriguing aspect of this card is the combined objective and SBC requirement, which is quite unconventional.

Icon SBCs: Patrick Vieira

In the icon SBC section, yesterday’s highlight was the Patrick Vieira SBC. This card, a legend of the game, comes with five squad requirements. Upon seeing the requirements during a stream, the surprisingly low cost of the SBC was shocking. Vieira, who was priced at 200k when the SBC dropped, quickly dropped to 80k. The SBC is incredibly cheap, making it accessible for most players. However, the ease of packing Vieira, as many already have, raises questions about the value of completing the SBC.

Player Pick and SBC Updates

There were also player picks dropped yesterday, but they didn’t generate much hype due to the 84×10, which everyone is grinding. The 82+ player pick was re-released with the same requirements, and while some players enjoy the simplicity of player picks, the 86+ pick is more appealing. This pick refreshes in a few hours at the early content drop, alongside the 85×10. It’s a nice option for those looking for something different from the 84×10 grind.

Potential New SBCs and Player Picks

Player SBCs are dropping daily, and while we’ve seen greats like Vieira and Rivaldo, there’s speculation about what’s next. Although big names like R9 are unlikely to drop on a Tuesday, other legends like Zidane or Hullet could be on the horizon. There’s also anticipation for more transferred player SBCs, especially as we move further into the preseason promo. The absence of leaks adds to the suspense, but rest assured, a player SBC is expected today.

Evolution Drops and FC 25 Leaks

Tuesdays often bring Evolution drops as well, though these tend to lag behind the hype of pack grinds. However, the real excitement lies in the FC 25 leaks. Yesterday, the entire database of ratings was leaked, providing early insights into the game’s content. Navigating these leaks is challenging, with ad-heavy apps like Foot Scoreboard being the primary source, though Twitter is a viable alternative for finding ratings.
