Recent FC 25 content has been disappointing overall, but some player SBCs, like Rafa, Musiala, and Ruben Dias, have added real value to teams. Many players regret not completing Ruben Dias earlier because of the incredible difference he has made for teams, especially at higher divisions and in weekend leagues. While waiting for better content often feels like a good idea, much of the recent content hasn’t been strong enough to justify the wait. That said, you might benefit from trying out some current options.

Compensation Problems and Glitches

EA has faced backlash for some mistakes, such as glitches that temporarily removed player positions for cards like Salma Paralluelo. Players have expressed frustration with the lack of clarity about compensation, creating uncertainty about what they will receive. To avoid issues, staying away from certain glitched content may be wise.

Hero Packs Impacting the Market

Hero packs, which usually arrive on Sundays, often change the market significantly. Investors and flippers can take advantage of the market swings that occur after these packs become available. This past weekend, we didn’t see a hero pack, which surprised some players. If EA releases one this coming weekend, it could make Sunday an excellent day for trading or flipping.

Radiant Evolution Reviews

The new Radiant Evolution option, which costs 25,000 coins, has received mixed reviews. This evolution focuses on boosting physical stats like strength and stamina while also adding skills like improved crossing and four-star skill moves. However, for 25,000 coins, the investment doesn’t seem worthwhile. In comparison, other Evolutions have offered more significant upgrades, making Radiant Evolution feel like an unnecessary addition unless you’re working on a specific chain of Evolutions for a player.

The Zanetti SBC and Icon Trends 

The Zanetti SBC seems like a decent value for players who need a defensive midfielder or right back. For 150,000 coins, he provides versatility, solid stats, and consistent performance. However, investing in Icon SBCs only makes sense when the player fits your team perfectly or you can use duplicate fodder effectively. Zanetti may not compete with other Icons like Vieira or Maldini but could be useful if he fills a gap in your squad.

Rivals and Weekend League Rewards

This week, EA adjusted Rivals rewards, making it a better mode for grinding packs compared to Squad Battles. For those competing in Weekend League, rewards still vary greatly depending on rank. Reaching a higher rank in Weekend League usually offers much better rewards, but many players argue that Rivals rewards now provide more consistent returns without requiring as much time or stress.

Current State of Trading Tips

Trading this week revolves around market stability after a chaotic period caused by recent promos. The best trading methods involve buying meta gold cards during low periods and selling them during demand spikes. Timing plays a key role, especially with upcoming Hero packs and other promos potentially altering prices again. Players looking to flip cards should focus on staying updated with market trends and selling at peak times.

SBCs like Alexia Putellas Player of the Month or Rúben Dias justify their costs with long-term utility. Players should focus on completing these valuable additions rather than waiting for unpredictable, high-cost icons.
