Every year during FC 25 TOTS, two highly anticipated SBC packs arrive—premium league upgrades and the guaranteed Team of the Season pack. With the premium League 1 upgrades already live, attention now shifts to today’s possible release of the FC 25 TOTS Guaranteed League 1 pack. This SBC could mark the start of a weekly pattern, offering players a direct shot at top-tier TOTS items and potentially shifting the entire FUT market.

Evidence suggests that EA is maintaining this structure based on previous years and the recent shift of the Campaign Pick to Tuesdays, clearing the Wednesday slot. That means today could be the first of many guaranteed packs to come over the next seven weeks.

Expectations Based on Previous SBCs

Last year, guaranteed League 1 TOTS SBCs arrived on Wednesdays, including the May 15 drop which required an 87-rated squad with one TOTS item. Given current pricing and EA’s tendency to repeat patterns, it’s likely the same structure returns.

TOTS cards are currently hovering around 18,750 coins. If today’s SBC mirrors past requirements, these cards could rise slightly, potentially to 20–21K. Investing earlier in the week would have been ideal—many discussed grabbing cards around 16–17K—but the current price still leaves potential for long-term gain as more SBCs appear.

Pack Weight, Fodder Concerns, and What to Watch

The big question surrounding any guaranteed TOTS pack is the weight. Historically, these packs are filled with low-tier cards that double as fodder—Bustos, Adozie, Goro, and similar. Even decent options like André Santos and Act-Hojbjerg get labeled as fodder simply due to availability and price. That said, players like Jonathan David and Rabiot remain viable pulls, with the real chase cards being Cherki, Barcola, and Nuno Mendes.

One wrinkle this year is the possibility of a combined men’s and women’s League 1 pack, based on the completionist reward from Season 7. Last year’s wording clearly separated the men’s TOTS. Whether EA repeats that or combines the two pools will heavily affect pack weight.

Market Moves, Quick Flips, and TOTS Investments

Cards like David Costa have historically risen weeks after their TOTS drop, reinforcing the idea of long-term stocking. A card bought for 15K last year peaked near 44K. This supports a patient hold strategy rather than short-term flips. Unlike Team of the Week items, TOTS cards have a slower climb, which also makes them viable for evolution compatibility down the line.

However, short-term movements are still possible. With Weekend League ending today and Rival Rewards arriving Thursday, players may rush to complete their squads. Failed pack pulls from the guaranteed SBC could lead to panic buys of desired cards like Mateo Dureau and Nuno Mendes.

Still, supply from rewards and potential Premier League TOTS leaks may offset that demand. Rivals player picks and packs are expected to bring another wave of cards onto the market, creating undercutting and drops.

Premier League TOTS Leaks, SBC Drops, and Today’s Content

Premier League TOTS leaks are beginning to surface—most notably with Mohamed Salah. This could trigger market fear, especially on out-of-pack cards that are likely to get new versions. For example, VVD dropped from 2.6M to 1.8M on speculation alone.

Upcoming SBCs like Cotota and Classy from the Eredivisie may further shake things up, particularly if Cotota (with three playstyle+ traits) releases today. If priced competitively, this could undercut current investments.

Also on the horizon is a leaked evolution that includes Acrobatic+, which many consider a weaker playstyle. Depending on requirements, this may or may not move the needle on market activity today.
