With FC26 just weeks away, the focus has shifted to completing objectives and maximizing rewards. The FC26 pack grind is in full swing, as players aim to secure the final carry-over packs and prepare for the next season. EA’s recent updates, objectives, and evolutions are shaping the last stretch of FC25 before FC26 arrives.

FC26 Pack Grind and Objective Rewards

EA’s latest content drops include completionist objectives featuring limited-match challenges. One notable highlight is the 98-rated Cherokee card, requiring three wins out of six matches. This format introduces a tournament-style element likely to carry over into FC26. Rewards include Eden Jeko, Quanza, packs, and key evolutions like Intercept Plus and Quick Step Plus.

In addition, the 90+ x2 pack adds incentive for completing objectives fully. With daily league-based updates continuing this week, players can expect Bundesliga, Ligue 1, and other leagues to feature soon. These objectives offer a chance to strengthen clubs while securing FC26-ready packs.

Paid Evolutions and High-Cost Upgrades

EA released another 99-rated evolution called Time to Sue, priced at 200,000 coins. Despite the steep cost, this evolution creates powerful cards with major boosts, including low-driven shot plus, rapid plus, finesse shot plus, aerial dominance, and power shot upgrades.

The coin investment sparks debate within the community, especially this late in the cycle. While many players are saving coins for FC26, others see this evolution as an opportunity to experiment with unique builds before the reset. For those aiming to maximize their teams ahead of the transition, these upgrades are valuable tools.

SBC Releases and Market Strategy

Two key SBCs highlight the current content roadmap:

  • Pirlo SBC: A 99-rated card requiring 16 squads. Ideal for players who missed packing him but resource-intensive.

  • Stanway SBC: A more affordable option requiring five squads, offering another strong 99-rated card.

Meanwhile, many 99-rated icons and footies cards remain available through SBCs and player picks. EA’s approach encourages players to complete high-value objectives and exchange duplicate cards to build efficient squads. Transfer targets like Heung-Min Son and Udogie are also drawing attention for potential late-cycle investment opportunities.

SP Grind and Preparing for FC26

The final stretch of FC25 revolves around accumulating SP to unlock level 40 rewards and FC26 carry-over packs. With only 17 days left in the season, many players are racing to complete dailies, weeklies, and squad battles to secure essential XP boosts.

An SP chase objective granting a large SP bonus would ease the grind and keep players engaged heading into FC26. EA may release such events soon, alongside more 99-rated SBCs, icons, and potential player picks. With FC26 just 18 days away, every match played and every objective completed now has a direct impact on starting strong in the next season.
