If you’ve been keeping an eye on the Fantasy FC promo, you’ve probably noticed some big shifts across the market in EA FC™ Ultimate Team. From valuable new cards and potential upgrades, to a wildly popular new “League” mode that feels suspiciously like Weekend League during the week, there’s a lot to break down. Whether you’re here for coin tips, meta squad building, or just curious about the new content, let’s dive in!

Icon Player Pick SBC: Cheaper, But With a Catch

Unlimited & Repeatable

EA re-released the Icon Player Pick SBC—unlimited and repeatable. It’s cheaper now (requiring 86-, 87-, and 88-rated squads), which is pulling high-rated fodder down in price due to an unexpected factor: base Icons are still included.

  • No 89-Rated Squad
    Unlike some previous Icon SBCs, there’s no 89-rated squad this time. That’s causing 91-rated fodder cards (like Rodri or Haaland) to drop drastically, since the biggest squads needed for Mbappé (Play of the Month) are no longer a driving force.

  • Fodder Market Shifts

    • 86 and 87 overalls: Rising because they’re directly needed for the Icon squads.
    • 88, 89, 90+ overalls: Falling since there’s less demand with no 89+ squads required.
    • 91-rateds: Some plummeted from 56–57k coins down to ~41k coins in a day. They may even touch the mid-30k range until another large, expensive SBC comes along.

Tip: If you plan to do the Icon Player Pick, it’s more affordable than ever. Just be aware that pulling a base Icon is quite likely, which can diminish the “wow” factor—though some base Icons might get interesting upgrades if EA adds more Evolutions that boost them significantly.

Fantasy FC League Mode: A Midweek Weekend League?

A brand-new Fantasy FC League mode launched in Friendlies—but it’s offering Weekend League–style rewards. Here’s why everyone is buzzing:

 Elite-Tier Rewards

  • Stacked Packs
    You can earn high-value packs like 8×20, 8×15, 8×10 bundles (and more), which rival what you’d get from Weekend League.
  • Progressive Player Rewards
    If you manage enough wins, you can claim special player items like the 92-rated Maicon in the deeper stages. It’s a big grind, but if you can push to higher win targets, the payoff is impressive.
  • Evo Token at 10 Wins
    One of the most valuable milestones is the Fantasy FC Dribbling Evolution Token, boosting composure, reactions, and balance on the selected player—a rare kind of upgrade from Evolutions so far.

 Game Mode Constraints & Tips

  • Limited Matches
    You get 12 matches in this League mode until a refresh on Thursday—then 12 more, and again on Monday/Tuesday. That’s 36 games total if you maximize each set.
  • Squad Building
    The best approach seems to be:
    1. One 90-rated card
    2. Two 88-rated cards
    3. Rest 86-rated or below
    4. Silver bench (bronze benching doesn’t work)
    5. Use a couple of decent super subs—if you have leftover rating allowance.
  • Don’t Risk Unplayed Games
    Until we know how the refresh works, it’s safer to use all your matches before Thursday. If you wait, there’s a chance leftover games might not stack on top of the new 12.

Skyrocketing Prices for 86 & Below (Fantasy FC Promo Market Tips)

Because of the squad restrictions (max 90/88 overalls, the rest 86 or below), specific gold and special cards are suddenly extinct or inflated:

  • Gold van Dijk: Extinct at max price.
  • Gold Kyle Walker, Raphaël Varane, Manuel Neuer, and other meta golds under 87 overall are spiking hard.
  • Special Items like TOTW or low-rated promo cards (e.g., De Paul, Dodo, Ramierz, etc.) have doubled in price overnight.

Market Tip:

  • Have any 82–86 meta golds or special versions in your club? Check now; you might be sitting on a fortune.
  • Expect a dip once many players finish their 12 matches. Prices could rebound again on Thursday when the mode refreshes and everyone rebuilds squads to chase those wins. That cycle might repeat for each refresh.
