FC 25 Boosting

As EA Sports FC 25 Team of the Season is in full swing, a new season update has arrived. To be honest, the content brought by each EA FC series season update is not painful and there is nothing worth paying attention to, but this Season 7 not only brings some gameplay changes and bug fixes, but the most important addition is a new paid Season Pass tier - Premium Pass!

In fact, since the release of EA FC 25, Season Pass system in the game has always been completely free and open to everyone by default. Players can get rewards and additional content just by playing the game.

This strategy has successfully won the trust of most players who resist paying to win, and also distinguished itself from competitors like NBA 2K25 that adopt a paid season pass profit scheme, giving it a unique competitive advantage.

But this move didn’t last long, because with the upcoming Team of the Season (TOTS) promotion coming up, both the number of online players and the demand for various player cards and items are at a peak, so the developers are finally ready to add a new paid Premium Pass system to FC 25’s Ultimate Team mode for the first time. There is no doubt that the addition of this new feature is definitely a major change for Ultimate Team mode.

Start Time

This FC 25 Premium Pass system was added to the game at the same time as the release of Season 7, that is, it will be officially available at 7 am UTC on April 24, 2025, which is one day before TOTS promotion starts.

How To Get Premium Pass?

This new Season Pass tier is an additional ladder based on the standard season ladder, which can provide players with a lot of new tradable rewards, player items, evolutions, etc. However, please note that this Premium Pass is not available in all modes. It is only available in Football Ultimate Team, Clubs and Manager/Player Career.

In addition, it is worth noting that the way to obtain this Season Pass in FC 25 is different from the paid season pass system in similar sports simulation games. You are not limited to spending real money to obtain it. The developers have provided players with another option, that is, you can choose to obtain Premium Pass by using FUT 25 Coins.

In Season 7, it takes 1,000 FC 25 Points or 500,000 FUT Coins to redeem Premium Pass, which means that the large amount of coins you have accumulated in the game can finally be put to good use! This will be a welcome change for those players who often grind the game and do not want to spend extra money to get premium rewards in the game.

What Rewards Can Be Provided In Premium Pass?

As the first paid season pass introduced in FIFA 25, I believe the rewards provided by this Premium Pass must be exciting! The rewards you can get from it are as follows:

• Tradeable Packs: 85x30, 86x10, 84x25 Rare Pack
• SP (Season Points) Boosters: When you reach level 20 in Premium Pass, you’ll earn 10,000 SP, which are the necessary consumable points to unlock Premium and Standard Pass Seasonal ladders.
• Player Items: These include TOTS Flashbacks and TOTS Honourable Mentions.
• Evolution Consumables: These consumables improve your Role++ and Playstyle+, optimizing your player cards in less time.
• Retro Cosmetic Evolutions: Premium Pass will offer more retro kits from Football Ultimate Team history, this time themed around TOTS.

How Does The Introduction Of Premium Pass Affect TOTS?

EA FC 25’s Team of the Season will run for seven weeks, highlighting the top players from each of the major leagues. The developers are starting with the top teams from Ligue 1, Arkema Premier League, and Eredivisie. Although we note that there is no voting feature for Ligue 1 squads at the moment, fans can vote for Premier League first, and then vote for their favorite Bundesliga, Serie A, and La Liga teams in the coming weeks.

Before TOTS promotion, both TOTS Warm Up series and the new Invincibles event gave players the opportunity to win free gift packs and accumulate FC 25 coins, so most players are fully capable of getting Premium Pass at this time to prepare for the upcoming annual event! Therefore, it is not groundless for the developers to release this paid season pass at this time.

However, some players are skeptical about this new change. Because according to previous experience, developers usually use TOTS period to test new systems in preparation for the next FC series game, and the emergence of Premium Pass may indicate that the profit strategy of Ultimate Team mode will be further expanded. Will the original economic system in FC be destroyed by the pack inflation? Everything is unknown.

Granted, even if some FC 25 players are wary of this, the option to use EA FC 25 Coins to get the Ultimate Team Season Pass has already done its best to strike a better balance between free and paying users, minimizing potential losses for players. Therefore, we may really expect the arrival of the Premium Pass to accelerate our success in TOTS!

If you are a fan of EA Sports FC series, you should know that the annual Team of the Season is one of the biggest promotions in the game. During the event, EA will release exciting TOTS cards for the best players in the world this season.

This year’s FC 25 Team of the Season is approaching, and if you are playing Ultimate Team, this event is definitely not to be missed. This is your chance to earn a lot of FIFA 25 Coins and get some high-rated player cards! In this guide, we will explain how to prepare for the biggest promotion of the year, so that you can collect all the blue cards as quickly as possible, pile up fodder like crazy, and grind easier than others. Without further ado, let’s get started!

How To Vote?

First of all, before we officially start, we have to understand the voting mechanism of the annual Team of the Season event. As in previous years, FC 25 players can vote for the best players from different national men’s and women’s leagues.

However, if you want to vote for league TOTS in EA FC 25, you must submit your selections through the official EA Sports FC TOTS website once voting is open for each league in both the men’s and women’s categories.

• 3. Browse the list of nominees and assemble your TOTS team.
• 4. Select your favorite players and drag them to the appropriate positions to fill out the starting lineup.

Please vote for your favorite league players in time, as this will affect the player cards you can get later.

How To Prepare?

First up, on April 18th, everything kicks off with TOTS Warm Up series and a brand new promotion called Invincibles. But this is probably EA’s way of getting you excited and draining your bankroll before Team of the Season arrives.

During this time, you’ll see some nice players appear in Team of the Week (TOTW) player packs, like 89 Mohamed Salah or Virgil van Dijk, as well as a ton of daily SBCs and objectives that drop juicy packs as rewards. But don’t be fooled, because the real Team of the Season content won’t be released until April 25th, when community TOTS squads go live and the real grind begins.

Saving Your Packs

Now, let’s talk about pack saving. You need to save every pack of value from now on. You need to save 85+ rated packs from Division Rivals and Champions Mode and Squad Battles, as well as daily upgrade SBC rewards (like 81+ player picks). Avoid opening any player packs above 80 unless you are chasing Team of the Week.

Also, here’s a pro tip: wait until the league TOTS you are targeting go live before opening these packs, which means if you want Premier League Team of the Season, hold on to your packs until May 2nd. That way, you don’t need to spend a ton of coins stacking packs after the event goes live.

Ways To Get More Packs

Next, we’ll focus on efficient ways to get these packs, and the key way is league SBCs & upgrades.

• Step 1: Clean up your club with player picks above 81 or above 85.
• Step 2: Save fodder from Major League and use for league SBCs.
• Step 3: Repeat to complete league SBCs, then upgrade your SBCs with duplicate players and recycle everything.

This method allows you to build a large number of packs while keeping your FC 25 coin balance safe.

Prepare Evolutions And Accumulate Resources

Don’t neglect Evolutions, they are free and often give great upgrades. At the same time, it is also crucial to complete daily goals in time to unlock milestones and repeatable SBCs, and pack rewards while you are grinding matches.

For example, if EA drops an 83+ x10 Rare Players Pack for Premier League, you will want to be ready with fodder and goals. At this point, Team of the Week cards finally become important again, because if you have an 84+Rated SBC Squad this week, EA may require them for repeatable upgrades and daily SBCs. Once TOTS goes live, these cards will be worth a lot of money.

Conclusion

Finally, let’s wrap up with some golden rules. Your first goal now is to save the 81+ packs you can currently get, and then open them once the league TOTS you want goes live. While doing this, don’t forget to keep your club stocked with 83 to 87 rated players.

Also, try to avoid using your SBCs during the TOTS Warm-Up period unless the player is a must-have. It is recommended that you prioritize Evolutions as they are free power-ups. Most importantly, stay disciplined so that when TOTS drop, you are always ready to build your dream lineup.
