Ultimate Team (FUT) is the most popular game mode in the EA FC series, and it continues to enjoy huge popularity among fans. In fact, more and more players are discovering this unique and engaging experience.
That’s why we've compiled five essential tips in this guide to help beginners get started more effectively and achieve quick success. Let’s dive in!
Once you’ve launched EA FC 25 Ultimate Team and earned a few coins by winning matches or completing objectives, it’s time to start building a more competitive squad—and this deserves serious attention.
Team chemistry is the foundation of success. In FC 25, the chemistry system has changed slightly: instead of the old 100-point scale, chemistry is now maxed at 33 points. The closer your team gets to this number, the more likely you are to perform well in matches.
Chemistry depends on multiple factors such as player nationality, league, and club. For example, having multiple players from the same league will positively affect chemistry.
SBCs (Squad Building Challenges) are essential for both beginners and experienced players. The more you complete, the more valuable rewards you can unlock.
It’s important to know that most SBCs are one-time opportunities—meaning you might not get another chance to earn a specific player, or at least not for several months. So if you spot a new challenge, go for it immediately to make the most of your chance.
Trading is the lifeblood of FUT. If you’ve got coins and players, you should always keep an eye on the transfer market to pick up better cards and strengthen your team from the very beginning.
Don’t be discouraged if the market doesn’t go your way—just be patient and wait for the right opportunity, since prices are constantly shifting.
Also, every Friday evening, EA releases fresh content, including new SBCs, cards, and packs, which can affect market prices and open the door to new player investments.
In EA FC 25 Ultimate Team, you can find special player cards that are far more valuable than others. These are the Icons and Heroes.
Evolutions were introduced last season, but they play an even more important role in FC 25 Ultimate Team. With them, you can upgrade your UT cards by completing tasks and challenges.
If used wisely, you can triple a player’s level, improve their stats, boost their overall and individual ratings, upgrade styles, unlock secondary positions, and much more. It’s a fantastic tool—especially for beginners—to maximize the potential of your squad.
