Early Release of Futties Team 2 Cards

Futties Team 2 has yet to officially launch, but thanks to a surprising early drop from EA, players can now access these coveted cards. Fans concluded that they could obtain Team 2 cards through the Season 9 Weekly Play 2 objective, which was refreshed earlier than usual. This led to an unexpected twist in which packs rewarded from this objective already included some Futties Team 2 players prior to the official announcement.

Further news from EA confirmed that this situation was acknowledged via social media. They assured fans that any issues related to the pack-opening experience would be rectified before the full release of Team 2. Notably, the pack-opening bug that caused players to be kicked from the store has been resolved. This means eager players can now explore the opportunity to open Team 2 packs ahead of schedule, creating exciting new chances to enhance their gameplay.

Exciting Pre-Order Rewards

In addition to the early card release, EA has provided gamers with attractive FC 26 pre-order bonuses. Any player who pre-ordered the Ultimate Edition is now entitled to a 93+ Mixed Campaign Player Pick as well as a brand-new 99 Shooting EVO. These rewards arrived remarkably fast, just under 24 hours after the trailer debuted—much quicker than anticipated.

The 99 Shooting EVO carries immense value with its 99 shooting stats and unique shapeshifter dynamic card design, featuring Finesse Shot+ if the respective player possesses three playstyle pluses already. Players are already experimenting creatively with this new EVO card on legends like Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar as they incorporate it into ongoing EVO chains. Notably, this upgrade has no prerequisites, making it one of the most influential early EVOs to date.

New SBCs: Skellyy Alvaro and Icon Drop

Thursday’s content update brought in two significant SBCs. The first one features Skellyy Alvaro, a remarkable 6’8″ midfielder boasting 5-star skills and weak foot. Although his individual stats might not be overwhelming, his height and dynamic evolving potential add a twist that makes him a fun and budget-friendly addition. Completing this SBC requires an 84-rated squad alongside either a TOTW or TOTS player, making him a low-risk option for those willing to try something new.

The second SBC has introduced a 5’2″ version of Mama in an “On This Day” Icon drop. With impressive 96 pace and dribbling stats, she stands out uniquely on the field despite having less favorable playstyle pluses like Dead Ball+. Nevertheless, her skills include Rapid+, First Touch, and Travella, making her a formidable player. The quirks of her SBC cost players approximately 162k coins across six squads, though only three squads carry significant weight due to the minimal requirements for bronze, silver, and loan players.

Players looking to increase their coin count can further accomplish the Throwback Marquee Matchups, which rewards them with a tradable 50k pack.

Market Movements and PTG Upgrades

The market has shown significant fluctuations in response to all incoming content. Following the Division Rivals rewards, the price of fodder has seen a noticeable drop; however, specific segments—particularly 88-rated cards—may rise again with the anticipated refresh of the 93+ Shape Shifter and Futties Player Pick. Investment in Team of the Week and Team of the Season cards remains wise if they can be acquired for under 13k coins.

Moreover, PTG cards have experienced remarkable volatility linked to the outcomes of the Women’s Euros. The elimination of Sweden led to a sharp decline in the prices of Swedish players like Rolfo and Shelin. Conversely, England’s victory caused players such as Stanway to soar from 346k to over 570k due to a confirmed PlayStyle+ upgrade. Performance in Spain's upcoming games is critical to determining the market’s next shifts, especially for prominent players like Paralluelo.

Some Futties Team 1 cards have also experienced a rise post-reward, including Lauren James, attributed to her five PlayStyle+ attributes. While the drop of Team 2 could temporarily impact the market, many Team 1 cards have the potential to rebound depending on Team 2's pricing and pack weighting.

Batch Re-Release and Promo Flood

This Friday's content promises an exciting refresh of player packs. Batch Re-Release 2 expands the pool of available players in packs to 200, up from 155. Now, Team of the Season cards rated 95 and above have been included, alongside Foot Birthday icons and multiple versions of elite players like Vini Jr. and Hansen.

This re-release also marks the return of legendary icons including Beckham, Zico, and Matthäus. Cards like Foot Birthday Reynald and Fantasy Heung Min Son are now accessible again, giving players enhanced opportunities to obtain top-tier assets. These additions tie directly into the anticipated SBCs, such as the expected 84×10 upgrade.

For players keen on maximizing their gameplay experience, accessing cheap FC 25 Coins or FIFA coins for sale could prove beneficial in enhancing their overall roster.
