Ultimate Guide to Grinding FC 25 82×20 Packs During TOTS

Daily Login and Initial SBCs

The Ultimate Team of the Season grind in FC 25 has reached new heights with the introduction of the repeatable 82×20 upgrade SBCs. Players worldwide are diving in to unlock as many packs as possible. To begin your journey, every day after 6:00 p.m., go to the daily login upgrade. This SBC will award you with an 81+×2 pack and some earlier fodder to start your grind.

Once you have your initial fodder, focus on the 82×20 V1 SBC, which requires:

  • Five 85-rated players (for one squad)
  • Four 86-rated players (for the second squad)

This SBC is more accessible than the V2 version, which demands higher-rated players. Initially, you will want to rinse and repeat the V1 SBC to maximize your chances of generating packs.

Daily Bronze and Grinding Upgrades

Next, it’s essential to focus on bronze upgrades. Start by completing the Daily Bronze Upgrade and Super Bronze Upgrade SBCs. Ensure to store all your bronze players, as they are critical for feeding into the grinding upgrades, forming the backbone of your repeatable cycle.

Once your bronze stockpile is ready, proceed to the grinding upgrades, allowing you to convert low-tier bronze and silver players into valuable gold cards. This step is vital for stocking your club with useful assets for future crafting.

Crafting Upgrades and Repeat

After crafting enough grinding packs, send any usable cards into crafting upgrades. These upgrades yield strong packs, such as 7×5 player packs filled with potential fodder. Consider using these packs to:

  • Build your inventory of 83–85 rated players.
  • Complete player picks, like the 1-of-3 82+ picks, utilizing even low-rated golds.
  • Recycle into 83×14 SBCs for enhanced returns.

These crafting upgrades are repeatable and are crucial in maintaining the loop. Even duplicates or lower-rated pulls play an important role if recycled correctly.

Smart Fodder Management and Player Picks

What should you do with low-rated cards (81–83s) that seem to have no place? Turn them into:

  • 1-of-3 82+ player picks — Great value requiring minimal investment.
  • 84+ Team of the Week upgrade — If you have an spare 83-rated squad.
  • 83×14 upgrade — A powerful tool for restocking your club rapidly.

If you find yourself overwhelmed with low-rated fodder, prioritize converting them into player picks to create possibilities for higher-rated options like 85s and 86s.

Stack Packs, Earn Coins, and Recycle

With each successful 82×20 SBC completion, remember:

  • The small Electrum pack reward is tradable. Selling players can earn you some valuable coins.
  • Use those coins to procure 85-rated fodder cheaply via various market filters or through platforms like ItemD2R.com.

Open your 82×20, store everything, and promptly recycle what you do not need:

  • 85s and 86s should go into the next 82×20 V1 SBC.
  • 83–84s are best utilized for the 83×14 upgrades.
  • 80–82s can be recycled into more player picks.

This continuous cycle not only proves effective but is also self-sustaining.

Bonus Tips: FUT Champs, Objectives, and Upgrades

  • Participate in Weekend League (Champs) for extra coins and fodder.
  • Keep track of Team of the Season objectives regarding Cups and Crafting Upgrade milestones.
  • Once you’ve stacked your packs, consider attempting the 85+×5 pack — it’s pricey but worthwhile during Ultimate TOTS.
  • If you acquire high-rated untradeables (like 89s or 90s), think about utilizing those for the 82×20 V2 SBC to get the most out of their value.

This grind is among the best that FC 25 has introduced throughout the season. By fusing daily login upgrades, bronze and crafting upgrades, along with smart recycling, players can continuously unlock 82×20 packs while incurring minimal coin costs. The loop is designed to be self-sufficient — as long as you maintain consistency, the rewards will flow in.
