Best time to buy or sell players and open packs in EA FC 25 Ultimate Team

As a seasoned FIFA Ultimate Team player with years of market analysis under my belt, I can confidently say that the transfer market in EA FC 25 is a rollercoaster ride. The changes in Division Rivals and FUT Champions have significantly impacted card prices, making it crucial to adapt our strategies accordingly.


Understanding the mechanics of the transfer market is crucial for players to maximize their earnings in FIFA 25 Ultimate Team.

In FIFA 25, EA increased the difficulty for both Division Rivals and FUT Champions, making it necessary to secure 15 wins instead of the usual 7 weekly wins to earn top rewards. This change directly influenced the prices of Ultimate Team cards in FC 25, as more victories led to a greater supply of high-quality cards on the market, causing their prices to drop.

To make it into the Champions Finals now, players need to win at least three out of five qualifying matches, compared to previously when they needed four wins from ten games. Given that FUT Champions consists of only fifteen games instead of twenty as in FC 24, there’s less room for mistakes.

In these two game settings, the tougher challenges come with enhanced prizes as compensation. Consequently, the trading market often experiences fluctuations, following the timing of when rewards get distributed.

Given the present market trends, it’s advisable to sell your cards on a Thursday evening and consider purchasing them on either Wednesdays or Sundays.

You can open packs if you’re interested in the cards from the current promotion as soon as you receive your rewards. However, if you prefer the upcoming event, it would be best to wait until Friday.

Ultimate Team Transfer Market explained

On Wednesdays, it’s common to see a market decline due to players selling their FUT Champs teams. However, when Division Rivals rewards are distributed on Thursdays, causing an increase in the number of coins players have, there’s often a surge in demand for popular (meta) players, leading to a market upswing.

If a promotional event begins on Friday, prices decrease as the previously competitive cards lose their appeal when superior alternatives become available. The market recovers on Saturday due to late additions in FUT Champions teams, but plummets again on Sunday when Squad Battles rewards are released.

With an increase in high-priced promotional events, classic gold cards and other previously popular cards are expected to drop significantly in worth. If you’re aiming to accumulate coins, consider selling them sooner rather than later as the value might decrease further.

In the meantime, valuable Gold and Inform player cards will keep increasing their worth since they’re essential for constructing squads for challenges such as the Max 87 Icon Squad Building Challenge.
