If you’re playing EA Sports FC 25 and want to get your hands on some Team of the Season (TOTS) players, you don’t need to spend FC Points. In fact, this is one of the best times of the year to grind packs completely for free.
With a few daily steps and smart use of Squad Building Challenges (SBCs), you can build up a good collection of packs and increase your chances of packing those blue TOTS cards. This guide will walk you through everything you need to do, even if you’re starting from scratch or just logging in casually.
The process might feel slow at first, but once you get into it, it becomes part of your daily routine. It’s a bit like discovering Baobao, where sports and gaming mix in a way that just clicks. On platforms like boaboa.sk, fans enjoy that same mix of competition and entertainment, and the TOTS grind gives off a similar vibe in FC 25. You’re not just opening packs, you’re working toward something that feels rewarding.
Step 1: Daily Silver Upgrades
Each day, EA Sports offers two types of Silver Upgrade SBCs: the Daily Silver Upgrade and the Super Daily Silver Upgrade.
- Daily Silver Upgrade: Can be completed up to three times daily. Requires submitting one silver player per completion.
- Super Daily Silver Upgrade: Can be completed up to seven times daily. Also requires one silver player per completion.
By completing all available daily silver upgrades, you’ll submit 10 silver players and receive a total of 143 silver players in return. These silver players are essential for the next stage of the grind.
Step 2: TOTS Grinding Upgrade SBC
Use the silver players obtained from the daily upgrades to complete the TOTS Grinding Upgrade SBC.
- Requirements: 11 silver players per completion.
- Limit: Can be completed up to 25 times daily.
Each completion rewards you with a pack containing seven common gold players and three rare gold players. If you complete all 25, you’ll exchange 275 silver players for 250 gold players, including 75 rare golds.
Step 3: TOTS Crafting Upgrade SBC
Next, use the gold players from the previous step to complete the TOTS Crafting Upgrade SBC.
- Requirements: Seven common gold players and two rare gold players per completion.
- Reward: A pack containing five rare gold players rated 77 or higher.
This SBC is repeatable without a daily limit, allowing you to use all your available gold players.
Step 4: TOTS Crafting Upgrade Completionist Objective
As you complete the TOTS Crafting Upgrade SBC multiple times, you’ll progress through the TOTS Crafting Upgrade Completionist Objective, which offers additional rewards:
- Complete 1: 83+ x5 Rare Gold Players Pack
- Complete 5: 84+ x3 Rare Gold Players Pack
- Complete 10: 84+ x4 Rare Gold Players Pack
- Complete 20: 84+ x5 Rare Gold Players Pack
- Complete 30: 83+ x10 Rare Gold Players Pack
- Complete 50: 85+ x3 Rare Gold Players Pack
- Complete 75: Poacher+ and Advanced Forward++ Evolution Consumable
- Complete 100: 86+ x3 Rare Gold Players Pack
These rewards are untradeable but can significantly enhance your squad.
Step 5: League Upgrade SBCs
With the rare gold players you’ve accumulated, consider completing League Upgrade SBCs, which require 11 rare gold players and reward you with 12 gold players (three rare) from a specific league. Focusing on leagues currently featured in TOTS increases your chances of packing TOTS players.
Additional Tips
- Daily Login SBC: Complete this each day to earn additional packs and progress towards milestone objectives.
- Objectives: Participate in limited-time objectives, such as the TOTS Cup, which offer packs upon completion.
- Transfer Market: If you need more rare gold players, consider bidding on them in the transfer market for 550 to 600 coins each.
- Avoid: Spending coins on store packs or making panic buys during market fluctuations. Focus on the grind to maintain a sustainable approach.
That’s the full grind. It’s not the quickest method, but it’s reliable, repeatable, and completely free. As long as you log in daily, complete the silver and gold upgrades, and manage your club well, you’ll be opening packs regularly and boosting your chances at hitting a TOTS player.
Even if you don’t pack a top card, you’ll stock up plenty of high-rated players for other SBCs.
