How can I get EA FC 25 TOTY players?

Here’s how you can obtain FC 25 TOTY players in Ultimate Team:

1. Buy TOTY players on the Transfer Market

TOTY players are available on the in-game transfer market, but be prepared to spend big. These cards are in high demand and come with premium price tags. We recommend waiting at least a little while until more TOTY cards are in circulation to find slightly lower prices.

2. Complete Squad Building Challenges (SBCs)

Earn packs by completing SBCs! During the TOTY event, watch out for special SBCs that could reward you with packs containing TOTY cards. Maximize your chances by completing as many SBCs as possible.

3. Buy Packs with FC Coins or FC Points

If the transfer market and SBCs don’t appeal to you, you can always buy packs directly using FC Coins or FC Points. Coins are earned by playing matches or trading items, while FC Points can be purchased.
Startselect offers official FC Points for Xbox and official PlayStation Store cards that can be used to get FC Points in the PlayStation Store. Pick up a card for your preferred platform and instantly start opening packs!
