Team of the Season is one of the twilight promos in EA FC 25. Past that, the wheels of the game start to come off, and motion towards the next installment. Grand promos like these also tend to have all the good stuff, from the best cards to extensive menu grinds.
Here's how to get the best out of the grind for the Team of the Season promo in EA FC 25.
Best way to grind TOTS Upgrade Packs in EA FC 25
Before we debrief the grind, keep in mind that the type of upgrade packs will change as the promo progresses, but your process of recycling and juggling between them will remain the same.
One of the first things to do is complete daily upgrades, Bronze, Silver, and Gold. Right now, we also have a TOTS Grinding Upgrade that requires a Silver Squad. Whenever we have upgrades as such that require either a Bronze or Silver, we get a Super Daily Upgrade to help with that.
Daily Gold also requires Silver, and Super Daily Upgrade won’t be enough for both unless you have a good stock of Silver cards. The difference between TOTS Grinding and Daily Gold is only one Common Gold, with Daily Gold offering more.
However, you get three Rare Gold in TOTS Grinding instead of one in Daily Gold, making it a lot more recyclable. We suggest prioritizing TOTS Grinding Upgrade over Daily Gold when short on Silvers.
For extra stacks of Silver, do every Icon SBC’s first challenge, Born Legend, to get a Small Silver Pack in exchange for Bronze players. Look out for any other challenges that reward the Electrum Players Pack, too.
In case you find yourself short of Bronze cards any time, the Premium Bronze Player Pack in the Store is an easy solution.
All in all, your grind will always start in this order:
- Daily Bronze
- Daily Silver
- Daily Login Upgrade (or similar)
- Super Daily Silver (or similar)
- TOTS Grinding Upgrade (or similar)
- TOTS Crafting Upgrade (or similar)
- Daily Gold Upgrade
Coupling all that with the Objective and the packs you get elsewhere, you should have enough to get rolling on with the bigger upgrades with decent fodder.
First cycle ones that require anything lower than 82 or Common. But make sure you get something good in return. Typically, player pick upgrades, like the current 82+ x2 of 5 Player Pick, are not worth doing. They are only worth gambling when they reward higher overall picks.
Anything along the lines of 83+ x14 is worth spending your fodder on, and league-specific upgrades with similar overall are good too.
The biggest pain here is getting Team of the Week players for many of these challenges. Buying Informs from the market is not a good idea, and they’ll be sold at a higher price in situations like these because of high demand.
TOTW had its own SBCs, but the promo has come to an end, as is usually the case when the TOTS promo is close to being released. Despite that, informs can still get a price hike, which means you can sell them on the market and generate a good profit.
So all in all, first do your dailies and check for any objectives (Daily, Rush, etc) to build your pile of fodder. Then, cycle through ones that require only Common Gold or similar before dumping them all to higher 83+ x10 and similar.
