A promo is only ever good in EA FC if it has a proper menu grind. FUTTIES, being the last promo, always features a healthy grinding to farm the Upgrade Packs, giving the game a proper sendoff.
Plus, with the return of exchanges in Squadshifter, you don't necessarily need a large stock of fodder to go with. Here’s how to recycle between them to complete all upgrades, including Crafting and Grinding SBCs.
Best Ways To Grind FUTTIES Upgrade Packs In FC 25
As with any promo in FC 25, you start your day with dailies, which include Daily Bronze, Silver, and Gold Upgrades. In times when we have both Grinding and Crafting Upgrades, we also get a "Super" daily upgrade depending on which of the Silver and Bronze rarities are required.
For FUTTIES, we have the Daily Super Bronze Upgrade, as the Grinding Upgrade requires it. So your initial cycle to build up low-tier fodder for FUTTIES Crafting Upgrade is: Daily Bronze, Super Bronze, Silver to Daily Gold, FUTTIES Grinding Upgrade to FUTTIES Crafting Upgrade.
If you’re short on Bronze anytime, purchase the 750 Coins Premium Bronze Pack. Quick sell all non-card items, and you should get some coins back. The method is much easier and can be better than the market, depending on your luck.
You may not have enough Bronze to do all the Grinding Upgrade, and that's fine. No need to buy Bronze or chase them. Crafting Upgrade is to complete the objective and get the pack, but you don't have to blow them in one day.
Next up are major upgrades like 83+ 1 of 3 picks, 84+ x10, 85+ x10, and 86+ 2 of 3 picks. They are simple, as you move from the lower ones to the higher. For ones that require TOTW or TOTS, you can use either based on which you have more.
Using TOTS instead of TOTW is better if you have lots of them, as they’re rated higher. Just 81s and 82s are enough to complete upgrades like 84+ x10 with TOTS.
The moment you're stacked with 83s, drop them to 84+ TOTW Upgrade. If you’re short on fodders, simply do objectives like Daily Play to give you a start.
You just have to complete the cycle once or a couple of times, and you'll have lots of 88s, 89s, and higher in your club. Especially the ones from ‘Best Of,’ as they have a higher drop rate. A good stock of 88s, 89s, and above should fund back the entire grind for another day with exchanges, all the while giving you a nice shot at packing a good FUTTIES card.
So, to conclude, here’s your usual grind cycle:
- Dailies (Bronze, Super Bronze, Silver, Gold)
- Grinding Upgrade
- Crafting Upgrade
- 83s for TOTW Upgrade
- 84+ x10, 85+ x10, and 86+ 2 of 3 picks, in that order.
- 88s, 89s, and above on Squadshifter.
- Repeat!
That’s everything you need to know about menu grind in FC 25.
