You might have noticed that player prices on PC can differ significantly from those on the Xbox and PlayStation Transfer Market. This disparity started in FIFA 23 when the markets for Xbox and PlayStation merged for all console items. With a larger inventory and more accessible options, players tend to be available at lower prices on the console Transfer Market.
Many appealing SBCs require multiple high-rated squads, making it essential to gather as many high-rated fodder players as you can. While these players may boast impressive ratings, many of them might not fit the current meta. This implies you can acquire them at bargain prices in Ultimate Team.
Don’t forget to check out some of the ongoing SBCs, such as the Icon Upgrade SBC, Campaign Upgrade SBC, or various Player SBCs. Though the cost of these challenges might seem high, they can significantly improve your team. By investing in EA FC 25’s most affordable high-rated players, you can mitigate the overall expense when completing these challenges regularly.
