With the daily upgrades temporarily removed in FC 25, many players feel like the grind has come to a halt. But don’t worry—there’s still a full grind path available that doesn’t cost you a single FC 25 Coin. In fact, if you know where to look and how to connect the grind steps, you can earn premium packs, top-rated players, and even tradable items to boost your FIFA Coin balance.
Here’s your complete, updated grind blueprint to help you pack Team of the Season (TOTS) players efficiently.

Step 1: Take Advantage of Rush Points and Weekly Objectives

• The easiest starting point to rebuild your grind is the Rush Points system. These quick-to-earn points offer solid pack rewards that help refresh your club without engaging in complex SBCs.
• Complete Weekly Objectives (especially those requiring Rush wins) to earn extra rewards passively.
• Play 3 matches daily (even in Squad Battles) to unlock 4 free packs + bonus rewards.
• Pro Tip: If you don’t feel like playing competitively, AFK Squad Battles on beginner difficulty while doing something else—it still counts!

Step 2: Easy SBCs That Offer High Returns

• Head to the SBC tab and check out the 81+ Tradable Team of the Week Upgrade.
• Requires an 85-rated squad, but you can craft this using fodder from your grind.
• Sell the TOTW player for ~18,000 FUT Coins—great value for a craftable pack.
• Key Strategy: Always use untradeable cards first to maximize profit.

Step 3: Super Daily Silver = Grind Central

• While Bronze/Silver/Gold daily upgrades are gone, the Super Daily Silver Upgrade is still available and extremely valuable.
• Submit silver commons → get a gold pack in return.
• Use those golds in the TOTS Grind Upgrade for higher-rated rewards.
• This is your core crafting loop—don’t skip it!

Step 4: Use Icon SBCs for More Silver Supply

Running low on silvers? Icon SBCs can help:

• Complete Born Legend & Rising Star segments (they require bronze rares).
• These reward silver packs, which feed back into the Super Daily Silver Upgrade.
• A simple way to keep the grind going without spending EA FC 25 Coins.

Step 5: Maximize the TOTS Crafting Upgrade Path

• The TOTS Crafting Upgrade (daily cap: 25) is where your golds and mid-tier players should go.
• Each submission returns a new pack, helping you build towards better SBCs.
• One grindable card can lead to 3-4 more when routed correctly.
• Best for long-term value—don’t ignore this!

Step 6: Build UT 25 Coin Flow with TOTW SBCs & Marquee Matchups

• Craft a TOTW player → sell for 18K–20K coins.
• Combine with Marquee Matchups (often costs <10K to complete).
• Total value per cycle? ~45K FC Ultimate Team Coins with minimal effort.

Step 7: Leverage the Premium Mixed League Upgrade

• If you’re running low on grindable content, this SBC is a late-stage lifeline.
• Cheap to craft using commons from TOTS Crafting Upgrades.
• Can return rare golds & high-rated fodder for bigger SBCs.
• Slow but effective when other options dry up.

Step 8: Target the Right High-End SBCs

• Not all SBCs are equal—prioritize these:
• 83x14 & 83x10 Upgrades (best TOTS pull chances)
•  Avoid Any TOTS Trade-In early (too expensive for the value)
• Save big SBCs for when you have duplicates or excess fodder.

Step 9: Don’t Sleep on Squad Battles

• Reliable weekly rewards (even if you AFK some games).
• Helps complete objectives passively.
• Not the most exciting, but always worth it for free packs.

Conclusion: The Grind Is Alive and Well

Yes, EA removed daily upgrades, but smart planning and efficient recycling keep the grind strong.
Super Daily Silvers → TOTW flips → SBC chains = consistent rewards.
Stay patient, consistent, and efficient—your dream TOTS squad is still within reach!
When daily upgrades return, you’ll already be ahead of the competition.
