FC25: Centurions SBC, Team Pack & Ballon d'Or Highlights

November 11, 2024, CET, Welcome to today's EA Sports FC 25 Daily Update, brought to you by itemD2R.
1. New Squad Building Challenges (SBCs)
Today, the game has introduced the Centurions Legend Verón SBC, featuring significant attribute upgrades across six core stats. Notably, speed, dribbling, and defense have seen considerable improvements, making Verón a versatile and highly competitive midfielder. Given that this is the first Legend SBC of the Centurions series, many players are hopeful that the developers will keep the pricing fair. Considering the promising upgrades, it might be worth waiting for the market to settle before investing in this SBC.

2. Centurions Team Pack Released
Centurions Team Pack Released
The Centurions Team has officially been released today. The pack features a solid lineup of high-quality cards, with an even distribution between top, mid, and lower-tier players. Among the notable picks are:
• Rodri (Overall 92): Featuring 83 pace, 80 shooting, 88 passing, 85 dribbling, 87 defense, and 86 physical, Rodri's Centurions card is an absolute asset to any midfield lineup. His well-rounded stats make him a key player in both defensive and offensive plays.
• Caroline Hansen (Overall 92): With 90 pace, 88 shooting, 89 passing, 91 dribbling, 49 defense, and 78 physical, Hansen continues to be one of the most dangerous forwards in the game. Her Centurions card is highlighted by an increase in speed and her powerful finishing abilities.
• Lautaro Martínez (Overall 91): Martínez's 89 pace, 91 shooting, 80 passing, 88 dribbling, 50 defense, and 85 physical make him an ideal striker for players needing a reliable finisher in the penalty area. The card has received an excellent upgrade that emphasizes his goal-scoring capabilities and physicality.
The community has responded positively to the Centurions Team Pack. Players appreciate the variety and quality of the cards, which offer significant enhancements to their squads. However, there are mixed feelings regarding the cost and the difficulty of obtaining top-tier cards, with some players concerned about the steep investment required.
3. Centurions Evolution
A Centurions-themed Evolution is also set to be introduced. The card design for this evolution is visually appealing, and players are hoping that it offers a unique and engaging gameplay experience, avoiding the dullness of last week's lower-rated evolution. The Evolution will allow players to upgrade their Centurions-themed cards, enhancing key stats to make them more competitive in the game.
4. New SBCs and Tasks
• Centurions Darwin Núñez SBC: Priced around 270,000 coins, Núñez comes with an 87 rating, featuring 4-star skill moves and 4-star weak foot. With a height of 187 cm and a "Controlled AcceleRATE" type, this SBC is highly versatile, especially with the "Rocket" PlayStyle. The community has praised this card for its excellent speed and dribbling upgrades, making it a significant addition for any Premier League squad.
    ◦ Evaluation: As an English Premier League SBC card, Núñez's value has surprised players with its high cost-effectiveness. The enhanced dribbling, pace, and the newly added Rocket trait make him an ideal forward, while the 4-star skill moves and weak foot have made a major difference in his offensive threat. Some players feel the absence of finesse shot or outside-foot shot traits is a minor letdown, but overall, it's a great SBC for the price.
• Ballon d'Or Challenge SBC: This SBC rewards a tradeable Premium Gold Pack and is linked to theme-based tasks. It is highly recommended for players due to the value of the rewards.
• 81+ TOTW Upgrade SBC: Updated to require an 85-rated team, suitable for those aiming to get top-rated TOTW players.
5. Ballon d'Or Theme Event
At 4 PM, the Ballon d'Or Theme Event went live. Players who log into the game can claim two loan Ballon d'Or players until November 13th. By using these loan players in themed tasks, players can earn valuable pack rewards.
• Ballon d'Or Perfectionist Tasks: These include SBC challenges, special friendly matches, and SQB Ballon challenges. Some tasks require Ballon d'Or players to start in the squad. Rewards include 2,000 season points, 84×3 packs, and 85×2 packs. Although rewards may seem slightly limited, the opportunity to try out endgame-level players while earning free packs has been well received.
#6. Centurions Missions
• Centurions "10/10" Daily Mission: Runs for 20 days with 10 daily tasks. Players are advised to spread the tasks over time for efficiency, completing them alongside other objectives. Rewards include 1,500 season points, eight small packs, and a final 83×5 pack.
• Centurions Tierney Mission: Requires 10 matches to complete, and rewards players with a Tierney card. Given his average stats, it is suggested that players use this card as SBC fodder.
7. Rush Centurions Activity
The Centurions Rush activity has been introduced, with an overall cap of 92 rating for participants. Completing this event requires 9,000 coins or 1,200 FIFA points, with a timeline of 11 matches. The evolution focuses on enhancing passing and dribbling abilities, and if a chosen player does not have a gold skill, they will receive a gold dribbling skill. While Rashford doesn’t benefit from a skill upgrade, his other stats improve considerably, making him a solid choice for those needing an attacking upgrade.
Recommended Players for Evolution:
• Endrick and Tolisso are also great candidates for this evolution, as both will benefit from a comprehensive upgrade to their stats, enhancing gameplay value. Though the evolution may seem costly, the unique gameplay elements it adds are highly appreciated by the community.

The Centurions content in EA Sports FC 25 has significantly diversified player options, with new SBCs, themed evolutions, and packs that focus on honoring the career milestones of some of the most iconic players in football history.
