FC 25 LOAN PLAYERS
FC 25 Loan players are limited-use items that can boost the overall performance of your team.
Loan Items
Introduced by Electronic Arts in FUT 15, loan players are items designed for a
Loan player items are recognizable by a blue circle in the bottom right corner. The number within the circle indicates the remaining matches the player can participate in before their contracts expire, rendering the card obsolete.
You might wonder about the purpose of these cards when you can possess the final version. Well, firstly, they are typically free, and using them does not deplete the contracts of your regular cards. Additionally, they provide an opportunity to test new items before making a purchase.
There are some specific aspects about how these cards function that you should be aware of:
- Duplicates
If you acquire a loan player item you already have in your club, there’s no need to discard any of them. You can merge them into a single card, combining the contracts and preserving the stats from the initial one. - Squad
You can field multiple loan players simultaneously. It’s also possible to have both a loan player and their regular card in your squad, but only one can be used at a time. - Transfer Market
Loan player items cannot be sold on the transfer market. Attempting to discard them yields 0 coins. Furthermore, they cannot be used in squad building challenges. - Contracts
Similar to other player cards, except in Friendlies and Moments modes, using a loan player consumes one contract. If the player remains on the bench or reserves, their loan duration remains unchanged. However, you cannot apply contracts to extend the loan; once the contracts run out, the card becomes unusable. - Consumables
With the exception of contracts, all other consumables function normally on loan players, though it may be somewhat wasteful considering their limited availability.

There are several ways to get FC 25 loan players:

Starting Team
When you start Ultimate Team 25 for the very first time, right after opening your starter pack, the game requests you to select a player on your squad to replace with a high-rated loan player. It is a one-time chance to improve your squad with a top-quality player. Like on Draft, it will show five players to pick one, according to your selected position. The better is the card, the fewer games you can play with him.
