FC 25 Mistakes


The extensive experience gained over many previous editions of Ultimate Team allows us to know the game like almost no one else. Therefore, given our close connection with this community, we are able to identify the most common mistakes made by the majority of players in this mode, and we will share them with you next.

  • Avoid looking for Easy Coins
    Every day, we encounter people who have lost all their coins and valuable cards because they believed there was a quicker and easier way to make coins in FC 25 Ultimate Team. There isn’t. Thousands of players fall into temptation and lose everything to fake websites and apps, which often have appealing names like card duplicators or coin generators. Generally speaking, buying coins is also not a viable option. You risk being scammed, or even if the purchase is successful, you could be banned by EA.

  • Don’t Buy Packs
    It’s time for one of the most popular FC 25 mistakes. When you open a pack, the items you get are probably not good enough to cover half of what you spent. It’s not easy to prove that buying packs is a bad strategy because we would have to analyze an extremely large sample. Even without being able to prove it, many FC 25 players who spent millions of coins and thousands of FC Points agree with us: buying packs is one of the worst investments you can make. It’s like playing the lottery. We pay the price of being able to dream. Almost sure we will not pack any good card, but that ‘almost’ is often enough to make us move.

  • Don’t Quit
    Are you losing 5-0 at half-time and you are afraid that it continues until it reaches the two digits? Whatever you do, do not give up. Firstly, because it is an extreme lack of fair play with your opponent. Secondly because, besides not receive the coins of that match, your DNF% (the index that measures the number of matches you have not finished) will drop. It means that you will also receive fewer coins in the next matches.

  • Pick the Best Formation and FC IQ Configuration
    Most Ultimate Team players haven’t tried more than 2 or 3 formations. Formations have a huge impact on your squad’s performance, so you should test as many as possible until you find the one that best suits your play style. Don’t forget that roles are also crucial for improving your team the way you want.

  • Improve Your Connection
    EA’s servers sucks. Fact. However, you can also perform a few actions to improve your connection. Change the firewall settings, open ports on your router, try a wired connection or get NAT 1. Whatever you do, try to improve your connection as much as you can. Otherwise, it will be more difficult to find an opponent, you will play more often in his stadium, the game will lags and your DNF% may be affected.

  • Be Calm
    In balanced matches, the most decisive factor is your state of mind. Success depends directly on your capacity to control your emotions and keep your concentration. We recommend you play alone and eliminate all potential sources of distraction. You should also make a pause whenever you concede a goal and don’t lose your temper. You can be frustrated, full of adrenaline and hungry for revenge. These are the exact ingredients that will most likely make you lose again.

  • Analyse Your Opponent
    Do you know those 15 seconds before any match that you have to analyze your opponent’s team? Put your smartphone aside, and use them wisely. They pass too quickly. Find out his, his best players and which side you can explore easier and adapt your strategy according to this.

  • Don’t Ignore Chemistry
    Chemistry is a crucial element in Football Club 25 because it directly impacts how well your team performs on the field. High chemistry ensures that players work together more effectively, enhancing their overall performance. Players with good chemistry are more likely to execute passes accurately, maintain better positioning, and create scoring opportunities. It also boosts individual player attributes, making them faster, stronger, and more skilled during matches. Without good chemistry, even the best players may struggle to perform well, as they might not synchronize properly with their teammates, leading to disjointed and ineffective gameplay. Therefore, building a squad with high chemistry is essential for maximizing your team’s potential and achieving success in FC 25.

  • Know the Marker
    A good trader always knows the market well. Many cards are discarded or sold at much lower prices than they were supposed to be because the players didn’t realize how valuable they are. The most common example is probably rare silver cards. If you want to avoid making these mistakes, consult an Ultimate Team database and check the current prices.

  • Know the Game Rules
    Most of the FC 25 players don’t know the rules and this affects their performance. They waste hours searching for the lower prices on the transfer market but they do not spend a few minutes understanding the game mechanics.
