You may have noticed that the prices on PC vary greatly from a player's price on the Xbox & PlayStation Transfer Market. This has been the case since FIFA 23, when the Xbox and PlayStation markets merged into one for all players on a console. With more items on the market and widespread availability, individual items on the console Transfer Market are up for grabs at a cheaper price.
Some of the most worthwhile SBCs require several high-rated squads, meaning you'll need to stockpile as many high-rated fodder players as possible. While they may have high ratings, most of the players listed in the tables above are not considered meta. Therefore, you can get them on the cheap in Ultimate Team.
Keep an eye out for some of the best ongoing SBCs like the Icon Upgrade SBC, Campaign Upgrade SBC, or Player SBCs. The cost of these SBCs might seem steep, but they offer a great opportunity to bolster the quality of your squad. If you purchase EA FC 25's cheapest high-rated players, you'll dull the financial burden and sting of completing them regularly.
