What’s the Deal with FC 25 FUTTIES?

If you’re new to the scene or just need a refresher, FC 25 FUTTIES is EA’s way of throwing a massive party to wrap up the Ultimate Team season. It’s like the grand finale where they bring back the best special cards from earlier promos—think Team of the Season (TOTS), Team of the Year (TOTY), and Icons. 

These ‘Best of’ batches are the highlight, giving you another shot at packing those 99-rated beasts that can turn your squad into a powerhouse. Plus, there are new SBCs, objectives, and even community voting to keep things fresh. It’s the perfect time to grind and build your dream team!

Batch 3: The Current FC 25 Meta Monsters

What’s Coming in FC 25 FUTTIES Batch 4?

Alright, let’s talk about the big question: what’s in store for FC 25 FUTTIES Batch 4? As of August 3, 2025, Batch 4 hasn’t hit packs yet, but based on the pattern of previous releases, it’s likely to drop soon, probably on August 8, 2025. EA typically releases a new ‘Best of’ batch every couple of weeks during FUTTIES.

So, what can we expect? Batch 4 will likely follow the same formula as its predecessors, re-releasing top-tier cards from earlier promos that haven’t made it back yet. We’re talking about cards from events like TOTS, TOTY, Thunderstruck, Future Stars, or even some of the newer promos like Greats of the Game. Based on Batch 3’s 214 cards, Batch 4 could push the number even higher, possibly crossing the 200-mark again with a mix of Icons, Heroes, and current stars.

For example, we might see legends like Ronaldinho, David Beckham, or Thierry Henry make a comeback, or maybe some standout performers from recent tournaments like the Euros or the Copa America. EA loves to keep us on our toes, so expect more 99-rated monsters with crazy stats and Playstyles+ that can shift the meta. Keep an eye on EA's website for official announcements to confirm the release date and player list. 

Batch 4: Icons and Heroes Dropping 99-Rated Bombs

Batch 4 hit packs and it delivered exactly what the meta needed—more overpowered reprints and fresh Icons that make defending a nightmare. Drawing from the official squad reveal, this batch pulled in heavy hitters from earlier promos like Immortals and TOTS, with three straight 99s leading the charge. 

Think Ruud Gullit as a CAM beast with five PlayStyle+ for that unstoppable box-to-box vibe, Ousmane Dembele flipping to ST at 99 OVR to shred fullbacks, and Aitana Bonmati holding midfield at 99 with her unreal passing links. Community threads on Reddit's r/EASportsFC were blowing up about how Gullit's card fixed Icon droughts for mid-table squads. If you're building around pace, Dembele's 99 PAC pairs nasty with quick wingers, but watch the SBC costs—untradeables spiked post-drop.

Top Meta Picks and Chem Links in Batch 4

Diving deeper, the real gems here link up seamlessly for hybrid setups. X users like FUT_Ranks highlighted Heung-Min Son's 98 LW as a budget banger, clocking 98 PAC and 97 SHO to replace aging TOTS options without breaking your coin bank. Moises Caicedo at 98 CDM brings that shadow presence with PlayStyle+ tackling, perfect for anchoring a 4-3-3 against spam passers. 

For Icons, Thierry Henry's 98 ST feels like vintage Arsenal—dribbling through traffic like it's FUT Champs warm-up. From social buzz, players on X reported Gullit cheming 100% with Dutch or Serie A links, turning average teams into WL contenders. Avoid over-investing early; prices dipped 20% by August 3 as pack luck evened out.

Community Reactions and FC25 Trading Tips Post-Batch 4

The FC 25 X feed lit up after the 6 PM drop, with EAFCassist noting no Batch 4 re-release in the final week, pushing everyone to snipe these before Team 5. Traders on forums shared how Suarez's 97 ST reprint undervalued Inter Miami links, great for MLS hybrids.

Reactions mixed—some griped about another Dembele flood, but most agreed it boosted women's cards like Bonmati, making her a staple in balanced squads. If you're flipping, target Heroes like John Arne Riise at 97 LB for quick 50k profits on Norwegian links. Overall, Batch 4 stabilized the market after Batch 3 hype, giving casuals a fair shot at meta upgrades without whale-level spends.

Tips to Get Ready for Futties Batch 4

Packing these high-rated cards is no easy feat—RNG can be brutal! But with the right strategy, you can boost your chances of snagging those Batch 4 gems. Here’s how to prep:

1. Stock Up on FC 25 Coins: Having a solid stash of FC 25 coins is key. Grind matches in Rivals, Champs, or Squad Battles to build your coin balance. You can use these to buy players off the transfer market or open packs during the promo.

3. Play Smart: The more you play, the more rewards you earn. Focus on objectives that give you packs or coins to maximise your grind.

    

4. Trade Like a Pro: Keep an eye on the transfer market. Prices can spike during promos, so buy low now and sell high when Batch 4 drops.

    

5. Stay Updated: Check EA's official channels regularly for news on Batch 4’s release and what cards might be included. Being in the know gives you an edge.

By following these tips, you’ll be ready to pounce when Batch 4 hits packs, whether you’re hunting for that dream Icon or a current superstar.
