Earning EA FC 25 packs in EA FC 25 Ultimate Team has never been easier. Here's how you can grind your way to packing some TOTS players, without spending a penny.
The popular TOTS promo is now live in EA FC 25 Ultimate Team, with a Premier League TOTS, WSL TOTS and EFL TOTS all set to be released this week in place of the Ligue 1 TOTS squad. The Premier League TOTS squad is arguably the most anticipated from the entire TOTS release schedule, so it's no surprise that players will be doing whatever they can to try and earn one of these blue and gold player items.
‌
From saving packs for weeks to loading up a fresh batch of FC points into Ultimate Team, there's a host of different methods people will be using to try and pack these players, but one thing EA Sports always gets right during TOTS is the menu grind, and it's easily the best way to earn EA FC 25 packs quickly during TOTS.
‌
Follow these steps, and you'll have some incredible packs in no time, even if you're starting from scratch.
How to grind packs for TOTS in EA FC 25 Ultimate Team
There's no reason to be spending any money on FC Points in EA FC 25, because it's never been easier to grind your way to the best packs in the game and make the best Ultimate Team squad possible. As we saw during TOTY, EA has added some new upgrade packs as SBCs during TOTS, allowing you to exchange low-rated bronze, silver and gold players for bigger packs in return.
These are the exact steps you need to follow to grind some packs during TOTS.
Daily Silver Upgrade and Super Daily Silver Upgrade (Step 1)
Each day, EA refreshes the Daily Silver and Super Daily Silver Upgrade SBCs, where you can complete the former three times and the latter seven times daily. Each SBC requires just one silver player, so in total, you're submitting 10 silver players for three Premium Silver Players Packs (12 common silver players, three rare silver players) and seven Super Silver Packs (11 common silver players, three rare silver players).
In total, for submitting 10 silver players, you're getting 143 silver players in return.
TOTS Griding Upgrade (
Once you've earned all of your silver players, you will submit these into the TOTS Grinding Upgrade SBC, which can be completed 25 times daily. The requirements for the SBC are 11 silver players, so if you were to complete all 25, you'd have to submit a total of 275 silver players. This is obviously more than what you get from the silver upgrades, so either do as many as you can or just save a few more silvers to reach this quota.
‌
For each TOTS Griding Upgrade SBC you complete, you will receive a Grind Pack in return, which includes seven common gold players and three rare gold players. In exchange for 275 silver players, you will get 250 gold players, with 75 of these rare.
TOTS Crafting Upgrade (
The next stage is to submit all of the gold players you just earned into the TOTS Crafting Upgrade SBC. This SBC can be repeated as many times as you want, so you can pretty much complete this until your club is empty!
The requirements for the SBC are seven gold common players and two rare gold players, and in return, you are given a 5x 77+ Rare Players Pack. If you were only to use the players earned from the TOTS Grinding Upgrade, you could complete this 25 times, which would see you submit 50 rare gold players and 175 common gold players.
‌
This means that in exchange for these gold players, you would receive 125 Rare Gold Player items, all rated 77 or higher. There's also a TOTS Crafting Upgrade Completionist Objective available, where you can earn free packs based on how many times you complete the TOTS Crafting Upgrade SBC.
Pick and choose (
Now you've got 125 rare gold players at your disposal, you can pick and choose what upgrade packs you want to use. It's likely at this stage of the game you would've got some good-rated fodder from your packs, so we'd recommend using the higher-rated players for big upgrade SBCs such as 83+ x14, 84+ x7, and guaranteed TOTS upgrade packs.
For the lower-rated players you packed, we'd recommend using these in the Premium League Upgrade SBC. For 11 rare gold players, you will receive a league-specific pack containing 12 gold players, with three of these rare. These league-specific upgrade packs are based on the league that currently has a TOTS squad in packs, so it increases your chances of pulling a TOTS player.
Once you're out of players, repeat all of these steps the next day, and hopefully you'll be lucky enough to earn yourself some big TOTS items. Good luck!
