The EA FC 25 Web App is here and players are wasting no time hopping in and building their first Ultimate Team squad.
Once you’ve opened your starter pack, the Web App can feel quite limiting, as you can’t play an actual match until the game officially launches on September 20. But don’t worry, there are still plenty of ways you can use it to gain an advantage over the competition.
Here are some useful tips to remember in the EA FC 25 Web App when it comes to both trading and earning coins.
Best ways to make Ultimate Team coins in Web App
Don’t Quick Sell unwanted cards
One of the most important things to remember in the Web App, especially before the full launch, is to never discard your unwanted players. While this can be tempting if you pack someone you know you’ll never use or a tradeable duplicate, you could be losing out on easy coins.
At this early stage of the game, other players will be desperately trying to complete Hybrid Nations or other SBCs, so cards that you might not think are valuable could fetch a nice profit on the Transfer Market.
So, be sure to add any players you don’t want to keep to the Transfer List and check their prices regularly to decide the best time to list them.
Hold onto meta cards
If you’re lucky enough to pack one of EA FC 25’s best players on the Web App, it can be tempting to sell them right away and cash in. Again though, you can easily maximize your profits with a little time and patience.
Before the game officially goes live, most players won’t have the coins to buy high-rated cards from the market. This means the prices of these items are often fairly low on the Web App, before spiking when early access begins and players start making more coins.
So, it’s best to hold onto the best cards you pack at this stage and wait for the ideal time to pull the trigger.
Don’t do upgrade SBCs
Gold Upgrades are a staple of Ultimate Team and are a great way to exchange players you no longer need for better ones. However, at this point of EA FC 25, you should avoid them at all costs.
The beauty of the first few weeks of the season is that virtually all cards have some kind of value, whether it’s a Bronze or a Rare Gold. So, dumping 11 of them into upgrade SBCs for just two or three in return is waste of time and coins.

Since you can’t guarantee that you’re going to get anything better from the Gold or Silver Upgrade, we recommend either selling your unwanted players on the market or using them for more valuable SBCs.
The Bronze pack method
Although it’s no longer as overpowered as it has been in previous years, the Bronze pack technique is a nice and easy way to turn a quick profit in FC 25.
The method is fairly simple; all you have to do is keep opening Bronze packs and listing the players on the Transfer Market. Often, you’ll find that what you get in return just about covers the 750 coins it costs to open them, but it’s also possible to claw back more than you paid.
According to Futmind, the average value of a Bronze pack in FC 24 was 937 coins, so it’s definitely a trick for the more dedicated players willing to put the time in. However, if you happen to get a card that’s useful for an early SBC, you could get thousands of coins from just a single pack.
Invest in players with meta stats
As mentioned above, the price of players is likely to rise drastically once early access begins. So, the Web App is the perfect time to buy potentially meta cards when they’re at their cheapest, but who should you go for?
There are a lot of factors to consider, but the main attributes you should be looking at are their stats and league. If you spot a player from one of the top five leagues in Europe they’re going to be very desirable in starter squads, especially if they have high Pace or Shooting stats.
It’s also important to think about which meta cards they could link to. For example, Sporting Lisbon’s Viktor Gyokeres appears to be an OP card from a lesser-used league, so Premier League or LaLiga players with a Swedish Chesmitry link will have extra value as managers look to squeeze him into their team.
Don’t forget about EA tax
The only way to really earn a profit early on in the EA FC 25 Web App is by selling players on the market, so it’s vital that you take the tax of each sale into account. Every time you sell an item, EA SPORTS deducts 5% in an effort to keep the Transfer Market in check.
So, if you buy a player for 5,000 coins and decide to sell them for 10,000, you’ll lose 500 coins on the spot. This is still a healthy profit, but at a stage in the season where funds are hard to come by, make sure you’re calculating exactly how much you’ll get in return from each listing.
With all these EA FC 25 Web App tips at your disposal, it shouldn’t take long for you to earn enough coins and build a squad strong enough to challenge in Division Rivals and FUT Champs.
