What is a Fodder in FC 25

In EA Sports FC 25 Ultimate Team, "fodder" refers to player cards with high overall ratings that serve little purpose in actual gameplay or on the transfer market. These players typically have poor in-game performance despite their high ratings, making them essentially useless for your starting lineup.

Best Ways to Use Fodder Players

Fodder players might be useless on the pitch, but they can generate significant value elsewhere in FC 25 Ultimate Team. Here are the most effective ways to use these high-rated but underwhelming cards:

• Complete high-value SBCs to transform your fodder into elite players. Target SBCs that offer special cards with meta stats or packs that could yield better players. Focus on challenges that provide the best return for your investment.

• Use duplicate high-rated cards in upgrade SBCs like the 83x10 or 84x5. These challenges let you trade a squad with specific rating requirements for packs containing multiple high-rated players, potentially including usable cards or even higher-rated fodder.

• Hold onto fodder during market lows and sell during high-demand periods. When major SBCs drop, fodder prices often spike as players rush to complete challenges. This price fluctuation creates profit opportunities if you time your market moves correctly.

• Save your highest-rated fodder for premium SBCs requiring 86+ rated squads. For less demanding challenges, use your lower-rated fodder (83-85) to maximize resource efficiency.

Examples of Fodder Players

FC 25 contains many high-rated cards that function primarily as SBC fodder. Despite impressive overall ratings, these players lack the necessary stats for competitive gameplay:

• 90+ Rated Fodder:

  • Manuel Neuer (90)

  • Casemiro (90)

  • Toni Kroos (91)

• 88 Rated Fodder:

  • Robert Lewandowski

  • Bernardo Silva

  • Jan Oblak

  • Harry Kane

• 87 Rated Fodder:

  • Thomas Müller

  • Fabinho

These players deliver maximum value when submitted into high-requirement SBCs rather than used on the pitch.
