FINAL THOUGHTS

You need to think carefully about both your budget and your player picks when building your dream team. 

Budget player cards show that you can compete without spending big. Mid-tier picks can give you better performance while staying affordable. The game's top-tier players cost more, but can completely change your game with their superior stats and PlayStyle+ combinations.

Note that your coin balance can grow with regular play, no matter what your budget. Or you can just buy FC Coins outright if budget is not an issue for you. Whatever your choice, we hope you find this guide helpful and wish you the best of luck in Ultimate Team 25!
