FC 26 Market Watch: Standard Edition Is Here, Foundations Leaked - Where's The Slowdown?

Time: 2025-09-26

Low content volume today, but the market remains active with surprises and leaks.

Unexpected Marque Matchups Shake Prices
This week’s Marque Matchups featured Liverpool vs. Crystal Palace, causing significant price spikes for players from these clubs. Most traders expected Napoli, Atlético Madrid, or Real Madrid—making this selection highly unexpected. Leaks likely influenced early investments; we’ll share sources if uncovered.

DR Rewards Show Limited Gains
As anticipated, Division Rivals rewards triggered minor market movement. Only budget cards saw notable profit margins (40%+). Note: Week 1 DR data isn’t representative due to no Weekend League and many Ultimate Edition players yet to join.

Weekend Market Outlook
Legend and Hero cards should rise regardless of promo pack strength, while sub-50k gold cards will continue declining. Even Mbappé’s value dropped significantly today—proof that high-end cards retain value best. This is EA’s design: premium cards rebound fastest during market recoveries.

Standard Edition Opportunity
With Standard Edition players arriving, budget cards (<10k) will fluctuate. Buy low, list at 20% profit, and sell all listings before 12:00 PM ET on September 26.

Silver Stockpiling Strategy
Marque Matchups packs flooded the market with silvers. With slow Evolutions for golds but strong silver options, target usable silver cards for future Evolution segments.

Foundations Promo Leak: Where’s the "Slowdown"?
The fully leaked Foundations promo shows significant stat boosts—contradicting EA’s promised "gameplay slowdown." This seems to target paid content, as free grind options remain limited.

Leaked SBC/task players include Goretzka, Kudus, and Zubimendi (ratings unconfirmed). New PlayStyle+ system data also leaked: this year, traits can be added or removed, not just adjusted.
