The most popular game mode ofEA Sports FC 25, known as Ultimate Team, has a variety of cards for people to try out and build their best squad around. Some of the rarest ones in the game are known as Hero cards, which are former stars of specific leagues that are very easy to fit into any squad.
They work similarly to Icons, but Icon cards have their own Icon league that improves the team’s chemistry while Heroes are meant to improve the chemistry of a specific league. Some are mediocre, while others are worth millions of coins. Fortunately, there is an SBC that lets you get a Hero card with a max rating of 88, to help you get some of the best cards in the game for free.

Hero and Rating
Description
Antonio Di Natale (88)
The ultimate Hero attacker for this SBC is Di Natale. Four-star weak foot and skill moves, the False 9 ++ role at ST, and the extremely useful Finesse Shot+ playstyle make Di Natale a true threat, which is why he is estimated to be worth over 2 million coins on the open market.
Yaya Touré (87)
Touré is strong due to his great overall stats, his amazing physical stats, Incisive Pass+ playstyle, and ability to play CDM, CM, and CAM. Where Di Natale is the best attacker, Touré is the best Hero midfielder available for this SBC.
Jaap Stam (87)
One of the new Hero cards in FC 25, Jaap Stam is the prototypical fast and strong CB that every team needs in FC 25. His Bruiser+ playstyle allows him to out-strengthen almost anyone on the pitch, while his pace and Length acceleRATE make him hard to run past.
Zé Roberto (87)
If you want a hero to do skills with, the Brazilian Zé Roberto is the one you’d want. He has five-star skill moves, can play wingback as well as in the midfield, and has Technical+ to do those skills even better than most.
Jay-Jay Okocha (88)
If you want a card that can play both CAM and ST, has those five-star skills, and has Trickster+ to perform unique skill moves quickly, Okocha is the best option. His stamina and finishing are low, but the dribbling alone can lead to easy goals for Okocha or his teammates.
There are a lot of other cards that are still very good from this SBC pack, includingEden Hazard, Vincent Kompany, Blaise Matuidi, Paulo Futre, Wesley Sneijder, Marek Hamšík, and Saeed Al Owairan.
Due to the price of this pack, there are a total of 30 players that don’t match the price of the SBC, meaning there isa 44.7 percent chance that the player you get isn’t worth the price, but that doesn’t mean the cards themselves are bad. Plus, the odds of getting an expensive player are still slightly better than a coin flip.
If you’re lucky, youwon’t see cards like Lars Ricken, Nwankwo Kanu, or Jorge Campos. But if you see nations like France, Italy, or Belgium, you’re very likely to get a rare player to add to your squad.
