The FC 25 Season 2 Ladder Players list release date is here, and brings mixed news. The new EA FC 25 season serves up rewards such as Centurions Donyell Malen, and Base Icon Lilian Thuram – but most of them are only with you as four-day timed loans. Hmmm. Still, there is a 100-item pack to grab as the overall season reward, too. We explain how it works below, before bringing you the full FC 25 Season 2 Ladder Players list.
[Mid-November update: some of the the timed loans were a cosmetic error on EA's part. We've updated the cards list at the foot of this guide to reflect this.]
How do I get FC 24 Season 2 Ladder Players?
FC 25 Season 2 Ladder Players are EA’s reward for ploughing time into the game and grinding XP – or SP, as it's known here. Objective sets are available in Ultimate Team, Manager Career, Player Career, and Clubs – and all contribute to you progressing along the Season 2 Ladder. For instance, hiring a 5-star coach in FC 25 career mode scores 200 SP. Go do that, now!
Rewards are granted for each 1,000 SP you collect, to a maximum of 35,000, for which you earn the final Level 35 reward. More on that shortly. Surprisingly, there's no crossover with the current FC 25 Trailblazers campaign.
Who are the best FC 25 Season 2 Ladder Players?
Two FC 25 Base Icons are among the most appealing offerings here, both of them waving the French flag: 90-rated CM Camille Abily, along with Lilian Thuram (RB, 88). They’re unlocked at levels 26 and 29 respectively, but you only get them for four days. That’s a blow. The best permanent reward is Ellie Carpenter. The Lyon right-back gets a new OVR of 87, with 87 pace, 87 defending, and 84 physical.
What other FC 25 Season 2 Ladder Rewards are there?
There are 35 FC 25 Season 2 Ladder Rewards in total, so don’t be too disillusioned by the short-term player items on offer. For instance, the final level 35 reward is a 75 x100 Gold Rare Players Pack, while level 33 grants you a 87x 2 Rare Players Pack. Clubs items include a powered white headband, and 7,500 coins, at level 21. If you need gameplay guidance to help unlock this stuff, dip into our FC 25 tips and FC 25 Player Roles guide.
