There are few things that are givens in this world, but annual sports games are one of them. From the very conception of the first home consoles, sports games have always been a staple. By the mid 1990s, annual sports releases were becoming the norm, with franchises like Madden NFL and FC 25 Coins rearing their heads every year consistently. In these early days, yearly sports titles were truly innovative, attempting to capture the sport as best they could with the technology they were given.

Nowadays, millions pick up the new FC, NBA, or Madden every year, and publishers keep raking in the sales, even if some big sports titles fail to live up to expectations. With half of the year left, there are still plenty of sports games set to release, including some fan-favorites, and some bold newcomers.

The English Premier League is not only the most-viewed domestic football league in the entire world. It is also a fan-favorite when it comes to putting together Ultimate Team builds in FC 's overwhelmingly popular FC 25 Ultimate Team game mode. After all, the EPL is where many of the best teams and top-performing players ply their trade, which is reflected by their FC 25 stats.

On the other hand, the popularity of the Premier League has inevitably driven up prices of the best player cards from that competition. For example, buying an 85-rated striker from the EPL will cost FC players much more than buying a La Liga footballer with the same stats. That is not to say that players on tight budgets are all out of luck. There are still plenty of budget alternatives one can buy to complete their Premier League FC 25 Ultimate Team team without breaking the bank.

Updated June 23. 2022 by Maciej Grzymkowski: With cheap EAFC 25 Coins coming to Xbox Game Pass, the game is gearing up for one final swan song before inevitably getting replaced by the next entry in EA Sports' juggernaut of a franchise. Players looking to quickly get into the Ultimate Team mode should probably focus their efforts on the English Premier League, by far the most popular choice in FC 25 Ultimate Team.
