The final FC 25 RTTK tracker is locked down, with three players finishing up on lofty 93 ratings. Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham and Virgil Van Dijk were the big winners in EA FC 25 Road To The Knockouts, as cards earned boosts based on real-life European performances. Below we explain all the key details of the promo, before bringing you the very final FC 25 RTTK tracker.

What is FC 25 Road To The Knockouts (RTTK)?

FC 25

FC 25 Road To The Knockouts is the first major promo of the new season, featuring cards that can upgrade dynamically based on their team’s performance in European competition. Note that we said ‘team’ there – even if a player doesn’t play, or has a bad run of form, it’s only overall team achievements that matter. Objectives include wins and scoring at least once in four different matches, and you can see full details of them all below. FC 25 RTTK SBC dropped throughout the promo, with the first earning you an 86-rated Diogo Jota card. Sadly, that one expired on Friday, October 4.

Who is in FC 25 RTTK Team 1?

Cover star Jude Bellingham is the main player in FC 25 RTTK Team 1. The England man scored a new overall rating of 91, which jumped to 93 thanks to Real Madrid accomplishing their Champions League objectives. We’ll explain those shortly. Other UCL standouts include Julian Alvarez (ST, Atletico Madrid, 90), Jeremie Frimpong (RB, Bayer Leverkusen, 88), and Jeremy Doku (LM, Manchester City, 87)

Lyon winger Kadidiatou Diani is the standout female player in Team 1, with a fresh OVR of 90, while Europa League items you’d love to pack include Cristian Romero (CB, Tottenham, 88) and Rayan Cherki (CAM, Lyon, 87). There was initially only one Conference League player available: Fiorentina striker Moise Kean, with a new overall rating of 85. He was later joined by Malo Gusto (RB, Chelsea, 87) and Giovani Lo Celso (CAM, Real Betis, 85).

Need gameplay help once you’ve added one or two of these cards to your squad? Try our FC 25 skill moves and FC 25 chemistry styles guides.

What is the FC 25 RTTK Team 2 release date?

The FC 25 RTTK Team 2 release date was Friday, October 4. Two very familiar players shared top billing: England skipper Harry Kane, with an initial new OVR of 91, alongside Dutch man-mountain Virgil Van Dijk on the same fresh rating. Both Kane and VVD have since been boosted to 93.

A trio of UCL 87s also look intriguing: Bradley Barcola (LW, Paris SG), Ronald Araujo (CB, Barcelona), and Julian Brandt (CAM, Dortmund). All FC 25 RTTK Team 2 items have been added to the full cards list at the foot of this guide, along with their latest ratings.

How does the FC 25 RTTK upgrades system work?

The FC 25 RTTK upgrades system is tailored to the competition each individual is playing in, although the maximum number of possible boosts is three for every player. Below are the ways in which they can earn them, depending on which trophy they’re fighting for. Player Roles are new this year, and you can brush up on how they work in GR’s FC 25 Player Roles guide.

I'm GamesRadar's freelance sports editor, and obsessed with NFL, WWE, MLB, AEW, and occasionally things that don't have a three-letter acronym – such as Chvrches, Bill Bryson, and Streets Of Rage 4. (All the Streets Of Rage games, actually.) Even after three decades I still have a soft spot for Euro Boss on the Amstrad CPC 464+.
