In EA SPORTS FC™ 25, Rush brings a unique and collaborative twist to the traditional squad-building experience within Football Ultimate Team™ (FUT). Designed to foster teamwork and strategic thinking, Rush requires players to work together to build a squad that not only excels on the pitch but also meets specific event requirements to maximize Rush Points earned. Here’s everything you need to know about building the perfect Rush squad.
Rush introduces a refreshing approach to squad building in Football Ultimate Team™ by emphasizing collaboration with teammates. Instead of assembling a squad solo, you and your teammates must collectively select players that can deliver strong performances while also ensuring that your squad meets the block requirements of the event. This unique aspect of Rush adds a layer of strategy, as you’ll need to balance individual preferences with the overall goals of the team.
The challenge lies in building a cohesive squad that can dominate the pitch while completing these requirements, which will boost the Rush Points your team earns throughout the event. The more efficiently you work together, the more points you’ll accumulate, enhancing your chances of success.
Once you’ve gathered your teammates, the squad-building phase begins. In this phase, you and your teammates will be tasked with selecting the players you’ll control in the upcoming match. Player Items from your Club will be pre-filtered based on the event’s entry requirements, ensuring that only eligible players are displayed. This makes it quicker and easier for you to select players who meet the criteria for the event.
If the pre-filtered suggestions don’t meet your preferences, don’t worry! You can still manually search for specific players from your Club during the squad-building phase, allowing you to customize your selection to fit your playstyle or event strategy.
Time is of the essence in Rush. You and your teammates will have 90 seconds to finalize your player selections. The countdown creates a sense of urgency and encourages efficient decision-making as you work together to assemble the best possible squad.
During this period, remember that each player can only control the player they select. This adds a tactical element, as you and your teammates need to ensure that your choices complement each other to form a well-balanced team. Duplicate players are not allowed, meaning you can’t have more than one version of the same player on the team. This includes different versions of the same player card, such as Icon or Special variations.
Once all players have locked in their selections or the 90-second timer expires, the squad-building phase ends, and your team will begin matchmaking with opponents.
To maximize your Rush Points, it’s essential that you and your teammates consider both the performance of the players on the pitch and the completion of event-specific block requirements. Selecting the right players for the event’s conditions and working strategically during matches will ensure that you earn the maximum points possible.
Each match presents an opportunity to not only showcase individual skills but also to demonstrate the strength of your collaboration as a team. Communication and coordination during the squad-building phase can significantly impact your success in the match and the points you earn in the Rush event.
Rush Squad Building in FC 25 takes the FUT experience to new heights by fostering teamwork and tactical thinking. The 90-second selection process, combined with the need to meet event requirements and avoid duplicates, challenges players to collaborate effectively in assembling their squad. This new mode rewards both individual skill and collective strategy, offering a fresh and engaging way to build teams in Football Ultimate Team™.
Prepare to team up, make quick decisions, and dominate the field with your handpicked squad in the dynamic world of Rush!
