Another FC 25 RTTK tracker upgrades batch is upon us, and Virgil van Dijk is again the big beneficiary – the lofty Dutchman now boasts an equally lofty 93 OVR. The EA FC 25 Road To The Knockouts promo boosts players based on European performances, and others currently celebrating include Diogo Jota, Moise Kean and Cristian Romero. Find out how it works below, before we guide you through the updated FC 25 RTTK tracker.
What is FC 25 Road To The Knockouts (RTTK)?
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 are expected 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 gets a new overall rating of 91, which can jump to 93 if Real Madrid accomplish all possible 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).

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. VVD has 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.
How does the FC 25 RTTK upgrades system work?
