This is our first look at FC Points, the currency used in EA Sports FC. It is a short list. Six sellers quote on five pack sizes, and the lowest and highest price for every pack is the same in all 50 countries MangoRecharge lists. There is no country-specific price here, so the figures below hold wherever you are reading from. Two things matter more than location: which platform a listing is for, and how much you lose per point by buying small.
FC Points prices by pack (Xbox)
| Pack | Cheapest | Seller | Xbox sellers quoting | Dearest | Spread | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | 1,050 | $9.29 | SEAGM | 5 | $10.91 | 17% | | 2,800 | $22.13 | Instant Gaming | 5 | $26.52 | 20% | | 5,900 | $42.65 | Instant Gaming | 5 | $56.18 | 32% | | 12,000 | $84.23 | Instant Gaming | 5 | $109.25 | 30% | | 18,500 | $128.03 | SEAGM | 3 | $144.75 | 13% |
Spread is the gap between the lowest and highest Xbox quote for a pack. Some sellers list in euros or Indian rupees, and the dollar figure is a conversion. Instant Gaming's 5,900 pack, for example, is listed at 39.49 EUR, which comes to $42.65.
SEAGM, labelled an established reseller on MangoRecharge, has the lowest Xbox price on 1,050 and 18,500. Instant Gaming, labelled a third-party seller, has the lowest on 2,800, 5,900 and 12,000. SEAGM is the only seller quoting on all five Xbox packs, and where it is not cheapest it is second: $1.11 above Instant Gaming on 2,800, $3.84 above on 5,900 and $2.00 above on 12,000. Eneba, Driffle and Loaded, also third-party sellers, sit further up on every pack, with Loaded the dearest on each of the first four.
One listing is not for Xbox
Every row on this list is an Xbox FC Points listing except Kinguin's. Kinguin's three rows are labelled "FC Points (FC 26, EA App)", which is a PC code for the EA App, tied to the FC 26 edition. It is not the same product as the Xbox listings, so we have kept it out of the table above.
| Pack | Kinguin (EA App) | Cheapest Xbox | Difference | |---|---|---|---| | 2,800 | $22.00 | $22.13 | $0.13 lower | | 5,900 | $48.83 | $42.65 | $6.18 higher | | 12,000 | $92.37 | $84.23 | $8.14 higher |
Kinguin's $22.00 is technically the lowest 2,800 figure on the list, but only by 13 cents, and only if you play on PC through the EA App and on that edition. On the two larger packs it is well above the cheapest Xbox price. Points bought for one platform or edition will not carry over to another, so a lower number on the wrong listing saves you nothing.
Bigger packs cost less per point
| Pack | Cost per 1,000 points | Change from previous pack | |---|---|---| | 1,050 | $8.85 | — | | 2,800 | $7.90 | -10.7% | | 5,900 | $7.23 | -8.5% | | 12,000 | $7.02 | -2.9% | | 18,500 | $6.92 | -1.4% |
These use the cheapest Xbox quote for each pack. The curve falls at every step, which is not always true on top-up lists, but the savings shrink fast. Moving from 1,050 to 2,800 cuts the cost per point by 10.7%, and 2,800 to 5,900 cuts it another 8.5%. After that the steps are small: 2.9% from 5,900 to 12,000 and 1.4% from 12,000 to 18,500. From the smallest pack to the largest, cost per point drops 21.8%.
In plain terms, most of the saving is already captured at 5,900. Going all the way to 18,500 saves only about 31 cents per 1,000 points on top of that.
Do smaller packs combined ever win?
We tested the obvious combinations against single packs, using the cheapest Xbox price for each. Combining packs means separate purchases, and when the lowest prices come from different sellers, separate orders on different sites.
2,800 beats stacking 1,050. Three 1,050 packs give 3,150 points for 3 x $9.29 = $27.87, which is $5.74 more than the $22.13 pack. Two 1,050 packs give 2,100 points for $18.58, so only buy that way if you truly need 2,100 or fewer.
5,900 beats two 2,800 packs. Two 2,800 packs give 5,600 points for $44.26. The 5,900 pack gives 300 more points for $1.61 less.
12,000 beats two 5,900 packs. Two 5,900 packs give 11,800 points for $85.30. The 12,000 pack gives 200 more points for $1.07 less.
18,500 is close against 12,000 plus 5,900. That pair gives 17,900 points for $84.23 + $42.65 = $126.88, which is $1.15 less than SEAGM's $128.03, but also 600 points fewer. Per 1,000 points the pair works out to $7.09, against $6.92 for the single pack. Adding a 1,050 pack to reach the total gives 18,950 points for $136.17, which is $8.14 more than the single pack. If you want 18,500 or more, the single SEAGM pack is the better buy.
Only three sellers on 18,500
The largest pack has the thinnest field: SEAGM at $128.03, Eneba at $144.33 and Driffle at $144.75. SEAGM is $16.30 below Eneba. The two dearer quotes are poor value by any measure. Eneba's $144.33 works out to about $7.80 per 1,000 points, more than Instant Gaming charges per point on the smaller 5,900 and 12,000 packs. Even 12,000 + 5,900 + 1,050 from the cheapest sellers, at $136.17 for 18,950 points, comes in $8.16 under Eneba's 18,500 pack while giving you 450 more points. With only three quotes, there is little to measure SEAGM's price against, so check the final total before you commit.
Checks before you pay
- Confirm the platform. Every listing in our main table is for Xbox. Kinguin's rows are an EA App product for PC.
- Confirm the game edition. A listing labelled for one FC edition may not work with another, so match it to the game you play.
- Match the point count on the seller's page to the pack you compared, especially if you are combining packs.
- Never share your password. If a listing asks for your account password, leave and buy elsewhere.
- Compare the final amount at checkout with the listed figure. Prices in euros or rupees may move a little once converted by your card.
- On 18,500, remember only three sellers quote, and two of them are far above the third.
Choosing your pack
Work out how many FC Points you want, pick the right platform and edition, then check whether one larger pack covers it for less. On this list it usually does, and the 5,900 pack is where most of the per-point saving has already landed. These figures are a snapshot at the time of writing, and sellers change prices without notice. To see sellers and packs side by side, compare FC Points prices before you commit to an order.
