85s or 86s for the first 89 champions?

do you think 85s will be used for the first 89 champions?  good time to stock up?

I'm gonna guess 86s

Yeah will be 86s. The overall requirements will go up as the Champion overalls go up.

I bet 86s will be needed for 89 ovr sets. 84s are needed for 87s and 85s for 88s. So it makes sense that the minimum requirement would go up as well.

I'm not knowledgeable enough about the market to say if investing in 86s is a good move at the moment. My intuition says it depends on how far off you think 89s are. If 89s are still a few weeks off, 86s could get a bit lower than what they're at now. If you think 89s come out next week, it does make sense to stock up now before EA announces that and people rush to buy them.

the first 88s from campus heroes required 84s, not 85s

Yes, you are correct about that. I still think it's safe to say the sets for 89s will allow you to use 86s. I'm 99% sure of that. But I'm not confident in saying 85s will be used to make the first 89s. There's a chance 85s will be used but I'd put it around 50% and I think that chance decreases the longer 88 is the top ovr. That's why I'd focus on 86s if I were prepping for 89s.
