All FC 26 1 of 4 95+ FOF/FUTTIES T1-T3 Player Pick SBC rewards
FC 26's "1 of 4 95+ FOF/FUTTIES T1-T3" Player Pick SBC gives Ultimate Team players a useful outlet for spare fodder in the endgame grind, letting them choose one high-rated card from a selection tied to several past promos. It cannot be completed repeatedly, but it still represents good value, and the pool has just been refreshed with the addition of FUTTIES Team 3, which brings in a handful of new 98- and 99-rated items.
The SBC only includes cards rated 95 or above, drawn from seven promo categories: Path to Glory, FOF: Star Performer, Glory Hunters, Phenoms, Summer Stars, FUTTIES Team 1/2 and now FUTTIES Team 3. Notable inclusions span ratings from 95 up to 99, with top picks featuring the likes of Rodri, Laporte, Van Dijk and Claudia Pina at 99, alongside a wide range of 96-98 rated stars such as Haaland, Messi, Mbappe, Bellingham and Salah, giving players a broad, high-value choice depending on which cards they own the fodder for.
In short
- FC 26's Player Pick SBC offers a choice of 95+ rated cards
- FUTTIES Team 3 adds new 98- and 99-rated options to the pool
- SBC can't be repeated endlessly but offers strong value
Explained simply
EA Sports FC Ultimate Team is a mode where players build squads from collectible football cards. Squad Building Challenges, or SBCs, let players trade cards from their club to meet set requirements and earn a reward; high-rated spare cards are often called “fodder”.
“Player Pick” rewards offer a choice from several cards, while “promo” cards are special versions released for themed events. This challenge draws from a selection of past promos and sets a minimum rating, so the reward is a choice of highly rated players rather than a random card from the full game.
These challenges matter to players looking to strengthen their squads late in the game cycle, when many have accumulated cards they do not use. The value depends on which options appear and what a player gives up to complete the challenge.
