Explained simply
FC 26 is a football video game with a popular game mode called Ultimate Team. Players in this mode collect digital cards featuring real footballers and use them to build virtual teams that compete online.
One way to acquire new player cards is through a challenge system called Squad Building Challenges, or SBCs. In these challenges, players submit their existing cards and virtual currency to receive new cards as rewards. The current challenge allows players to choose one high-rated card (rated 93 to 98 out of 100) from a selection of four possible players.
The cards available through this challenge originally came from special promotional events that ran for limited periods and are no longer available through regular purchases. This gives players another way to get elite-level cards featuring stars like Erling Haaland, Kylian Mbappé and Lionel Messi if they missed the promotional events.
