EA Sports has released a new "1 of 4 95+ FOF/FUTTIES T1 Player Pick" Squad Building Challenge (SBC) in EA FC 26's Ultimate Team mode, giving players an easy way to earn high-rated cards as part of their daily routine. The SBC brings back every promo from the Festival of Football (FOF) season but restricts eligible items to those rated 95 or above, and also marks the debut of the first FUTTIES (FUT Ties) team of the year.

The reward pool spans six promo groups: Path to Glory, FOF: Star Performer, Glory Hunters, Phenoms, Summer Stars and FUTTIES Team 1, featuring dozens of top-rated players such as Rodri (99), Laporte (99), Van Dijk (99), Claudia Pina (99), Yamal (98) and Kane (98). While the SBC does not include any Icon cards, it still offers a wide selection of highly rated players for those completing the daily grind.
