WHAT TO DO THIS WEEK IN UT 26?

This week, the priority is to upgrade your squad, and here are our recommendations:

Upgrade your squad with sbc players: This week, we have received many interesting players in SBC. If any of them fit your squad, or if you are missing a player in an offensive position, complete one of the newly added SBCs.
Do Marquee Matchups and Foundations SBCs: Complete these SBCs because they are inexpensive and guarantee exchangeable rewards. Collect the packs and see if you get something good. It's an easy way to earn coins!
Check out the live events: Here you will find information about current tournaments and other events currently available in the game. It is an easy way to earn rewards such as packs and special cards.
Renember about Champions and Rivals: Once your team is ready, remember to play Champions and Rivals, as these are the best ways to earn coins thanks to the rewards from these game modes!

This week is the best time to upgrade your Ultimate Team 26 squad. So make the most of it!

WHAT NOT TO DO THIS WEEK IN UT 26?

Your priority should be to manage your budget wisely. In our opinion, you should avoid that things:

Pulisic POTM sbc: The Milan player card does not offer the quality that its price suggests. Unless you are a fan of Milan or the player himself, we recommend avoiding this SBC as it is very bad priced.
Base hero matchday pick: None of the players available in this challenge stand out in any particular way, and they will not be a significant boost to your squad. We strongly recommend that you look into other challenges instead.
Don't wait with player buys: Cards on the market continue to fall in price, so don't delay in upgrading your team and buy the players you need for your squad.

WHICH PLAYER CARDS ARE WORTH NOTING?

Among the current cards available on the market, the following stand out:

Vini Jr. (90 LW - Inform): A card for Brazilian player is one of the best choices for the left wing position in the entire game. An incredible card with incredible stats!

Julian Alvarez (88 ST - Ratings Reload): An excellent striker with a very good playstyle and statistics, an absolutely top-notch card.

Son (88 LW - Ratings Reload): A striker who stands out with his excellent shots, good pace and playstyle. A very meta card, the only problem may be fitting him into the squad.

All of the cards mentioned are worth your attention as they represent the current meta of the game.
