CURRENT NOTABLE SQUAD BUILDING CHALLENGES (SBC) IN FC 26

SBCs are the key to cheap squad upgrades, and this week we have some interesting options. Here are the current notable squad building challenges:

Ronaldinho sbc: The Brazilian player card in SBC is a great opportunity to play with your childhood idol on the virtual pitch. It may not be an outstanding card on paper, but with this overall rating, it will certainly fit into the evolution soon, and it also has its own unique body type. The price for such a card is not overly high either. The cheapest solutions are around 840k FC 26 Coins for the entire set of challenges.
Dybala sbc: A very good card for the CAM position with great stats and playstyle+. Another special card for the Argentine player, but this time in SBC. It will work well both in its nominal position and in the ST position. At this price, it will be an excellent choice for many line-ups. The cheapest solutions are around 128k FC 26 Coins for the entire challenge group.
87+ Base or Thunderstruck Icon Upgrade: An interesting SBC to test your luck. The pool includes many excellent basic icon cards as well as cards from the Thunderstruck event. A very well-priced challenge that can greatly upgrade your squad. The cheapest solutions are around 232k FC 26 Coins for the entire group of challenges.

Keep in mind that if you find a given SBC too difficult to complete on your own or simply don't have the time, you can use our service to complete SBCs for you. Details can be found at this link: https://supercoinsy.com/uk/buy-sbc.

CURRENT NOTABLE EVOLUTIONS IN EA FC 26 ULTIMATE TEAM

Evolutions are a card upgrade system in FC 26 (it works similarly to FC 25). This week, we have the following interesting evolutions available:

Frostbite Finisher: Paid evolution for 75k FC Coins or 750 Fifa points. It will allow you to greatly improve your striker's stats and add playstyle+ low driven shot. The maximum overall rating is 86. In our opinion, the best choices are: Simons (Primetime), Openda, Nkunku (Thunderstruck). Details can be found here.

Chilling Wingback: Paid evolution for 40k FC Coins or 400 Fifa points. It will allow you to improve your LB defensive stats and add playstyle+ jockey. The maximum overall rating is 86. In our opinion, the best choices are: Savona (Inform), Berchiche, Ryerson. Details can be found here.

Keep in mind that Evolutions are essentially a free way to boost a player in Ultimate Team 26, but there are also paid versions. So if you need additional FC 26 Coins, visit our store at this link: https://supercoinsy.com/uk/fc26-coins.

WHAT TO DO THIS WEEK IN UT 26?

Let's take a look at the most interesting things that have been added to the game this week:

Daily sbc: First and foremost, try to log into the game or Web App every day to complete challenges that refresh daily. These include various picks and daily upgrades. This is an excellent way to obtain highly rated cards at a low cost.
Ronaldinho sbc: If you were a fan of the Brazilian player, this is a great challenge to enjoy the game again. It has been a long time since there was such a well-priced challenge for such a prestigious card as Ronaldinho. Currently, highly rated non-exchangeable cards are very easy to obtain, which should only make it easier for you to complete this challenge.
Alexander Isak sbc: A very good Swedish player card in SBC, at a very low price. If you are just starting your adventure with UT, or need a striker for your squad, pay attention to this challenge. The cheapest solutions are around 100k FC 26 Coins for the entire group of challenges.

WHAT NOT TO DO THIS WEEK IN UT 26?

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

1 of 3 Base Icon Player Pick: A very highly priced challenge with a pick icon of 1 out of 3. The challenge itself has a very interesting pool of cards, but in our opinion it is terribly overpriced for the cards you can get in it. The cheapest solutions are around 412k FC 26 Coins for the entire group of challenges.
Kudus sbc: The Winter Wildcards special card in SBC, but exceptionally highly priced for what it offers. It does not stand out in any interesting way from other cards available on the market at this price. The cheapest solutions are around 227k FC 26 Coins for the entire set of challenges. You can find many cheaper and better solutions for this position.
87+ Base Icon Upgrade: Another icon challenge available as part of the SBC. Priced exactly the same as the challenge in which we also have to drop thunderstruck icons. We do not recommend doing this challenge, as the card pool is weaker and the challenge is priced exactly the same.

WHICH PLAYER CARDS ARE WORTH NOTING?

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

Valverde (90 CM - Winter Wildcards): Currently one of the best cards available in the ŚP position. Very good playstyles, excellent statistics on the card, and the silhouette itself make this an absolutely top-notch card.

Ronaldinho (94 LW - Winter Wildcards): Although we have a special Ronaldinho card in SBC, he also received a card available in packs. This is the first card with two available playstyles+ on the card. The best left midfielder in the entire game.

Gabriel (89 CB - Winter Wildcards): An interesting card in the CB position, with a very good playstyles and playstyle+. Good stats on the card and his body type make Gabriel Winter Wildcards version one of the best CB available in the entire game.
