FC 26 Boosting

FC 26 releases new SBCs, evolutions, or promotions almost daily. To be honest, these events aren't particularly difficult; their real challenge lies in meeting various conditions, which can easily lead to confusion.

However, if you want to continue playing FC 26 and lead your team to more victories, you must constantly complete these annoying events, especially during weekends when even more events are added!

For example, on November 21st, which is this Friday at 6 PM, FC 26 released many events at once, mainly SBCs with various themes, aiming to provide you with a fulfilling weekend.

Based on this, we've compiled a list, mainly introducing how to complete three upgrade-type SBCs.

What Are Upgrade-Type SBCs?

By now, you should understand the basic definition of an SBC: it's about winning new players or card packs by completing various specific challenges. These challenges don't require winning matches, but rather assembling a specific team lineup.

That said, achieving this isn't easy, as it demands a large and diverse player pool, and acquiring enough players requires a significant amount of time to be invested in FC 26.

Generally, the unique aspect of upgrade-type SBCs is the need to fully utilize daily upgrade events to acquire players who meet the challenge requirements and then assemble an 11-man team.

Therefore, if your daily FC 26 participation is insufficient, you'll likely miss out on upgrade-type SBC card pack rewards.

Mixed Leagues Upgrade

As the first upgrade-type SBC available this weekend, this round of Mixed Leagues Upgrade lasts for two weeks. This SBC will continuously host new rounds in FC 26, allowing players to complete challenges using players from specific secondary leagues.

This round of Mixed Leagues Upgrade contains four independent challenges, each requiring you to select 11 players from each of two specific leagues to form a team. The specific requirements are as follows:

Challenge 1. ROSHN Saudi League & Romania SuperLiga:

• Players from the same club：Max 6
• Player quality：Max Silver
• Team Rating: Min 60
• Reward: Small Prime Silver Players Pack

Challenge 2. Serie BKT & Bundesliga 2:

• Players from the same club：Max 2
• Rare players:Min 2
• Team Rating: Min 62
• Reward: Small Electrum Players Pack

Challenge 3. Ligue 2 BKT & LaLiga HyperMotion:

• Players from the same club: Max 2
• Rare players: Min 2
• Team Rating: Min 68
• Reward: Electrum Players Pack

Challenge 4. MLS & EFL Championship:

• Players from the same club: Max 2
• Gold players: Min 2
• Rare players: Min 3
• Team Rating: Min 73
• Reward: Premium Mixed Players Pack

The player reward packs from Challenges 1 and 2 are tradable, meaning you can sell unwanted players on the trading market. However, the player rewards from the latter two challenges are not tradable.

Premium Mixed Leagues Upgrade

This SBC is similar to the first one not only in its nature (highly valuable and repeatable) and duration (two weeks), but also in the nature of the reward card packs, and includes four challenges:

Challenge 1. CONMEBOL Libertadores & CONMEBOL Sudamericana:

• Players from the same club: Max 4
• Rare or Team of the Week (TOTW) players: Min 2
• Team Rating: Min 68
• Reward: Jumbo Gold Pack

Challenge 2. Ligue 1 & Eredivisie:

• Players from the same club: Max 1
• Gold players: Min 2
• Rare or TOTW players: Min 3
• Team Rating: Min 74
• Reward: Prime Electrum Players Pack

Challenge 3. Bundesliga & Serie A:

• Players from the same club: Max 1
• Rare or TOTW players: Min 3
• Team Rating: Min 77
• Reward: Small Prime Gold Players Pack

Challenge 4. Premier League & LaLiga:

• Players from the same club: Max 1
• Rare or TOTW players: Min 4
• Team Rating: Min 79
• Reward: Small Rare Gold Players Pack

As you may have noticed, this SBC allows you to use TOTW players without a specific week restriction. This means it doesn't matter if you haven't acquired TOTW players for this week (Week 10).

82+ TOTW Upgrade

This SBC has a shorter playtime - only one week, but the requirements are relatively simple: add 11 players and ensure your team rating is at least 84.

Upon completion, you will receive an untradeable card pack as a reward. Opening it will grant you any one of TOTW players from Weeks 1-10 with a rating at least 82.

Best Strategies For Completing These SBCs

82+ TOTW Upgrade is quite simple; you could practically assemble a suitable team if you've been playing FIFA 26 consistently for the past two months. However, the first two require a more comprehensive plan.

First, as mentioned at the beginning, you need to ensure a high level of game participation to accumulate usable players for the higher-level SBCs by completing daily Bronze, Silver, and Gold common upgrade SBCs.

Furthermore, when collecting player cards, pay attention to the leagues the players belong to, ensuring they meet the requirements of upgrade SBC you're currently working on.

It's worth noting that completing daily upgrade SBCs allows you to use players from unrelated leagues to generate more cards, creating a self-sustaining cycle.

If you still haven't acquired the missing players by the end of the current SBC, it's time to look at the trading market. However, to conserve coins, it's best to wait and see rather than immediately exchanging.

Finally, the card packs you receive after completing this weekend's (Premium) Mixed Leagues Upgrade SBC will also be helpful for subsequent SBCs. Therefore, don't sell cards unless you get duplicates.

Besides the three upgrade SBCs mentioned above, you can also play Savinho SBC or other daily activities this weekend. It'll be busy, but the rewards will be substantial!

The most anticipated SBC in EA FC 26 right now is 86 OVR Savinho SBC, which expires in a week. Some players consider it a very powerful card, while others think it's not worth the investment.

This SBC requires a large number of coins, so even players interested in it must consider whether 86 OVR Savinho can provide sufficient growth for their team. This requires analyzing the card's stats, playstyle, and in-game performance.

FC Pro Live Savinho SBC Details

FC Pro Live Upgrade

This SBC transforms your Savinho card into an FC Pro Live card, and cards in this series receive upgrades based on the performance of professional players in EA FC esports competitions. Therefore, we also need to consider the performance of its pro player, Guga Ferraz.

After he accumulates a certain number of points in a match, this card will receive attribute boosts. If Guga Ferraz successfully advances to FC Pro Open Knockout stage, the card will receive an additional Playstyle+, which can be chosen from Chip Shot, Press Proven, and Trickster.

GugaFerraz is a very young and talented player, ranked 245th in the world, but he performed exceptionally well in FC Pro Open qualifiers, defeating several excellent players, and his results are quite impressive. Given the format of 4-5 matches per night, it's quite possible for Guga Ferraz to accumulate 10 points and allow Savinho to achieve an OVR+1 upgrade.

FC Pro Upgrade:

• Earn 3 points: +1 SM/WF
• Earn 10 points: +1 OVR
• Earn 16 points: +1 OVR
• Qualify to knockout round: +1 Playstyle+, +1 OVR
• Finish Top 4 in FC Pro: +1 Alt Position, +1 Role++
• Win FC open: +1 OVR +1 SM/WF

86 OVR Savinho RW++, LM/RM

• Pac: 91
• Sho: 83
• Pas: 85
• Dri: 88
• Def: 35
• Phy: 62
• Skills: 4
• Weak Foot: 3
• Playstyle: Technical++, Whipped Pass, Inventive, First Touch, Quick Step

Statistically, Savinho's dribbling is good, his passing is decent, and his shooting and speed are both at the level of an excellent right winger. Best suited for RW and RM, facilitating inside cuts and shots.

However, he severely lacks Playstyle + for shooting and passing. He lacks key styles like Trickster and Finesse Shot. His passing styles are limited to Whipped Pass and Inventive; meta passing styles like Tiki Taka, Pinged Pass, or Incisive Pass are absent.

Therefore, Finisher chemistry style is recommended to boost shooting and balance instead of using a Physical-focused option.

In-game Performance

This card offers a significant boost to burst acceleration, excellent left stick control and ball speed, and smooth movements, allowing for easy dribbling past opponents. Since he is left-footed, using a left-foot Finesse Shot inside the box produces a decent scoring rate.

This card's most obvious weakness is passing. Although its base passing stats are decent, the lack of crucial passing playstyles leads to a high error rate in first-time passes and quick give and go, making it very inconsistent. As for shooting, while it can score a Finesse Shot, it's not consistent, and its 3-star weak foot shooting ability is mediocre.

The consumption of these four SBC segments is approximately 192,000 FC 26 coins. As long as you don't gamble recklessly in the transfer market, you should have enough coins. However, Showdown cards for Gabriel Martinelli and Kolo Muani also have considerable potential and require fewer coins than this SBC.

The card is top-notch in ball carrying and speed, but its passing and shooting consistency is a major weakness. Future attribute upgrades and Playstyle+ option might make it much better, but this won't happen until January and is uncertain.

Overall, it's not recommended for players with few Fodder cards because its cost-effectiveness is low. It's advisable to save resources for the upcoming Thunderstruck and Black Friday events. If you're a Manchester City fan, or believe Guga Ferraz will perform well and upgrade his cards, then SBC is a good option.
