FC 26 FUTTIES Guide: Confirmed Players, SBCs & How to Prepare

Published on

in

The FUTTIES Event has now officially taken over EA FC 26, starting on July 24, 2026. The Event has brought back pink card designs and huge stat boosts, as well as the year’s best promo items to packs.

The power curve has reached its absolute peak with Team 2 now being available from July 31, 2026. With now being the perfect time to maximize your squad, complete Squad Building Challenges, and use the infinite menu grind, here’s everything you need to know.

FUTTIES Playstyle Lab Evolution

This year brings a major new feature to the standard FUTTIES players. Standard FUTTIES players that are not heroes or icons come without any base PlayStyles by default. Instead, they come with very high face stats and maximum chemistry.

Players should take the blank slate cards into PlayStyle Lab Evolutions, allowing them to custom build their players with abilities that best match the way they play. They can choose exactly which PlayStyle and PlayStyle+ traits they want to add, so they can play how they want instead of using preset traits. And since the FUTTIES heroes and icons already come with top PlayStyle+ traits, you don’t have to customize them.

Confirmed Players And Rereleased Batches

Currently, it is very easy to get high-rated players in FC 26, as the market and packs are full of them. However, with plenty of special cards being available, normal gold cards have become incredibly rare.
