Key Tips for Different Types of Players

Free-to-Play Team

Prioritize McKennie's evolution chain.

It's the lowest cost, has no weaknesses in any attribute, and can be used directly in midfield until the FC27 release, maximizing cost-effectiveness.

Winger Climbers

Prioritize Garnacho's evolution.

A winger with 99 speed and 98 dribbling, he's the current meta's answer for wing breakthroughs, doubling your ranking efficiency.

Card Hoarders / Relaxed Players

Immediately team up to complete the three Intercontinental Cup missions.

Save the high-rated card packs for when FUTTIES' popular SBCs are released; there's a high chance of getting a rare limited-edition card.

Managing your club budget and having enough FC 26 Coins available can also help you prepare for future SBC investments and market opportunities.

Casual / Laid-Back Teams

Don't grind solo.

Find a friend to co-op with.

You can clear the entire cup progress within an afternoon and easily get the prerequisite experience for Dalglish's Legend.
