summary
The FC 26 93+ Festival of Football Player Pick SBC offers a guaranteed 93+ promo player from four choices, featuring expired Festival of Football cards released after June 4. While it provides access to exclusive high-rated players, the reward pool is limited and still heavily luck-based, making it best suited for players with plenty of untradeable fodder rather than those chasing one specific superstar. If you need additional resources to complete the SBC or strengthen your Ultimate Team, many players also choose to buy FC 26 Coins to build a more competitive squad efficiently.
What Is the 93+ Festival of Football Player Pick SBC?
Instead of opening a standard pack, this SBC rewards you with a Player Pick.
After completing the SBC, you will receive:
· 1 of 4 Player Pick
· Guaranteed 93+ Overall Festival of Football player
· Choose one player from four available options
· Reward is untradeable
This immediately gives players more control than a normal pack, but luck still plays a major role.
What's Included in the Rewards Pool?
EA has placed several restrictions on the available players.
Eligible Players
· Festival of Football cards released on or after June 4
· Players rated 93 OVR or higher
· Cards that are no longer available in packs
This makes the SBC one of the few ways to obtain many limited-time Festival of Football cards again.
Not Included
· Festival of Football cards released before June 4
· Any Festival of Football player rated below 93 OVR
· Current pack items
If your favorite promo card came from an earlier release, it will not appear in this Player Pick.
Is the Guaranteed 93+ Rating Actually Good?
A guaranteed 93+ overall sounds impressive, but rating isn't everything.
Keep in mind:
· Not every 93+ Festival of Football card is considered meta.
· Some players have excellent ratings but average in-game performance.
· Your four options may not fit your squad or preferred formation.
Although the minimum quality is high, the outcome still depends heavily on luck.
Has EA Revealed the Full Rewards Pool?
At the time of writing, no complete player list has been officially released.
However, we do know that:
· Higher-rated Festival of Football players released after June 4 can appear.
· Previously expired promo cards are eligible.
· Earlier Festival of Football releases remain excluded.
Is the SBC Worth Completing?
The answer depends on your club and your expectations.
It May Be Worth It If:
· You have plenty of untradeable fodder.
· Your squad needs a high-rated Festival of Football player.
· You're happy with several possible outcomes.
· You enjoy taking calculated SBC risks.
You May Want to Skip It If:
· You're chasing one specific superstar.
· You'll need to buy expensive fodder.
· Your Ultimate Team is already stacked.
· You dislike untradeable rewards.
Remember:
· The reward cannot be sold.
· There is no guarantee you'll receive a top-tier meta player.
Final Verdict
The 93+ Festival of Football Player Pick SBC offers a valuable opportunity to obtain exclusive promo cards that have already left packs.
Pros
· Guaranteed 93+ player
· Four choices instead of one random pack
· Access to expired Festival of Football cards
· Great for using duplicate untradeable fodder
Cons
· Reward is untradeable
· No complete rewards list available
· Some 93+ cards are far less desirable than others
· Still heavily dependent on luck
Bottom Line
If your club is full of unused high-rated fodder and you're looking for a strong Festival of Football addition, this SBC is definitely worth considering. However, if you're only hoping to pack one particular elite player, it's best to keep your expectations realistic. A 1 of 4 Player Pick improves your odds—but in Ultimate Team, luck still has the final say. If you'd rather strengthen your squad more directly instead of relying on luck, many players choose to use cheap FC 26 Coins to complete key SBCs or purchase the players they need from the Transfer Market.
