summary
futties is set to become FC 26's biggest endgame promotion, featuring elite special cards, customizable PlayStyles, and a 99-rated Spain squad. By saving packs, completing upgrade SBCs, spending tokens wisely, and deciding when to buy FC 26 Coins to strengthen your club or complete key SBCs, players can maximize their chances of building a top-tier Ultimate Team before FC 27 arrives.
What Is futties?
The futties promotion is traditionally the final major Ultimate Team event before the next FC title launches. Unlike performance-based promotions, futties celebrates players who became fan favorites throughout the game's lifecycle.
Leaked information suggests the first futties squad could include:
· Virgil van Dijk
· Federico Valverde
· Luis Díaz
· Kyle Walker
· Paul Pogba
· Xavi Simons
· Shaqiri
· Additional community-favorite players
The event is also expected to feature multiple teams over the final weeks of FC 26, giving players plenty of opportunities to improve their squads before FC 27 arrives.
Heroes and Icons Are Expected to Shine
Several premium Heroes and Icons have reportedly leaked ahead of the promotion.
Possible Icons include:
· Ronaldinho
· Zlatan Ibrahimović
· Diego Maradona
Possible Heroes include:
· David Ginola
· Marek Hamšík
· Gilberto Silva
Although ratings remain unofficial, these cards are expected to become some of the strongest options available during the endgame.
Customizable PlayStyles Could Be the Biggest Feature
One of the most exciting rumors involves customizable PlayStyles Plus.
Current leaks show several objective cards without assigned PlayStyles, suggesting EA may allow players to customize them.
Possible improvements include:
· More PlayStyles Plus than current limits.
· Greater flexibility for objective rewards.
· More competitive free cards.
· Better customization options for different playstyles.
Meanwhile, Heroes and Icons are expected to launch with fixed PlayStyle combinations already attached.
Don't Ignore the 99-Rated Spain Squad
Alongside futties, FC 26 is also releasing an incredible Spain-themed squad.
Expected highlights include:
· 99 Lamine Yamal
· 99 Rodri
· 99 Pedri
· 99 Dani Olmo
· 99 Alex Baena
· 99-rated goalkeeper SBC
Many of these players already have special versions, but their newest cards are expected to feature stronger PlayStyle combinations that make them clear upgrades.
Complete SBCs Before Opening Packs
Preparation is the key to maximizing futties rewards.
Before opening saved packs:
· Complete repeatable upgrade SBCs.
· Recycle duplicate players.
· Build a large stockpile of unopened rewards.
· Wait until the new team officially enters packs.
Recommended upgrades include:
· 85+ Upgrade Packs
· 84+ Player Picks
· 83+ Player Picks
· Repeatable high-rated upgrade SBCs
If daily repeat limits refresh later in the day:
· Complete all available attempts before the reset.
· Complete them again after the refresh.
· Save every reward until the promotion begins.
This strategy gives you far more opportunities to pack futties players.
Spend Seasonal Tokens Wisely
If you still have seasonal tokens available, avoid rushing into cosmetic rewards.
Instead, prioritize:
· High-value packs
· Player Pick rewards
· Guaranteed high-rated packs
· Rewards that increase your total pack count
If you're close to another major reward, completing a few additional SBCs may provide much better overall value.
Think Carefully Before Completing Expensive SBCs
Not every premium SBC is worth completing during the final weeks of FC 26.
Before spending large amounts of fodder, ask yourself:
· Does this player improve my starting lineup?
· Are the PlayStyles actually useful?
· Will a stronger futties card likely replace them soon?
Saving your resources now could allow you to complete even better SBCs later in the promotion.
Keep Watching FC 27 News
EA is also beginning to reveal information about FC 27.
Current reports suggest several editions may include:
· Early Access
· Premium Pass rewards
· FC Points
· Ultimate Team bonuses
· Additional preorder content
While many details remain unofficial, official announcements are expected soon.
Final Tips
To prepare for futties as efficiently as possible:
· Save all valuable packs.
· Complete as many upgrade SBCs as possible.
· Open packs only after the new team enters packs.
· Spend seasonal tokens on high-value rewards.
· Avoid unnecessary expensive SBCs.
· Watch for official FC 27 announcements.
Following these steps will maximize your chances of packing elite futties players while putting your club in the strongest possible position for the final weeks of FC 26 Ultimate Team. If you still need additional resources to complete SBCs or strengthen your squad, cheap FC 26 Coins can also help accelerate your progress during the futties promotion.
