If the leaks are accurate, Team 3 will likely be the strongest FUTTIES squad before the final Team 4 arrives next week.
Don't Forget PlayStyle Lab
One of FUTTIES' biggest new features is PlayStyle Lab. Every special card for active players can have its PlayStyles customized and upgraded, allowing you to build players that better fit your squad and playstyle. Icons and Heroes, however, keep their preset PlayStyles.
If you're planning to build around Team 3 players, this system makes many cards even more valuable than their ratings suggest.
Complete the Countdown Evolution First
Before Team 3 launches, make sure you've finished the current Countdown Evolution.
This Evolution usually costs around 100,000 Coins and provides significant upgrades, including Overall boosts, new positions, and additional PlayStyle+ traits. Once Team 3 goes live, there's a good chance this Evolution will disappear, so don't leave it unfinished.
Save Coins and Fodder for SBCs
Every FUTTIES release has introduced several high-value SBCs, and Team 3 should follow the same pattern.
Players can expect:
· One premium 97-99 Icon SBC
· Multiple Player Pick SBCs
· Upgrade SBCs featuring 85+ and 88+ packs
· Returning Icon and Hero Doppelgängers SBCs
Instead of spending your fodder today, keep your high-rated cards ready for tomorrow's SBC release.
Keep Your FUTTIES Tokens
The FUTTIES Token Store is also expected to refresh alongside Team 3.
Previous premium Icons have required around 3,000 Tokens, and Team 3's elite Icons could cost even more. Unless you're targeting a remaining Team 2 player, it's better to save your Tokens until the new rewards appear.
What To Do When Team 3 Goes Live
Once the content drops:
· Check the full Team 3 squad before opening saved packs.
· Watch the Transfer Market during the first hour, as prices often fluctuate dramatically.
· Complete the free Objectives first to unlock Player Picks and Tokens.
· Wait for the first wave of Team 3 SBCs before committing your fodder.
Patience during the first few hours usually leads to much better value.
Final Checklist Before Tonight
Before the FUTTIES Team 3 release, try to complete the following:
· Finish the active Countdown Evolution.
· Save at least 500K Coins if possible.
· Keep plenty of 85+ rated fodder.
· Hold around 3,000 FUTTIES Tokens.
· Avoid panic buying players before official content is released.
Final Thoughts
FUTTIES Team 3 looks set to deliver one of the strongest squads in EA FC 26, led by leaked Icons such as Zidane, Cruyff, Beckenbauer, and Gerrard alongside elite active players like Saliba, Barella, Marquinhos, and Olise. With major SBCs, refreshed Objectives, PlayStyle Lab upgrades, and Token Store rewards all expected to arrive, tonight is the ideal time to finish your preparations. If you've been saving your cheap FC 26 Coins, fodder, and Tokens, you'll be in the best position to take advantage of everything Team 3 has to offer once the new content goes live.
