Other Notable Mechanics

During FUT 26 Winter Wildcards event, the game is expected to release limited-time SBCs daily. Completing these challenges will reward you with card packs containing new players.

To complete all SBCs on time, you'll need to acquire enough players that meet the challenge requirements by participating in Ultimate Team modes or trading on the transfer market. This requires a high level of skill and time commitment.

Some Winter Wildcards players are expected to receive two different versions of their player cards, with different attributes and positions, allowing for more flexible squad arrangements and making it easier to complete SBCs.

Additionally, Icons and Heroes players will receive Baby and Prime versions. These cards will focus on improving chemistry and overall stats, significantly boosting your team's strength upon acquisition.

That's all the information for now. With only one day left until the official release of Winter Wildcards promo, you should now be preparing more points and coins to welcome the new players!

Not only FC 26, but many previous FC games have released new Team of the Week (TOTW) squads weekly after release, giving you the opportunity to continuously upgrade your club roster and always have the strongest players.

Only players who have performed exceptionally well in real-world leagues over the past week can be selected for TOTW, and the game releases a Best of TOTW squad once a certain number of TOTW squads have been accumulated.

For example, this year's EA FC 26 Best of TOTW compiled a list of the best squads based on the squads from the previous ten weeks, and it was released during TOTW 11 and Black Friday Thunderstruck campaign.

Based on this, we will introduce the ultimate FUT 26 TOTW 11 and this year's Best of TOTW squads, as well as strategies for obtaining these cards.

FC 26 TOTW 11

This lineup was added to Ultimate Team Pack at 6 PM on November 26th. You have a chance to obtain them by redeeming packs or playing the game until the release of TOTW 12 next Wednesday.

How To Get New Or Returning TOTW Players?

Time is limited, but there are many players to acquire, so FC 26 offers several ways to obtain TOTW players, which we will list for you one by one.

Trading In The Transfer Market

This is probably the simplest and most direct method. Simply consume coins to instantly find player cards that others are selling but that you happen to lack by filtering for specific players or player positions.

However, if you don't play many matches or have a low win rate, resulting in insufficient coins, it's best to get FC 26 coins for sale as soon as possible and trade to redeem your desired players in time to avoid missing out.

Obtaining And Opening Packs

Once TOTW 11 and Best of TOTW lineups are activated, they will be added to all gold card packs in the game. In addition, special promotional card packs released by FC 26 during Black Friday will also contain TOTW players, with a higher drop rate.

We generally recommend checking the pack drop rates displayed in the shop before farming for packs to plan your farming strategy more effectively. As for how to obtain FIFA 26 packs, the main methods currently include:

• Earning packs with coins or in-game credits.
• Completing daily, weekly, and season objectives, as well as specific milestone challenges.
• Leveling up Season Progression to unlock pack rewards at different tiers.
• Playing Division Rivals and Squad Battles for ranking rewards.
• Participating in weekend leagues and achieving specific rankings.
• Completing available SBCs.
• Participating in Moments mode to earn stars and redeem them for packs.

It‘s worth noting that other events launching on November 26th alongside TOTW 11 and Best of TOTW include rewards that can earn you packs, such as the new SBC Pre-Black Friday Challenge 1.

This SBC will last for 3 days, and completing the following related challenges will reward you with a non-tradable Prime Gold Players Pack:

• Player Nationality: At least 3 different nationalities.
• Players from the same league: Up to 5 players from the same league.
• Players from the same club: At least 4 players from the same club.
• Player rarity: Minimum Gold quality.
• Player OVR: Minimum 80.
• Team chemistry: Minimum 31.
• Squad size: Exactly 11 players.

More Black Friday deals will be available next week, making this the perfect time to complete all new SBCs to earn packs and unlock more TOTW players!

It's worth mentioning that IGGM Black Friday sale also started on November 26th at 08:00 UTC! You can win shopping discounts or coupons every day until the same time on the 30th!

That's all for this time. Hopefully, you can fully utilize in-game events to further expand your FC 26 squad before 2026 arrives! Have fun!

FC 26 releases new SBCs, evolutions, or promotions almost daily. To be honest, these events aren't particularly difficult; their real challenge lies in meeting various conditions, which can easily lead to confusion.

However, if you want to continue playing FC 26 and lead your team to more victories, you must constantly complete these annoying events, especially during weekends when even more events are added!

For example, on November 21st, which is this Friday at 6 PM, FC 26 released many events at once, mainly SBCs with various themes, aiming to provide you with a fulfilling weekend.

Based on this, we've compiled a list, mainly introducing how to complete three upgrade-type SBCs.

What Are Upgrade-Type SBCs?

By now, you should understand the basic definition of an SBC: it's about winning new players or card packs by completing various specific challenges. These challenges don't require winning matches, but rather assembling a specific team lineup.

That said, achieving this isn't easy, as it demands a large and diverse player pool, and acquiring enough players requires a significant amount of time to be invested in FC 26.

Generally, the unique aspect of upgrade-type SBCs is the need to fully utilize daily upgrade events to acquire players who meet the challenge requirements and then assemble an 11-man team.

Therefore, if your daily FC 26 participation is insufficient, you'll likely miss out on upgrade-type SBC card pack rewards.

Mixed Leagues Upgrade

As the first upgrade-type SBC available this weekend, this round of Mixed Leagues Upgrade lasts for two weeks. This SBC will continuously host new rounds in FC 26, allowing players to complete challenges using players from specific secondary leagues.

This round of Mixed Leagues Upgrade contains four independent challenges, each requiring you to select 11 players from each of two specific leagues to form a team. The specific requirements are as follows:

Challenge 1. ROSHN Saudi League & Romania SuperLiga:

• Players from the same club：Max 6
• Player quality：Max Silver
• Team Rating: Min 60
• Reward: Small Prime Silver Players Pack

Challenge 2. Serie BKT & Bundesliga 2:

• Players from the same club：Max 2
• Rare players:Min 2
• Team Rating: Min 62
• Reward: Small Electrum Players Pack

Challenge 3. Ligue 2 BKT & LaLiga HyperMotion:

• Players from the same club: Max 2
• Rare players: Min 2
• Team Rating: Min 68
• Reward: Electrum Players Pack

Challenge 4. MLS & EFL Championship:

• Players from the same club: Max 2
• Gold players: Min 2
• Rare players: Min 3
• Team Rating: Min 73
• Reward: Premium Mixed Players Pack

The player reward packs from Challenges 1 and 2 are tradable, meaning you can sell unwanted players on the trading market. However, the player rewards from the latter two challenges are not tradable.

Premium Mixed Leagues Upgrade

This SBC is similar to the first one not only in its nature (highly valuable and repeatable) and duration (two weeks), but also in the nature of the reward card packs, and includes four challenges:

Challenge 1. CONMEBOL Libertadores & CONMEBOL Sudamericana:

• Players from the same club: Max 4
• Rare or Team of the Week (TOTW) players: Min 2
• Team Rating: Min 68
• Reward: Jumbo Gold Pack

Challenge 2. Ligue 1 & Eredivisie:

• Players from the same club: Max 1
• Gold players: Min 2
• Rare or TOTW players: Min 3
• Team Rating: Min 74
• Reward: Prime Electrum Players Pack

Challenge 3. Bundesliga & Serie A:

• Players from the same club: Max 1
• Rare or TOTW players: Min 3
• Team Rating: Min 77
• Reward: Small Prime Gold Players Pack

Challenge 4. Premier League & LaLiga:

• Players from the same club: Max 1
• Rare or TOTW players: Min 4
• Team Rating: Min 79
• Reward: Small Rare Gold Players Pack

As you may have noticed, this SBC allows you to use TOTW players without a specific week restriction. This means it doesn't matter if you haven't acquired TOTW players for this week (Week 10).

82+ TOTW Upgrade

This SBC has a shorter playtime - only one week, but the requirements are relatively simple: add 11 players and ensure your team rating is at least 84.

Upon completion, you will receive an untradeable card pack as a reward. Opening it will grant you any one of TOTW players from Weeks 1-10 with a rating at least 82.

Best Strategies For Completing These SBCs

82+ TOTW Upgrade is quite simple; you could practically assemble a suitable team if you've been playing FIFA 26 consistently for the past two months. However, the first two require a more comprehensive plan.

First, as mentioned at the beginning, you need to ensure a high level of game participation to accumulate usable players for the higher-level SBCs by completing daily Bronze, Silver, and Gold common upgrade SBCs.

Furthermore, when collecting player cards, pay attention to the leagues the players belong to, ensuring they meet the requirements of upgrade SBC you're currently working on.

It's worth noting that completing daily upgrade SBCs allows you to use players from unrelated leagues to generate more cards, creating a self-sustaining cycle.

If you still haven't acquired the missing players by the end of the current SBC, it's time to look at the trading market. However, to conserve coins, it's best to wait and see rather than immediately exchanging.

Finally, the card packs you receive after completing this weekend's (Premium) Mixed Leagues Upgrade SBC will also be helpful for subsequent SBCs. Therefore, don't sell cards unless you get duplicates.

Besides the three upgrade SBCs mentioned above, you can also play Savinho SBC or other daily activities this weekend. It'll be busy, but the rewards will be substantial!

While FIFA boasts a vast inventory of player cards based on real-world players, if these cards remained unchanged, you'd eventually lose interest, especially since the players' real-world performance is constantly evolving.

Therefore, from the inception of the evolution mechanism to the current FC 26, the development team has consistently strived to provide players with more opportunities to improve their attributes through this system.

This time, we'll introduce FUT 26 Wing Wizards Evolution. How does this evolution work, and which players should take advantage of this upgrade opportunity? We'll explain.

Evolution Mechanism Overview

This mechanism allows you to permanently upgrade players who meet the evolution requirements by completing specific challenges or objectives. These players typically have a low to medium OVR, and their positions vary depending on the evolution event.

As a mechanism inherited from previous versions of the game, evolution events are the core of building and strengthening your team in FUT 26, giving you the opportunity to customize and improve weaker players, increasing your win rate without acquiring new players.

Wing Wizards Evolution Schedule

This evolution event will run for 21 days, has started on November 9th, 2025. This ample duration means you'll have plenty of time to carefully select players without interfering with other FC 26 events.

How Does This Event Work?

Wing Wizards Evolution belongs to Ultimate Team mode and aims to provide opportunities to improve your low-rated wingers. PlayStyles, base attributes, and OVR can all be improved, so don't miss out!

To unlock this evolution, you need 20,000 FC 26 coins. If you don't have enough, you can consume 300 FC points. To participate, the player must be a right winger and meet the following conditions:

• OVR cannot exceed 79
• PlayStyles maximum 10
• Cannot be a World Tour Silver Superstars Icon player

Based on this, player evolutions are generally divided into two types. One type is the evolution at various levels obtained through leveling up after unlocking, and the other type requires you to complete relevant challenges with that player.

Level 1 upgrades:

• RW Inside Forward++
• Reactions +6 (Max 89)
• Shooting +7 (Max 85)
• Agility +10 (Max 88)

Level 2 upgrades:

• Reactions +6 (Max 89)
• Passing +10 (Max 86)
• Stamina +10 (Max 90)
• Balance +10 (Max 87)
• Dribbling +10 (Max 86)

Level 3 upgrades:

• Skill moves +2 star
• Weak Foot +1 star
• RW Winger+
• Press Proven PlayStyle
• Quickstep PlayStyle

Level 4 upgrades:

• RW Wide Playmaker+
• Tiki Taka PlayStyle
• Pace +10 (Max 90)
• Composure +10 (Max 87)
• Ball control +10 (Max 86)

All challenge requirements are as follows:

• Challenge 1: Win two matches in Squad Battles/Rush/Rivals/Champions/Live Events on minimum Semi Pro difficulty using your active player.
• Challenge 2: Play three matches in Squad Battles/Rush/Rivals/Champions/Live Events on minimum Semi Pro difficulty using your active player.
• Challenge 3: Play three matches in Squad Battles/Rush/Rivals/Champions/Live Events on minimum Semi Pro difficulty using your active player.
• Challenge 4: Win three matches in Squad Battles/Rush/Rivals/Champions/Live Events on minimum Semi Pro difficulty using your active player.

Which Players Should You Choose For This Evolution?

The first player we recommend is Adama Traoré. His strength lies in his high speed, with a rating of 96 and a current OVR of 76, meeting the requirements for Wing Wizards Evolution.

You can expect to redeem about four attribute boosts for him, such as two quick steps, basic pressure, and weak foot, and possibly even a five-star skill. Whether you can acquire a new PlayStyle depends on how many you already have (maximum 5).

Nevertheless, these attribute boosts are enough to make Adama a more valuable asset in FC 26 future matches. He will increase the team's scoring chances with his increased speed and attacking power.

Daizen Maeda's OVR is 79, just barely passing. His base attributes are also heavily reliant on speed, with other aspects like dribbling, shooting, and physical attributes also performing well.

If you evolve him, he should have the potential to become a new all-rounder, capable of handling different situations well and stabilizing your team's performance.

However, this player is unique in that previous evolution events also suited him well. So, if you've already evolved Daizen, you can choose OVR 76 Daniel James or other similar players as a replacement.

While Francisco Conceição's shooting ability is slightly lacking, he's still worth evolving considering his overall performance. Donyell Malen is also a good choice; his playing style is very solid, and he will become even more reliable after evolution.

As for Diogo Martins, his goals are spectacular, and his OVR is projected to reach 86 after evolution. While this isn't an exceptionally high number, it's quite good for the player's existing overall abilities. If you already have him, don't hesitate to upgrade him.

More player options and their OVR as follows:

• Maximilian Beier: 79
• Brennan Johnson: 79
• Amad Diallo: 79
• Ismaila Sarr: 79
• Estevao: 78
• Kuhn: 78
• Geny Catamo: 78
• Elena Julve: 78
• Yankuba Minteh: 77
• Endrick: 77
• Franco Mastantuono: 77

While the overall evolution potential of Wing Wizards Evolution is expected to be difficult to realize in the future, it's at least helpful for players who excel at curved shots and are suited for the later stages of the season.

Special Strategies

Besides choosing different players to evolve, you can also choose an evolution chain strategy. This strategy allows you to apply multiple evolutions to the same player to maximize their attributes and OVR.

However, considering that almost every evolution requires a certain OVR, this strategy requires you to find potential players and plan carefully from the very first season of the game. Therefore, it's more suitable for experienced players with sufficient patience.

That concludes this introduction. If you have a suitable winger in your card pool and enough points or coins, get started!

As everyone knows, mastering passing skills is crucial in EA FC 26, helping you maintain possession, create scoring opportunities, and control the tempo of the game. Effective passing can even allow you to exploit space to break down the opponent's defense and create scoring opportunities for your teammates through precise through balls and lofted through passes.

Accurate passing is key for every professional player to control the ball and disrupt the opponent's attack in FC 26. Mastering and utilizing different types of passes can help you avoid frustrating mistakes and thus prevent losing possession. Here, we'll show you each passing technique and how to use them correctly.

Ground Pass

First, let's start with the basic Ground Pass. This is also the simplest passing technique in FC 26, influenced by both Tiki Taka and Pinged Pass playstyles.

To perform a ground pass, aim at the player with the left stick and then press the X or A button. The goal of this pass is to get the ball directly to the player's feet, and it's the most common passing technique.

When performing a ground pass, ensure there is no one else between the passer and the target player. If an opposing defender is positioned between the passer and the receiver, ground passes are easily intercepted.

Lofted Pass

But don't worry, here's another technique to overcome the drawbacks of ground passes! This is Lofted Pass. Simply double-tap the pass button quickly, and you'll find your player will throw the ball higher instead of passing it as usual.

One-Two Pass

If you want to create a scoring opportunity with your starting players immediately after passing, try One-Two Pass. Hold down L1/LB button to pass the ball to the receiver.

Afterward, you need to observe your starting players' movements and seize the opportunity to win the game with a precise pass! Therefore, combining this passing method with other passing methods can be very effective.

Driven Ground Pass

Driven Ground Pass is an enhanced version of the regular ground pass. To execute this technique, hold down R1/RB button and increase the pass power. In certain tight spaces, this pass can help the receiver receive the ball faster.

Obviously, this tactic can be very risky. However, as mentioned earlier, you can combine it with One-Two Pass, allowing your player to deliver a powerful and precise pass to the target player and then immediately run forward to create space for themselves.

Through Pass

Ground passes seem straightforward when you need to pass the ball directly to a player's feet. However, sometimes you need to pass the ball into the running lane. This is where Through Pass comes in, especially when there are running players in the open.

Through passes allow you to maintain speed when receiving the ball. Simultaneously, you can use the left stick to indicate the running direction of the player and then press the Triangle/Y button to enhance the through pass.

Lofted Through Pass

Another passing technique is a variation of Through Pass Lofted Through Pass. This allows you to easily bypass defenders and deliver the ball into your running lane. Double-tap Triangle/Y button to activate it.

When the opponent confidently stands in the middle of the normal passing lane ready to intercept, your attack can easily break through their defense.

This move is incredibly powerful when you're preparing to pass the ball into the box, as you can manually control the ball's landing point with a precise through pass. While the landing point might not be exactly as expected, it's extremely useful. Especially when you see a runner with plenty of space ahead and potentially receiving the ball at a greater distance, you can choose Lofted Through Pass to position him closer to the opponent's goal.

Flair Pass

During passing, you sometimes need to pass the ball in a direction you can't face. This is where Flair Pass comes in handy. With these extra animations, you can perform one-touch passes that are impossible with regular passes, without controlling the ball.

If you need these special animation effects, simply hold down the L2/LT button before charging the pass. You can also combine Flair Pass with Lob Pass to pass to a closer teammate. You'll see your player dive into the goal and loft the ball high.

Lob Pass

For Lob Pass, Long Ball Pass playstyle will play a crucial role. You can perform many actions using only Square/X button, especially under pressure. A simple Lob Pass can easily break through the defense.

High Lob Pass

For players with aerial advantage, you can also hold down L1/LB button before passing to perform a High Lob Pass. This makes the ball fly higher, giving taller players an advantage over shorter players.

Driven Lob Pass

A Driven Lob Pass is the opposite; the pass is lower in height but faster. This passing method is very useful if there are no defenders between the passer and the target.

To use a Driven Lob Pass, hold down both L1/LB and R1/RB buttons simultaneously, then pass the ball powerfully. This passing method is especially effective when switching sides, allowing you to quickly pass the ball to the other side and accelerate the attack even before the opposing defenders have a foothold.

Crosses

When you perform a Lob Pass near the opponent's box, these passes become crosses. Whipped Pass Playstyle increases the curve of your pass, but you must observe your target and determine the power of your pass to capitalize on opportunities when the cross creates an advantage.

Of course, there are also variations of crosses. A High Cross involves holding down L1/LB button while crossing, causing the ball to fly high and reducing the chance of interception.

For more precise crosses, you can use Precision Cross again, holding down R1/RB button before crossing. Then, observe the target player's movement and carefully aim with the left stick to easily complete the cross.

Besides High Cross, you can also choose Driven Cross, which makes the ball faster but with a lower trajectory, very useful in certain situations. This method is particularly effective when passing back down the flank while the winger on the other side cuts into the box. Holding down both L1/LB and R1/RB buttons simultaneously, then pressing the cross button, will deliver a faster and more accurate pass to the target.

Swerve Pass

Another popular passing technique in FIFA 26 this year is Swerve Pass, which adds extra curve to your through balls, creating new passing variations.

Incisive Pass Playstyle plays a crucial role here. Hold L2+LT and increase the power of your normal pass by more than two bars to perform Precision Swerve Ground Pass. Depending on the player's curve ability, this method can create another passing route for the receiving player.

You can also use this method for through balls. Hold L2+LT, point at the attacking player's run, and then pass with increased power. This is slightly more difficult than a normal through ball, but precise control of the through ball's landing point will give you an advantage. You'll need some extra practice to familiarize yourself with this technique and its practical application.

Outside Foot Pass

Finally, we have Outside Foot Pass, which can only be performed by players with Inventive Playstyle. The key is to avoid using the player's weak foot and only use their strong foot.

If the ball is near a player's non-dominant foot and you're unsure, you can hold down L2/LT button while passing and then pass with the outside of your dominant foot.

This technique also works for through balls and may even create a curve. Hold down L2/LT and try a through ball with the outside of your non-dominant foot. This can create many attacking opportunities without needing to switch feet, saving time.

You can also use the outside foot pass for long passes, which quickly and accurately push the ball to the flanks. Hold down L2/LT and then make a powerful low pass into the opponent's half to perform this action. This passing method allows you to avoid your non-dominant foot, create a curve, and also chip the ball towards the player's running path, thus creating very unique passing opportunities.

These are all the important passing techniques in EA FC 26. Skilled passing allows you to easily bypass defenders, maintain ball possession under pressure, and create more scoring opportunities. Therefore, mastering passing techniques is more important than simply relying on skill moves; it allows you to control the tempo of the game.
