FC 26 1 of 10 Historical Player Pick SBC: How to Complete and Best Pulls
By Alfie Carrington••3 min read
The endgame of FC 26 Ultimate Team is officially here, and EA has dropped one of the most exciting repeatable challenges to date: the 1 of 10 Historical Player Pick. This SBC offers a massive selection of Icons and Heroes from various campaigns released throughout the year. If you have been looking to add a game-changing legend to your squad, this is the perfect opportunity to recycle your high-rated fodder into something truly elite.
What is the 1 of 10 Historical Player Pick?
This specific Squad Building Challenge allows players to earn a pick containing ten different items. The pool is limited to Icons and Heroes from campaigns released before April 17th. This includes heavy hitters from promos like Team of the Year (TOTY), Future Stars, Fantasy FC, and the fan-favorite Golazo promo. Because you see ten options, the statistical probability of landing a top-tier card like a TOTY Icon or a high-rated Fantasy Hero is significantly higher than in standard 1 of 3 or 1 of 4 picks.

To complete this SBC, you will need to submit three distinct squads. While the requirements might seem steep at first glance, the reward of seeing ten different legends makes it one of the most value-oriented SBCs currently available. In addition to the main pick, you will also receive an Electrum Players Pack, a Jumbo Gold Pack, and a Gold Players Pack for completing the individual segments.
The Legacy of Icons and Heroes in FC 26
The players available in this pick represent the greatest to ever play the game. Icons like Zinedine Zidane, who dominated the midfield for Real Madrid and France, or Johan Cruyff, the architect of 'Total Football,' are the ultimate prizes. From the Hero side, cards like Lucio—the Brazilian wall who helped Inter Milan secure a historic treble—offer incredible defensive stability. These players didn't just win trophies; they changed how the game is played. Pulling a campaign version of these legends ensures your team has the 'X-factor' needed for the final Weekend League pushes.
- Focus on high-rated untradeable cards to lower the completion cost.
- The unlimited repeatability means you can grind this SBC as long as you have the fodder.
- Check the campaign end date: April 17th is the cutoff, meaning Greats of the Game cards are not included.
- Prioritize players with the 'Technical' or 'Intercept' PlayStyle+ for the current meta.
Cost Analysis: Is it Worth Your Fodder?
Currently, completing the full set of challenges will cost approximately 122,250 on consoles and 145,250 on PC. When you consider that the total estimated value of the pack rewards is 0, the net cost for a 1 of 10 player pick is quite reasonable. Given the quality of cards in the pool from promos like Fantasy FC—where players like Ramires or Ginola received massive boosts—the potential return on investment is huge.
