The final stages of the FC 26 cycle are here, and EA Sports has released one of the most anticipated gambles yet: the 1 of 3 94+ GOTG or FUTTIES Icon or Hero Player Pick. This SBC is designed for players looking to bolster their squads with absolute legends of the game, pulling from two of the most prestigious card designs this year: Greats of the Game and the pink-themed FUTTIES icons and heroes.

Completing this Squad Building Challenge requires submitting three distinct squads. While the requirements are high, the potential payout includes cards that were previously valued at millions of coins. Currently, the estimated cost to complete this challenge is approximately 101,500 on consoles and 104,750 on PC. Along the way, you will also earn a Small Gold Players Pack and an Electrum Players Pack to help recoup some of your fodder.
The Pool of Legends: GOTG and FUTTIES
The 'Greats of the Game' (GOTG) promo was a tribute to the icons and heroes who dominated the international stage during major tournaments. These cards reflect the peak performances of legends like Zinedine Zidane, who famously led France to glory in 1998, or Ronaldo Nazário, whose eight goals in the 2002 World Cup secured Brazil's fifth star. By limiting the pick to 94+ rated items, EA has filtered out many of the lower-tier pulls, significantly increasing your chances of hitting a 'big win'.
- FUTTIES Icons: High-rated, boosted versions of the most beloved legends in the game.
- GOTG Heroes: Upgraded versions of cult heroes like Wesley Sneijder or David Capdevila.
- International Prestige: Many of these cards feature premium chemistry, making them easy to slot into any squad.
Is It Worth the Fodder?
With a rewards value of 0, the math behind this SBC depends heavily on the current state of your club. If you have a plethora of high-rated duplicates from the current promo packs, this is an excellent way to recycle them. The 94+ rating floor ensures that you won't see the base versions of heroes or lower-rated icons that would otherwise clutter a standard player pick. However, remember that icons like Petr Cech or certain GOTG Heroes might appear frequently, so it remains a high-risk, high-reward gamble.
