How to Complete the Quinten Timber FUT Birthday SBC in FC 26
By Alfie Carrington••2 min read
The celebration of Ultimate Team continues with the release of the Quinten Timber FUT Birthday SBC. As one of the most versatile midfielders in the Eredivisie, Timber has long been a favorite for those building Dutch-themed squads or looking for a powerhouse in the center of the pitch. This special edition card provides a massive boost to his base attributes, making him a viable option for high-level competitive play as we approach the business end of the FC 26 season.
The Rise of a Dutch Powerhouse
Quinten Timber has truly stepped out of his brother Jurrien's shadow over the last year. During the 2025/26 season, he cemented himself as a vital cog in the Feyenoord midfield before his high-profile move to Marseille. His real-world performances have been characterized by incredible ball progression and physical dominance. In the Eredivisie, he ranked in the 82nd percentile for progressive carries, showcasing his ability to drive the team forward from deep positions. His versatility to play as both a Centre Midfielder and a Defensive Midfielder makes this FUT Birthday version a tactical dream for many managers.
