By Alfie Carrington••2 min read
The FUTTIES season is in full swing, and FC 26 has just dropped one of the most anticipated defensive upgrades of the year. The William Saliba FUTTIES SBC is now live, giving players the chance to anchor their backline with an elite Premier League powerhouse. Saliba has consistently been a meta favorite due to his unique combination of pace, reach, and defensive intelligence, and this special edition takes his game to a whole new level.
Arsenal's Defensive Anchor: The Rise of William Saliba
William Saliba's real-life performances have been nothing short of legendary. During the 2023-24 Premier League campaign, he became the first outfield player in Arsenal's history to play every single minute of the season, spearheading a defense that conceded a league-low 29 goals. His dominance continued onto the international stage, where he was an 'unstoppable' force for France during Euro 2024, silencing critics and solidifying his spot as one of the world's best center-backs. In the current 2024-25 season, Saliba remains the heartbeat of Mikel Arteta's system, maintaining high tackle success rates and exceptional composure on the ball.
