Intro to Upgrade SBCs Guide: Rewards and Requirements in FC 26
The arrival of FC 26 brings back the essential building blocks for any Ultimate Team enthusiast. Among the first tasks for new managers is completing the Intro to Upgrade SBCs. This specific set of Squad Building Challenges is designed to teach players the fundamentals of trading in low-value cards for more valuable rewards, setting the stage for more advanced content throughout the year.

Understanding the Intro to Upgrade SBCs

This SBC serves as a gateway to the 'Upgrade' ecosystem in FC 26. Unlike limited-time promotions, this set provides a foundational experience. It consists of three distinct segments, each requiring a specific squad composition to progress. By completing these, you not only learn the mechanics of the game but also start building your club's depth with various player packs.

Reward Breakdown and Value Analysis

Cost and Completion Strategy

Completing this SBC is relatively inexpensive, especially if you utilize the players already sitting in your club. Currently, the estimated cost on Console is around 6,400, while PC players can expect to spend approximately 6,200. Considering that the total 0 far outweighs the submission cost, it is a no-brainer for any player looking to optimize their resources. We recommend using 'untradeable' Bronze or Silver items that do not fit into your main squad to minimize any out-of-pocket spending.
