Complete Guide to the 4 of 10 80+ Player Pick SBC in FC 26
By Alfie Carrington••2 min read
The 4 of 10 80+ Player Pick SBC has officially landed in FC 26 Ultimate Team, providing one of the most enticing upgrade opportunities we have seen this season. Unlike standard player picks that usually limit your choice to one out of three or four players, this specific challenge allows you to select four different players from a massive pool of ten candidates. This significantly shifts the odds in your favor, making it much easier to target specific high-rated fodder or that elusive meta card you need for your starting eleven.

In terms of value, completing this SBC will cost approximately 6,900 on consoles and 7,600 on PC. For your investment, you aren't just getting the massive player pick; you also earn two Silver Packs as rewards for the individual segments. Given that the 0 of a 4-choice pick from 10 slots is incredibly high, many players are viewing this as a 'must-complete' before it expires on March 16.
Analysis and Strategic Value of the 80+ Upgrade
The tactical advantage of the 4 of 10 format cannot be overstated. By seeing ten different items rated 80 or higher, the statistical probability of encountering a walkout (86+ rating) or a special promo item is drastically increased compared to standard packs. Historically, these types of picks are the best way to 'craft' expensive Icon or Hero SBCs by turning low-rated gold cards into high-rated assets. Since this SBC is repeatable up to three times, it is recommended to use any duplicate untradeable gold rares you have in your club to minimize the actual coin spend.
- Prioritize using untradeable cards from leagues you do not use to keep your main squad intact.
- Complete all three repetitions to maximize your chances of a high-rated pull.
- Open your Silver Pack rewards immediately to look for rare silver items that might be required for other active SBCs.
