Completing this SBC currently costs approximately 23,350 on consoles and 23,050 on PC. For your efforts, you will receive an RTTF Guarantee Pack which contains one player from the RTTF squad. Given the potential value of high-tier cards like Jamal Musiala or Marcus Rashford, the 29,083 could skyrocket if your pulled player advances deep into the tournament.
The Road to the Final 2026: Real Life Impact
The timing of this SBC is perfect as the UEFA Champions League enters the quarter-final stage. Heavyweights like Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and Liverpool have secured their spots, while Arsenal and Sporting CP prepare for a massive showdown on April 7th. In the Europa League, teams such as Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest are representing the Premier League's interests, offering plenty of upgrade potential for their respective RTTF cards. Since these items receive a +1 OVR boost for every round they advance, pulling a player from a favorite like Manchester City or Paris Saint-Germain could result in a 90+ rated beast by May.
Is the RTTF Upgrade SBC Worth Your Fodder?
- High Ceiling: A chance to pull top-tier meta cards that can still upgrade multiple times.

- Low Entry Barrier: Two relatively simple challenges that can be completed with club untradeables.
