Deep Dive into the Campaign Pool
The pool of available players in this pick is extensive, covering some of the most popular promos in FC 26. Fantasy FC cards are particularly interesting as they are live items that upgrade based on real-world league performances. During the 2025/26 season, many of these players have seen significant boosts thanks to their teams' defensive records or goal-scoring streaks in Europe's top five leagues. Knockout Royalty cards also celebrate the stars of the Champions League knockout stages, where tactical masterclasses often lead to incredible individual stats.
- Time Warp: Nostalgic boosts for legendary figures in the modern game.
- TOTY HM: The players who just missed the main Team of the Year but still boast incredible 90+ rated stats.
- Future Stars: The wonderkids of world football, including the likes of Lamine Yamal and Kobbie Mainoo.
- Fantasy FC: Live items tracking domestic success for potential +4 OVR upgrades.
- Knockout Royalty: Specialized items for the kings of European knockout competitions.
Is It Worth the Price?
With the reward value estimated around 0, the SBC is priced fairly. The inclusion of TOTY Honorable Mentions means there is a chance to pack top-tier cards that still compete with the current meta. However, since the pick excludes Heroes and Icons, you are strictly looking at active players. If you have duplicate high-rated fodder from Marquee Matchups or objective rewards, this is the perfect place to recycle them for a high-ceiling reward.
