It’s not long now until players can start opening packs and building their Ultimate Team on EA FC 26.

Leakers have claimed players will be able to transfer unspent EA FC points from FC 25 to FC 26.

But community managers have said this isn’t official, leaving the playerbase in the dark over the money they’ve spent on the game.

However, FUT players may still be able to start a strong collection without spending thanks to a generous starter objective.

Leakers from the EA FC 26 closed beta have discovered a challenge that awards a Jumbo Rare Players Pack for scoring 250 goals.

These packs are typically worth 100k coins as they offer 24 gold players that are all rare.

This pack will give decent odds of packing some of the leaked top 50 players in EA FC 26.

This will massively help players with Squad Building Challenges (SBCs) as untradeable cards can still be used.

Plus, having a variety of players is going to be more important than ever before, with new Gauntlets requiring new squads in every match.

While 250 goals may sound like a long challenge, many have pointed out that you can grind matches against beginner AI to make this much quicker.

The game doesn’t release until September 19th for those who purchase the Ultimate Edition for a week of early access.

Although PC players will get a slight head start as EA FC 26 a day earlier than console players.

And even before then, players can begin opening packs and trading once the Web App launches on September 17th.

What’s new in EA FC 26 Ultimate Team?

EA has promised a lot of improvements for Ultimate Team in EA FC 26.

The biggest change is the introduction of two distinct types of gameplay for online and offline modes.

Competitive gameplay will mean FUT matches are fast-paced and skill-intensive, with more manual defending required and fewer frustrating rebounds.

Live Events and Tournaments will keep the game mode fresh, especially the new Ultimate Team Gauntlets.

Guantlets are the same as usual five-game tournaments, but require players to use a new squad in each match.

Additionally, EA has finally made it so that players who leave while drawing are still punished even if they turn off their console.

Meanwhile, if your opponent quits, it will still count as a win if the match is in the second half, a player was sent off, or a penalty was awarded.

And finally, players in Divisions 10-6 can now compete in FUT Champs Challengers to still qualify for FUT Champs.
