EA FC 26 player card recommendations for each position
In FC 26 Ultimate Team, there are three main categories for player cards. These categories help you plan your team.
- Top cards: good stats, strong special abilities, and durable models. But they are also expensive.
- Utility cards: Cards with a good price-performance ratio. They are not the best, but they are very good.
- Transition cards: They are good for the first few weeks. They help you until you can buy stronger cards.
Top cards
At the beginning of the game or in the first few weeks, the rule is: You get a good card once. You shouldn't have to change it for a long time. A center-back like Virgil van Dijk has good defensive stats. He also has many good special skills and looks good. But he is expensive. For example, it costs about 300,000 coins at the beginning.
Utility cards
A value card has slightly lower values or special abilities than the best cards. But it is still very useful for the first two months. William Saliba is not as well-known as the best center-backs. But he is very useful in the early game. Typical prices range between ten thousand and about 200,000 coins. Prices depend on demand and chemistry.
Transition cards
These cards belong to the affordable range. They are particularly good for beginners. You can either have average values or special abilities. There is also a special attribute, like high speed. An example is Micky van de Ven, who is very fast. You can also have good stats, but the chemistry compatibility is low. Or you choose a less well-known league or nation. These options are cheaper. They are ideal for early development.
Practical tips for beginners
In the first two weeks, you can build your main area with transition cards. After that, you focus on utility cards. Choose cards from the top five leagues. From the second or third month, you should start adding top cards to your team. High-quality gold cards can be used for many months. This method is a standard strategy for teams in FC26 Ultimate Team.
