How do I get FC 26 TOTY players?
FC 26 Team of the Year players are only available for a short time, so you want to be quick. This is how you can get your hands on the cards:
1. Buy TOTY players on the transfer market.
If you want to be sure you get the players you want, the best way is to buy them through the in-game transfer market. Since TOTY cards are really popular, this may cost a pretty penny. You can choose to wait until there are a bit more cards available, since this usually leads to lower prices. However, you do have the chance of missing the card you really want.
2. Complete Squad Building Challenges (SBCs)
Completing Squad Building Challenges is a good way to earn TOTY cards for free! If you complete the TOTY SBCs, you earn a pack that might have a good TOTY player in it.
3. Buy packs with FC Points
You can also always get TOTY players by buying packs with FC Points. At Startselect, you’ll find FC Points for PlayStation, Xbox Steam, and Nintendo. We always deliver within 10 seconds, so you can start packing TOTY players instantly!
