FC 26 91+ Encore Icon Upgrade SBC: Full Guaranteed Icon Reward Pool

The 91+ Encore Icon Upgrade in FC 26 Ultimate Team hands you one guaranteed Icon rated 91 or higher. There is no filler below that mark, so every possible result is a high-end legend. The pool draws from five recognizable campaigns, and knowing exactly who can drop is the difference between chasing a card that fits your squad and rolling for one you'll instantly sell.

⚽

Quick answer: Completing the 91+ Encore Icon Upgrade SBC gives you one untradeable Icon rated 91 OVR or above, pulled from the Time Warp, Future Stars, TOTY, FUT Birthday, and Trophy Titans pools listed below.

What the 91+ Encore Icon Upgrade SBC gives you

The reward is a single Player Pack that is locked to Icons with a minimum 91 rating. Because the rating floor removes weaker cards entirely, the gamble is narrower than a standard Icon pack. You submit the required squads, and in return you receive one Icon from the combined pool.

The pool is split across five campaign types. Each group brings legends with real positional value, from goalkeepers and center-backs to midfield controllers and elite strikers.

Time Warp Icons (91+ pool)

Note: Puyol and Lahm sit at 90 in this group, but the SBC pull itself is still guaranteed to land at 91 or higher across the full pool.

Future Stars Icons (91+ pool)

TOTY Icons (91+ pool)

FUT Birthday Icons (91+ pool)

Trophy Titans Icons (91+ pool)

Trophy Titans is the largest slice of the pool, with names spanning every position. This is where most of the top-end attackers and defenders sit.

How to complete the SBC and confirm the pull

The challenge asks for squads that meet set rating and Team of the Week requirements. The cheapest route is usually clearing untradeable squad fodder from your club and rotating through cheaper SBC sets so you spend the least on packs.

Step 1: Open the SBC menu in Ultimate Team and select the 91+ Encore Icon Upgrade. Check each segment's exact rating and chemistry requirements before submitting anything.

Step 2: Build and submit the required squads, prioritizing untradeable cards so you avoid burning coins on consumables you could keep.

Step 3: Confirm the final segment to open the Player Pack. You'll know it worked when the pack reveals an Icon walkout rated 91 or higher and the card lands in your club as untradeable.

If the SBC does not let you submit, the usual reason is a squad that misses the rating floor or the minimum Team of the Week requirement. Fix the squad rating or swap in an in-form, and the segment will accept.

Tip: You can track the SBC window and compare BIN fodder prices through FUT Web App or the EA Sports Companion App when you're away from your console.

Cost and whether it's worth doing

The price swings with the platform and the timing of the market, so the figure you pay shifts day to day. Spending falls fastest when you feed in leftover untradeable players instead of buying every card on the open market. Watching the PlayStation and Xbox markets for dips before you commit keeps the bill down.

The value call comes down to your goal. If you want an immediate first-team upgrade and dislike opening packs, the guaranteed 91+ floor makes the gamble cleaner because there is no low-rated chaff to dilute it. If you're chasing coins instead, time your completion for a quiet market and check live prices before you sell.

For squad building, midfield-focused teams gravitate toward Maradona (CAM 96), Xavi (CM 93), or Schweinsteiger (CM 96), while attacking sides target Pele, Henry, and Zlatan. Defenders and goalkeepers such as Maldini, Beckenbauer, and Buffon hold value across every mode, since they fit any formation through Icon chemistry links. The smartest pick is whichever card plugs the biggest hole in your starting eleven.
