The Thunderstruck promotion is set to take over FC 26 starting on Black Friday and running for an entire week. Alongside upgraded players, new Evolutions and special pack drops, several high profile Squad Building Challenges are expected to headline the content. Multiple reliable leakers on Twitter have already shared the SBCs that should go live throughout the promo window, giving players a clear idea of what to save fodder for.
Below is a full overview of every SBC that is expected to arrive during Thunderstruck.
Thunderstruck Player SBCs
Fernando Torres Thunderstruck SBC
A highly anticipated card featuring one of the most popular Spanish strikers in Ultimate Team history. A Thunderstruck version of Fernando Torres is expected to be one of the headline additions, likely requiring several high rated squads.
Willian Pacho Thunderstruck SBC
A new Thunderstruck item for the Ecuadorian defender. Pacho has been a fan favourite this year, so an upgrade path fits well into the promo.
Flashback SBCs
Victor Gyokeres Flashback SBC
A Flashback card celebrating a standout period from Gyokeres. Expect pace and physicality to be the focus.
Guro Reiten Flashback SBC
A Flashback SBC for one of the most consistent women’s football stars in the game.
Jules Kounde Flashback SBC
A top tier defender receiving a Flashback upgrade. Given his popularity each year, this SBC will draw a lot of attention.
Icon and Hero SBCs
Cafu or Carlos Alberto Icon Player Pick SBC
A choice between two legendary Brazilian right backs. This Icon Player Pick should become one of the biggest SBCs of the week.
Eden Hazard or Di Natale Hero Player Pick SBC
A Hero Player Pick featuring two elite attackers. This is expected to be priced aggressively and will likely be one of the most completed SBCs during the promo.
Max 91 Rated Icon SBC
A repeatable or time limited SBC that gives a guaranteed Icon rated 91 or lower.
The most expensive players included in the pool are:
- Ruud Gullit
- Zico
- Zlatan Ibrahimovic
- Eusebio
- Thierry Henry
- Alex Morgan
This SBC will likely become a fodder sink for the entire Thunderstruck week.
What to Expect During the Week
The pattern from previous years suggests that EA will spread these SBCs out across the promo. Player SBCs are typically released early in the event, with Icon and Hero picks placed in the mid week cycle to keep engagement high.
If these leaks hold true, Thunderstruck will deliver one of the most stacked SBC rotations of the entire FC 26 cycle. Make sure to prepare fodder, avoid unnecessary upgrades and keep an eye on the store for potential high value repeatable packs arriving alongside the SBCs.
