EA’s Live Tuning Update 2 instantly reshaped the FUT market. The headline move was Claudia Pina, who rebounded from 10,000 coins before the announcement to roughly 29,000 coins minutes after the change went live. The surge reflects a fast return to value for agile, on-ball creators now that Controlled Sprint Dribbling feels close to its pre v1.1.0 pace.
Why Pina moved first
Pina has been the most talked about attacker in FC 26 because her profile fits the meta when close control matters. With Controlled Sprint Dribbling restored to near previous speed, her tight carries, quick exit angles and rapid first touches regained premium status. Traders piled in, casual players followed, and the price reset to a new band almost immediately.
Knock-on effects: Yamal and Bonmatí
Lamine Yamal and Aitana Bonmatí also climbed sharply. Both benefit from 
Technical+, which amplifies quick, precise ball control when the game rewards acceleration into space and sharp directional changes. As dribble speed bounced back, demand for Technical-leaning attackers rose with it.
What this means for the market
- Expect a new ceiling for small-space playmakers and wingers who accelerate out of pressure.
- Price bands may stay elevated through the weekend as players test squads and content creators push meta builds.
- Volatility will be highest during prime play windows. If you are trading, set tighter undercuts and use buy orders rather than chasing rising asks.
Quick snapshot of the reaction
| Player | Pre update price | Post update move | Why it moved |
|---|---|---|---|
| Claudia Pina | 10,000 | 29,000 | Meta dribbler regains value with faster controlled carries |
| Lamine Yamal | 142,000 | 168,000 | Elite close control, wide acceleration now bites again |
| Aitana Bonmatí | 355,000 | 417,000 | Technical+ and press resistance fit the restored pacing |
Dribbling is back!
The dribbling rollback pushed the game back toward creators who can carry through tight gaps. Pina led the spike, and the broader market followed with Technical-driven attackers pricing in the new pace. Keep an eye on further tuning notes and upcoming promos, since fresh supply is the one factor that can cool these gains.
