The football hit EA FC is almost notorious for driving players to madness. As every year, there is once again a card that most often sends the controller flying: A player who bulldozes through Ultimate Team and everyone is annoyed.
Who is the aforementioned nuisance? Every year seems to have a card in Ultimate Team that shoots through Division Rivals like a hybrid of Messi and Ronaldo – and no one knows why. This year, Claudia Pina Medina (via Futbin) is giving some EA FC gamers nightmares.
The Spanish player from FC Barcelona is, according to the community, the latest horror for any Ultimate Team player. At only 34,750 coins, the left winger is relatively inexpensive and boasts impressive stats – 86 shooting, 83 passing, 87 dribbling – yet she is by no means an Erling Haaland or a Kylian Mbappé. An explicit Reddit feed thus cynically addresses the topic: “Let’s play a Division Rivals match” and then the card of Claudia Pina appears.
DAAMblueday writes on Reddit: “Seriously, how does this happen every year? Why is there always a card that is much stronger (in terms of stats) than it should be?”
Annoyed by the new Ben Yedder
What annoys players the most? One thing many players of EA FC 26 are currently bothered by the most – Claudia Pina seems to be everywhere. No matter which division is tackled, Pina will eventually be on the opponent’s half. At least that’s how the community sees it: She is the new Ben Yedder
, writes unoetriono via Reddit.
Ben Yedder, probably one of the most famous cases of overpowered FUT cards – especially 2020 saw the Frenchman dominate Ultimate Team. A player who was seen in almost every team and always performed incredibly well – despite his rather average abilities on the real pitch.
Thus, Claudia Pina is now seen. As an ever-present force of nature and an omnipresent hurdle. I was winning, led 4:1. The guy brought her in at the 70th minute. I lost,

Goal Machine and Rewarding Investment
Is the card really that good? The community seems to agree: Claudia Pina is indeed annoying with her omnipresence but is really extremely good in Ultimate Team. She is ridiculously fast in dribbling, has an excellent shot, and hardly ever misses a teammate with her passes – a true gem for any team.
According to the Reddit feed, gamers hang out there seeing her not only as an annoying opponent but also as a powerful asset.
Thank God I packed her in the first days. So damn good.

Another player sees her as not a too powerful card at all, because as a dribbling artist with 5-star weak foot, good passing, shooting, and a decent physique
, she plays according to her stats, says gamer Halil_I_Tastekin via Reddit.
Notably: At the beginning, the national player from Spain cost just under 4,000 coins. Her highest value reached 80,000 coins on October 9. So if you invested at the right time, you could profit significantly.
