The web app for EA FC 26 will be released tonight, allowing you to gain valuable advantages for Ultimate Team even before the actual release. We present you 4 tips to start optimally into the new season.
What is the web app? It is a free browser tool that allows you to access Ultimate Team before the release. With the web app, you can:
- create your new club
- build your starting team
- utilize the transfer market
- complete Squad Building Challenges (SBCs)
- view current events and promo players
- open packs
The big advantage: All this can be done without owning the actual game. The first days before the official release in FC 26 can offer you some advantages, as you can secure coins and cards before the influx of players begins.
Therefore, we provide you useful tips to get the most out of it. To ensure you don’t miss the launch, stay updated on our information page for the web app: EA FC 26: Web App Release is today – Everything about launch, login, and contents
1. Tip: Choose the right starter nation
Which nation is advisable? Right after logging into the web app with your data, you need to decide from which top nation most players of your first team should come. With England, you can never go wrong, especially this year.
It has now been confirmed that the first season will be called “England 66”. Therefore, it is likely that SBCs and tasks will demand English players. Hence, you should opt for England this year.
After your decision, you will receive a colorful mix of gold, silver, and bronze professionals from your chosen nation randomly assigned. All players are untradeable.
2. Tip: Choose the most expensive kits and crests for your club
Which crests and kits are expensive? The kits and crests that you can select at the start are tradeable and can be sold on the transfer market for coins.
Historically, kits and crests from the largest and most famous clubs are expensive and can even be sold for several thousand coins. This includes:
- Premier League:
- Manchester United
- FC Arsenal
- FC Liverpool
- Bundesliga:
- Bayern Munich
- Borussia Dortmund
- Eintracht Frankfurt
- 1. FC Köln
- LaLiga:
- Real Madrid
- FC Barcelona
- Süper Lig:
- Galatasaray Istanbul
- Fenerbahçe Istanbul
- Besiktas Istanbul
- National teams of the top nations
Also, pay attention to striking kits with a special appearance. You can also try to sell these on the transfer market.
Important Note: If you don’t have popular or special kits and crests to choose from, definitely select those that are gold and rare. After all, they will earn you a few hundred coins through instant sale, which you can use to start on the transfer market.
3. Tip: Monitor the market and start with small transfers
How to act on the transfer market? After creating your new club as a manager, you can now work as a scout on the transfer market. Many players try to get coins as quickly as possible. You can take advantage of this to snag one or the other bargain.
Before buying players, observe for a while how many coins professionals are being sold for on average. Players from top nations and/or leagues are particularly popular. Choose one player from your observations and try to buy them immediately below their market value or bid when the auction is about to expire.
The filters on the transfer market will help you. An example would be the following filter settings:
- League: Premier League
- Nation: France
- Rarity: Gold
- Instant Buy Price: max. 350 coins
If you get the player, then immediately list the professional for a price just above their market value on the transfer market. It shouldn’t take long for the player to be bought.
An important indicator of whether a player will be bought or not is also their usefulness for SBCs.
4. Tip: Complete SBCs with untradeable players from your club
Why use untradeable players? Especially at the beginning, every coin counts. Instead of buying players on the transfer market, you should complete SBCs as much as possible with untradeable cards from your club that you will not need anyway.
If you do not have much experience with SBCs yet, you can also refer to the solutions on popular FUT service sites. These include:
- Futbin
- EasySBC
- Futwiz
You do not have to replicate the teams from the solution suggestions exactly but can just check which nations, leagues, and ratings were used and compile similar player combinations from your club.
This way, you save coins and have the chance to pull cards from the rewards that you can either sell or use yourself.
With these 4 tips, you can prepare yourself optimally for the official season start during the first hours of the web app. This way, you might already get started with some upgrades for your starter team in early access on Thursday or Friday: Ultimate Team in FC 26 starts this week for the expensive edition and EA Play – all important dates for the launch
