EA Sports is closing out the FUTTIES campaign with a bang, and one of the biggest additions to FC 26 Ultimate Team is the release of the Victor Ibarbo FUTTIES Hero SBC. Longtime players will remember Ibarbo as one of FIFA 26 Coins the most overpowered attackers in FIFA history, and this latest 97-rated version pays homage to his legacy in the best way possible.

If you're stacking FUTTIES players, grinding weekend matches, or just looking to spend your FIFA 26 Coins wisely, this Squad Building Challenge could be exactly what your team needs. Let's dive into everything you need to know to unlock this fan-favorite Colombian winger and determine if he's worth the investment.

Why Victor Ibarbo Still Matters in FC 26

Victor Ibarbo has been a cult icon in the FIFA community for years, thanks to his blistering pace and powerful finishes. His FUT Birthday card earlier in the FC 26 cycle was already a strong option, but this new FUTTIES Hero version takes it several steps further.

With a 97 overall rating, five-star skill moves, five-star weak foot, and four elite PlayStyles, Finesse Shot+, Power Shot+, Quickstep+, and Trivela+, this card is made to wreak havoc in any attacking setup. He's fast, strong, technical, and now fits perfectly into the Hero chemistry system, making him a deadly weapon for both meta squads and creative builds.

What You Need to Submit

Unlocking Ibarbo won't be a walk in the park, but it's certainly manageable with good club management and smart use of FC 26 players. The SBC requires seven squad submissions, ranging from an 88-rated team up to a 93-rated powerhouse.

Here's a general overview of what you'll need:

    88-Rated Squad with Serie A and Special Player Requirement: Include one TOTW/TOTS and one Serie A player.

    89-Rated Squad: Straightforward, just high overall rating.

    90-Rated Squad with TOTW/TOTS: Requires one in-form or special card.

    91-Rated Squad: Begins the real high-end grind.

    Two 92-Rated Squads: Stack your club's best untradeables here.

    93-Rated Squad: The most expensive piece of EA FC Coins the puzzle.

Altogether, the estimated total cost for the SBC is around 450,000 FIFA 26 Coins, though that can fluctuate based on market trends and your inventory of untradeable FC 26 players.
