Ultimate Birthday
flatFriday, 12 March 2027 to Thursday, 25 March 2027
The FUT Birthday promo, with skill move and weak foot upgrades. Lots of SBCs, so fodder is in demand.
What to do
Hold fodder (84–86) for SBCs, otherwise build coins. TOTS is getting closer.
What actually worked in this phase
From the FC 26 season, every card from 5,000 coins up, bought and sold again after 7 days, after the 5 % EA tax. Buying at random in this phase returned -4.2 % on average. The percentages below were tested on cards that were not used to find the patterns.
- ▲Icons rated 85 to 87: +3.3 %
- ▲Icon midfielders: +1.5 %
- ▼Better left alone, meta gold cards: -13.4 %
- ▼Better left alone, meta gold cards well below their high: -13.4 %
