FC 26 Retegui Cornerstones SBC Leaked – Stats, Cost & Details Would you like me to

As the launch of EA FC 26 is finally here, we're already seeing Ultimate Team players getting excited for upcoming promos and special cards. One of the most recent leaks suggests a new Cornerstones SBC for the Italian striker, Mateo Retegui. This comes from an established source and already looks like another nice early-game addition for either a Serie A or Italian squad.

Cornerstones SBCs are special Squad Building Challenges tied to the brand-new promo in celebration of key players who will be the "cornerstones" of their club or nation in the years to come.

EA has already released another SBC for Zubimendi as part of this promo, and we've also seen a leaked example for Brighton's Evan Ferguson. So, Retegui becomes the third rumored player for a Cornerstones card.

FC 26 Retegui Cornerstones SBC Leaked

Fut Sheriff, an infamous leaker, claims that Retegui will receive an SBC player item during the Cornerstones promo in EA FC 26. The Cornerstones series usually emphasizes the main players of the team who have the potential to be significant contributors to their clubs, and it is a natural fit for Retegui. Players who want to create hybrid teams will find this leak to be extremely exciting.

Retegui is a flexible option for teams because of his Italian ethnicity and Serie A connections. If this leak is also confirmed, Retegui will be another player on the list of Cornerstones SBCs slated to be released during the first week of FC 26.

FC 26 Retegui Cornerstones SBC Stats

The Retegui SBC card, which has been leaked, is anticipated to be an 86 player striker with balanced ability. Since these stats are unofficial, they give players a decent idea of how Retegui will play if they opt to do the challenge.

What is impressive about Retegui is that his average pace is complemented by physicality. While passing isn’t his strongest attribute, movement, shooting, and strength could help him be a solid target man. He also has decent dribbling stats for a player striker, which could help him play well as a stand-alone forward or as a two-man with a second striker.

Here’s a breakdown of the stats:

FC 26 Retegui Cornerstones SBC Cost

At present, there is still nothing official on the precise pricing of the SBC, but on the basis of early leaks and comparisons to the Zubimendi Cornerstones SBC, it could be roughly estimated to be in the 60,000 to 70,000 coin range.

This should be reasonably priced for launch week SBCs, especially given that 86-rated strikers can fetch more. Early game SBCs, like these, may require one or two squads with moderate chemistry and/or rating requirements.

And again, if it comes in that 60-70K cost range, it should be great value to add to the front line in Ultimate Team, especially for players also grinding FC 26 FUT Champions Rewards to strengthen their squad.
