FC 26 Max 88 Icon SBC Predictions: Know Which Legends Will Be Up For Grabs

EA Sports is going to introduce a new list of icons in the coming days. As per trusted sources, FC 26 is planning to release a new set of overpowered cards in the game. The Max 88 Icon Squad Building Challenge (SBC) cards are rumoured to be the next big promo in the game. If the leaks hold ground, you will be getting a chance to sign some real legends from this century into your Ultimate team. Earlier, FC 26 had already released similar promos like Max 87 Base Hero SBC, so it won't be a surprise to get 88-rated icons in the early days of November.

FC 26 Max 88 icon SBC is sure to include some of the best cards from the current meta. Although the leaks are in the primitive stage and not much is known about the new cards, we have compiled a full list of players who are most likely to come in the Max 88 Icon promo based on the inputs from trusted leakers. You are surely in for a treat if the predicted cards translate into an official release next month.

One of the trusted FC 26 sources, @FutSheriff, took to its official X ( formerly Twitter) to disclose the FC 26 Max 88 Icon SBC predictions. The tweet was made on October 29th, 2025, at 4:53 PM UTC.

The tweet also disclosed some of the FC 26 Max 88 Icon SBC cards. The list of rumoured cards includes many superstars like Gareth Bale, Fernando Torres and Rio Ferdinand. The tweet also displayed the expected overall ratings and playstyles of some of the predicted cards from this promo.

FC 26 Max 88 Icon SBC Predicted Player Stats

Our predictions suggest that the FC 26 Max 88 Icon SBC promo will be headlined by former Real Madrid star Gareth Bale. One of the best wingers of his era, Bale's Max 88 Icon card is expected to be lightning quick and strong. The Max 88 Icon SBC promo is also speculated to include former Barcelona and Manchester United defenders, Lilian Thuram and Rio Ferdinand. If the predictions turn out to be true, these three cards would get insane stats under an evolution and may change the complete meta of the game. The complete list of FC 26 Max 88 Icon predictions is given below:

If these cards arrive, they are sure to attract fans of all the top clubs: Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United and Arsenal. All the cards are expected to have the same OVR of 88, except for Fernando Torres. If you had been unlucky at signing some top icons from the Ratings Reload or Ultimate Scream promo, this will be another chance and may be the best from the current lot of promos. However, make sure to have a good amount of coins in your ID before you invest in the pack.

From the early stages of the leaks, Bale can be predicted to be the best card of the promo. Considering the rarity and high ratings of these cards, you can expect them to cost well above 500,000 coins. EA Sports is likely to make an official announcement about this promo in the first week of November.
