FC 26 has finally delivered its first massive leak, and fans are buzzing. But outside of that, the news cycle has gone completely quiet. That silence, paired with rumors that something big is dropping between today and Thursday, has the market on edge. Add in the Ultimate Gauntlet debut, fresh SBCs, and evolving trading windows, and it’s clear this week could be huge.
Ultimate Gauntlet Arrives
The main piece of official content today is the Ultimate Gauntlet. Preparation began yesterday during squad battle rewards, and savvy investors took advantage of EA dropping 50K packs to grab players at lower prices. Many of those cards are now trending back up, setting the stage for the gauntlet’s impact.
Lower-tier players like Randal Kolo Muani and Bradley Barcola already saw dips followed by rebounds, and with gauntlet squads requiring rotation, those cheap but usable options are in demand. Expect more steady rises across the next few days as the competition unfolds and players scramble to fill lineups.
Sunday Content Recap
Yesterday’s additions set up today’s momentum. The Saudi League Foundations objective added a new Portuguese link that pairs nicely with recent SBCs. A footwork-themed evo boosted dribbling stats, though many still downvoted it on Footbin because of coin cost. Meanwhile, a flashy cosmetic evo priced at 50,000 coins had players split between admiring the animation and dismissing the expense.
The standout was the Flashback Leon Goretzka SBC. Priced around 70,000 coins, it divided the community. With 53% positive and 47% negative votes, the card sits firmly on the fence. Goretzka’s versatility and playstyle make him tempting, but with limited fodder supply and other SBCs looming, many are holding off.
Market Trends After Leaks
The real tension sits with the bombazo leaks. Trusted sources like FutPoliceleaks hinted at massive content coming soon—potentially as early as today. Past bombazo leaks signaled landmark updates like major evolutions or exchange SBCs, and this one feels just as serious.

Speculation is rampant. Some believe icon swaps could return, while others suspect the first icon player SBC or pack might land shockingly early. Either way, the market is already moving. High-rated fodder has trended upward, and premium cards like Erling Haaland and Raphinha rebounded quickly after Sunday’s supply drops. Watching fodder prices closely over the next few days will be key—any sudden surge likely means the leak is real.
What to Watch This Week
The combination of leaks and the gauntlet means the FC 26 market is primed for volatility. If an icon pack or swaps system drops, fodder will spike hard. If the leaks point instead to nostalgic league SBCs or a new evolution system, demand could shift toward niche cards. Meanwhile, the gauntlet ensures steady pressure on squad-building markets.
Names to watch include Jamal Musiala, Alphonso Davies, Joshua Kimmich, Nico Williams, Wendie Renard, Malik Tillman, Javi Simons, Claudia Pina, and Nichelle Prince. These players all link into current SBCs or objectives, giving them higher movement potential.
In short, this week could define the opening stretch of FC 26. Between the silence breaking and the new competition system, the market is about to move. The only question is how big the swing will be once EA finally reveals what the bombazo leaks were really pointing to.
