Every year when EA drops a new Ultimate Team, one of the first questions that players ask is: How do I spend my FC Points? With EA FC 26, that question is more important than ever. For FC 26 Coins those who pre-ordered the Ultimate Edition, you'll receive a total of 6,000 FC Points spread across the first few months of the game.

But how you spend them could be the difference between starting strong or wasting a huge opportunity.

Today, we'll break down the smartest ways to use those points, weighing the pros and cons of each method. Whether you're a hardcore player grinding Foot Champs or a casual fan just building a fun club, this guide has you covered.

The New FC Point Distribution in FC 26

Before diving into the methods, it's important to understand how EA is distributing FC Points this year. Unlike older FIFAs, where pre-order bonuses gave you all your points on launch day, FC 26 spreads the 6,000 FC Points across three drops:

 September 19th: 2,000 FC Points

 October 31st (Halloween): 2,000 FC Points

 November 30th: 2,000 FC Points

That means you won't be able to blow all 6,000 points on day one. Instead, you'll need a plan that covers short-term gains and long-term strategies across the early season.

Method 1: Opening Packs on Day One

The most common way players spend FC Points is on packs-and it's easy to see why. The excitement of pulling a walkout or a high-value meta player is unmatched.

For reference:

 2,000 FC Points = 13 Premium Gold Packs (7.5k each)

 Quick selling an average 7.5k pack returns about 2,600 coins

 Quick selling all 13 would net you around 33,800 coins

But here's the key-don't just quick sell. On day one, even the most average cards sell for inflated prices due to market scarcity. An 80-rated gold that normally goes for discard might sell for 700-900 coins on the opening weekend. Shadow or Hunter chemistry styles could sell for 5,000 coins or more.

If you sell every item from your 13 packs, you could realistically walk away with 45k-50k coins to build your starter squad. While risky (since packs are always luck-based), it's a fun way to kickstart your journey.

Best For: Players who love the excitement of cheap FC Coins packs and want a coin injection on day one.

Downside: Completely luck-dependent and not the most efficient use of points long-term.
