Thunderstruck Promo Guide

Thunderstruck Promo Cards

Thunderstruck Promo will release its main squad and Icon cards on Friday, with additional players coming later. Unlike previous years, which mainly improved player overall ratings, this year's Thunderstruck Promo focuses on adding new Playstyles for players, which may indicate that Playstyles are more important than pure stats in the current FUT 26.

Thunderstruck Promo cards are also dynamic cards. If the corresponding player and club win the next game, these cards can be upgraded.

  • 1 Base Playstyle: Win or draw 2 of the next 5 domestic league games.
  • All Roles++ in all positions: Win or draw 3 of the next 5 domestic league games.
  • PlayStyle+ or Base Playstyle: Score 10 goals in the next 5 domestic league games.

Special Cards Return

In addition to Thunderstruck cards, some cards from previous promotions, such as Ultimate Scream, Cornerstone and TOTW cards, will return. The influx of more special cards will cause the value of these cards to plummet, so it is recommended to sell the special cards you don't use quickly.

Objective

Completing the flash event and larger Objective groups during Thunderstruck promotion will unlock the following items:

  • Thunderstruck Cosmetics
  • Card Packs
  • a Thunderstruck Regular Badge Cosmetic
  • Untradeable Thunderstruck Special Objectives Player Item

Completing daily objectives rewards you with additional card packs and other valuable items such as FC 26 coins and SP.

SBCs Leaks

The official also announced that it will launch 24-hour Flash SBCs featuring World Tour players, MLS-themed Showdown SBCs, Thunderstruck ICONs and other rich challenges, and some SBCs have already been leaked.

Fernando Torres Icons

This SBC will also give players a dynamic card that upgrades based on the club's performance. 87 OVR Fernando Torres is already a strong card in FC 26, and he has excellent Playstyles such as Finesse Shot+. Therefore, it is expected that the coins required for this SBC will be very large.

Max 91 Rated Icon Pack SBC

Players who complete this SBC will receive a 91 OVR Icon player pick of 91 OVR Icons, where players can choose between Carlos Alberto and Cafu (Marcos Evangelista de Morais). Cafu's defensive AI in the game is very good. Although Playstyles is not dominant, the actual use experience is excellent.

Thunder Struck Players SBC

Thunder Struck players SBC include Willian Pacho and three Flashback cards: Yakubu Aiyegbeni (Arsenal), Guro Reiten (Chelsea Women), Jules Koundé (Barcelona).

Due to the large number of high-value SBCs coming out, and the large supply of cards brought about by the re-releases of the best TOTW and best other special cards, which will cause the value of these cards to decrease, cards that are not included in the re-release list may be safer, or even increase in value due to the associated SBC.

The value of fodder cards may fluctuate. A large number of players will open card packs on Friday. With a huge supply of cards hitting the market this time around, if you're looking to stock up on some fodder cards for your SBCs, this is the perfect time to do so.

Season 3 Leaks

With the end of Season 2, the new season will bring new season players and rewards. Season 3 Free Pass rewards include

  • 86 OVR Pablo Martín Páez Gavira (Gavi) CM
  • 88 OVR Nicolò Barella CM
  • 87 OVR Manuela Giugliano CM
  • 86 OVR Rodrigo Riquelme LM
  • 85 OVR Lorenzo Lucca ST
  • 85 OVR Oihane Valdezate CM

Season 3 Premium Pass rewards include:

  • 90 OVR Zola CAM
  • 87 OVR Amaiur Sarriegi ST
  • 87 OVR Ayoze ST
  • 86 OVR Wilfried Gnonto RM
  • 86 OVR Ricci CDM
  • 86 OVR Destiny Udogie LW
  • 85 OVR Raúl Moro LB

The quality of the players in Season 3 Premium Pass is very good, and Ayoze Pérez has a five-star weak foot and Low Driven+.

Amaiur Sarriegi could be the next Claudia Pina, with all meta playstyles, and probably the most valuable card in the entire pass.

World Tour Silver Superstars will release a new batch of silver card icons, including Diego Maradona, Franco Baresi, Sócrates and Zico, etc.

FUT Champs Rewards Buff

In addition, starting from this weekend, FUT Champs rewards will be greatly enhanced, players can obtain more coins, and Rank 1 will increase from 95,000 gold coins to 130,000 gold coins.

This will inject more gold coins into the market, which will help push up the value of top cards in the long run, which is a positive sign for the market.

Also returning to card packs on Saturday are Debut Icons, rather than the upgraded version of Champions Icons. This may be to work with future Evo systems.

That covers everything for Black Friday. It is recommended that all players pay attention to game updates and arrange investment plans in advance.
