Before buying or submitting players, verify that the squad meets the live challenge requirements and check the current price for your platform. EA says SBC submissions are final: submitted Player Items are permanently removed from your club.
Why a copied SBC solution may not work
The challenge shown in Ultimate Team is the authority on whether a squad qualifies. In FC 26, requirements can include squad rating, chemistry, player quality, leagues, nations and clubs. A community solution may no longer match the active challenge or may have been changed since it was posted. Compare every player and requirement with the live SBC screen rather than assuming a posted squad is still valid. EA’s SBC guide

Community sites such as FUTBIN list solutions and offer filters and cost sorting, but those listings do not replace the in-game eligibility check. No reviewed source establishes a general success rate for copied squads.
How to check a solution before using it
- Open the specific SBC in Ultimate Team. Read every displayed requirement, reward and expiry detail. Make sure you are looking at the correct challenge and edition.
- Compare the proposed squad with the live requirements. Check each condition, including rating, chemistry, quality, league, nation, club or special-item rules that the challenge displays.
- Look in your club and SBC Storage first. EA advises checking items you already own before obtaining more players. If you still need items, consult the Transfer Market. EA’s SBC guide
- Check prices for your platform immediately before buying. EA says the average coin price of a Transfer Market item fluctuates with demand, so an earlier community estimate is not a guaranteed current cost. FUTBIN provides platform-specific cost sorting, but treat displayed estimates as time-sensitive. EA’s Transfer Market guide · FUTBIN
- Recheck the squad after substitutions. Replacing even one player can affect rating, chemistry or another requirement. Confirm the full squad still qualifies in the game.
- Inspect every item before confirming submission. Make sure you are willing to lose each selected player permanently.
How to compare multiple solutions
There is no universal cheapest or best solution: the answer depends on the active challenge, your platform, what you already own and market prices at the time you build the squad. Compare options using the same practical checks:
