FC 26 Greats of the Game Team 2 — Luis Figo Icon SBC, Football Royalty Objective & Hero Evolution Guide (June 20, 2026)

FC 26 Greats of the Game Team 2 — Luis Figo Icon SBC, Football Royalty Objective & Hero Evolution Guide (June 20, 2026)

Short answer: Greats of the Game Team 2 dropped June 19 alongside three live content drops you should care about today — a Luis Figo Icon SBC at 96 OVR RW, a brand-new Football Royalty Objective campaign that hands out token rewards, and a Greats of the Game Hero Evolution path. Below: who's worth doing, what the fodder cost looks like, and the order to attack them.

What Just Dropped (Team 2 Live Content)

EA pushed the Team 2 wave on June 19 at the standard 6 PM UK time slot. The content that went live alongside Team 2 cards:

• Luis Figo — Greats of the Game ICON SBC (96 OVR RW) — buildable through a multi-segment SBC, full guide below.
• Greats of the Game: Football Royalty Objective — token-grind campaign with nationality-locked sub-objectives.
• Greats of the Game Hero Evolution — Evo path upgrading select Heroes into the Greats-tier card pool.
• Greats of the Game Challenge 1 SBC — single-segment warm-up SBC, easy fodder dump, gives a tradeable pack.
• 1 of 3 92+ TOTS Summer Nations, UEFA Winners or FOF PTG SBC — high-end pick SBC running alongside Team 2.

For context, Team 1 launched June 19 6 PM UK with R9 Ronaldo (97 ST), Zidane and seven other 94+ OVR Icons in the headline. Team 2's Figo at 96 RW is the marquee addition, with the rest of the Team 2 names rolling out across the next 5–7 days.

Luis Figo Icon SBC — Is It Worth Doing?

Verdict: yes if you run right-wing, no if you already have R9 or a 96+ ST locked. Figo at 96 OVR RW is genuinely meta — left-footed wide threat with Icon links that solve every chemistry headache on Portugal-based or hybrid Iberian squads.

The SBC structure (subject to change as EA tweaks segments live):

• Multi-segment build — expect 4–6 squads of escalating OVR requirements.
• Each segment locks an OVR floor (typically 82, 84, 85, 86, 87) plus chemistry and rare-card constraints.
• Total estimated fodder cost: ~1.5M–2.2M coins depending on how heavily you lean on Daily Login fodder, Throwback Marquee Matchups untradeable rewards, and previously stashed 86–88 rares.

The honest take: Figo is the kind of card you build when you already have 1.5M+ in fodder sitting in your club. If you're starting from a fresh Daily Login pile, save your fodder for the Team 2 reveals coming over the next 4 days — there may be a cheaper finisher Icon (Puskas, di Stefano-tier) drop where the same fodder gets you better positional value.

Football Royalty Objective — How To Grind It Fast

Football Royalty is a token-style campaign. Each sub-objective hands out progress tokens that unlock pack rewards and eventually loan Icons. The structure rewards squad flexibility over raw skill.

Confirmed sub-objective patterns:

• Play 5 matches in any Ultimate Team mode with min. 1 Icon player in your starting 11.
• Win 5 matches with min. 1 Hero player in your starting 11.
• Keep 4 clean sheets with min. 1 Italian defender in starting 11.
• Score 5 goals from outside the box with min. 1 Brazilian player in starting 11.
• Assist 6 goals via Through Ball passes in any Ultimate Team mode.

The grind strategy:

• Stack overlapping objectives into single matches. A Squad Battles match on World Class against a low-rated CPU lets you knock out the clean-sheet, Brazilian-player, and outside-the-box scoring sub-objectives in 6 minutes — three checkboxes per match instead of one.
• Hold a base Icon and base Hero loan on standby. Most accounts have at least one of each from previous Icon Pick rewards — slot them into the starting 11 for the first 5 matches, then bench them.
• Use Through Balls deliberately. The 6-Through-Ball assists is the friction point because the game's pass-priority logic won't auto-detect them — bind through ball to its own face button and consciously trigger 1–2 per match.

Total grind time: 90–150 minutes if you batch overlapping objectives. Solo grinding (one sub-objective per match) doubles it to 4+ hours.

Greats of the Game Hero Evolution — Who To Use

The GotG Hero Evolution upgrades a base Hero card into the Greats-tier pool with stat and PlayStyles+ boosts. Eligibility constraints typically lock the Evo to Heroes within a rating ceiling — verify the in-game requirements page before committing your card.

Picking the right Hero to Evo:

• Position scarcity matters more than rating. A 89 RW Hero is worth Evo'ing if your squad lacks right-wing options. A 92 CDM Hero is wasted if you already run a 92+ TOTS CDM.
• Verify PlayStyles+ in-game. The Evo announcement page lists generic upgrades — actual PlayStyles+ unlocks only show on the card preview after you commit. Don't burn the Evo on a card whose Evo'd PlayStyles+ you can't verify.
• Chemistry linkage. Heroes link to their nation and the leagues they played in — pick a Hero whose links solve a chemistry gap in your current build.

The Attack Order (My Recommended Sequence)

If you're a normal player without a 3M+ club, attack in this order:

• Day 1 (today): Burn 10 minutes on Greats of the Game Challenge 1 SBC — single squad dump, gives a tradeable pack. Net positive expected value.
• Day 1–2: Knock out Football Royalty Objective tokens. 90–150 minutes of focused play, gets you closer to loan Icons and pack rewards.
• Day 2–3: Wait for the rest of Team 2 reveals. Decide whether Figo (RW) or a future-revealed Icon at a different position fits your squad better. Hold fodder until you decide.
• Day 3–5: Commit to one Icon SBC. Figo if RW is your gap, otherwise wait.
• Day 5+: Hero Evolution after you've confirmed which base Hero is in your starting 11 long-term.

What I'd Skip

• The 1 of 3 92+ TOTS Summer Nations pick SBC if you don't already have ~600K spare coins burning a hole. The pick pool is wide, and the expected value math doesn't shake out unless you specifically need TOTS Summer Nations or PTG content.
• Force-grinding Football Royalty in one session. If you're getting frustrated, stop. The campaign runs long enough that you have a week+ to finish without burning out.
• Evo'ing a Hero you don't already use. Don't Evo for the sake of completion — that's how you end up with a 91 OVR CB you'll never put in the starting 11.

If you'd rather skip the SBC grind entirely on Figo or any other Greats of the Game Icon, the itemd2r SBC service ships completed Icon SBCs in 1–2 hours after launch. Same with FC 26 coins if you'd rather buy your fodder than grind it.

FAQ

How long is Team 2 live?
The Greats of the Game promo window runs through the end of June 26 for the headline rollout. Individual SBCs and Objectives typically expire 7 days after individual release.

Is Figo's Icon SBC repeatable?
Single completion only. Once submitted, the SBC closes for your account.

Does Football Royalty hand out a free Icon?
Loan Icons during the campaign window, plus pack rewards. A guaranteed permanent Icon at the end is unconfirmed at the time of writing — depends on whether you complete the full token chain.

Should I do Team 1 leftover SBCs first?
If they're still live and cheap, yes. R9 Ronaldo (97 ST) was the Team 1 headline and is widely cited as the highest-value Icon SBC of the promo so far.
