EA Sports has officially launched the FC 26 Matthieu Udol Unbreakables SBC in Ultimate Team, adding a new defensive option to the ongoing Unbreakables promo. The French defender has been rewarded with an 86-rated special item that reflects both his resilience and his rise within Ligue 1. As the Unbreakables event highlights footballers who overcame major obstacles during their careers, Udol's inclusion feels especially fitting.

 

The RC Lens defender's journey has been anything but smooth. Early in his career, multiple anterior cruciate ligament injuries threatened to end his professional ambitions before they truly began. Instead of fading away, Udol fought through the setbacks, rebuilt his fitness, and eventually established himself as a reliable presence in France's top division. That perseverance has now translated into a boosted Ultimate Team card via this affordable Squad Building Challenge.

 

Unbreakables Promo Continues to Deliver Meaningful Content

 

The Unbreakables promo in FC 26 has stood out by focusing on inspiring personal stories rather than just headline names. Instead of purely meta superstars, EA Sports has introduced FC 26 Players who represent determination, recovery, and long-term growth. Matthieu Udol fits this theme perfectly, offering both narrative value and practical in-game usefulness.

 

While he may not be as instantly recognizable as elite defenders from top European clubs, his special item provides excellent value for players seeking dependable defensive depth without spending large amounts of FC 26 Coins. For newer Ultimate Team users or those building budget squads, this SBC represents one of the most accessible upgrades currently available.

 

FC 26 Matthieu Udol Unbreakables SBC Requirements

 

Much like the previously released Oleksandr Zinchenko Unbreakables SBC, Udol's challenge has been designed with affordability in mind. EA Sports requires just one squad to unlock the card, and the conditions are even more relaxed than earlier Unbreakables SBCs.

 

To complete the FC 26 Matthieu Udol Unbreakables SBC, players must submit a single squad with the following criteria:

 

Minimum France players: 1

 

Minimum Team of the Week players: 1

 

Minimum squad overall rating: 83

 

Total players in squad: 11

 

These requirements make the SBC extremely approachable, especially for players who regularly engage with weekly content and already have untradeable cards in their club.

 

Cheapest SBC Solutions on the Transfer Market

 

For those who prefer to purchase players outright, there are several low-cost options available to complete the SBC efficiently. The following cards represent some of the cheapest choices currently available on the transfer market to meet the rating and chemistry requirements:

 

Dali (83)

 

Artem Dovbyk (83)

 

Athenea (83)

 

van de Donk (83)

 

İlkay Gündoğan (83)

 

Kamara (83)

 

Emiliano Buendía (Team of the Week, 83)

 

Dejan Kulusevski (83)

 

Cerci (83)

 

Hendrich (82)

 

Eriksson (82)

 

The only factor slightly increasing the overall cost is the inclusion of a Team of the Week player. However, even with this requirement, the SBC remains extremely cheap compared to most promotional challenges released in FC 26.

 

Overall Cost and Value Assessment

 

The FC 26 Matthieu Udol Unbreakables SBC is expected to cost approximately 19,000 FC 26 Coins, depending on market fluctuations. At that price point, it offers outstanding value, especially considering the player's rating, nationality, and positional versatility.

 

An 86-rated French defender for under 20k is rare in Ultimate Team, particularly during a live promo. This makes Udol an appealing option for Ligue 1 squads, French hybrid teams, or anyone looking to strengthen their defense without committing major resources.

 

In-Game Performance and PlayStyles

 

On the virtual pitch, Udol provides solid all-around defensive performance. He boasts respectable pace and strong defensive attributes, allowing him to hold his own against faster attackers. One of the standout features of this card is its PlayStyle selection, which includes:

 

Jockey+

 

Anticipate

 

Block

 

Pinged Pass

 

These PlayStyles enhance his defensive reliability and distribution, making him effective both in one-on-one situations and when building play from the back. Additionally, Udol's ability to play as both a center-back and a left-back adds valuable flexibility to squad building.

 

Evolution Potential Adds Long-Term Appeal

 

Another major advantage of this card is its relatively low overall rating. Because he is rated 86, Udol is likely to be eligible for multiple Evolutions in the future. These upgrades could significantly improve his pace, physicality, or technical traits, turning him into an even more competitive option later in the game cycle.

 

For Ultimate Team managers who enjoy long-term squad planning, this makes Udol a smart investment among FC 26 Players, especially for those who prioritize adaptability and progression.

 

Final Verdict

 

The FC 26 Matthieu Udol Unbreakables SBC stands out as one of the best value SBCs released so far during the Unbreakables promo. With a low cost, simple requirements, strong PlayStyles, and future Evolution potential, it offers far more than its modest price suggests.

 

For players looking to strengthen their defense without draining their supply of FC 26 Coins, this SBC is an easy recommendation and a fitting tribute to a footballer whose career embodies resilience and determination.
