A 96-rated FUTTIES Striker for under 31,000 coins — Bárbara López's FUTTIES SBC is one of the most efficient value plays of the Season 9 promo. The Spanish forward from Madrid CFF lands in FUT with 99 PHY overall (anchored by 99 Jumping, 99 Strength, and 99 Aggression), 96 PAC, 5-star skill moves, and a 4-star weak foot. It's a single-squad SBC, it expires August 4, 2026, and you only have seven days to lock it in.
This guide covers the exact requirements, the cheapest way to complete it, her full stat breakdown, and an honest verdict on whether she belongs in your squad.
Quick answer: Bárbara López FUTTIES is a 96-rated ST (Liga F, Madrid CFF, Spain) available as a single-squad SBC costing approximately 30,000–36,000 coins depending on platform. Requirements: one 89-rated squad with at least one Spanish player and one TOTW or equivalent premium card. Card is untradeable. Expires August 4, 2026. At this price point it is exceptional value for a 99-PHY, 5-star-skill FUTTIES striker.

What Are the Bárbara López FUTTIES SBC Requirements?
EA released the Bárbara López FUTTIES SBC on July 28, 2026. There is only one squad challenge to complete:
| Requirement | Value |
|---|---|
| Squad Rating | Min. 89 OVR |
| Spain Players | Min. 1 |
| Special Card | Min. 1 (TOTW, TOTS, FUTTIES, or any promo card from your club) |
| Squad Chemistry | Standard (typically 25–30) |
| Reward | 96-rated FUTTIES Bárbara López (untradeable) |
| Expires | August 4, 2026 |
The "special card" requirement accepts any premium promo item — a cheap TOTW, a Bronze TOTW from the squad battles pool, or any TOTS/FUTTIES card (or a legacy FoF card still sitting in your club) works. You do not need a high-rated TOTW, just any TOTW item in your squad.
One Spain player is easy to satisfy without blowing the budget. Liga F has a large pool of inexpensive rated Spanish cards. Even a 79-rated Spanish player from a common pack pull satisfies the requirement; she just needs to be in the starting XI. Stuck on coins to complete this SBC? See our EA FC 26 coins service.
How Much Does the Bárbara López SBC Cost?
Estimated coin cost based on live market data at time of release (July 28–29, 2026):
| Platform | Estimated Cost |
|---|---|
| PlayStation / Xbox | ~30,950 coins |
| PC | ~35,600 coins |
These figures are based on live market pricing shortly after the SBC dropped. Coin prices will decrease over the 7-day window as more fodder floods the market from FUTTIES promo packs and other promos. If you have stockpiled untradeable fodder or duplicate promo cards from Token Store packs, your out-of-pocket cost could be effectively 0.
Pro tip: An 89-rated squad with one Spain player and one TOTW card is genuinely cheap to assemble. Build around the Spain player requirement first — Liga F cards bond well with each other chemically — then add your cheapest TOTW item in any position to tick the special-card box.
Bárbara López FUTTIES: Full Stats Breakdown
Bárbara López's FUTTIES card in EA FC 26 carries these base ratings:
| Attribute | Rating |
|---|---|
| PAC | 96 |
| SHO | 94 |
| PAS | 90 |
| DRI | 94 |
| DEF | 56 |
| PHY | 99 |
Pace sub-stats: Acceleration 95 · Sprint Speed 96 Shooting sub-stats: Att. Positioning 95 · Finishing 96 · Shot Power 94 · Long Shots 93 Passing sub-stats: Vision 94 · Crossing 90 · Short Passing 94 · Curve 93 Dribbling sub-stats: Agility 94 · Balance 95 · Ball Control 94 · Reactions 90 · Composure 90 Physical sub-stats: Jumping 99 · Strength 99 · Aggression 99 and high Stamina (full breakdown on FUT.GG)
AcceleRATE type: Listed as Controlled on FUT.GG at time of publication — verify in-game as the final card data may differ. For chemistry purposes, if she is Controlled, a Finesse Shot or Trickster PlayStyle chem sticker pairs well: Controlled players reward technical dribbling boosts over strength-based engine builds. If Explosive, prioritise Pace-boosting chemistry stickers instead.
Why Does 99 PHY Matter So Much?
A Striker with 99 PHY anchored by 99 Jumping, 99 Strength, and 99 Aggression is near-impossible to muscle off the ball and tireless deep into matches. Many 97-rated FUTTIES attackers carry inflated headline PHY driven by a high Jumping score alone while Strength sits in the 80s. Bárbara López's 99 Strength means she wins every shoulder-to-shoulder duel in the box — a rare combination at the Striker position.
That physical profile combined with 5-star skill moves makes her viable across multiple meta formations: through-ball receipt into a skill beat, layoff with physicality, or direct drive to goal. Very few meta strikers in Season 9 FUTTIES combine 99 PHY with 5★SM; most trade one for the other.
EA's Season 9 Pitch Notes position the FUTTIES promo around the best players from the entire year of FC 26 across all positions — and the Bárbara López card reflects that endgame framing with stats that match or exceed most 97-rated FUTTIES cards on the market.
Who Is Bárbara López in Real Life?
Bárbara López Gorrado (born August 30, 2005) is a 20-year-old Spanish striker playing for Madrid CFF in Liga F, Spain's top-flight women's league. Despite modest 2025-26 domestic output (2 goals in 406 minutes), she broke through at international level as part of Spain's UEFA European Under-19 Championship-winning squad in Lithuania — the achievement that earned her FUTTIES recognition in EA FC 26.
Her base card in the game was a 68 OVR. The FUTTIES version is a 96 OVR. That 28-point gap represents EA's interpretation of her ceiling as a generational talent: explosive, physically dominant, technically gifted at just 20 years old. It also reflects the way FUTTIES has always worked — rewarding potential and impact over current domestic statistics.
Is the Bárbara López FUTTIES SBC Worth It?
Yes, at under 36,000 coins, this is unambiguous value. The numbers make the decision easy:
- The 1-of-4 95+ FUTTIES T1 Player Pick SBC — which gives you a chance at a 95+ FUTTIES card — costs significantly more in fodder than this single-squad challenge. Bárbara López is a confirmed 96-rated card at a fraction of that cost.
- At this price point she competes with cards you'd expect to cost 150,000+ on the transfer market if she were tradeable.
- 5-star skill moves at 96 OVR ST is a rare combination. Most workable meta strikers at this rating settle for 3-star or 4-star skills.
- 99 PHY (sub-stat breakdown in the stats section above) means she holds up physically against the best defenders in the game.
- 94 Finishing + 95 Att. Positioning = clinical in the box.
Who should skip it? Players who are conserving fodder for FUTTIES Team 2 (confirmed July 31) may want to wait and see what SBCs drop then. But at this price, skipping over a 96-rated 99-PHY striker requires a specific reason — saving 31,000 coins for an uncertain future SBC is not one.

How Does She Fit in a Team?
Bárbara López plays best as a lone ST or in a 2-striker setup where her physical dominance and technical ability complement a faster build-up partner. Recommended use:
- Formations: 4-2-3-1, 4-3-3 (4), 4-1-2-1-2 (wide)
- Role: False 9, Advanced Forward (CF target), or Classic Striker (hold-up + clinical finish)
- Chemistry links: Liga F players bond naturally with her Spanish nationality. Good bridge options include Athenea del Castillo (Liga F/Spain), Alexia Putellas (if you have a high-rated card), or any other Spanish Liga F player to anchor a chemistry chain. For a hybrid squad, shared nationality (Spanish players from any league) or shared league (any Liga F player) are your two linking routes.
Her Controlled AcceleRATE rewards agility-boosting PlayStyles. Pair with Finesse Shot (for clinical long-range and curled efforts), Trickster (5★SM utility), or Direct (straightforward forward runs). The Token Store's weekly PlayStyle Evo consumables (available every Friday) are a natural way to upgrade her. See our EA FC 26 FUTTIES Token Store guide for what's currently available.
Get Your Coins Ready — FUTTIES Team 2 Drops July 31
FUTTIES Team 2 is expected around July 31, 2026, bringing a new wave of high-rated FUTTIES cards to packs and SBCs. The Team 2 squad has not yet been officially announced by EA. That drop will push the transfer market to react: prices on 84/85-rated fodder may spike briefly around the release. If you want to complete the Bárbara López SBC this week, completing it in the next 48 hours at current fodder prices is the safer play.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Bárbara López FUTTIES card tradeable? No — the card is untradeable. You receive it directly into your club after completing the SBC and cannot sell it on the transfer market.
When does the Bárbara López FUTTIES SBC expire? The SBC expires on August 4, 2026. You have approximately 7 days from its July 28 release date to complete it.
How many squads do I need for the Bárbara López SBC? Just one. The SBC requires a single squad rated at least 89 OVR, with one Spanish player and one TOTW or equivalent premium card in the XI.
Can I use a cheap TOTW to satisfy the special card requirement? Yes. Any TOTW item — including lower-rated TOTW bronze players — satisfies the special card requirement. A Bronze or Silver TOTW from your SBC fodder pile is enough.
What is Bárbara López's AcceleRATE type in EA FC 26? FUT.GG lists her AcceleRATE as Controlled — verify in-game once you have the card, as the live data may differ. If Controlled, Finesse Shot and Trickster are effective chemistry sticker choices. If Explosive, prioritise Pace-boosting or Dribbling PlayStyles instead.
Is she worth completing over saving coins for FUTTIES Team 2? At approximately 31,000 coins on console, yes — she is one of the cheapest confirmed 96-rated strikers in the FUTTIES promo. Team 2 will bring new options but at expected higher SBC costs. There is limited overlap risk unless Team 2 drops another sub-31k ST SBC, which is unlikely.
