TLDR: The Julio César Enciso Unbreakables SBC dropped today (August 27) and costs roughly 44,850 coins on PS/Xbox — among the cheapest 98 OVR deals in the Pre-Season window. Two short challenges (86-rated + 87-rated), non-repeatable, expires approximately September 2 (check the in-game timer). With FC 27 early access not until September 18, there's real game time left to enjoy this 5★/5★ Explosive CAM. Verdict: worth completing if you have leftover TOTS or FOF fodder — hard to find a cheaper 98 at this stage of the cycle.
Julio César Enciso just got one more send-off in EA FC 26. The Paraguayan's Unbreakables 98 OVR CAM landed in Squad Building Challenges today as part of the Pre-Season content calendar — and at roughly 44,850 coins on console, it undercuts most other 98-rated SBCs still live in the game.
This guide covers his exact stats, both SBC requirements, the cheapest solution approach, how he stacks up against other meta CAMs, and an honest take on whether the spend is justified heading into the final weeks of FC 26.

What Are Enciso's Stats on the Unbreakables Card?
Enciso's Unbreakables version is a Central Attacking Midfielder at Ipswich Town (his summer 2026 Premier League move), with alternate positions at RM, CM, LM, and ST. He carries 5-star skill moves and 5-star weak foot — a genuine late-cycle all-rounder for any formation.
| Attribute | Rating | Standout sub-stats |
|---|---|---|
| PAC | 97 | Acceleration 98, Sprint Speed 96 |
| SHO | 96 | Long Shots 99, Finishing 97, Shot Power 98 |
| PAS | 95 | Vision 96, Short Pass 96, Crossing 94 |
| DRI | 98 | Agility 98, Balance 98, Dribbling 98 |
| DEF | 63 | Defensive Awareness 53 |
| PHY | 85 | Stamina 97, Aggression 95 |
AcceleRATE: Explosive Skill moves / Weak foot: 5★ / 5★ PlayStyles: Technical, Rapid Club: Ipswich Town (Premier League) · Nation: Paraguay Alternate positions: RM, CM, LM, ST
The long shots 99 sub-stat is the headline number. Paired with Explosive AcceleRATE and the Technical PlayStyle, Enciso can punish any defense from range — and the stamina 97 means he stays dangerous through 90 minutes of Weekend League grinding.
"Earn a special Unbreakables Julio César Enciso." — EA Sports FC 26 SBC description (August 27, 2026)
What Are the SBC Requirements for Enciso Unbreakables?
The two-challenge structure is deliberately accessible — designed around Enciso's Premier League identity and easier than the heavy multi-segment SBCs like Vitinha or Leão that ran earlier in the cycle.
Challenge 1 — Premier League
| Requirement | Detail |
|---|---|
| Min. Players from Premier League | 1 |
| Min. Players (TOTW/TOTS/FOF) | 1 |
| Min. Team Rating | 86 |
| Reward | 1× Gold Pack (untradeable) |
An 86-rated squad built from a mix of 86-87 rare golds, with one TOTS or FOF card slotted in for the special requirement, clears this comfortably. Untradeable TOTS or FOF cards already sitting in your club from the summer carry promos cover the special requirement at no extra cost.
Note: TOTW is no longer live in EA FC 26 (the final TOTW was TOTW 30 in April 2026). If you have TOTW cards banked from earlier in the cycle, those still satisfy this slot — but you cannot earn fresh TOTW cards through Rivals or packs in Pre-Season.
Challenge 2 — Top Form
| Requirement | Detail |
|---|---|
| Min. Players (TOTW/TOTS/FOF) | 1 |
| Min. Team Rating | 87 |
| Reward | 1× Premium Gold Pack (untradeable) |
One step up — an 87-rated build. If your TOTS or FOF card from Challenge 1 was untradeable, it is spent there. Budget for one additional TOTS or FOF card for this challenge — or check your club for any remaining summer-promo untradeables.
Combined FUTBIN SBC set price: approximately 44,850 coins on PS/Xbox · 47,850 on PC (live August 27, 2026 — check FUTBIN's SBC page for the latest estimate as fodder prices shift over the next 24 hours).
Is the Enciso Unbreakables SBC Worth Completing?
Yes — if you have 45k+ in fodder or coins and any play sessions left before September 24. Here's the honest breakdown:
Complete it if:
- You play CAM, RM, or ST and want a genuine 5★/5★ Explosive card for the final weeks
- You have untradeable TOTS or FOF cards sitting unused in your club
- You're still grinding Rivals or Champions — EA FC 26 runs until September 24, 2026
- You want the highest-rated Enciso card ever released (98 OVR beats his previous 95 FOF peak)
Skip it if:
- You've already stopped playing and are waiting for FC 27 early access (September 18) or the global launch (September 25)
- You're saving coins specifically for day-one market opportunities in FC 27
- You already have an Enciso through Evolutions that performs at a comparable level
The "FC 27 is coming" argument cuts both ways. Season 10 runs until September 24 — that's nearly four weeks of Division Rivals and FUT Champions still ahead. A 98 OVR Explosive CAM with 5★/5★ is a serious upgrade for anyone still pushing Elite, and at ~44,850 it is one of the cheapest paths to a near-perfect attacking midfielder in the game right now.
What Is the Cheapest Way to Complete the Enciso SBC?
Minimizing cost comes down to maximizing the untradeables already in your club:
- Start with your club. Check for any TOTS or FOF cards — specifically from promos like Festival of Football, Team of the Season, or Ultimate Rewind — that satisfy the TOTW/TOTS/FOF slot in both challenges. These cost nothing extra if you already own them untradeable.
- Budget one TOTS or FOF card for Challenge 2. The cheapest TOTS cards in the current market tend to sit in the 8,000–15,000 coin range for lower-rated or less popular players. One card covers Challenge 2 if you didn't have untradeables for it.
- Use a rating-combination tool for your squads. For an 86-rated squad (Challenge 1) and an 87-rated squad (Challenge 2), mix a few 88s in with 87-rated rares to hit the threshold cleanly. Over-building with high-rated fodder is the most common way to overspend.
- Use the PL requirement strategically. Enciso is at Ipswich Town (Premier League). For Challenge 1, any PL player satisfies the requirement — use the cheapest Ipswich or lower-mid-table PL rare you have in your club, or pick one up from the market for under 1,000 coins.

How Does Enciso Unbreakables Compare to Other Meta CAMs?
At 98 OVR and ~44,850 coins, Enciso sits in a competitive position at the attacking midfielder spot. Here's how he compares to other Explosive and high-dribbling options available in Pre-Season:
| Card | OVR | AcceleRATE | 5★/5★ | Estimated cost | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Enciso Unbreakables | 98 | Explosive | ✅ | ~44,850 (SBC) | Best value |
| Chris Richards | 98 | Aerial | ❌ | ~70,000 (SBC) | CB only, different role |
| Enciso FOF (earlier) | 95 | Explosive | ✅ | Transfer market | Outclassed by Unbreakables |
The Explosive AcceleRATE combined with 5★/5★ is increasingly rare at the 44,850 price point late in the cycle. Most budget Explosive options have already been spent on earlier SBCs or are sitting tied up in Evo paths. For a CAM who needs to win 1v1s in Elite Division on the counter, Enciso's 98 DRI with 98 Agility and Balance is class-defining.
The DRI 98 advantage matters most in tight spaces — competitive Division Rivals and Champions matches are won in the half-spaces where agility beats pace. Enciso's 5★ skill moves give you the toolset to beat any press, and the Explosive AcceleRATE means he accelerates through gaps that Controlled or Lengthy defenders simply can't recover on.
His relative weakness is DEF 63 — in a CAM role this is acceptable, but if you're building a high-press 4-3-3 where the CAM tracks back, a more defensive-oriented card may suit that shape better.
Where Should You Play Enciso Unbreakables?
His natural home is CAM in a 4-2-3-1 or 4-1-2-1-2, where Explosive AcceleRATE and 5★ skill moves create constant danger in the final third. At 98 DRI with Agility 98 and Balance 98, he wins every 1v1; at 97 PAC with Explosive, he bursts through gaps behind the backline.
As an ST: Finishing 97 with Explosive makes him credible as a secondary striker in a 4-3-3. The 85 PHY can be challenged by bulky 99-rated CBs in Elite, but his balance and composure compensate on most contact situations.
As an RM or LM: 5★/5★ in a wide role is a nightmare on the counter. The Technical PlayStyle helps with precision dribbling into the box, while Rapid boosts his overall speed output in a direct channel.
Chemistry style: Hunter (PAC ↑, SHO ↑) is the default recommendation — pushes an already elite sprint speed and shot power further into the top bracket. Marksman works if you prioritize shooting and physical presence over raw pace. With the Technical PlayStyle pre-installed, you can experiment without sacrificing his primary dribbling identity.
Chemistry links: As an Ipswich Town player (Premier League), Enciso links to any PL player with full chemistry. Paraguay links are thinner in the current meta but there are FOF and Completionist options if you want to build a thematic squad.

FAQ
When does the Enciso Unbreakables SBC expire? Based on EA's typical schedule for two-challenge Pre-Season SBCs, the Enciso SBC is expected to expire approximately September 2, 2026 — roughly six days after its August 27 release. Always check the in-game SBC timer for the exact confirmed date.
Is the Enciso Unbreakables SBC repeatable? No. EA Sports FC 26's SBC page confirms this is a non-repeatable challenge — you can only earn one Unbreakables Enciso per account.
What PlayStyles does Enciso Unbreakables have? FUT.GG lists Technical and Rapid as his PlayStyles on the Unbreakables card. Unlike FUTTIES cards (which launch with zero PlayStyles), Unbreakables cards can come with pre-installed PlayStyles.
Can I use Enciso in FC 27? No. FC 26 items do not transfer to FC 27. All progress, cards, and coins remain in FC 26 and reset at launch. However, Pre-Season Objectives do reward packs and coins that carry over to FC 27 — completing those alongside the SBC gives you the best end-of-cycle value. See the full carryover table in EA's Season 10 Pitch Notes at ea.com.
Is it better to buy Enciso from the transfer market or complete the SBC? If the card is available on the transfer market at approximately 44,850 coins (PS/Xbox), both routes cost roughly the same in coins. The SBC route also rewards a Gold Pack and a Premium Gold Pack on top — making SBC completion slightly better value, since those packs either contain usable fodder or sell for additional coin value.
Do TOTW cards work for the SBC special requirement? Yes — TOTW cards satisfy the TOTW/TOTS/FOF requirement on both challenges. However, TOTW is no longer live in EA FC 26 (the final TOTW was TOTW 30, April 2026), so you'll need TOTW cards already in your club. TOTS and FOF cards — including summer promo untradeables — also satisfy the special slot and are more readily available at this stage of the cycle.
