FC 26 Joga Bonito Promo & Lucas Paqueta SBC Tips Guide

Select Language:

The FC 26 Joga Bonito promotion adds another new campaign to the lineup. Its goal is to bring a lively samba vibe to EA FC 26 with the introduction of new Heroes such as Pablo Aimar, Ricardo Quaresma, and Louisa Necib. Also featured are current stars like Cole Palmer and Aitana Bonmati, who receive upgrades for this promo. Every player awarded a Joga Bonito card gets a 5-star Skill Moves boost. You can check out the complete list of cards at the end of your FC 26 Joga Bonito guide.

FC 26 Joga Bonito Team 1 was released on Friday, December 5. Unlike the ongoing FC 26 FC Pro Live Tracker, these cards aren’t eligible for upgrades. Still, there’s plenty of exciting content to pursue, including the three Hero cards mentioned earlier, along with David Ginola (LW, Ligue 1, 90) and Maicon (RB, Serie A, 89). Bonmati and Palmer are among the latest top-tier players, while Vitinha’s new card (CM, Paris Saint-Germain, 91) is currently selling for around 2.8 million coins during the first weekend of the promo. That’s a pretty impressive find if you manage to pack it.

As for Team 2 of the Joga Bonito series, there’s no official release date yet. December is expected to be a busy month for FC 26 promos, including the big FC 26 Futmas event. Keep an eye out around Friday, December 12, for updates on what’s next. Meanwhile, for a different gaming experience, you can check out our FC 26 career mode guide.

The first FC 26 Joga Bonito SBC features Lucas Paqueta, a talented West Ham and Brazil player known for his flair. To earn an 87-rated card, you need to complete five Squad Building Challenges. The list of challenges below is a bit repetitive — the last two are the same — and the set costs approximately 314,000 coins as of Saturday, December 6.
