EA Sports has launched the highly anticipated Ratings Reload promo for FC 26 Ultimate Team, featuring upgraded special cards for players the community believes deserved higher base ratings. Team 1 includes stars like Julian Alvarez, Michael Olise, and more, offering meta-defining options that could reshape competitive squads.
EA FC 26 Ratings Reload: Top Players & Ratings
The promo releases campaign cards themed around players who deserve higher base ratings according to the community. Here are the standout cards from Team 1:
| Player | Position | Rating | Key Stats | Club |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Julian Alvarez | ST | 88 | Complete striker profile | Atlético Madrid |
| Michael Olise | RW | 87 | Elite dribbling, creativity | Bayern Munich |
| Son Heung-min | LW | 89 | Explosive pace, finishing | Tottenham |
| Trinity Rodman | RW | 86 | 91 PAC, rapid wide play | Washington Spirit |
| Arda Guler | CAM | 86 | 88 DRI, 87 PAS | Real Madrid |
| Malick Diouf | LB | 86 | 91 PAC, 88 PHY | Slavia Prague |
Why These Cards Are Meta-Changing
Between Alvarez’s complete striker profile, Olise’s electrifying creativity, and Rodman’s rapid wide play, this lineup is loaded with usable cards that rival mid-tier specials. Alvarez stands at 170cm with 4-star weak foot and skill moves, making him an agile and versatile attacking option.
With cards like Alvarez, Olise, and Rodman receiving elite dribbling and pace stats, several base golds are already falling in price. Expect significant market fluctuations as Weekend League squads adjust to incorporate these new meta cards.
Son Heung-min’s 89-rated card offers explosive pace combined with clinical finishing, perfect for players seeking a reliable left-wing option. Trinity Rodman’s 91 pace makes her one of the fastest players in the game, ideal for counter-attacking strategies.
Additional cards are available through Squad Building Challenges and objectives, including Matias Soule’s 83-rated objective card. Every promo player’s base card will continue to have the same rating, with upgraded attributes only handed to their special promo cards.
The promo launched on October 10, 2025, following the Cornerstones campaign. For more EA FC 26 content and gaming guides, visit Tech2Sports and check EA’s official FC 26 page for updates.
