EA FC 26 Loic Bade Joga Bonito SBC: All tasks and cheapest solutions
EA Sports is continuing the Joga Bonito initiative in EA FC 26 Ultimate Team, adding Loic Bade as a new centerpiece-back option. The French defender, currently in the Bundesliga, arrives with a boosted overall and a toolkit of defensive traits that can anchor modern backlines.
What the SBC offers
The Loic Bade Joga Bonito SBC follows the pattern of other promo drops, requiring players to complete several squad-building challenges. The market estimate for completing the set sits around 65,000 coins, presenting a valuable package for an 86-rated French defender who brings solid defensive presence and strong all-around stats to the back line.
Key attributes and meta fit
- Nationality/Club: France / Bundesliga
- Overall rating: 86
- Position: Center-back
- PlayStyles granted in-game: Anticipate, Intercept, Slide Tackle, Aerial Fortress, Pinged Pass and Jockey
These PlayStyles enhance Bade’s ability to read plays, win Key duels, and contribute to ball progression from the defensive third. The combination makes him a credible option for squads built around Bundesliga or French contingents in FUT.
Why he stands out in current meta
Beyond raw defending numbers, Bade’s kit equips him to handle typical backline scenarios today—recovering quickly, challenging aerials, and supporting structured build-up from the back. The named PlayStyles help balance containment with calculated ball distribution, which is especially useful when facing high-press formations or possession-based setups.
How to approach completing the SBC
As with similar promo challenges, the cheapest path typically involves a mix of affordable Bundesliga pieces and linked players from nearby leagues or nations. Expect market fluctuations, so it pays to monitor prices and scout for favorable links that shorten travel between required squads. While exact segment requirements vary, budgeting roughly 65k coins is a practical target for most squads aiming to secure Bade without overspending.
Bottom line
Loic Bade’s Joga Bonito incarnation gives FUT builders a dependable defensive anchor at a mid-range cost. With a strong rating, robust defensive stats, and a well-rounded set of PlayStyles, he suits squads focusing on Bundesliga or French player pools. For players seeking a reliable centre-back that can contribute to both defense and progression, Bade represents a sensible value choice in the current iteration of Ultimate Team.
