With new SBCs being added every day to FC 26, fodder cards have become a rare commodity. Even though they are frequently thought of as lower-value cards, they are a premium possession for SBCs, as they can make otherwise unaffordable SBCs affordable and sometimes even quite cheap to complete.
In this guide, we go over the best fodder cards in FC 26 to make it much easier and cheaper to complete all the upcoming SBCs.
What Are Fodder Cards & Why Are They Useful?
Fodder cards are cards that you simply don't use. Not on your starting eleven or coming off the bench. They will often remain in your inventory indefinitely, unless removed. Thankfully, FC 26 has Squad Building Challenges (SBCs), where you can use these cards.
To complete SBCs, you must trade in cards that meet certain requirements in return for a higher-value card or a pack. These fodder cards allow you to finish SBCs, especially the more expensive ones, without disrupting your main squad and without having to spend thousands of coins. So, SBCs become easier to complete and cheaper to do so.
