Kylian Mbappe had a stunning month in La Liga scoring 8 goals in just 7 matches and displaying flashes of brilliance we saw at PSG. He has really taken well to Xabi Alonso’s new system and this has seen him earn the La Liga player of the month award. According to reliable sources, the French forward is set to receive a La Liga Player of the Month SBC for FC 26, with a potential release as early as tomorrow.
The leaked card displays Mbappé with a 92 overall rating, featuring boosted stats including 97 pace, 91 shooting, and 93 dribbling. For players running Spanish league squads, this could mean a potentially meta breaking card is on the horizon, offering a significant upgrade to one of the game’s most sought after players. The leak comes from FUT Police Leaks, a well-established source within the Ultimate Team community known for accurate predictions.
The announcement hasn’t been universally celebrated. The FIFA/FC community has developed a love-hate relationship with high-profile Player of the Month SBCs, particularly those featuring premium players like MbappE. Past iterations have sparked considerable debate over value and accessibility. Recent Mbappé special cards have drawn criticism for their astronomical costs. Kylian Mbappé’s standard gold card is priced above 3.5 million coins, which many in the community deemed insanely expensive, especially considering the lack of key PlayStyles+.
The SBC requirements have historically stirred frustration among players, primarily due to high rating demands, with many feeling the hefty cost and effort needed to secure the card outweighs the benefits.
If Mbappé wins the award, his SBC is expected to be a luxury item for big spenders, potentially pricing out casual and mid-tier players. This has reignited discussions about accessibility in Ultimate Team, with some arguing that Player of the Month cards should be attainable rewards rather than exclusive content for elite players or those willing to spend significant resources. He is likely to cost more than his gold card and could see his SBC cost north of 4 million coins.

For those invested in La Liga builds, the potential Mbappe POTM represents both opportunity and challenge. His inclusion could elevate Spanish league teams to new competitive heights, but only for those with the coin balance or fodder to complete what’s expected to be an extremely expensive SBC. The card would provide excellent chemistry links with other Real Madrid and French players, making it a natural fit for hybrid squads
As the EA FC 26 community awaits official confirmation and pricing details, the debate continues. Will EA Sports learn from past controversies and price the SBC more reasonably? Most likely not as the recent Hero SBC was very difficult to do and this POTM is way more ‘meta’.
