Our Top 4 Stand-Outs From Team 2 of FUT Birthday in FC 26
92-OVR Paul Pogba
It’s always a good time in FC/FIFA when Pogba gets a new card. After a long absence because of his real-life ban, he’s finally back in FC 26, and he’s the main headliner for FUT Birthday Team 2. His card has 88 Pace, 90 Shooting, 92 Passing, 92 Dribbling, 85 Defending, and 91 Physicality. He’s a colossus in midfield with perfect stats all around, and well-worth his 3m price tag if you know just how good Pogba plays in-game, especially with stats like that.
Put Intercept+ and Pinged Pass+ on him to make him a perfect progressor or deep playmaker, which is his best role. Then give him Press Proven, Tiki Taka, Long Ball, Incisive, Finesse, Bruiser, Quick Step, and either Anticipate or Technical depending on what you prefer. He’ll be great at both defending and attacking, and play as close to the real Pogba as you’d like.
92-OVR Claudia Pina
Of course Pina finally has another card in packs, and of course it’s one of the best ones available like all her other cards at the time. Like all other FUT Birthday cards, she has 5✰5✰ and you can put Rapid+ and Finesse+ on her if you plan to use her as a LW, or Finesse+ and Low Driven+ if you plan to use her as a ST. With 90 Pace, 93 Shooting, 90 Passing, 92 Dribbling, and 83 Physicality, she’s good enough for both positions.
Add base Rapid or Low Driven depending on which one you made gold and then give her the rest of her Playstyles. We recommend Technical, Press Proven, Quick Step, Gamechanger, Incisive, Tiki Taka, and First Touch. These Playstyles along with her busted animations make Pina a steal for that 2m price tag, since she’s easily one of the most broken strikers in the game.
92-OVR Pedri
Another Barca player headlining Team 2, this time from the men’s squad, is Pedri. He’s worth 1.8m coins and is a great playmaker with his body type as well as stats like 88 Pace, 90 Shooting, 91 Passing, 93 Dribbling, 85 Defending, and 85 Physicality. If you use him as a CAM, give him Finesse+ and Incisive+. But if you use him as a CM, which is our recommendation, give him Intercept+ and Incisive+ instead.
Add base Finesse or Intercept accordingly. Then give him Tiki Taka, Long Ball, Pinged Pass, Inventive, Press Proven, Technical, and Quick Step. These are all perfect for his stats and to help him progress play from midfield. With his stats and all these meta Playstyles, he’ll glide past players and create for your attacking line with pinpoint passes every time.
91-OVR Antonio Rüdiger
It’s a tough choice between Dybala and Rüdiger for the 4th-place spot, but Rüdiger edges it because of how great his stats (88 Pace, 91 Defending, and 92 Physicality), body type, and animations are for defence. That, as well as the fact that he only costs 370k makes him a must-have if you want a defender in your team. Start off by giving him Intercept+ and Bruiser+, which is the best combo a CB can have in the current meta.
Then add all the other defensive Playstyles like Anticipate, Slide Tackle, Jockey, Block, and Aerial Fortress. Then give him Quick Step, which is meta in any position but especially CB for those quick recoveries. Make his last two Playstyles Pinged Pass for quick counters or playing out the back, and either Tiki Taka or Long Ball. That’s as perfect as a CB can get! Get Rüdiger or any FC 26 players, including the new Icons and Heroes, through LootBar.
Conclusion
FUT Birthday this year was filled with amazing cards like Pogba, Ronaldo, and the others. But, even the more affordable cards like Rüdiger and Yıldız are great because you can give them the best possible Playstyles, which is huge. Buy FC 26 coins from LootBar to have enough for any of them and evo them exactly the way you want while FUT Birthday players are still in packs.
