LA LIGA Player of the month KYLIAN MBAPPÉ SBC POTM Rating FC 26

FC26 fans, the SBC you've all been waiting for is finally here! Just this morning, EA dropped a bombshell on all players still in the early game grind – La Liga Player of the Month Kylian Mbappé, with his newly gold-plated 'Rapid' Playstyle, has officially landed in the SBC challenges!

LDShop has summarized his stats and based on his performance for your reference.

 

Briefly review

The first week of launch, 24 squads, over 4 million coins in cost – this isn't just an SBC, this is a love letter from EA to the heavy spenders, and a declaration of war to all free-to-play players!

But if we temporarily ignore the price tag and look at the card itself: 97 Pace, 182 custom-built strong model, 5-Star Skill Moves & Weak Foot, and that golden heart upgraded from 'Quick Step' to 'Rapid'... This isn't just a stat card; it's the 'official cheat code' for the early stage of FC26, the ultimate answer to instantly upgrade your frontline into a 'Galactic' force.

 

In-Depth Stats Data Analysis

Pace: The perfect combination of 97 Acceleration and 97 Sprint Speed, enhanced by the Gold 'Rapid' PlayStyle+, allows him to leave most defenders in the dust from the moment he starts his run. In testing, aside from a few pacey defenders like Van de Ven, most defensive players can only watch him disappear into the distance.

→ Shooting: The 91 Shooting stat, combined with the 'Finesse Shot', 'Power Shot', and 'Trivela' PlayStyles, makes him nearly unstoppable inside the box.

→ Passing: While the 82 Passing seems adequate. Testing shows through passes are decently accurate, but long switches and lofted through balls tend to float, so it's best to avoid using him as a primary playmaker.

→ Dribbling: 92 Agility combined with the 182 custom strong model creates a unique 'powerful yet agile' feel. While not as nimble as smaller players, it's top-tier among his physique type, and combined with 5-Star Skill Moves, it's a formidable package.

→ Defending: The 38 Defending stat is basically negligible.

→ Physicality: 76 Strength feels more impactful thanks to his custom body type. In testing, he can hold his own in physical duels with most center-backs. 83 Stamina coupled with low aggression is sufficient for a full 90 minutes.

 

PlayStyle Combo Deep Dive

The Gold 'Rapid' is undoubtedly the most standout upgrade on this card, producing devastating effects on counter-attacks. The Silver 'Finesse Shot' provides an option from outside the box, but its effectiveness is average due to the Curve limitation. The 'Technical' PlayStyle allows for acrobatic finishes in crowded defenses, and the 'First Touch' PlayStyle improves ball control upon reception.

 

Market Price & Crafting Strategy

The current cost of 4 million coins is indeed steep, primarily due to inflated fodder prices. Considering the resource scarcity in the early game, a three-step decision process is recommended:

Heavy Spenders: It's a no-brainer – craft it now for immediate impact.

Moderate Spenders: Consider completing the lower-rated squads first and wait for high-rated squad prices to drop before continuing.

Free-to-Play Players: It's advisable to skip entirely. Using the gold Mbappé as a stopgap until the Team of the Season (TOTS) promo is a wiser move.
