Heyya FUTcast, Happy Wednesday!
The midweek grind is back, and while the servers are buzzing with TOTW 13, the real noise is coming from the leaks. If you thought Joga Bonito was flashy, get ready for something a lot tougher. The "Unbreakables" promo is lurking around the corner, promising to bring some serious muscle to the meta.
Today, we’re breaking down a stacked Team of the Week, reviewing the new Unbreakables leaks (Salah, anyone?), and telling you exactly why you should — or shouldn't — dump your fodder into the latest SBCs.
Let’s get into it.
Promo & Event Updates
Team Of the Week 13
The new black-and-gold cards are in packs. It’s a top-heavy week with some serious star power at the top and some decent budget options below.
Harry Kane (91 ST): The headliner. Clinical finishing, perfect physicals, and hold-up play that dominates the current meta.
Lionel Messi (88 ST): Don't let the pace fool you. His dribbling and passing are still elite, and that unique body type makes him glitchy in the box.
Victor Osimhen (88 ST): A physical freak. Pace, power, and finishing wrapped into a card that will bully defenders.
Luis Sinisterra (86 LW): High pace and dribbling make him a very dangerous, responsive winger for Premier League sides.
...and the fillers: Romero, Muharemović, Swedberg, Ueda, Diomandé, etc.
Promo Takeaways
Best Cards: Kane and Osimhen are genuine weekend league contenders. Messi is a luxury playmaker.
Value: Ueda (84 ST) is a rapid striker who outperforms his price tag. Diomandé (84 RW) is a solid starter option.
Trash: Lukić (83 ST) and the lower-rated defenders are purely fodder.
Promo Leaks: Unbreakables
The Toughest Cards Are Coming Friday
The leaks are flooding in for the next promo, Unbreakables. Judging by the player selection, this promo focuses on resilience, physicality, and consistency.
Mohamed Salah (92 RM): The highest-rated leak. Expect blistering pace and elite dribbling.
Bukayo Saka (90 RW): A massive boost for the Arsenal star, likely with high resilience and stamina.
Luis Díaz (87 LM): Rapid and agile, a nightmare for fullbacks.
Eduardo Camavinga (87 CM): A midfield engine. Expect well-rounded stats that make him a chase card.
Other notables: Luka Modrić (89), Sadio Mané (88), Iñaki Williams (87), and Manuel Neuer (86).
Heroes/Icons: Alan Shearer (91), Javier Zanetti (91), Nemanja Vidić (89), and Carlos Tevez (89).
SBC Spotlight
We have some gamble packs and a new player SBC. Here is where you should put your fodder:
Elias Saad (86 LW, ~53K) — Pass. The stats are decent for a Bundesliga winger, but the links are tough and 53k is too expensive for a card that doesn't clear the power curve.
86+ Campaign Mix Upgrade (~42K) — Gamble. It’s a little expensive for what it offers. Unless you're feeling incredibly lucky, you're likely to pull something behind the curve.
2x 85+ Upgrade (~18K) — Must Do. This is excellent value. It costs peanuts and gives you two high-rated cards to recycle into bigger SBCs.
Cheapest Solution For Elias Saad
Task | Requirements | Recommended players (rating) |
Task 1: Bundesliga | Bundesliga players: Minimum one in your starting eleven Team overall rating: Minimum 85 Number of players in the squad: 11 | Alexandra Popp: 85 Foord: 85 Girelli: 85 Granit Xhaka: 85 Giugliano: 85 Svenja Huth: 85 Vivianne Miedema: 85 Kim Little: 85 Caroline Weir: 85 Damaris Egurrola: 84 Exequiel Palacios: 84 |

Market Watch
Market Summary: The market is currently split. High-rated cards (Index 100) are dipping slightly (-0.43%), likely due to panic selling ahead of the Unbreakables promo. However, low-rated fodder is exploding due to the upgrade SBCs.
Risers: Index 81 is up a massive 6.13%, Index 82 is up 4.27%, and Index 84 is up 8.14%. The 2x85+ and Campaign Mix SBCs are draining the supply of these cards.
Strategy: SELL your 81-84s. If you have tradeable low-rated golds sitting in your club, list them now. You are selling into hype.
Evolutions
We have two new EVOs today, one paid and one cheap.
The Controller (10K Coins / 100 FC Points)
Requirements: Max 85 OVR, Max 10 PlayStyles, Max 1 PlayStyle+, Position Must Not Be GK.
Rewards: +1 Overall, +12 Aggression, +15 Defensive Awareness, +12 Slide Tackle, +12 Stamina. PlayStyle+: Tiki Taka.
Verdict: Pass. It’s cheap at 10k, but the boost isn't game-changing. Tiki Taka+ is solid, but unless you have a specific card like Totti or Kanté you want to upgrade for sentimental reasons, save your coins.
Keep Composed (5K Coins / 50 FC Points)
Requirements: Max 85 OVR, Max 10 PlayStyles, Max 1 PlayStyle+, Position Must Not Be GK.
Rewards: +1 Overall, +12 Agility, +12 Balance, +12 Dribbling, +15 Reactions. PlayStyle+: Press Proven.
Verdict: Solid Value. For just 5k, the dribbling and reaction boosts are massive. Use this on a clunky defender or midfielder (like Cabal) to make them feel much smoother on the ball.
Quick Hits
TOTW 13: Kane, Messi, and Osimhen are the big pulls.
Promo: Unbreakables arrives Friday featuring Salah (92) and Saka (90).
SBCs: Do the 2x85+ Upgrade; skip Saad.
Market: Sell 81-84 rated golds immediately.
EVOs: Keep Composed is great value for dribbling boosts; skip The Controller.
Good luck with your packs, and don't forget to clear that transfer list before Friday,
