FC 26 Season 10: Token vs Coins vs FC Points — the Currency Call That Shapes Your Final Squad
The final season's 30-level reward track and a forward-looking prize hinge on choosing between token, coins, and FC Points, while evolutions and player type decide which path suits you best.
A final update with a forward-looking prize
Season 10 is the last update FC 26 will receive. That makes its Premium Pass an unusual purchase: every pack you earn can be held and opened after you start FC 27, which gives you a head start on the next cycle. The pass itself costs 500k coins, or you can redeem a Premium Pass Token if you saved one from last season. Since there is nothing else on the FC 26 calendar after this season ends, EA has loaded the track with high-value rewards to close on a strong note. If you already bought one of the FC 27 editions, completing this season is essentially a way to pull early cards for the new game without spending extra money. The packs carry over, but the token does not—so the decision to buy now is partly about timing. Open the store before the season ends, and you will have roughly six weeks of grinding with rewards you can bank for later.
The 30-level reward track
The paid track runs from level 1 to level 30, and the last few levels carry the heaviest payoff. At level 30 you get Patrick Vieira FUTTIES ICON alongside five 97+ Futties Players Packs. Level 29 offers three 97+ Futties Players Packs, while level 27 gives a 5 of 20 94+ Season In Review Player Pick. For squad-building, the mid-tier picks matter just as much: levels 23 through 26 each come with a 1 of 5 pick from one of four Futties Teams. Earlier levels stack handy consumables like 3x 89+ Rare Gold Players Pack at level 1 and several 85+ and 90+ rare gold packs scattered between levels 2 and 21. Because the track awards additional Season Points on certain levels, buying the pass lets you skip seven levels ahead if you are behind. That is the fastest route to Vieira if you still want to use him in FC 26 before the servers move on.
Currency decision: token, coins, or FC Points
The smartest way to pay for this pass is to spend nothing at all. The Premium Pass Token from season 9 was designed to be banked, and it will not roll over to FC 27. If you have one, this is the only season left to use it. If you do not have a token, the next best option is the 500k coin price. Coins have no effect on your FC 27 wallet in a way that changes your buying power here, so spending them on a pass that guarantees packs for the next game is a reasonable trade. What you should avoid is FC Points. Those carry over to FC 27 directly, so they are better saved for the upcoming game. For anyone planning to play FC 27, saving FC Points for that launch is the better use; use coins or the token for Season 10 instead.
Who gets the most out of it
This pass is not for everyone, but it is particularly useful for two groups. First, anyone who already committed to FC 27 editions: the pre-season packs give you a small shelf of high-rated players to open on launch day, giving you a head start in the next game. Second, players who want to finish FC 26 with a full 99-rated squad. The FUTTIES picks on the pass—including the four team-specific 1 of 5 picks and the 5 of 20 94+ Season In Review selection—feed directly into that project. Buying the pass early also changes how you play the season. You earn extra Season Points on the paid track, so you can hit level 30 days sooner. That extra time lets you get more matches out of Patrick Vieira before FC 26 ends, or, if you have mentally checked out of the old game, you can wrap up the grind quickly and still bank the packs. The 3,500 Season Points at levels 2 and 20 accelerate the whole track.
Evolutions that stretch your squad
Beyond packs and picks, the pass includes four Evolutions that meaningfully change how your existing players perform. Two-Way Titan arrives at level 1, targeting a player with both attacking and defensive boosts—ideal for a box-to-box midfielder. Max Defending at level 10 applies a blanket defensive upgrade to a single card, while Max Pace at level 28 does the same for sprint speed. The Pivot Point Evolution at level 20 sits in the middle, designed for a holding midfielder who needs to turn under pressure. These are not throwaway filler; they let you take a high-rated FUTTIES card you already own and push one or two stats to maximum. If you are building a 99-rated squad, combining these Evolutions with the level 29 and 30 packs gives you a way to turn a 97-rated attacker or defender into a true endgame card. That is the last set of meaningful upgrades you will get before the FC 26 cycle closes.
