The method for claiming FC Points is different today than in the past. BeSoccer

Have you pre-ordered FC 26, fans? This year's pre-order bonuses are incredibly generous, especially for Ultimate Edition owners.

Not only do you get Season 1 Premium Pass and an additional Ultimate Team Player Evolution Slot for free, but more importantly, you'll have 6,000 FC Points to spend as you please.

So how can you use FC Points you received from pre-ordering Ultimate Edition to get a better advantage in the game? Here, IGGM.com will show you how to use these points to help you on your Ultimate Team journey!

How To Claim All Your FC Points?

It's worth noting that the method for claiming FC Points is different today than in the past. In previous Ultimate Team games, you received 4,600 FC Points on day one, and that was it. You had a full year to use these points for whatever you wanted.

However, this year, all 6,000 FC Points will be available in three phases:

On September 19th, we'll receive the first 2,000 points.
On October 31st, Halloween, we'll receive another 2,000 points.
On November 30th, we'll receive the final 2,000 points.

Best Ways To Use FC Points

Now, let's talk about how to use these points.

1. Redeem And Sell 7.5k Packs

On the first day, the 19th, you'll receive 2,000 FC Points, which can be redeemed for 13x 7.5k Packs. If you sell these 7.5k Packs quickly, each pack will net you approximately 2,600 FIFA 26 coins, meaning that quickly selling all 13 packs could net you 33,800 coins.

However, IGGM.com has another way to earn even more coins from this pack. Simply sell everything you get from each 7.5k Pack.

Normally, if we quickly sell an 80-rated player from this pack, we'd earn 284 coins. But on the first day of a new Ultimate Team game, doing so could net you 800 coins.

If you're lucky enough to unlock a player with an awesome Chemistry Style, like Hunter and Shadow styles, that could be worth 5k coins.

So, make sure you sell everything you get from each 7.5k Pack. With some time to open the packs, you'll likely get around 45,000-50,000 coins.

2. Focus On The Paid Season Pass

The next way to use FC Points is truly a genius move.

Season Passes in Ultimate Team are divided into regular and paid Season Passes. The former is completely free for all players, while the latter requires a payment to unlock and, of course, offers more generous rewards. Unlocking Premium Pass for each season typically requires 1,000 FC Points.

However, you probably didn't forget what we mentioned earlier: players who pre-ordered EA Sports FC 26 Ultimate Edition received Season 1 Premium Pass as a bonus.

So, you don't need to use any FC Points in this way in Season 1. However, that doesn't mean you won't need them in subsequent seasons.

Thus, a very smart way to use those FC Points is to save them all and use them only on the paid Season Pass. Don't underestimate the number of packs and players you can unlock simply by accumulating points in the game. I know it takes a lot of patience, especially with popular packs. But the amount of FUT 26 coins you can save by doing this is absolutely insane!

If you save all your FC Points from your pre-order, you'll have a lock on Team of the Season from October all the way to April of the following year. Don't underestimate the power of Season Pass.

3. Unlock Evolution Slots

This next one is probably a popular one, especially if you enjoy upgrading your favorite football club's players through Evolution.

Evolution is a mode in Ultimate Team that allows you to evolve your players and improve their stats, carving your own path to advancement.

This has been a fantastic mode in FIFA series for years, earning you better player cards as you complete challenges. Even more importantly, in FC 26, they've added Goalkeeper Evolutions for the first time.

However, some of the available Evolution slots in the game may require FC Points or Coins to activate.

While we don't actually recommend spending all of your FC Points on these because of their precious value - you can always buy IGGM.com FC 26 coins to do the same thing - if you have a few extra points, be sure to check out these incredible Evolutions.

Especially during Team of the Year, where 11 of the best players in football receive these Evolutions. This is probably the most exciting Evolution player of the year.

4. Reserve Some FC Points

Honestly, there's actually one last way to use your FC Points: save them! If you're a casual player, there's absolutely no need to squander all of them right away, as they often have greater value later in the game.

If you have FC Points left over, you can always redeem them for some Premium Gold Packs or great tradable Promo Packs, especially during holiday sales like Halloween, when these packs can fetch incredible returns.

So, everyone, you should probably save around 1,500 FC Points; this will help you redeem some great Promo Packs in the future!

These are the best ways to use your 6,000 FC Points at FC 26. Have an unforgettable day!
