The World Tour Silver Superstars program is one of the brand-new features in EA Sports FC 26. It gives managers fresh ways to build squads and rewards creativity with Silver-level Icons and Heroes tied to historic tournaments and legendary footballing moments. This mode breathes new life into Silver cards, making them more than just filler items in Ultimate Team.
What Are World Tour Silver Superstars?
Each Ultimate Team season in FC 26 introduces special Silver-rated versions of iconic footballers. These are not regular Silver players, they are unique Silver Icons and Heroes created around the seasonal theme. Season 1 kicks off with England ’66, featuring legendary players who defined the 1966 World Cup.
The program is designed to spotlight players outside the usual Gold-heavy squads, encouraging managers to experiment with Silver-only squads and unlock exclusive rewards.
Icons
Here are the Icon players you can get as rewards by completing the World Tour Silver Superstars’ seasonal objectives:
- GK: Lew Yashin (72)
- CB: Bobby Moore (74)
- CAM: Bobby Charlton (74)
- RW: Garrincha (70)
- ST: Eusébio (73)
How the Program Works
- Seasonal Themes: Each season has a theme (e.g., England ’66 for Season 1) with a set of Silver Superstars tied to it.
- Player Releases: Unique Silver Icons & Heroes are introduced gradually through Objectives, SBCs, and Live Events.
- Silver-Only Challenges: Some events and objectives require full Silver squads to unlock rewards.
- Live Competitions: Programs like the World Tour Silver Superstars League give managers a chance to earn exclusive prizes.
How to Earn Silver Superstars
There are several ways to unlock these special Silver cards in FC 26:
- Objectives: Complete long-term seasonal objectives that are themed to each Silver Superstar.
- Squad Building Challenges (SBCs): Submit squads to unlock certain players or packs containing Silver Superstars.
- Live Events: Compete in seasonal Silver-only events like the Silver Superstars League (starting October 19 in Season 1).
- Rewards: Earn Silver Superstars by progressing through the Season ladder and hitting milestones.
Why Build a Silver Squad?
