Excitement is building within the Ultimate Team community following a new leak regarding the FC 26 Paulo Dybala Winter Wildcards SBC. According to a prominent leaker, the Argentine attacker is expected to receive a special Winter Wildcards item through a Squad Building Challenge during the upcoming promo. If confirmed, this would mark yet another high-profile boost for one of the most popular attacking midfielders in the game.

 

Paulo Dybala has long been a fan-favorite among FC 26 Players thanks to his technical brilliance, smooth dribbling, and flair-heavy playstyle. Over the years, his special items have consistently ranked among the most enjoyable cards to use in Ultimate Team. A Winter Wildcards SBC would not only reignite interest in his card but could also make him a viable option in the current meta once again.

 

Dybala's Popularity in Ultimate Team

 

The AS Roma superstar has already received attention this year through the Ultimate Scream promo, where he was awarded an 88-rated special item. That version featured the Low Driven Shot+ PlayStyle and quickly became a community favorite. With five-star skill moves, elite ball control, and strong shooting attributes, the Ultimate Scream Dybala was widely used in both casual and competitive modes.

 

Despite its popularity, that card is now beginning to fall behind as newer promos introduce faster and more physical attackers. This is where the rumored FC 26 Paulo Dybala Winter Wildcards SBC could make a major impact, potentially offering meaningful upgrades that keep him competitive against top-tier defenders.

 

A Legendary Career Reflected in FC 26

 

Dybala's reputation in Italian football speaks for itself. Widely regarded as a modern Serie A icon due to his years at Juventus, he has also become a central figure for AS Roma since making the switch. His influence on the pitch, creativity in the final third, and knack for scoring spectacular goals have earned him legendary status among fans of Italian club football.

 

In FC 26, Dybala currently holds a base overall rating of 86. While this version is solid early in the game cycle, it struggles to remain relevant as power creep sets in. The leaked Winter Wildcards SBC could provide the significant boost needed to reintroduce him as a top-tier attacking option.

 

Addressing Weaknesses in His Base Card

 

Dybala's base item already excels in certain areas. His five-star skill moves and exceptional dribbling make him incredibly fun to use, especially in tight spaces. However, two major drawbacks have limited his long-term usability: a three-star weak foot and relatively low pace.

 

These shortcomings often force players to use him in very specific roles or formations. According to the leak, the FC 26 Paulo Dybala Winter Wildcards SBC could directly address these issues, potentially improving his speed and making him more unpredictable in front of goal.

 

Leaked Stats for the Winter Wildcards Item

 

Based on information shared, the Winter Wildcards SBC version of Dybala is expected to be 89-rated with the following key attributes:

 

Pace: 85

 

Shooting: 88

 

Passing: 87

 

Dribbling: 90

 

Defending: 46

 

Physicality: 72

 

These stats would represent a noticeable upgrade across the board, particularly in pace and shooting. A dribbling stat of 90 ensures he retains his trademark responsiveness, while the improved physicality could help him hold off defenders more effectively.

 

Finesse Shot+ Could Define His Meta Value

 

One of the most exciting elements of the leak is the rumored inclusion of the Finesse Shot+ PlayStyle. This trait is widely regarded as one of the strongest shooting PlayStyles in the current FC 26 meta, allowing players to score consistently from outside the box with precision and curve.

 

For a player like Dybala, who thrives on technical finishing, Finesse Shot+ could dramatically enhance his goal-scoring output. Combined with his dribbling and creativity, this PlayStyle alone could make the SBC item extremely desirable among competitive FC 26 Players.

 

Predicted Cost of the SBC

 

In terms of value, the SBC is expected to sit in a mid-to-high price range. Dybala's Ultimate Scream item currently costs around 110,000 FC 26 Coins on the transfer market. If the Winter Wildcards version delivers on the leaked stats, and potentially includes a weak foot upgrade, it could easily cost approximately 300,000 FC 26 Coins to unlock.

 

While this price may seem steep, it would still represent fair value for a high-quality, untradeable attacker with elite PlayStyles and strong links to Serie A squads.

 

Final Thoughts

 

If the leak proves accurate, the FC 26 Paulo Dybala Winter Wildcards SBC could become one of the standout releases of the Winter Wildcards promo. With boosted stats, powerful PlayStyles, and improved usability in the current meta, this card has the potential to reestablish Dybala as a top-tier attacking option in Ultimate Team.

 

For fans of technical attackers and creative playmakers, investing FC 26 Coins into this SBC could be well worth it, especially for those building Serie A or hybrid squads centered around flair and finesse.
