FC 26 Mateta Ratings Reload SBC: Stats, Tasks & More2 min read

The FC 26 Mateta Ratings Reload SBC, launched by EA Sports, offers players a chance to get a Jean-Philippe Mateta card with an 85 rating. This latest update, which will be part of the Ratings Reload promotion, gives the French striker an edge in a number of important areas, making him the perfect addition to FUT teams. 

Key Stats & PlayStyles

The latest FC 26 Mateta Ratings have an overall rating of 85. He has a 5-star weak foot, which can be a useful quality for finishing and flexibility, to make up for his lack of a PlayStyle+.

Power Shot, Precision, Low-Drive Shot, Press Proven, and Enforcer are the five PlayStyles that are on offer on his card. To deal with different striker playstyles, he has been given Advanced Forward+, Poacher+, and Target Forward++. Check out all licensed leagues in FC 26 on MitchCactus.

His main attribute breakdown is as follows:

• Pace: 83
• Shooting: 87
• Passing: 73
• Dribbling: 83
• Defense: 45
• Physicality: 90

This mix makes him strong in physical duels and finishing while offering enough pace and dribbling to be serviceable in build-up play.

SBC Requirements (Tasks)

The SBC consists of two tasks:

• Task 1: France
   • At least 1 Argentina player
   • At least 1 Team of the Week (TOTW) player
   • Squad rating ≥ 83
   • Full 11-player squad
  
• Task 2: Premier League
   • At least 1 Premier League player
   • Squad rating ≥ 83
   • Full 11-player squad 

As these criteria are pretty normal, they ask for attention to ratings synergy and fodder selection. Learn what’s new in Update 1.0.4.

Mateta’s card cannot have any PlayStyle+ upgrades, hence how you position him in formation and chemistry will impact how much you gain. This SBC gets easier to access if you already have inexpensive Premier League and French fodder. 

Good luck building your squad. Mateta could prove to be an unexpected gem in FC 26’s meta, especially for players looking for an effective yet reasonably priced striker option.
