The FC 26 TOTS Week 5 SBC and Objective leaks are out, and this is the final big content drop before Ultimate TOTS closes the promo. Twenty leaked names will roll out alongside the La Liga, Liga F and Liga Portugal main squad releases this Friday, headlined by SBC versions of Julián Álvarez, Caroline Graham Hansen and Vicky Lopez. The week also brings back Fernando Torres' FUT Birthday ICON as an SBC, three live Showdown matchups, and a hard wrap deadline of May 22, 2026. Here's the full roster, the cards actually worth your fodder, and the Showdown bets to track.
What Week 5 covers
Week 5 closes the league-by-league portion of the TOTS calendar with La Liga, Liga F (Spanish women's top flight) and Liga Portugal getting their packable squads on Friday. SBCs and Objectives roll out across the week alongside them, and everything wraps before the final Ultimate TOTS rerun phase begins on May 22, 2026.
This is the busiest single Friday of the entire promo, since La Liga sits next to Liga F and Liga Portugal for the simultaneous drop. If you've been holding fodder since Week 4, see the Week 4 Kvaratskhelia and Osimhen SBC roundup for context on what just expired, or jump to the La Liga TOTS nominees breakdown for the main packable squad landing on the same day.

EA hasn't confirmed the SBC vs Objective split, but the three headliners (Álvarez, Hansen, Lopez) are obvious SBC candidates. The rotation names from Liga Portugal and the women's leagues are more likely Objective grinds.
Headline picks: Álvarez, Hansen and Lopez
Julián Álvarez, Caroline Graham Hansen and Vicky Lopez are the three SBC releases worth flagging, but honest verdict first: none of them screams must-build. The cards look solid on paper without delivering anything that pushes them past existing meta options.
Álvarez gets the most attention because of the La Liga link and Atlético positioning, and his TOTS SBC will likely follow the same template as his earlier specials this year. Hansen and Lopez bring strong Liga F / hybrid options for women's squad-builders and pair naturally with the Liga F TOTS dropping on the same Friday. Most of the supporting cast (Hancko, Pedro Gonçalves, Ricardo Horta) lands in the so-so bracket: nice to have if your squad needs the link, skippable otherwise.
Fernando Torres FUT Birthday ICON returns as SBC
The sleeper highlight of Week 5 is the Fernando Torres FUT Birthday ICON SBC coming back. The card is rated 90 OVR and currently sits around 400k coins on the open market, so the SBC price should land a notch under that.
Two reasons this one matters:
Evolution potential. A 90-rated ICON has room to push into the 92–93 range with the right Evolution slot, especially the WTSS Silver ICON chain that's still active from Season 7. See the Season 7 Evolutions guide for the chain mechanics and meta picks.
Price floor. Returning ICON SBCs almost always settle below open-market price, so this is a clean coin saver if you wanted Torres anyway.
If you've been priced out of his market card all season, this is the moment.
Three Showdown matchups to track
Week 5 brings three Showdown SBCs, each tied to a real fixture:
Kieran Tierney vs Lawrence Shankland (Celtic vs Hearts)
Kika Nazareth vs Jule Brand (FC Barcelona Femení vs OL Lyonnes)
Guruzeta vs Fer López (Athletic Club vs RC Celta de Vigo)
Showdown SBCs expire right before the matchup kicks off. The winning side's player gets the live stat upgrade post-match; the losing card stays at base level forever. That makes Showdown a coin-flip on top of the SBC cost, so only commit if you'd want the base card regardless of the result.
The Barcelona Femení vs Lyon clash is the most interesting from a meta standpoint, since both Nazareth and Brand are top-tier women's midfield/forward options that could anchor a Liga F + UEFA Women's hybrid for the rest of the cycle.
What this means for your coins
Twenty leaked SBC and Objective names plus three Showdowns plus the Torres ICON SBC plus the La Liga / Liga F / Liga Portugal main squads make Week 5 by far the heaviest fodder week of the entire promo. Expect 86+ rated card prices to spike Tuesday through Thursday as players stockpile for the SBCs. If the budget is tight before Friday, you can top up your PS5 club and have coins ready for the Friday drop wave.
After this week, only Ultimate TOTS reruns remain. If you're still recycling Gold cards into 81+ packs, the TOTS Crafting Upgrade ladder is the fastest way to convert leftover club fodder before the promo ends.
FAQ

Conclusion
Week 5 is the busiest single TOTS week of the FC 26 cycle: La Liga, Liga F and Liga Portugal squads on Friday, three Showdown SBCs, the Fernando Torres ICON return, and 20 leaked SBC + Objective names on top. The three headliners (Álvarez, Hansen, Lopez) are honestly mid-tier rather than must-builds, so the smart play is to budget around the Torres ICON and the Showdown bet you actually believe in. After May 22, only Ultimate TOTS remains.
