Quick Answer
Luis Figo’s SBC is a very interesting card if you need an attacking midfielder, creative CAM, or high-impact super sub.
On paper, he looks like a classic winger, but after testing him, he feels much more dangerous centrally. At RW or RM, something feels slightly missing. At CAM, however, Figo becomes far more influential: better passing angles, more shooting chances, more control around the box, and much more value from his PlayStyles.
If you have a lot of spare high-rated fodder and need a technical creator, this SBC is worth considering. Just do not complete him expecting a pure explosive winger.
Luis Figo SBC Review: Is He Worth Completing?
For the first time in a while, EA has released an SBC card that actually feels interesting and useful without looking ridiculously overpriced for what it offers.
Figo is not the kind of card that instantly screams “must-complete” for every squad, but he has a very specific profile that can be extremely valuable if used correctly.
The most important thing to understand: his best position is CAM, not RW/RM.
I initially used him in his natural wide role, but he did not feel fully unlocked there. He was good, of course, but not special enough to justify the investment.
Once moved into the central attacking midfielder role, the card started to make much more sense. His passing, dribbling, finishing, and PlayStyle combination became much easier to feel in-game.
Pros
• Excellent PlayStyle package
• Very strong passing and chance creation
• Great dribbling in central areas
• Reliable finishing, even on the weaker foot
• Works well as a CAM or super sub
• Surprisingly useful defensively for an attacking card
• Strong jumping and aerial presence for a wide player
Cons
• Does not feel as special on the wing
• 4★ Weak Foot can occasionally let you down
• Best value depends heavily on how much fodder you already have
• Not a must-complete SBC for everyone
PlayStyles and In-Game Feel
Figo has a very complete set of attacking PlayStyles.
PlayStyle+
• Technical+
• Rapid+
• Low Driven Shot+
• Incisive Pass+
Additional PlayStyles
• Finesse Shot
• Dead Ball
• Gamechanger
• Pinged Pass
• Tiki Taka
• Inventive
• Trickster
This is a strong mix for a creator.
Technical+ helps him feel sharp on the ball, especially when receiving between midfield and defence.
Rapid+ gives him enough burst to separate from defenders, even if he does not feel like a pure pace merchant.
Low Driven Shot+ is very useful inside the box, especially when playing him centrally.
Incisive Pass+ is probably one of the most important parts of the card. At CAM, he constantly gets into positions where through balls, final passes, and quick vertical balls matter.
The silver PlayStyles complete the card nicely. Pinged Pass, Tiki Taka, Inventive, Trickster, and Finesse Shot all make him feel like a proper creative attacker rather than just a basic winger with high stats.
Why Figo Feels Better at CAM
This is the main point of the review.
On the wing, Figo is good but not outstanding.
He has the pace, the dribbling, and the PlayStyles to play there, but in wide areas he does not always feel as dominant as you would expect from a premium SBC card.
At CAM, the card becomes much more dangerous.
He gets more touches in central zones, can turn quickly with Technical+, play killer passes with Incisive Pass+, and finish chances with Low Driven Shot+.
His 95 passing and 96 dribbling feel much more valuable when he is receiving the ball near the edge of the box rather than hugging the touchline.
As a CAM, he can:
• create chances through the middle
• combine quickly with strikers
• shoot from central areas
• play final passes into the box
• carry the ball between the lines
• press and recover loose balls
That is where the card feels properly alive.
Stats That Stand Out In-Game
The card has some very strong attacking stats, and most of them are noticeable in actual gameplay.
Key Stats
• 94 Shooting
• 95 Passing
• 96 Dribbling
Shooting
His finishing is very reliable.
Inside the box, Low Driven Shot+ makes him dangerous, and he can still score well with his left foot despite the 4★ Weak Foot.
There may be rare moments where the weak foot does not feel perfect, but overall his finishing is much better than expected.
Passing
This is probably the strongest part of the card.
His passing feels excellent. Through balls, quick combinations, and final passes all come off very cleanly.
Even when he does not have the exact PlayStyle you might want in a certain situation, the raw passing stats often compensate.
At CAM, his passing becomes one of the biggest reasons to use him.
Dribbling
With 96 dribbling and Technical+, Figo feels very smooth in tight spaces.
He is not the smallest or most slippery player in the game, but he feels controlled, responsive, and reliable when turning under pressure.
This is another reason why CAM suits him better than the wing.
Defensive Contribution
One underrated part of this card is his defensive work.
For a player who is naturally more attacking and often used out wide, he does surprisingly well when tracking back or challenging for loose balls.
There were several moments where he had to help defensively, intercept a pass, or deal with a cross toward the wide midfielder — and he handled those situations very well.
His jumping also feels genuinely strong in-game.
The Main Concern: 4★ Weak Foot
Before using the card, the 4★ Weak Foot looked like the main potential issue.
And yes, it can show up sometimes.
There was one moment where he hit the post from around seven meters with his left foot when it looked like a guaranteed goal.
But that does not tell the full story.
He also scored finesse shots from around 25 meters with the same foot, so it is hard to call the weak foot a serious problem.
It is not perfect, but it is not a deal-breaker either.
Who Should Complete This SBC?
Complete Figo If:
• You need a creative CAM
• You have spare high-rated fodder
• You want an attacking midfielder with elite passing
• You like technical players with strong PlayStyles
• You need a high-quality super sub
• You can use him centrally instead of forcing him wide
Skip Figo If:
• You only need a pure winger
• You expect him to dominate only from RW/RM
• You do not have spare fodder
• You already have an elite CAM or central creator
• You only want 5★ Weak Foot attackers
Is Luis Figo Worth the Coins?
Yes, but with one important condition.
Figo is worth it if you already have a lot of spare high-rated fodder and need a CAM or elite attacking super sub.
At the time of writing, exact SBC value should always be checked before completing because fodder prices can move quickly. But from a gameplay perspective, this card has enough quality to justify the investment for the right squad.
If you use him as a CAM, he can absolutely return value.
If you only plan to use him as a wide player, the recommendation becomes less clear.
He is good on the wing, but not special enough there to be an automatic must-complete.
Best Position and Chemistry Style
Best Position
CAM
• This is where Figo feels most effective.
• He gets more involved, uses his PlayStyles better, and offers more consistent value in attack.
Secondary Option
• RW / RM
• Playable, but not the ideal role.
Super Sub Role
• Very strong.
Figo can be an excellent second-half option because he brings passing, dribbling, shooting, and experience-like composure into tired defences.
Chemistry Style
The best chemistry style depends on your squad and how you want to use him, but for CAM, boosting finishing and pace makes the most sense.
Recommended options:
• Hunter
• Hawk
• Engine
If you want him to feel sharper centrally, Engine can help. If you want more direct goal threat, Hunter or Hawk will usually make more sense.
Final Verdict
Luis Figo is a very good SBC card, but he needs to be used correctly.
As a winger, he is solid. As a CAM, he is genuinely impressive.
His 94 shooting, 95 passing, and 96 dribbling all feel strong in-game, and the PlayStyle package gives him a lot of ways to impact matches.
The 4★ Weak Foot can occasionally be annoying, but it is not a serious enough weakness to ruin the card.
If you have spare fodder and need a creative attacking midfielder, Figo is a smart SBC to complete.
If you only want a pure wide player, you may want to think twice.
Rating: 8.8/10
Best Role: CAM
Best Use: Creative attacking midfielder or super sub
Recommendation: Complete if you have spare fodder and plan to use him centrally.
Before completing expensive SBCs, it is always worth checking your squad value and the current FC 26 coins market so you do not overpay for upgrades you may not actually need.
