EA FC 26: Jack Hendry Squad Foundations SBC – Requirements & Solutions

EA FC 26 continues its Squad Foundations program with a brand-new SBC for Jack Hendry, handing the Scottish defender an 83-rated special card.

The Saudi Pro League is often overlooked in Ultimate Team, but with names like Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, and N’Golo Kanté, it’s quietly become one of the most exciting leagues for meta builds. Foundations cards like Hendry make squad chemistry much easier, giving budget squads more flexibility.

📋 SBC Tasks & Cheapest Solutions

Like the recent Mateo Retegui Cornerstones SBC, Hendry’s challenge requires just two squads—making it affordable and accessible for most players.

🔹 Task 1: Saudi Pro League

• At least 1 Saudi Pro League player

• Minimum team rating: 80

Cheap Solution Example:

💰 SBC Cost & Value

The total expected cost for this SBC is around 9,000 coins, making it one of the cheapest Squad Foundations challenges so far. While Hendry’s 83 OVR isn’t game-breaking, he’s a reliable defensive option for Saudi Pro League squads and helps boost chemistry around bigger stars.

📝 Final Thoughts

For Ultimate Team managers running Saudi Pro League hybrids, this SBC is an easy win. Hendry’s special card provides a budget-friendly way to lock in chemistry around Ronaldo, Benzema, or Kanté, without breaking the bank.

At just 9K coins, this is one SBC you probably shouldn’t skip.
