EA has confirmed the RTTK promo launches Friday November 6 at 18:00 UK and replaces Ultimate Scream, but the studio has not named a single SBC for the event. Every name below comes from community trackers who read the same leak that surfaced November 4. Treat the list as a watchlist, not a confirmed slate, and wait for the in game panel before you spend a coin. Showdown SBCs are a real EA format, confirmed in the studio's own Ultimate Scream news post, so the structure is sound even when the names are not.
RTTK SBC Wave: The Seven Leaked Names
Community trackers list seven players expected to arrive as SBC or objective items during RTTK, with no confirmed rating or format yet. Calafiori is the name to watch because he is the only defender in the paid group and Arsenal plus Italy links sit in a shallow left back pool. The rest spread across the pitch, which means most of them are link or fodder pieces rather than auto starters.
| Player | Position | Link | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Calafiori | LB | Arsenal, Italy | Only defender in paid tier, shallow LB pool |
| Buendia | LM | Aston Villa, Argentina | Wide option, cheap hybrid link |
| Nwaneri | RW | Arsenal, England | Young gun, Arsenal stack piece |
| Openda | ST | Leipzig, Belgium | Strike option with pace |
| Brobbey | ST | Ajax, Netherlands | Physical striker body |
| Alexis Garcia | CM | Real Betis, Spain | Midfield glue card |
| Tiago Djaló | CB | Porto, Portugal | Defensive squad filler |
All seven carry unconfirmed ratings and formats. EA has published zero RTTK SBC details, so the table reflects a community leak, not the in game panel.
RTTK SBC Showdowns: Four Women's Cards
The same leak adds a separate line of four women's Showdown cards during the RTTK window. If real, this is the first Showdown set built around the women's Champions League this season. EA runs Showdown SBCs as traditional puzzle challenges with chemistry, league and nation rules, so expect strict squad building over a plain score target. The four names have not surfaced in the leak, which means the only solid fact is that a women's Showdown group is on the radar.
Showdown cards upgrade when their real club wins the relevant tie, so the value rides on the draw as much as the stats. Wait for the official reveal before you plan chemistry around any of them, because a wrong guess locks fodder into a card you cannot trade back out.
RTTK SBC Prep: Fodder And Timing
Do not pre build anything on leaked requirements. The Marquee Matchups deadline on Thursday and the Hero SBC refresh pull cheap 83 to 86 fodder out of the market before Friday, and that spike hits RTTK SBCs hardest because the wave is deep. Keep your 84 to 86 gold dry and buy only after the first requirements go live.
- Hold 84 to 86 gold, do not dump it into Marquee Matchups this week.
- Skip every pre build based on a leak, the panel can change the squad rules.
- Buy fodder after Friday requirements post, prices settle once the panic clears.
- Watch Calafiori specifically, Arsenal and Italy left backs spike within minutes of a live SBC.
RTTK SBC Verdict: Buy Or Wait
Wait on every name except Calafiori, and even he needs a live requirement check first. The seven player list is unconfirmed, the four women's Showdowns have no names, and EA has published zero RTTK SBC details. Spend your fodder on Friday once the panel confirms ratings, costs and expiry, not a day before on a rumor. If you already hold untradeable 84 to 86 golds from Scream grinding, keep them in the club because a deep SBC wave is exactly where that stock pays off.
Wait for the in game panel before touching any RTTK SBC, because every name in this list is a community leak and EA has confirmed nothing for the event yet.
