The Team of the Year Icon SBC has introduced one of the most technically gifted attacking midfielders in FC 26 Ultimate Team with Sissi (90 CAM++), a card designed to dominate the central areas with intelligence, precision, and elite ball mastery. Priced at roughly 1,000,000 coins, this SBC places Sissi firmly in the premium category, instantly inviting comparisons with top-tier CAMs like Cruyff, Zidane, and other elite icons already dominating the meta.
With 5★ skill moves, 4★ weak foot, and a PlayStyle package built around Tiki Taka+, Incisive Pass, Finesse Shot, Technical, and Low Driven Shot, Sissi is clearly designed to operate as a high-IQ creator and secondary scorer. She thrives in the Shadow Striker++ role, where her movement, passing accuracy, and close control allow her to slip past defenders and overload the box, but her price tag makes expectations extremely high.
Pace — Sharp Burst, Not Pure Sprinter Speed
On paper, Sissi’s 88 pace looks solid rather than elite, but in-game she feels noticeably sharper thanks to her 89 acceleration and 93 agility. Her first steps are explosive, allowing her to dart into pockets of space before defensive midfielders can react. This quick burst is especially noticeable when triggering forward runs from CAM, where she arrives late into the box ahead of defenders.
However, her 87 sprint speed means she is not built to run away from elite fullbacks or center-backs over long distances. Instead, her pace works best in short, sharp movements, quick give-and-go plays, diagonal bursts, and sudden changes of direction. She feels fast in attack, but not “Mbappé fast,” making her movement intelligent rather than overpowering.
Shooting — Finesse Shot Makes Her Deadly From Range
Sissi’s shooting is one of the strongest aspects of the card, driven by 93 finishing, 93 positioning, 93 long shots, and 91 shot power. Inside the box, she is calm and precise, regularly finding corners instead of blasting shots straight at the keeper. Her composure rating of 92 ensures that even under pressure, her shooting animations remain clean and controlled.
The real magic comes from her Finesse Shot PlayStyle, which turns her into a long-range threat from the edge of the box. Timed finesse shots curl beautifully into the top corner, and combined with 94 curve, they feel extremely consistent. While her 4★ weak foot is slightly noticeable in tight situations, it rarely becomes a liability due to how accurate her shot selection and positioning are.
Passing & Link-Up Play — Tiki Taka+ at Its Finest
Passing is where Sissi truly separates herself from most CAMs in the game. With 91 short pass, 91 long pass, 92 vision, and 96 free-kick accuracy, she dictates tempo effortlessly in advanced areas. Her passes feel crisp, weighted perfectly, and rarely misplaced, especially when operating between the lines.
Her Tiki Taka+ and Incisive Pass PlayStyles elevate her link-up play to an elite level. First-time passes snap off her foot instantly, making quick attacking combinations feel fluid and unstoppable. Through balls split defensive lines with precision, and her ability to play accurate passes while on the move makes her devastating during fast build-up phases.
Dribbling — Explosive Control With Elite Agility
Sissi’s dribbling profile is tailor-made for tight spaces. With 93 agility, 91 balance, 93 reactions, 90 dribbling, and 89 ball control, she feels incredibly light on the ball. Every touch is responsive, and her directional changes are instantaneous, making it easy to glide past defenders in congested areas.
The Technical PlayStyle enhances her close control even further, allowing her to shield the ball effectively despite her modest physical presence. Combined with 5★ skill moves, she can chain advanced dribble moves smoothly, creating separation without relying on raw pace. In the Shadow Striker role, this makes her extremely difficult to track.
Role & Meta Impact — Shadow Striker Specialist
Used correctly, Sissi excels as a CAM Shadow Striker++, where her movement and off-ball intelligence shine. She constantly finds space between midfield and defense, arriving late into the box to capitalize on rebounds and cutbacks. In this role, she can genuinely displace elite options like 94 Cruyff, especially for players who prioritize passing and control over physical dominance.
Her attacking AI feels sharp, and her positioning allows her to exploit defensive gaps effortlessly. That said, she is not a true physical presence, and her 77 strength means she can be bullied by aggressive defenders if held onto the ball for too long. She thrives on speed of play, not duels.
Drawbacks — Price & Missing Long Ball PlayStyle
The biggest issue with Sissi is undeniably her price. At around 1 million coins, expectations are sky-high, and while she performs extremely well, there are cheaper alternatives that offer similar impact in the CAM role. Cards with Long Ball Pass PlayStyle or more physical presence can sometimes offer better all-around value.
Additionally, the lack of a Long Ball PlayStyle limits her effectiveness when switching play or launching deep counters. While her long passing stats are excellent, the missing PlayStyle is noticeable when attempting aggressive cross-field passes under pressure.
Elite Card, Questionable Value
Sissi Team of the Year Icon SBC is an incredibly polished attacking midfielder with elite dribbling, top-tier passing, and reliable finishing. She excels in quick build-up systems, thrives as a Shadow Striker, and offers some of the smoothest CAM gameplay available in FC 26 Ultimate Team.
However, her 1M coin price tag significantly hurts her value proposition. While she is undoubtedly strong, she does not offer enough over similarly priced or cheaper alternatives to justify breaking the bank.
Final Rating: 6/10 A technically brilliant CAM with elite control and creativity, but overpriced in a market full of strong replacements.
