Which Premier League Team Has the Most Walkouts in FC 26 Ultimate Team?
While Liverpool secured the Premier League crown ahead of Arsenal by a substantial margin, both clubs share an identical number of walkouts in FC 26. A walkout represents an Ultimate Team designation for players rated 86 or above, shown through a special pack opening animation.
Both the Reds and Gunners feature seven walkouts, with summer acquisitions Wirtz and Isak among the title winners' selections. Arsenal boasts talents such as Saliba, Saka, Rice and Gyökeres. Manchester City narrowly falls short of matching the two clubs that finished ahead of them with six walkouts, including new keeper Donnarumma.
Bruno Fernandes maintains his rating from FC 25 to 26, despite Manchester United's disappointing campaign.
Additional clubs featuring multiple walkouts include Newcastle United and Chelsea.
Mohamed Salah serves a dual role this season as both the Premier League's top-rated player and joint-highest rated across all of Ultimate Team alongside Real Madrid's Kylian Mbappé.
Several players have received rating reductions for the new season, including Rodri, Haaland and Ødegaard. Notable absences from this year's Premier League walkout roster include Phil Foden, Bernardo Silva and Emiliano Martínez. Stars like Trent Alexander-Arnold and Son Heung-min are also missing, though this stems from summer transfer moves.
