Cheap beast, but with flaws.
The Mario Retegui Cornerstones SBC has arrived in FC 26 Ultimate Team, and it can improve your offensive line if you’re still weak in that position.
The new Retegui item looks quite impressive and will fit well with the Saudi Pro League or Italy-based squads. There are two tasks to complete, and the conditions appear moderately easy. This guide will help you solve them to unlock the card, and also help you decide if the Italian is worth the gamble.
FC 26 Mario Retegui Cornerstones SBC tasks
The Mario Retegui Cornerstones SBC has two tasks, and here are their requirements.
Italy
- Min. 1 Players from: Italy
- Min. Team Rating: 82
Saudi Pro League
- Min. 1 Players from: ROSHN Saudi League
- Min. Team Rating: 80
Both tasks are easy to complete as there are no chemistry requirements. You’ll need to use at least one Italian card and one item from the Saudi League (separately in the two tasks). This shouldn’t be a problem, and we have provided solutions to help you complete the tasks as cost-effectively as possible.

Here are the solutions for completing the two tasks without breaking the bank.

I personally like this Retegui Cornerstones card, and for good reasons.
- The Pace isn’t exactly low (83), and it’s backed by Shooting stats (87)
- The card has First Touch playstyle (always a good choice) and Low Driven (the best finishing playstyle).
- The Enforcer playstyle is ‘broken’ in the current meta.
- Role+ as an Advanced Forward. Also offers Target Forward++ and False 9+.
There are obvious weaknesses, as the card has 3* Skills and Weak Foot. You’ll have to be really proficient at creating angles to score consistently. Remember that the SBC costs only 10,000 coins worth of fodder (the final cost could be even lower).
If you already have a strong forward in your squad, I’d recommend skipping the SBC. If you’re building a Saudi league-themed team or want a cheap alternative, it’s worth completing, though.
