Best Way to Use Season 1 Trophies in College Football 26 Ultimate Team

As you grind through College Football 26 Ultimate Team, one question every player will face is how to use their Season 1 Trophies most effectively. Whether you're just starting or already racking up wins, optimizing your Trophy usage can give your squad a major boost in both performance and long-term strategy. This guide will break down exactly how to earn trophies, how many you can collect, and the smartest ways to spend them.

How to Earn Season 1 Trophies in CFB 26

Season 1 Trophies are earned by leveling up the Field Pass. As of now, the Field Pass maxes out at Level 61. If you complete all levels, you'll earn 13,700 trophies with the standard Field Pass. However, buying the Premium Field Pass gives you access to even more trophies and rewards, making it a worthwhile investment.

What Can You Use Season 1 Trophies For?

Head to the in-game store and filter by "Season 1" to see the available options for spending your trophies. Important notes:

• Trophies do not carry over to the next season.
• At the end of Season 1, EA may offer conversion packs for cfb 26 coins or BND player packs (e.g., 83+ OVR “Names of the Game” BND player packs).
• Invest wisely while options are limited early in the season.

Prioritizing Your Trophy Spending

Must-Have: Alex Perry (WR - 83 OVR)

• Cost: 1,800 trophies
• Stats: 6'5", 83 Speed, 82 Acceleration, great route running
• Why: One of the best free cards in the game; will be upgradable to 87 OVR in Season 2.

Recommendation: Buy Alex Perry first. His size, speed, and catching make him a top-tier wideout.

Next Option: Jordan White (LG - 83 OVR)

• Cost: 1,800 trophies
• Why: A solid BND offensive lineman with good pass-blocking and strength.
• When to Buy: If you don't already have a strong left guard, Jordan White is a solid second pick.

Skip (For Now): 81 OVR Players

Avoid using your trophies on 81 OVR players. They aren't worth the value at this point in the season. Maybe revisit them later if EA drops an 87 OVR upgrade path in Season 2.

Maybe Later: Aiden Fischer (MLB) & Coleman Bryson (S)

• Solid defensive cards with 82–83 speed and coverage stats.
• Alternatives are already available on the market (e.g., Harrison MLB with better all-around stats for ~75K coins).
• Recommendation: Skip them unless you're trophy-rich and need depth.

Upgrading Kelundrick Faulk – Is It Worth It?

Yes, especially if you're not spending on other BND linemen.

• Maxed-Out Stats: 83 OVR, 89 Power Move, 85 Block Shed (only 75 Speed)
• Upgrade Cost: Trophy-based tokens purchased from the store
• Why It’s Worth It: While he's a bit slow, his elite block-shedding and power moves make him one of the best edge rushers early on.

Recommendation: If you already have Perry and don't need White, start investing in Faulk's upgrades.

What About Later in Season 1?

If you’ve secured Perry, White, and Faulk upgrades, your next move is:

• Consider saving for Fernando (LT – 85 OVR) if you still need O-Line help, though he costs 7,000 trophies.
• Hold trophies for end-of-season conversion packs or additional BND options.
• Invest in trophy-store players you think will perform well as 87 OVR upgrades in Season 2.
