EA FC 24 88+ Encore Hero player pick SBC: All tasks, cheapest solutions, and more

EA Sports has released the EA FC 24 88+ Encore Hero player pick SBC in Ultimate Team for gamers to test their luck while they try to obtain some of the best legendary players in the game. This pick is an upgrade on the previous SBC, as the minimum rating threshold has been increased while the pick still contains the same promo players.

The EA FC 24 88+ Encore Hero player pick does not contain base versions of these Heroes. It offers Triple Threat, UCL/UWCL and Fantasy Hero items instead, making it an extremely tempting proposition for fans looking to upgrade their squads.

Similar to the recently released Icon Encore player pick SBC, the EA FC 24 88+ Encore Hero player pick SBC also requires three squads. However, the requirements are a lot more lenient. These are the stipulations mentioned in each of the segments:

Task 1: 85-rated squad

• Team overall rating: Minimum 85

Task 2: 86-rated squad

• Team overall rating: Minimum 86

Task 3: 87-rated squad

• Team overall rating: Minimum 87

There are no Team of the Week players required in this SBC, which will be a relief for gamers as these items are always expensive in the transfer market due to their rarity and usability in various SBCs.
