EA FC 24 Alessandro Bastoni POTM SBC: All tasks, cheapest solutions, and more

EA Sports has revealed the winner of March's Serie A Player of the Month award by releasing the EA FC 24 Alessandro Bastoni POTM SBC. The Italian center-back has had an excellent season so far with Inter, and his defensive contributions — along with two assists in March — have earned him an 89-rated special item.

This is not his first overpowered item to be released in this game, with him already possessing a 90-rated Showdown item. However, for gamers who missed out on that amazing version, the EA FC 24 Alessandro Bastoni POTM SBC card is an amazing alternative.

All tasks in the EA FC 24 Alessandro Bastoni POTM SBC

While the EA FC 24 Alessandro Bastoni POTM card is 89-rated, similar to how the Showdown SBC version was on release, the new Squad Building Challenge is much cheaper. This is mostly because Bastoni's new item can't receive upgrades. You need to complete two tasks to unlock the Italian center-back's fresh card.

Task 1: Top form

• Team of the Week players: Minimum one in your starting eleven
• Team overall rating: Minimum 85
• Number of players in the squad: 11

Task 2: Serie A

• Serie A TIM players: Minimum one in your starting eleven
• Team overall rating: Minimum 86
• Number of players in the squad: 11

The requirement for a Team of the Week item in the first segment will definitely make this SBC more expensive than anticipated. This is because such special cards are rare and costly in the transfer market due to their desirability and usability in various challenges.
