Is the EA FC 24 Xavi Simons Trailblazers SBC worth it?

By completing this challenge, you'll unlock an 84-rated RW card, which can also operate at RM, CAM, and LW. Position-wise, the card has plenty of versatility which can be used effectively. Some of its key stats, like 90 Pace and 87 Dribbling, are pretty pro-meta as well. However, a lower completion cost will have made the challenge far more worthwhile.

While this new card isn't bad at all, a higher overall should have been more applicable considering the cost of the SBC. At 130,000, better options are available directly in the Ultimate Team market.
