EA FC 25 Base Hero Upgrade SBC: All tasks and cheapest solutions

EA Sports has released the EA FC 25 Base Hero Upgrade SBC in Ultimate Team, giving gamers the opportunity to try their luck at obtaining some of the best legends in the game. Several Hero upgrade SBCs have been released throughout the game cycle so far, but this is the first one without a maximum rating limit.

The lack of a rating limit makes the EA FC 25 Base Hero Upgrade SBC especially exciting. Some of the best Heroes in the game are also the highest-rated, with the likes of Lucio and David Ginola not being available in previous Hero Upgrade packs due to their high overall rating.

All tasks of the EA FC 25 Base Hero Upgrade SBC

EA Sports has surprisingly asked for only two squads in the EA FC 25 Base Hero Upgrade SBC, which is fewer segments than the previously released Hero and Icon Upgrade SBCs. This will make the pack easier to obtain and even more tempting, as the risk is definitely worth it.

These are the specific stipulations mentioned in the requirements of the SBC:

Task 1: 85-rated squad

• Team overall rating: Minimum 85

Task 2: 86-rated squad

• Team of the Week players: Minimum one in your starting 11
• Team overall rating: Minimum 86

The requirement of a Team of the Week player in the second squad of the SBC will make the pack slightly more expensive to obtain than the rating thresholds suggest. However, there are many ways to obtain these TOTW items without having to buy them from the transfer market.
