EA FC 25 Chris Wood POTM SBC: All tasks and cheapest solutions

The EA FC 25 Chris Wood POTM SBC marks the release of the Premier League Player of the Month for October 2024 in the title. This is a surprise inclusion for gamers who were expecting Bukayo Saka or Cole Palmer to secure the award. However, the striker from New Zealand has had some impressive goal-scoring performances that have earned him this SBC item.

This is his second special version of the season after the TOTW variant. That said, the EA FC 25 Chris Wood POTM SBC item is significantly better in all aspects. The 85-rated card can now be unlocked by completing a set of four challenges in Ultimate Team.
