Is it worth grinding the 81x11 Premier League Upgrade SBC?

While each task has individual rewards, FIFA 23 players looking to maximize theirs should ideally attempt both to get the group reward of a pack of 11 Premier League cards with at least 81 overall. At current transfer market rates, attempting the Squad Building Challenge will require fodder worth around 87,000 FUT coins.

While the cost of the SBC is nothing to scoff at, the rewards are also quite substantial. Especially considering that opening the pack during the Team of the Season promo increases the chances of packing one of the unique cards, making the 81x11 Premier League Upgrade SBC worth its price.

However, players should ideally try to mitigate the price with pre-existing fodder before grinding the challenge for packs.
