To gain an untradeable player pack of quite a high level for FIFA 23 Ultimate Team, players need to complete this relatively simple challenge, which is doable without investing too much in terms of coins.

Since there are no chemistry requirements, players may pick and choose the cheapest option available on the market to meet the other requirements.

While there has to be at least four 85 or higher overall cards in the squad, the others cannot be too low either, lest the minimum squad rating of 84 is not reached. That said, players may choose cards of any nationality or league to get the most optimal results. Regular FIFA 23 players may also use any undesirable cards as fodder to further mitigate the cost of the SBC.

As per the current market rates, building a total squad from scratch to meet all the requirements will require around 43,000 FUT coins which isn't too shabby considering there are some great players such as Haaland's 89 rated card or Mbappe's 92 rated TOTW card up for grabs.

Do note that the Team of the Week cards are awarded to players for their exceptional performances over that week, and therefore come with subsequent boosts to the ratings over their base versions. Making these cards much sought-after by FUT players.

However, players looking to turn a profit by flipping the cards should look elsewhere as the card awarded for completing the SBC will not be tradeable on the FIFA 23 market.
