The 87+ Base or FIFA World Cup Hero PP SBC's addition to FIFA 23 Ultimate Team has been a surprise. It was released by EA Sports during the ongoing Future Stars promo and offers both the 87+ base and World Cup versions of Hero items.
The WC cards were released during the FIFA World Cup in Qatar, and EA Sports collaborated with Marvel to design them. They were introduced via packs in November and can no longer be found outside the FUT market. This is what makes January 5's 87+ Base or FIFA World Cup Hero PP SBC so unique.
The actual reward pool for this Squad Building Challenge is huge, considering the total number of Hero cards in FIFA 23. However, there’s a minimum limit on the eligible rewards that can be obtained through the SBC. Hence, it’s worth noting for players what they can get by completing the challenge and if it will be worth their in-game resources.
