SBC Analysis: Is grinding 87+ FIFA World Cup or Fantasy FUT Hero Player Pick SBC worth it?

While completing individual tasks will yield some lucrative pack rewards, FIFA 23 players should ideally complete the entire group to maximize their gains by receiving a player pick pack. The cost of fodder to complete the challenge at the current market rate is about 270,000 FUT coins. As far as repeatable challenges go, that is pretty expensive, but the tasks in themselves are simple.

Each task for the 87+ FIFA World Cup or Fantasy FUT Hero Player Pick Squad Building Challenge is themed around building a squad of a certain rating. The steep cost of the fodder is due to the high rating in the requirements. That said, there are no finicky chemistry requirements, meaning FIFA 23 players looking to complete the SBC can optimally choose cards irrespective of their nationalities.

While the cost might deter casual FIFA 23 players from attempting the challenge, the potentially high-rated rewards are worth the price. Not only does completing the SBC yield an 87+ player, but the pool also consists of only Fantasy FUT Hero or FIFA World Cup Hero cards. This makes the 87+ FIFA World Cup or Fantasy FUT Hero Player Pick challenge worth grinding, despite its high cost.

Here's a full list of cards available from the World Cup Hero and the Fantasy FUT Hero series.
