Is the 87+ Player Pick SBC worth grinding in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team?

As is evident from the name of the challenge, the reward for completing it once will be a player pick pack which gives FIFA 23 players a choice to pick one card from a pool of four rare gold cards that are guaranteed to have an overall rating of 87 or higher.

As of writing this article, the estimated cost of fodder required to complete the challenge once is around 20,000 FUT Coins. The list of requirements is relatively small and straightforward, making the 87+ Player Pick SBC ideal for grinding.

That said, with FIFA 23 entering its final stages and several highly-rated dedicated challenges, such as the 99-rated Zinedine Zidane Cover Star Icon challenge currently live, many might not prefer to attempt the 87+ Player Pick SBC. However, the FUT players still looking for some good fodder or a chance to pack specific cards from the ongoing promo should look to grind the challenge.
