Is the SBC worth it?

Players looking to build a squad from scratch to complete the SBC will require somewhere around 44,000 FUT, which is a relatively sizeable sum of coins for any card. However, the 86-rated CM item is quite a decent reward.

Using fodder will, of course, lower the aforementioned cost. Players have two weeks to complete the challenge. They may wait and see if the cost of cards to use in the SBC sees a dip in the FIFA 23 transfer market. This will help reduce the expenses required to accomplish the challenge.

What's more, the two tasks are simple enough. This means that even casual players will be able to complete them. The tasks present no complicated conditions. Seeing as there are no chemistry requirements, players are free to use a large variety of cards to meet the squad-rating conditions.

That said, while the tasks look simple enough, they may cost quite a lot to complete if the items that need to be used are not chosen optimally. FIFA 23 players should ideally pick cheaper Gold cards belonging to smaller nations to keep the overall cost down. That said, they must ensure they maintain an 83 or 84 squad rating for the two tasks.

The upgraded Bellegarde card is the main attraction of the SBC. The player has received a nice 11-point boost to his overall rating compared to his base card. His stats have been enhanced across the board, giving him a high pace of 87 and 86 dribbling. Shooting (75) and passing (83) have also seen substantial boosts, making him a nice addition to any FIFA 23 midfield.

On top of the group reward, the Bellegarde Winter Wildcard, players will also get packs for completing the individual tasks. This will make the SBC worthwhile for most FUT players, especially those looking for some French links in the midfield.
