Is it worth completing the SBC?

Marquee Matchups are usually worth the coin investment every week. The SBC is rather cheap and can even be crafted for less than the expected cost due to the availability of untradeable assets in FIFA 23.

The group reward is a Rare Electrum Players pack, which has a value of 30,000 coins in the FUT Store. This alone makes the SBC a worthwhile proposition, especially with Road to the Final cards being up for grabs in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team.
