FIFA 23 Rule Bender SBC: How to complete, estimated costs, and more

EA recently released the Rule Bender Squad Building Challenge for FIFA 23 Ultimate Team, offering players the chance to earn a rare gold pack by completing a fairly easy SBC.

Also, the Rulebreakers promo is still ongoing. Meaning, players have a chance to pack a unique card from doing the challenge. Here is a simple guide to completing the Rule Bender Squad Building Challenge that also discusses the cost-to-reward ratios and requirements for the same.

Rule Benders analysis

While some might feel the 24 chemistry requirement is a deal breaker for such a small SBC, most of the other rules play into it. The relatively low cost of completing the challenge, which comes in at somewhere around the 5,000 mark, indicates that even beginners might benefit from attempting it.

The maximum league constraints of three and a nationality limit of four force players to use cards which will in turn complement each other, making it easier to build towards the chemistry requirement. And while on paper, the five players from the same club limit should hinder building chemistry, it is still a fairly high ceiling.

Regular FIFA 23 players can further mitigate the relatively low cost by using fodder. Using sole Silver cards is also a good idea if players need to buy cards at all, which gives them plenty of cost-effective ways of completing the SBC. Moreover, meeting all the conditions allows one to get a Gold Pack for less than half the cost.

A full Gold pack, which costs 7,500 FUT coins in the store, contains 12 items with only a single guaranteed rare. By completing the Rule Bender SBC, one can obtain a Small Rare Gold Pack. This might give only half the number of players at six, but guarantees more rare cards.
