SBC Analysis: Is the 78+ Player Pick SBC worth the grind?

While a 78+ guarantee does not necessarily entail that players have solid options, being Rare and Gold means the cards still have a decent probability of serving as good additions to any FUT squad.

The cheapest gold card on the FIFA 23 Transfer Market costs 500 coins, setting the most optimal cost of fodder for the 78+ Player Pick SBC at around 5,500 coins. After all, there are no pesky chemistry requirements, nor do players have to think about the squad's rating.

Since there are no restrictions other than the fact that the cards in the squad have to be gold, most FUT enthusiasts can start grinding the Squad Building Challenge quite quickly. Even if they run out of fodder, they can always look for the cheapest gold card on the market to fill in a few gaps and continue the grind.

The reward for completing the challenge each time is that they will be able to choose from a pool of three rare gold cards, which will be guaranteed to have an overall of at least 78 or higher. Player pick SBCs give FIFA 23 enthusiasts a certain degree of control over the card they get for their squad, making it quite a useful challenge to grind for most.

The 78+ Player Pick is especially recommended for those looking for a way to use up extra fodder or a challenge to grind for a Fantasy FUT card.
