How to unlock the EA FC 25 David Alaba Flashback card?

EA Sports has released the most exciting player SBC so far in Ultimate Team this season, with the EA FC 25 David Alaba Flashback card being up for grabs. The Real Madrid defender has received an 87-rated item as a throwback to his days with Bayern Munich, but the process of obtaining this item is a bit unusual, as it includes both an SBC and an objective.

The Real Madrid superstar has an 85-rated base version in the latest title and already possesses the stats and attributes required to be a viable defender. However, the EA FC 25 David Alaba Flashback item is even better. Not only has the 87-rated version received a boost to his stats, but he can also play as a central midfielder or a central defensive midfielder, along with his base left-back position.
