SBC analysis

The restrictions for the Squad Building Challenge might not look like a lot, but building a squad that meets all the requirements will be quite expensive for many FIFA 23 players. With fodder inflation driving up the prices, the x3 85+ Attackers Upgrade also requires a highly-rated team to complete with TOTW cards, driving up the price.

Players with high-value fodder may try to mitigate the price, but the cards with in-form upgrades will undoubtedly be one of the most expensive in the squad. Considering the requirements, the squad also needs a minimum of two cards with an overall rating of 87.

However, the overall squad rating of 85 is quite high, making the challenge a pricey one.

As for the rewards, the TOTY cards and the Team of the Year ICON cards are active in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team. Packing a unique card such as Messi, Mbappe, or Ronaldinho will be a major boost for any player's squad. Of course, rewards are not guaranteed from the ongoing promo, adding a layer of RNG to the mix.

That said, the x3 85+ Attackers promo is currently an expensive affair, making it hard for many FIFA 23 players to grind.
