Analysis: Should you bother with FUT 18 SBC?

The FUT 18 Squad Building Challenge is not too complex and completing the single-task challenge should not cost much fodder at the time of writing. Nonetheless, the high chemistry requirement might seem daunting for newcomers, but the low squad rating of 65 allows players to use a mix of bronze and silver players to fill the ten positions, lowering the price of the SBC.

Also, the forced use of a first-owned player, i.e., a player not bought from the Transfer Market, helps mitigate the cost. That said, most regular FIFA 23 players should have enough fodder to complete the SBC in their squads, and filling the gaps should not cost much.

As for the cost-to-reward ratio, the FUT 18 SBC is a must-do for any FIFA 23 player looking for an easy Swaps Token. The more they collect, the better rewards they can avail of before the FUT Birthdays promo expires next week.
