EA FC 26 Base Hero Matchday Pick SBC (October 12): All tasks and cheapest solutions

EA Sports has released the second version of the EA FC 26 Base Hero Matchday Pick SBC in Ultimate Team, allowing gamers to choose between three Hero items to add to their squads. This selection includes Guti, Sonia Bompastor and Jean-Pierre Papin, which is an improvement over the previous Hero player pick SBC.

The first version of the EA FC 26 Base Hero Matchday Pick SBC included Heroes like Alex Scott, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and DaMarcus Beasley. While these players are effective in their own right, the new selection is much more impressive and comes at a higher cost as well.

EA FC 26 Base Hero Matchday Pick SBC: Review

The overall expected cost of the SBC is around 100,000 coins. All three players included in this SBC are below this price threshold in the transfer market, which might hint at the SBC being overpriced. However, all these items have the stats required to be amazing in their respective positions under the FC IQ system, and they also offer chemistry boosts to players from their leagues.

This makes the SBC worth completing for those who can bring the cost down by using untradeable players.
