EA FC 26 Base Hero Matchday Pick SBC (October 19): Review

The available players (Image via EA Sports)

The overall expected cost of the SBC is around 180,000 coins. This is a reasonable price for such an SBC, as the three players on offer in this pick all have similar values in the transfer market. They all possess the stats required to excel in their respective positions under the FC IQ system, and were even more expensive before this SBC was released.
