SBC Analysis: Is the 85+ x10 Upgrade SBC worth grinding in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team?

The Squad Building Challenge in itself is quite simple, with two tasks that require different rated squads to be exchanged without a long list of restrictions. Even the second task's requirement of a TOTS or TOTW card is quite feasible to acquire for most FUT players this late in the game's cycle.

The total fodder cost of completing the 85+ x10 Upgrade SBC is around the 140K Coins mark, and completing the challenge once yields a pack of ten rare gold cards that are guaranteed to have an overall rating of either 85 or higher. While the reward may not seem very enticing, the purpose of completing the Squad Building Challenge is not to gain good cards but to exchange fodder.

Making the SBC worth it only for those FIFA 23 players with the fodder to spare.
