FUT Ramos: Cheapest way to get FUT Birthday Sergio Ramos card in FIFA 19

EA Sports have released another FUT Birthday card and it is Sergio Ramos as a striker! The Spaniard's card looks crazy but is not really worth playing him as a striker.

While his shooting stats do stand out at 89, his positioning, curve and long shots are in the 70s. The ideal thing to do with him would be to play him as a Central Defensive Midfielder who slots right between the two centre-backs.

Is the Sergio Ramos SBC worth doing?

It totally depends on what your squad looks like. This is a very expensive SBC and will easily cost more than 1 million coins. There is no easy way around this and you will have to spend big and get the players you need to complete the 5 challenges.

Without further ado, let's look at the best solutions for the SBC:

#1 – Los Merengues

Requirements:

Min. Real Madrid Players: 2

Min. TOTW Players: 1

Min. Team Rating: 86

Min. Team Chemistry: 75

Number of Players in the Squad: 11

Solution:

'Cheapest' possible 86-rated La Liga squad

Like I said before, this SBC is a very expensive one. The very first challenge itself is going to cost nearly 300k coins and there is no way past it. Even if you have a lot of players from the squad above, there is no way you will have all of them.

An 86-rated squad with 1 Team of the Week player and 2 Real Madrid players is never going to be cheap. Adding to that, EA have asked the players to build the squad with a chemistry of 75! In short, you will have to use all the players from LaLiga to complete the SBC and everyone in the league is overpriced this year. Every single player!

#2 – La Furia Roja

Requirements:

Min. Spain Players: 2

Min. TOTW Players: 1

Min. Team Rating: 85

Min. Team Chemistry: 75

Number of Players in the Squad: 11

Solutions:

For this SBC, you require 1 Team of the Week player and 2 Spain players. However, if you opt to use a lot of LaLiga players again, you will find this as one of the cheapest challenges in this SBC.

Getting the squad to 85 is easy with random players but using LaLiga players helps in getting the chemistry as well. While only 75 chemistry is required, I have gone and made it 100 itself!

Pablo Sarabia is the costliest player for me in this XI, followed by Parejo at 34k. All others were 15k and below so this challenge was completed using 193k coins. In return for submitting this squad, you get a Mega Pack which isn't worth it unless you have insane luck!

#3 – LaLiga

Requirements:

Min. Spain Primera Division Players: 3

Min. TOTW Players: 1

Min. Team Rating: 87

Min. Team Chemistry: 80

Number of Players in the Squad: 11

Solution:

Again, not a simple squad to make and the cost is above 250k!

#4 – 85-rated squad

Requirements:

Min. TOTW Players: 1

Min. Team Rating: 85

Min. Team Chemistry: 70

Number of Players in the Squad: 11

This is basically the same as the La Furia Roja challenge and I went with the same players. The same set of players, just a different formation.

Not sure why EA had to make this challenge twice. Just increases the cost of the SBC and nothing else. No real mystery or fun in solving the challenge.

#5 – 87-rated squad

Requirements:

Min. Team Rating: 87

Min. Team Chemistry: 65

Number of Players in the Squad: 11

Solution:

And the final challenge was an 87-rated squad and boy is it costly! 380k coins to make it and in return, you get a rare players pack. But, if you have completed all the other challenges too, you get 93-rated SERGIO RAMOS! And that's the end.
