Rewards Analysis and Pack Value
The crown jewel of this objective is the 10x 85+ Rare Gold Players Pack. Obtaining ten players rated 85 or higher is an incredible boost for any team, especially during promotional periods when high-rated fodder is essential for completing expensive SBCs. Historically, strikers like Forlán were known for their consistency, and this pack offers that same reliability for your club's depth.
- Focus on using clinical finishers with the Finesse Shot or Power Shot PlayStyles to mirror Forlán's style.
- Complete these challenges in Squad Battles on Semi-Pro difficulty or higher to speed up the process.
- All rewards provided are untradeable, so look to use them in upcoming high-value SBCs.
