Maximizing Your Returns
To get the most out of the 2x 85+ Upgrade SBC, consider using untradeable players from your club first. High-rated duplicates or players you don't use are perfect for this. Keep an eye on the market for cheap 83/84-rated players if you need to buy cards to complete the requirements. With the SBC being repeatable three times, strategize your submissions to avoid overspending.
