Winter Wildcards Courtois: Is He Worth the Coins?
Thibaut Courtois is a perennial favorite among FC Ultimate Team players due to his commanding presence and excellent shot-stopping abilities. This Winter Wildcards version is expected to be a top-tier goalkeeper, especially considering the seasonal boost. If you're in need of a dominant presence between the sticks and can link him into your squad, this SBC is a strong contender. The combined value of the pack rewards, approximately 32,000, helps offset the total cost. Given his consistent high performance and the special nature of this card, he could be a significant upgrade for many teams. However, always consider your current coin balance and existing squad before committing.
