SBC Analysis: Costs and Reward Value
Completing the Axel Witsel SBC will currently cost you approximately 129,100 on consoles and 122,250 on PC. For this price, you are not only getting a top-tier defensive midfielder or centre-back but also several packs to help recoup some value. The total 12,500 provides a decent return, especially considering the high-rated fodder you can pull from the Electrum Players Packs included in the segments.
