Completing this SBC requires finishing two distinct segments. While the individual rewards for these segments are simple Silver Packs, the real value lies in the final group reward. The SBC is repeatable up to three times, allowing you to potentially walk away with 15 cards rated 83 or higher from a massive pool of 30 choices.
Cost Analysis and Value
Currently, the estimated cost to complete this challenge is approximately 7,600 on consoles and 7,600 on PC. Given that the total rewards value is estimated at around 0, this SBC is primarily focused on the potential for high-end pulls rather than guaranteed profit. If you have untradeable cards sitting in your club from recent objectives, this is an excellent place to dump them.
- Great for high-rated fodder (86+ ratings are common in 10-pick pools).
- Excellent way to recycle cards during major promos like Futties or Pre-Season.
- High volume of picks increases the chance of hitting a 'Top 5' meta player.
