Strategic Tips for the Mixed Leagues Grind
To make the most of this SBC, you should focus on using cards that have little value elsewhere. Since this is a league-based challenge, it often requires specific players from secondary leagues that might not be used in the top-tier Daily Login or Player of the Month challenges. Here are a few tips to maximize your efficiency:
- Use untradeable bronze and silver cards from minor leagues first to reduce the overall coin spend.
- Check your club for duplicate items; this SBC is the perfect place to dump duplicates before opening more packs.
- Keep an eye on chemistry requirements, as league-specific challenges often require careful positioning of players.
