Intro to Player SBCs: Mastering the New Score-Based Challenge in FC 27
FC 27 introduces a revolutionary way to complete challenges with the score-based system. In the Intro to Player SBCs, the traditional squad building and chemistry requirements are gone.

This specific challenge also requires a minimum OVR of 45 for any player submitted, making it highly accessible for both new and veteran players.
