FC 27 TOTW Upgrade SBC: Requirements, Score System & Cheapest Solutions
Welcome to the latest FC 27 Ultimate Team content drop! The brand new TOTW Upgrade has arrived, giving players an exciting opportunity to secure guaranteed Team of the Week items. Unlike traditional Squad Building Challenges that require specific formations, club links, or high team chemistry, this is a modern score-based SBC format designed to give you total flexibility over your club storage.
How Score-Based SBCs Work in FC 27
If you are wondering how to complete this release, the mechanic is straightforward. There is no squad blueprint to match and zero chemistry requirements to worry about. Instead, every player item in your club holds a fixed grading score based on its rating and attributes. You simply dump unwanted player items into the submission pool until your combined grading score meets or exceeds the target threshold. For this specific challenge, you will need to reach a total score requirement of 12000, while ensuring any player you submit meets the minimum OVR of 45.

Finding the Cheapest Way to Reach the Score
Maximizing your club value is essential when completing score-based challenges. Because you can submit any player items as long as they satisfy the minimum rating constraint, the most cost-effective approach is to offload untradeables sitting in your club storage first. If you need to buy cards off the Transfer Market, you should look for the players offering the best coin-to-grading-score ratio. Current market tracking puts the estimated completion cost at around 11,100 on consoles and 11,800 on PC.
