FC 27 Olivia Smith Showdown SBC: Requirements, Cost, and Solutions
Welcome to the latest addition in FC 27 Ultimate Team! EA Sports has dropped an exciting new score-based Squad Building Challenge featuring a Showdown card for Olivia Smith. To help you navigate this fresh challenge, we have put together a comprehensive guide detailing everything you need to know about completing the Olivia Smith SBC.
Understanding Score-Based SBCs in FC 27
Unlike classic Squad Building Challenges, this score-based SBC works entirely differently. There is no squad to build and zero chemistry requirements to worry about. Instead, players simply submit any player items directly from their club. Every player item in the game possesses a fixed grading score. The challenge is completed as soon as the combined grading score of all your submitted player items reaches the required threshold. Some challenges may enforce specific restrictions, such as requiring players with a minimum OVR.

How to Minimize Costs and Maximize Value
Because you are accumulating grading scores rather than meeting specific squad ratings or chemistry lines, the most cost-effective way to complete the challenge is to evaluate the coin value relative to the grading score. The cheapest way to reach the score requirement is to submit players who offer the lowest price per grading score. Currently, the estimated cost sits around {console_price} on consoles and {pc_price} on PC, while the overall rewards value is estimated at roughly 800.
