Welcome to the latest FC 27 Ultimate Team content drop! EA Sports has officially released a brand-new score-based Squad Building Challenge featuring a rising star. If you want to add a dynamic attacking talent to your club, completing the Shea Lacey SBC is a fantastic option. This comprehensive guide covers everything you need to know about requirements, rewards, and the most cost-effective ways to complete it.
Understanding Score-Based SBCs in FC 27
Unlike classic Squad Building Challenges, score-based SBCs change how you manage your club inventory. There are no squad formations to build and no chemistry requirements to worry about. Instead, you simply submit any player items from your club, as every player item possesses a fixed grading score. The challenge is successfully completed once the combined grading score of your submitted players meets or exceeds the target score requirement. Some segments may also enforce specific restrictions, such as a minimum OVR rating for eligible players.
The single challenge required to secure the reward has a strict total score requirement. You can carefully review the exact metrics and player constraints below:

How to Find the Cheapest Solutions and Cost Analysis
Because this format relies on cumulative grading scores rather than chemistry links, the most economical way to reach the target is by submitting players who offer the lowest price per grading score. Market fluctuations mean that fodder prices change daily, but players can generally expect costs around {console_price} on consoles and {pc_price} on PC. With the estimated rewards value sitting at {rewards_value}, it is a great opportunity to clear out untradeable duplicate items from your club storage while picking up an exciting special card.

This special card celebrates the young winger's impact in inspiring his team's comeback to win 3-2. Shea Lacey has enjoyed a whirlwind period of development at both club and international levels during the 2026/27 season. On September 10, 2026, he made his debut for Manchester United as a 72nd-minute substitute in a 4-0 UEFA Champions League victory against Sabah. Just a few days later, on September 16, 2026, he earned his maiden senior start in the EFL Cup / Carabao Cup against Brighton & Hove Albion, playing 66 minutes and scoring his first senior goal.
His rapid progress continued through the autumn window. On September 29, 2026, he featured for 60 minutes as England U20 defeated France U20 2-1 in the Elite League U20, followed by a 46-minute appearance on October 3 in a 2-1 win against Germany U20. After making brief substitute appearances in the Champions League against Como on October 21 and in the Premier League against AFC Bournemouth on October 25, Lacey delivered another clutch moment on November 3, 2026. Coming on as a 75th-minute substitute in a thrilling 3-2 UEFA Champions League win over AS Roma, he provided the crucial assist for Matheus Cunha's winner while briefly filling in at right-back. These performances earned him a call-up to the England Under-20 squad for the November international window alongside club teammates Ayden Heaven and Harry Amass.
