Fantasy FC Niclas Füllkrug SBC: How to Complete and Player Analysis
By Alfie Carrington••3 min read
The Fantasy FC promo has officially taken over Ultimate Team, and the latest addition to the live-item roster is none other than Niclas Füllkrug. This new SBC offers players a chance to earn a dynamic card that can improve based on real-world performances. Known for his incredible physical presence and clinical finishing, Füllkrug has become a fan favorite both in the Bundesliga and now in the Premier League. This card represents a significant upgrade over his base versions, making him a tempting option for anyone running a target-man style of play.
Understanding the Fantasy FC Upgrade Path
The Niclas Füllkrug SBC is unique because the card's rating is not final. As a Fantasy FC item, Füllkrug can receive up to four individual upgrades based on West Ham's performance in their next four domestic league matches. The potential boosts include +1 OVR for a team win, +1 OVR for making three appearances, +1 OVR for the player recording two goals or assists, and a final +1 OVR if the team scores 11 goals across those four matches. Given Füllkrug's role as the focal point of the attack, the goal-contribution upgrade is highly achievable.

Cost and Value Analysis
Completing the Füllkrug SBC will currently cost approximately 69,500 on consoles and 68,500 on PC. While the upfront cost might seem steep for a non-meta 'clunky' striker, the 6,700 in pack returns softens the blow. The rewards include a Gold Pack, a Premium Gold Pack, and a x2 Players Pack. If West Ham hits a run of good form, this card could easily jump +2 or +3 in rating, making the current price a potential bargain for a high-rated Premier League forward.
