- Challenge 1 Reward: Jumbo Premium Gold Pack – A mix of 24 items, including players and consumables with 7 rares.
- Challenge 2 Reward: Prime Electrum Players Pack – 12 players (6 Gold, 6 Silver) with 6 rares, great for stocking your club.

Cost and Completion Strategy
The estimated cost to complete the entire set is approximately 8,800 on consoles and 7,800 on PC. Given that most requirements can be met using common gold and silver players from your club, the out-of-pocket cost is often much lower. It is highly recommended to use untradeable cards to maximize your potential profit from the tradeable packs earned.
