Currently, the market cost to complete this SBC from scratch is approximately 4,700 on consoles and 6,600 on PC. While the 23,348 might seem lower than the input cost if you only look at the OVR ratings, the true value lies in the 40 individual cards you receive. These cards are perfect for 'recycling' into other SBCs like the 80+ Player Picks or league-specific upgrades that frequently appear in the Live tab.

- Perfect for stocking up on Rare Gold players for future promo-specific crafting.

Strategic Tips for Completion
Since the rewards are capped at an 80 OVR rating, do not use any player rated 81 or higher in the solution.
