Reward Analysis and Value
The primary draw of this objective is the 1 of 5 88+ Rare Gold Player Pick. This reward is incredibly valuable as it filters out lower-rated cards, giving you a much higher probability of landing superstars like Aitana Bonmatí or Jude Bellingham. Along the way, you will also earn two 2x 81+ Rare Gold Players Packs which serve as excellent fodder for current SBCs. Given that all rewards are untradeable, they are perfect for strengthening your first-team or completing high-end challenges.
