Is the 10x 83+ Upgrade SBC Worth It?
The cost-to-reward ratio is always a critical factor when evaluating an SBC. Currently, the estimated cost to complete the 10x 83+ Upgrade SBC is around 30,250 on consoles and 30,250 on PC. Considering the potential to pack multiple Walkouts, special cards, or highly sought-after meta players, the 27,308 in potential returns makes this SBC highly appealing. Even if you don't hit the jackpot, ten 83+ rated players provide excellent fodder for other high-value SBCs down the line, ensuring your investment isn't wasted.
Maximizing Your Chances and What to Expect
To maximize your chances of getting the best players from this pack, consider using untradeable players from your club first. This reduces the overall coin cost and makes the SBC even more economical. While pack luck is always a factor, the guaranteed 83+ rating for ten players means you're almost certain to get some useful additions. Look out for high-rated goalkeepers, defenders, and midfielders who often serve as valuable SBC fodder, or even rare special cards that could elevate your starting eleven immediately.
