Understanding the Base Hero Upgrade SBC in EAFC 25

This SBC is special because it has no maximum rating limit. That means you have a shot at packing top-tier Heroes like Lucio or David Ginola. Unlike previous Hero upgrades, this one is more accessible and offers bigger rewards.

SBC Requirements

You’ll need to complete two squads to finish this challenge:

  1. Task 1: 85-Rated Squad
    • Minimum Team Rating: 85
  2. Task 2: 86-Rated Squad
    • Minimum Team Rating: 86
    • Team of the Week Players: At least 1 in your starting eleven

Don’t worry, these requirements are straightforward. However, including a Team of the Week (TOTW) player might slightly increase the cost. But with smart planning, you can keep your expenses in check.

How to Complete the SBC

Let’s dive into strategies for each task:

Task 1: Building the 85-Rated Squad

To hit the 85 rating without overspending, consider using a mix of high-rated and affordable players. Here are some recommendations:

  • Bruno Fernandes (87)
  • Kim Little (86)
  • Vitinha (85)
  • Kailen Sheridan (85)
  • Federico Dimarco (84)
  • Kingsley Coman (84)
  • Matthijs de Ligt (84)
  • Amanda Ilestedt (84)
  • Dani Olmo (84)
  • Benjamin Pavard (84)
  • Katharina Naschenweng (83)

These players are generally cost-effective and help boost your squad rating.

Task 2: Building the 86-Rated Squad with a TOTW Player

Including a TOTW player is essential here. Here’s how you can build this squad efficiently:

  • TOTW Player: Any 84-rated TOTW card you have or can acquire at a reasonable price.
  • High-Rated Players:
    • Jill Roord (87)
    • Victor Osimhen (87)
    • Alexandra Popp (87)
    • Mallory Swanson (87)
    • Georgia Stanway (86)
  • Supporting Players:
    • Dusan Vlahovic (84)
    • Ben White (84)
    • Amel Majri (84)
    • Alex Remiro (84)
    • Serhou Guirassy (84)
    • Lara Prasnikar (84)

Using higher-rated players balances out the inclusion of lower-rated ones, keeping your overall rating at 86.

Estimated Cost

The total cost for completing both squads is roughly 150,000 FC Coins. Prices can fluctuate, so keep an eye on the transfer market for the best deals. If you have untradeable high-rated players in your club, use them to save coins.

Potential Rewards

Now, the exciting part—what can you get from this SBC? Since there’s no rating cap, you have chances of bagging any Base Hero in the game. Here are some of the top Heroes you could land:

  • Lucio (CB, 89)
  • David Ginola (LM, 89)
  • Eden Hazard (LM, 88)
  • Yaya Touré (CDM, 87)
  • Antonio Di Natale (ST, 88)
  • Vincent Kompany (CB, 88)
  • Jaap Stam (CB, 87)

Of course, there’s also a possibility of getting lower-rated Heroes like:

  • Tim Howard (GK, 85)
  • Peter Crouch (ST, 85)
  • Tim Cahill (ST, 85)

While not as glamorous, they can still be useful for squad depth or future SBCs.

Tips for Success

  • Use Untradeable Players: Maximize your savings by using players you can’t sell anyway.
  • Snipe Bargains: Search the market during off-peak hours to find players at lower prices.
  • Monitor TOTW Prices: TOTW players can be pricey. Consider completing TOTW challenges or packs to get one without buying.
  • Check Your Club First: You might already have the necessary players sitting unused.

Completing the Base Hero Upgrade SBC is a bit of a gamble, but the potential payoff is huge. With smart planning and a bit of luck, you could significantly boost your Ultimate Team. So, gather your players, complete those squads, and may the pack odds be ever in your favor!
