Is the Hristo Stoichkov SBC Worth It?
If you love fast, powerful, clinical finishers, Stoichkov is one of the best strikers in EAFC 25. He boasts 92 Pace, 92 Shooting, and 91 Dribbling, making him an unstoppable force in attack. He can also play as an ST, RW, or LW, giving him great squad flexibility.
However, there are downsides:
- High Cost: 958,000 coins is a huge investment, especially for an untradeable card.
- Alternatives Available: Players like Fernando Torres FS Icon or Thierry Henry offer similar quality for a lower price.
- Evolutions & Meta Shifts: As new PlayStyle+ players enter the game, Stoichkov might lose value over time.
If you’re a die-hard Stoichkov fan or need a top-tier striker, this SBC can be worth it. But if you’re looking for the best return on investment, consider exploring other Icon or Future Stars options before committing to this expensive challenge.
