EA Sports FC 27 Guide | How to Complete SBCs

Squad Building Challenges, or SBCs, are one of the main ways to turn unwanted Player Items into valuable rewards in EA SPORTS FC 27 Ultimate Team.

While traditional Puzzle SBCs still require you to build a squad around specific requirements, FC 27 also introduces Simplified SBCs that use an Item Score system for certain challenges.

What Are SBCs in FC 27?

SBCs challenge you to exchange Player Items from your Club in return for rewards such as Packs, Player Items, and other Ultimate Team rewards.

FC 27 features two main SBC formats:

Puzzle SBCs require you to build a squad that meets specific requirements such as Rating, Chemistry, Player Quality, Leagues, Nations, or Clubs.

Simplified SBCs require you to submit eligible Player Items until you reach a specific Item Score rather than building a complete squad.

Both formats permanently remove the Player Items you submit, so always check your squad carefully before completing an SBC.

How to Complete a Simplified SBC

Simplified SBCs are designed to make certain Player and Upgrade SBCs faster to complete.

Instead of arranging 11 players into a squad, you select eligible Player Items that contribute toward the challenge's required Item Score.

To complete one:

• Go to Ultimate Team and open SBCs.
• Select a Simplified SBC.
• Check the required Item Score.
• Select eligible Player Items from your Club.
• Check how much each Item contributes.
• Submit the selected Items.
• Continue submitting Items until you reach the required score.
• Claim the SBC reward once you complete the challenge.

You can also make progress over multiple submissions, so you don't necessarily have to finish a Simplified SBC in one session.

How to Complete a Puzzle SBC

Traditional Puzzle SBCs still work around squad-building requirements. Select the SBC and carefully read every requirement before adding Players.

Requirements can include:

• Squad Rating
• Chemistry
• Player Quality
• League
• Nation
• Club

Build a squad that satisfies every requirement, review the Players you're submitting, and then complete the challenge to receive its reward.

Check Your Club Before Buying Players

Before spending Coins on the Transfer Market, check the Player Items already available in your Club.

For traditional SBCs, you may already have enough Players to meet some requirements. For Simplified SBCs, duplicate or unwanted Players can be useful because multiple eligible Items can contribute toward the required Item Score. FC 27 also lets you submit duplicate eligible Player Items to the same Simplified SBC.

Don't Submit More Than You Need

Pay close attention to the required Item Score when completing a Simplified SBC. If your selected Players greatly exceed the required score, FC 27 can warn you before submission.

Avoid using higher-value Players when lower-value Items can finish the requirement. Once a Player Item is submitted, it is permanently removed from your Club and cannot be restored by EA Advisors.

Check SBC Rewards and Expiration Dates

Always look at the available reward before starting an SBC. Also check how long the challenge remains active.

Some SBCs are available for a limited time, and you don't want to submit valuable Players toward a challenge without having enough Items to finish it.

For Simplified SBCs, partial progress is saved if you leave the challenge and return later. However, any Player Items already submitted remain permanently removed from your Club.

Use SBC Storage

SBC Storage helps you keep duplicate untradeable Player Items you want to use for future challenges.

Before buying Players from the Transfer Market, check both your Club and SBC Storage. You may already have suitable Items available, allowing you to complete the challenge without spending additional Coins.

Tips for Completing SBCs

Keep these tips in mind whenever you're completing an SBC:

• Check the reward before submitting Players.
• Read every requirement carefully.
• Use Players from your Club before buying new ones.
• Check SBC Storage for duplicates.
• Avoid submitting valuable Players unnecessarily.
• For Simplified SBCs, use the lowest-value Items that can meet the required Item Score.
• Check the expiration date.
• Review your selected Players before confirming the submission.

Final Thoughts

SBCs remain an important part of Ultimate Team in FC 27, but the new Simplified SBC format makes certain challenges much easier to complete. Use unwanted Players strategically, pay attention to Item Score requirements, and always check what you're submitting before confirming an SBC.

For traditional Puzzle SBCs, take your time to satisfy every squad requirement without unnecessarily spending your Coins.
