Jackson SBC: cost and requirements
| What | Detail |
|---|---|
| Cheapest solution | about 19,600 to 20,100 coins (Saturday 14 November, 13:09 to 13:13 CET) |
| Requirement | one challenge, players rated 45 or higher, combined score of 17,000 |
| Cheapest fodder | about 20 cards rated 84 |
| Fewer cards | two 87s, one 86 and one 85 for about 20,800 coins |
| Released | Friday 13 November, 13:00 CET |
| Expires | Friday 11 December, 13:00 CET |
He opened at about 20,900 coins on Friday and has sat around 20,000 since. If you have a few untradeable 86s and 87s lying around, the four-card route costs almost the same on paper and saves your 84s for other SBCs.

The good
He is the all-rounder of the October POTM strikers. 85 acceleration and 83 sprint speed are enough to run in behind, 87 dribbling with 4★ skills, Technical and First Touch keep the ball close at speed, and 89 finishing with 91 positioning puts him in the right place to use it.
Then there is the air game: 94 jumping and 87 heading at 187 cm is rare on a striker who also moves like this. Gamechanger adds the flashy finishes, Low Driven Shot the safe one, and Relentless keeps him going for the full match.
His five PlayStyles:
- Low Driven Shot
- Gamechanger
- Technical
- First Touch
- Relentless
The bad
No PlayStyle+ is the ceiling on this card. He is good at everything and elite at nothing, so better strikers will replace him sooner than a specialist with a plus.
A 3★ weak foot means you want chances on his right, 77 long shots make him a box striker, and 66 penalties is a reason to give spot kicks to someone else. Controlled AcceleRATE is neutral: fine, not a boost.
Jackson or Füllkrug?
The Bundesliga POTM striker is still live and costs less. They are not the same kind of player.
| POTM Jackson | POTM Füllkrug | |
|---|---|---|
| Price (Saturday 14 November, 13:09 CET) | about 20,110 | about 14,260 |
| Face stats | 84/85/75/85/46/82 | 74/90/79/86/60/89 |
| Acceleration / sprint speed | 85 / 83 | 67 / 80 |
| Skills / weak foot | 4★ / 3★ | 3★ / 4★ |
| PlayStyle+ | none | none |
| Price vote | 86% positive | 69% positive |
| SBC ends | 11 December | 10 December |
Füllkrug shoots harder and is stronger, but 18 points of acceleration is the difference between getting the chance and not getting it. For about 6,000 coins more, Jackson is the one most squads can actually start. Our Füllkrug review is here.
What the community thinks
| Vote | Result |
|---|---|
| SBC price | 86% positive (809 votes) |
| Card rating | 86% positive (254 votes) |
| Tier placement | most voters put him in the second tier (308 votes) |
| Most picked chemistry style | Hunter (70%), then Engine (13%) and Hawk (11%) |
Hunter is the clear favourite and takes his pace and shooting up together. Hawk is worth a look if you want more strength without giving up the pace boost.
Our verdict: worth it
Do the Jackson SBC if you play a Premier League squad and your striker is still a gold card or an early promo item. About 20,000 coins for a quick, tall, 4★ skill striker with no real hole in the stats is a fair deal, and the vote agrees.
He is not a card for the whole season, because there is no PlayStyle+ to keep him relevant. With the SBC open until 11 December, the only reason to wait is if you would rather spend this week’s fodder on the SBCs that end first.
