FC 27 Goretzka FC Heritage SBC: the card
Goretzka is an 86 CDM with the FC Heritage item type, in the same shattered design as the Hall of FUT: Unleashed team. EA lists FC Heritage SBCs as part of that campaign. He plays for Aston Villa on this card, so he has Premier League and Germany links, and he can also play CM and CAM.
| PAC | SHO | PAS | DRI | DEF | PHY | Skills / WF | Other positions |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 82 | 82 | 85 | 84 | 84 | 86 | 3 star / 4 star | CM, CAM |
Aston VillaPlayStyles: Power Shot, Incisive Pass, Pinged Pass, Slide Tackle and Bruiser. He is 189cm, right footed and has the Lengthy AcceleRATE type, with 90 short passing and 89 strength as the standout in-game stats.
The face stats match the 10 November leak exactly. With no stat under 82 he is a true all-rounder: he can sit as a holding CDM or go box to box at CM, and the Premier League link makes him easy to fit.
Goretzka SBC requirements and cost
| Detail | Goretzka SBC |
|---|---|
| Format | One Streamlined challenge |
| Eligible players | Any player rated 45 or higher |
| Price at release | About 130K (19:02 CET) |
| Cheapest route | About 129.5K in 84 rated cards (157 of them); about 125K at 19:02, with a dip to about 111K at 19:25 |
| Fewer cards | About 136K with 107 cards |
| Ends | Sat 21 Nov, 6pm UK |
Florenzi, the first SBC of this campaign, costs about 380K and only about one in five community voters backed that price. Goretzka is about a third of that for the same 86 rating, which makes him the far easier card to justify. Early community votes are cool on the price: just over one in four back it.
Verdict: worth it if you run a Premier League or Germany midfield and have untradeable 84s and 85s in the club. Do not rush: he is available for a week, and the cheapest route moved between about 111K and about 130K in the first 75 minutes, so the price can still settle lower.
Striker School: a free evolution for a cheap striker
The second new item on Saturday is Striker School, a free evolution for strikers rated 74 or lower. It adds up to 40 overall, enough to take a 60 rated bronze striker to 81, and training takes one day.
| Detail | Striker School |
|---|---|
| Cost | Free |
| Who fits | ST, max 74 overall, max 85 acceleration and sprint speed, max 7 PlayStyles |
| Upgrade | Up to 81 overall, 3 star skills, 4 star weak foot |
| Training time | 1 day |
| Start by | Thu 26 Nov, 6pm UK |
| Finish by | Thu 3 Dec |
The pace cap is the catch: the fastest cheap strikers are locked out, so the result is a squad filler or a fun club legend more than a starter.
Chiesa: still to come
Federico Chiesa leaked next to Goretzka on 10 November as an 86 RM for Liverpool with 92 pace. He did not arrive on Saturday, and EA has not confirmed the card or a date. The image above is from the leak.
Last chance this weekend
Nothing expired at 6pm UK on Saturday. Sunday is the deadline for Calafiori and for the free Strings of Fate evolution.

Calafiori is the one to decide on: an 86 LB with a 5 star weak foot who also plays CB and CDM. His price fell from about 149K on release to about 126K on Saturday afternoon, before the new SBC lifted it to about 135K. Our Calafiori section in the SBC hub has the upgrade path.

Reviews of the three newest player SBCs: Florenzi, Jackson and Füllkrug.
