Solid wins

Not quite jackpot level, but still strong returns compared to the cost:

  • Capdevila (86 LB) โ€“ 190K
  • Guti (86 CM) โ€“ 133K
  • Bompastor (86 LB) โ€“ 128K
  • Ljungberg (86 LM) โ€“ 121K
  • Riise (86 LB) โ€“ 115K
  • Giuly (86 RM) โ€“ 113K
  • Donovan (86 CAM) โ€“ 98K
  • Park Ji Sung (86 LM) โ€“ 97,5K
  • Howard (85 GK) โ€“ 97K
  • Rosickรฝ (86 CAM) โ€“ 89K

Even though these are mid-tier pulls, youโ€™re still coming out ahead.

Break-even territory

These Heroes sit close to the SBC price and are more like neutral pulls:

  • Scott (85 RB) โ€“ 78,5K
  • Solskjรฆr (86 ST) โ€“ 74K
  • Williams (86 CM) โ€“ 74K
  • Beasley (85 LM) โ€“ 68K
  • Carragher (86 CB) โ€“ 66K
  • Kuyt (86 CAM) โ€“ 58K
  • Dudek (86 GK) โ€“ 55K
  • Al Jaber (86 ST) โ€“ 54K

Pulling these wonโ€™t hurt too much, but it also wonโ€™t feel like a win.

The worst-case scenario

Hereโ€™s where the SBC becomes a real gamble. Land one of these and youโ€™re taking a clear loss:

  • Crouch (85 ST) โ€“ 45K
  • Dempsey (85 CAM) โ€“ 39K
  • Cahill (85 ST) โ€“ 31,5K
  • Kanu (86 ST) โ€“ 28K
  • Noor (85 CAM) โ€“ 25.75K

These are the true โ€œfodder pullsโ€ that will sting if they show up in your pack.

Verdict

At just 60K coins, the SBC offers a good risk-to-reward ratio. The chance of packing high-value Heroes like Ramires, Matuidi, Doumbia, or Al Owairan makes it tempting, but the risk of hitting Noor, Kanu, or Cahill is very real.

If youโ€™re sitting on spare fodder or untradeables, this SBC is worth a shot. Just be ready for the gamble.
