LALIGA Player of the Month Raphinha is the most expensive player SBC in FC 27. The 89-rated Barcelona forward costs about 1.65 million coins on fut.gg today, up from about 1.23 million last night. Creators call him S-tier meta, but a 90-rated Ultimate Scream Raphinha is expected in packs from tonight, so most players should wait.

Raphinha SBC: cost and requirements
- Cost: about 1,647,000 coins on fut.gg’s cheapest route (Friday 23 October, 11:30 CEST). futbin has it at about 1.74 million.
- Item Score target: 1,300,000, in one Streamlined challenge
- Expires: around Friday 30 October
- Repeatable: no, and the card is untradeable
- Released: Friday 2 October
Every big SBC rose by about a third overnight, because fodder always climbs on the day a new promo starts. If you still want him, wait until the market settles after the weekend. He has a week left.
Raphinha’s card: the good and the bad
- Positions: ST, plus RM, LM, CAM, RW and LW
- Skills / weak foot: 4★ / 4★
- Height / AcceleRATE: 176 cm, Explosive
- PlayStyles: Finesse Shot, Power Shot, Rapid, Trickster, Quick Step and Relentless, plus
Low Driven Shot+
The good: 91 Acceleration and 92 Sprint Speed with both Rapid and Quick Step. 89 Finishing, 90 Attacking Position and Low Driven Shot+ make him deadly inside the box. He plays six positions, and 92 Stamina with Relentless keeps him running all game.
The bad: there is no Technical, so the dribbling is not quite as smooth as the best female cards. 86 Short Passing is fine but not great for a CAM.
What the creators say
InceptionFC reviewed Raphinha and Groß in one video. He found Raphinha quick on the dribble, a strong finisher and willing to track back, and played him best up front. He calls him “Full meta S tier” and recommends him if you can afford it.
Morsey liked him most at LW in a 4-2-1-3, cutting in for low driven and finesse shots. He calls him a card you can keep for months. He also points out that the gold card has the same PlayStyles and costs far less, while the POTM only adds a point on defending, physical and passing.
Futcard Review gives him 9.1 out of 10, but his verdict at about 1.7 million is to sell, not complete. The card is great, the price is not.

Our verdict: wait for Ultimate Scream
Wait. Don’t do the Raphinha POTM SBC this weekend. Leakers show a 90-rated Ultimate Scream Raphinha as the headliner of Team 1, which is expected in packs tonight at 6pm UK. The leaked card is a CAM with 93 pace, 88 shooting and 90 passing, so it beats the POTM almost everywhere. Ultimate Scream cards usually also get upgrades during the promo.
Do the POTM only if you have a club full of untradeable fodder and you want a striker you will never need to replace. For everyone else, 1.65 million in bought fodder is too much the night a better version arrives. Track Team 1 on our Ultimate Scream Team 1 page.
