The long-anticipated return of League SBCs in FC 25 is shaking up the market, with prices for certain players skyrocketing. If you’ve been storing unused cards in your club, now is the time to check their value. This article will cover everything you need to know about the new League SBCs, including key trends, market implications, and investment strategies.
What are league SBCs in FC 25?
League SBCs are squad-building challenges requiring players from specific leagues. In the past, completing these challenges yielded a mix of tradable and untradable rewards. The new system, however, simplifies requirements: instead of submitting an entire team, you only need a single player from each club. Despite this simplification, certain player cards—especially in specific leagues—are now commanding premium prices on the transfer market.
Requirements for the new SBCs
For example, the Ligue 1 Women’s League SBC requires:
- 11 players from the league
- A 74 overall team rating
- 26 chemistry points
This has significantly increased the demand for defensive players and goalkeepers, with gold and silver cards from the Ligue 1 Women’s league seeing massive price hikes. Gold left-backs are selling for around 2,000 coins, while goalkeepers can fetch as much as 2,700 coins.
High-demand cards to watch
Ligue 1 Women’s cards
Cards from the Ligue 1 Women’s league are experiencing a surge in value, especially in these positions:
- Goalkeepers: Typically priced at 2,500–2,700 coins.
- Left-backs and right-backs: Valued at around 2,000 coins for gold versions.
- Silver cards: Defenders and midfielders have also risen in price, particularly in rare positions.
Key men’s teams to check
Several clubs from Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 are seeing increased demand due to their limited supply of gold players:
- Paris Saint-Germain (PSG): High-value players, often reaching the max price cap.
- Le Havre AC and Olympique Lyonnais: Both clubs have players fetching premium prices.
- Strasbourg: Male and female cards from this club are priced between 2,800 and 3,000 coins.
Clubs with low supply
Teams with few or no gold players often see price hikes during League SBC events. Examples include:
- Saint-Étienne: Max-priced cards for both men’s and women’s teams.
- Angers SCO: Limited gold supply has driven prices up, with cards becoming extinct on the market.
Investment strategies for League SBCs
Monitor low-supply clubs
Focus on clubs with limited gold players or rare positions. For example, if the Bundesliga SBC drops next, clubs like St. Pauli (with no gold players) could become extremely valuable.
Diversify your club stock
Ensure your club contains cards from multiple leagues and positions, especially:
- Defenders (left-backs, right-backs, and center-backs)
- Goalkeepers
- Wide midfielders (left-wingers and right-wingers)
Keep an eye on SBC rewards
Rewards such as Premium Electrum Packs and Gold Players Packs can lead to increased supply of some cards. However, rare positions like right-backs or silver defenders often remain in demand.
Market trends from the League SBCs
The League SBCs have caused notable market shifts:
- Ligue 1 players: Gold cards like Lucas Hernández remain affordable at around 1,100 coins, while defensive players have spiked in value.
- SBC fodder: High-rated cards like Jude Bellingham have seen temporary dips but are likely to rebound midweek.
- Strikers and wingers: Out-of-pack cards like Rafael Leão have slightly dropped but may rise by Wednesday.
