The excitement around player SBCs in FC 24 is heating up as EA Sports continues to drop high-caliber transfer and special cards, with yesterday’s release setting a new benchmark. Players are eagerly anticipating what’s next, particularly with the potential release of a guaranteed Footies player pick. If EA follows the trend from FIFA 23, today could bring some thrilling new content.
Yesterday’s Player SBC: Riccardo Calafiori
One of the standout additions was the 98-rated Riccardo Calafiori, also known as the “Young Maldini.” This highly anticipated transfer player SBC features impressive stats like 97 Pace, 97 Defending, and 99 Physical, making him a versatile option as both a left back and center back. Calafiori’s Italian roots and his recent performances in Serie A and the Euros have made this card a must-have for many players, especially Arsenal fans.
Calafiori’s SBC is reasonably priced at 231,000 coins, requiring 84, 99, 91, and 92 rated squads. While it may not be the most meta card available, it offers excellent value, especially considering the new club links and his premium Footies status. Whether you’re an Arsenal supporter or just looking to add a top-tier defender to your squad, this SBC is a fun and worthwhile challenge.
95+ Player Pick: A Mixed Bag
Another major release was the 95+ Player Pick, which aimed to give players a better chance at pulling those coveted 99-rated Footies cards. Although it includes higher ratings, the community’s reaction has been mixed. While the SBC is craftable with 92-rated squads and doesn’t break the bank, the overall improvement over the 94+ pick has been marginal.
Many players reported pulling more 97 and 98-rated Footies cards, like Kevin De Bruyne, but the overall weight didn’t feel significantly better than the previous 94+ Player Pick. Despite this, the 95+ Player Pick remains one of the best options for chasing high-rated Footies cards, and with its repeatable nature, it’s still worth doing daily.
What’s Next? Potential Footies Player Pick
Speculation is rife that EA Sports will release a guaranteed Footies Player Pick today, mirroring last year’s FIFA 23 content drop. If this happens, players could see a 94+ Footies Player Pick, which historically came out on the same Wednesday last year. The requirements for this SBC could be steep, possibly even involving a four-squad requirement, making it a tough but rewarding challenge.
Given EA’s focus on FC 25 development, many are expecting some recycled content in these final stages of FC 24. However, if today’s Footies Player Pick is repeatable and includes multiple chances to grab top-tier cards, it could be a massive win for the community.
Preparing for Future Content
As we move towards the endgame content, it’s important to manage your resources wisely. If you’re holding onto high-value Footies cards from Team 4 or 5, it might be a good idea to sell them before Friday’s potential re-release, which could cause prices to drop. Stay ahead of the market and keep an eye out for the latest updates.
