Vinícius Jr. Black Friday SBC: Everything You Need To Know

Vinícius Jr. is poised to dominate the spotlight this Black Friday in EA FC 25 Ultimate Team, with an upcoming Player of the Month (POTM) SBC that’s already stirring excitement. Known for his electrifying pace and elite-level skill, Vinícius Jr.’s special cards are often some of the most coveted items in the game, and this release is expected to be no different. Here’s an in-depth look at the anticipated SBC, why it’s such a big deal, and how to prepare for it.

Why Vinícius Jr.’s SBC Is A Must-Have

Vinícius Jr. is a staple in any top-tier Ultimate Team lineup. His base gold card and special Trailblazer version are both valued over one million coins on the market. The POTM SBC card is expected to have a 92 OVR, making it one of the best attacking options in the game.

Given that this SBC is expected to launch on Black Friday, it aligns perfectly with EA’s annual Black Friday event, which features enhanced rewards, unique promos, and upgrade packs that make crafting large SBCs more accessible. For fans of La Liga or Real Madrid, this SBC offers a rare opportunity to secure an untradeable version of a world-class player.

Expected Cost Of The Vinícius Jr. SBC

Historically, Player of the Month SBCs for high-profile players have been expensive, and Vinícius Jr.’s will likely follow suit. Based on similar releases like Kylian Mbappé’s Black Friday SBC from the previous year, we predict this SBC will cost between 3.5 million and 4 million coins.

Here’s a breakdown of the requirements we might see for this SBC:

3 squads requiring 89-rated players
4 squads with 88-rated players
Multiple squads with 87-rated players

The good news is that Black Friday promos will introduce numerous crafting opportunities, from exchange packs to enhanced Division Rivals and Weekend League rewards. These features will make the SBC grind more manageable for dedicated players.

Preparing For The Vinícius Jr. SBC

To complete this SBC, you’ll need to stockpile fodder. Here are some tips to get started:

Invest In High-Rated Fodder: Cards rated 88 and 89 are currently undervalued and expected to rise as SBC requirements increase during Black Friday.
Grind Upgrade Packs: Black Friday events typically include exchange packs that allow you to turn untradeable items into high-value fodder.
Save Rewards: Division Rivals and Weekend League rewards leading up to Black Friday should be saved to maximize crafting potential.

Additionally, the release of enhanced Season Objectives will provide even more resources, making this a prime time to focus on SBC grinding.

The Role Of Fodder In SBC Crafting

Fodder plays a critical role in the completion of large-scale SBCs like this one. Current market trends indicate that 85-89 rated cards are at their lowest value on Thursdays after Division Rivals rewards are distributed. This is the perfect time to stock up.
