The Player of the Month (POTM) Alexia Putellas SBC has just been released, and while it’s a fantastic card, adding her to your team will come at a premium. Before jumping in, let’s break down the most efficient approach to complete it. This article is powered by Score More With Xbox.
The Cost
This SBC is priced at 1,474,900 coins and requires completing 14 squads, making it the largest SBC seen in FC 25 so far, a significant commitment. I’ll break down the pros and cons to help you decide whether this investment is worthwhile.
Here’s the breakdown on the cards you’ll need to complete the various squads for this SBC:
- 6x Team of the Week (TOTW) players
- 2x 89-rated cards
- 49x 88-rated cards
- 13x 86-rated cards
- A mix of 85-rated to 83-rated cards.
The TOTW and 88-rated cards are indeed the most costly components of this SBC, with a requirement for a staggering 49 cards at an 88 rating. This will demand a substantial coin investment, as it’s unlikely that anyone has even half that amount in their club. It’s a significant financial commitment for those looking to complete this SBC.
Breaking Down the Squads
You will need to complete fourteen squads, here’s a quick look at what each individual squad requires:
FC Barcelona: You’ll need an 85 rated squad, with a TOTW, and also a player from FC Barcelona.
Spain: You’ll need an 85 rated squad, with a TOTW, and also a player from Spain.
Top Form: You’ll need an 85 rated squad, with a TOTW.
86-Rated Squad: You’ll need three 86 rated squads.
86-Rated Squad (with a TOTW): You’ll need two 86 rated squads, with a TOTW.
87-Rated Squad: You’ll need four 87 rated squads.
87-Rated Squad (with a TOTW): You’ll need an 87 rated squad, with a TOTW.
88-Rated Squad: To finish, you’ll need an 88 rated squad.
You have about 26 days to complete this SBC, which usually would make it easier to finish gradually. However, given the high cost of the requirements, the extra time is helpful but doesn’t make this SBC easy to complete, it’s still a major undertaking.
Is it worth it?
Now, let’s talk about value. The 91-rated POTM Putellas SBC is currently priced around 1.4 million coins, which is quite costly for most players. Compared to her 91-rated Total Rush card, which goes for about 1.6 million, it’s somewhat fairly priced. However, considering her 90-rated gold card is only around 340k, this SBC does feel overpriced by comparison.
The card itself is outstanding, featuring 5* skill moves and 5* weak foot, along with excellent in-game attributes, amazing Roles, and great PlayStyles. It’s hard to find any real downsides here, she’s one of the best options in the game for an attacking CM or CAM role.
There are no real downsides to this card itself; the main drawback is simply the high cost of completing the SBC.
Overall, this card is elite-tier, and you won’t find many better options in her position. However, the SBC’s high cost will likely prevent many players from completing it. Deciding on this one comes down to personal preference and whether you can justify the investment. If you do go for it, she’ll undoubtedly be a game-changer and could hold a spot in your main team for months. That said, I personally wouldn’t commit such a large number of coins to an untradeable card this early in the game, even knowing her long-term potential.
