The FUT Birthday in FIFA 21 has started and EA Sports doesn’t hesitate to give us cards. Perhaps the best new content apart from Team 1 so far is the SBC for Mesut Özil. We have the most affordable solution for you here.

Mesut Özil could have easily gotten an End of an Era SBC. Seems like everyone thinks the man has retired after finally being away from Arsenal. Folks, he’s still playing! His FIFA 21 FUT Birthday SBC is all the proof we need.

The FIFA 21 Mesut Özil FUT Birthday SBC Card

• Position: ZOM
• Nationality: Germany
• League: Süper Lig
• Team: Fenerbahçe
• GES: 90
• Skill Moves: 4 Stars
• Weak foot: 5 stars
• Price: approx. 145,000 coins
• Expires on: April 3

FUT Birthday Mesut Özil is everything you need from the ZOM position and more. All of his real-life qualities are perfectly reflected in this card: 96 ball control, 95 vision, 93 short passing and dribbling. Additionally, his speed is at 87, so we don’t need to use up our Chemistry Style resources for that.

Instead, we’ll go with Maestro and get the most out of Özil’s passing, dribbling, and shooting stats. When you have a player with 4-star skill moves and a 5-star weak foot, that’s the definition of a Swiss Army knife.

The most favorable solution
Two teams must be surrendered for the FUT Birthday Özil:

• Min. one Real Madrid player, min. one TOTW player, min. 83 GES, min. 75 chemistry.
• Min. one German player, min. 84 GES, min. 65 chemistry

Team 1: Real Madrid
The first squad has a few requirements that must be met. With Marco Asensio from Real Madrid and Jeroen Zoet from TOTW 26 we get away cheap. Cost: 55,000 coins.

FIFA Squad Building Challenges (short SBC)

The FIFA Squad Building Challenges (SBC for short) are about putting together a team according to certain specifications. They are an important part of FIFA Ultimate Team (FUT) and bring coins, valuable packs or special cards when fulfilled.

For the most part, you’ll have to line up eleven players that you have in your club and then send this squad off. These players will then disappear from your club. In return, you’ll receive a reward, such as a pack or a special card. As with FIFA 19, FIFA 20 and FIFA 21 we will report about the latest SBCs for FIFA 22 here and help you to judge if it is worth to complete a challenge.

START WITH THE SQUAD BUILDING CHALLENGES

In Squad Building Challenges (SBCs), you can use your player items to build unique teams based on various challenge conditions. You can then submit these to receive bonuses.

Here’s how:

• From the FIFA 22 main menu, select the FIFA Ultimate Team section.
• In the home page section, select Squad Building Challenges and call them up.
• Select the challenge you want to complete. They are grouped by category.

Create a team.

• Using items from your club or from the transfer market, build a team that meets the challenge conditions. Usually this is a mix of player quality, team chemistry, team value, nationalities, leagues and clubs.

Master the Challenge to submit your team and receive bonuses.

• All SBC submissions cannot be undone. Once you complete an SBC, the submitted items will be permanently removed from your club in exchange for bonuses. Our consultants cannot restore submitted items.
• For some SBCs, you will only have a limited amount of time to complete them. Once a challenge has expired, you will no longer be able to submit a team.

More details about SBCs

1. Some SBCs consist of multiple challenges with individual bonuses and a larger overall completion bonus. Other challenges are single challenges.
2. Some SBCs are repeatable. You have a chance to get different bonuses for each team submission, but you might also get the same bonus.
3. SBCs are available in all FIFA 22 versions, but they can vary depending on the platform. Bonuses can also vary from platform to platform.
