Is James Rodriguez’s card worth it?
After a 2-2 draw against Liverpool FC, Everton FC is still enthroned at the top of the table in the English Premier League. James once again secured a goal. Nevertheless, the Colombian’s OTW SBC is only worthwhile to a limited extent.
This is mainly due to his low tempo value (58 pace) and lack of stamina (67). With the Catalyst Chem-Style he gets +10 speed and a pass value of 92, but he doesn’t fit into the meta of FIFA 21 because of his lack of speed. 3-4 Inform cards could change the situation, but it’s questionable if Rodriguez actually gets them.
Only complete if you can use enough players from your own team.
OTW James Rodriguez – The cheapest SBC solution
The SBC in FIFA 21 Ultimate Team costs about 19,000 coins, which is really not much. For that, you also only have to give a team with moderate requirements:
Team with a player from the Premier League (82 OVR, min. 65 chemistry, min. 1 TOTW card).
Team 1: James Rodriguez
Our SBC solution this time takes us through a team from the German Bundesliga, where Mesut Özil of Arsenal London bridges the gap to the Premier League. As a TOTW card, we go for Berat Djimsiti of Atalanta Bergamo here, who costs just under 10,000 coins. However, any other Inform card you may have already drawn will also work here.
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.
