Strategic Considerations for the SBC
When deciding if the 1 of 3 91+ TOTS Summer Tournament Nations Player Pick is worth your resources, consider the current state of your squad. Because this is a player pick, you are guaranteed three options, which significantly increases the odds of finding a card that fits your current team chemistry or playstyle. For more details on team building, check out our FC 26 coverage and our guides.
Always verify the current market value of the players required for the SBC submission. If the cost of the required fodder exceeds the average value of the players you are likely to pull, it may be more efficient to purchase your desired cards directly from the transfer market. However, if you have a surplus of untradeable cards, this SBC provides an excellent opportunity to recycle them into high-tier TOTS items.
