Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Is the Alejandro Grimaldo FUTTIES SBC worth completing compared to buying his other special cards on the transfer market?

The 97-rated FUTTIES Grimaldo SBC offers excellent value at approximately 190,000 coins compared to his other market alternatives. His TOTY version (94-rated) currently costs around 76,000 coins according to FUTBIN data, but the FUTTIES version provides significant stat upgrades and four elite PlayStyles+ (Whipped Pass+, Long Ball+, Intercept+, Quickstep+) that make him more effective under the FC IQ system. The SBC is particularly worthwhile if you already have untradeable fodder in your club, as it reduces the actual coin investment. However, consider that SBC cards are untradeable, so you can’t sell them later if you want to upgrade. If you’re building a long-term squad around Grimaldo or need an endgame left-back, the FUTTIES SBC is the better investment despite the higher cost.

Q2: What are the most cost-efficient ways to complete the Grimaldo FUTTIES SBC requirements, and which segments should I prioritize first?

The most cost-efficient approach involves strategic use of untradeable fodder and market timing. Start with Task 4 (91-rated squad) first, as it’s paradoxically the cheapest despite requiring the highest rating – use high-rated fodder like 96-rated cards mixed with low-rated fillers to achieve the 91 rating economically. For the TOTS/TOTW requirements across multiple tasks, Bigas TOTS (92-rated Spanish defender) is incredibly efficient as he satisfies both Spain and special card requirements in Tasks 2 and 3. Monitor FUTBIN prices during peak reward times (Thursday/Friday) when supply increases and prices drop. Use the official EA Sports FC companion app to check your club for existing high-rated players before purchasing. Complete the Bundesliga task last, as Bundesliga players tend to be more expensive due to league popularity and limited high-rated options.
