## Segment 1: ROSHN Saudi League

**Requirements:**

- Min. 1 ROSHN Saudi League player
- Squad Rating: Min 84
- Team Size: 11 players

**Cheapest Solution Strategy:** Focus on 84-rated fodder from major leagues. Use one cheap Saudi League player (any position works) to meet the requirement. Fill remaining spots with the lowest-priced 84s from LaLiga, Premier League, or Serie A.

**Estimated Cost:** ~12,200 coins

**Reward:** Premium Gold Pack (Tradeable)

**Pro Tip:** Check your club first! Many players have untradeable 84s from recent packs that drastically reduce costs.

## Segment 2: Top Form

**Requirements:**

- Min. 1 Team of the Week (TOTW) player
- Squad Rating: Min 84
- Team Size: 11 players

**Cheapest Solution Strategy:** The TOTW requirement is the expensive part. Target the cheapest current TOTW player (usually a 75-79 rated option around 10-12k). Balance the squad rating by mixing 83s and 85s—it’s cheaper than using all 84s.

**Estimated Cost:** ~23,500 coins

**Reward:** Small Prime Electrum Players Pack (Tradeable)

**Money-Saving Trick:** Wednesday evening TOTW releases often cause market crashes. Wait for new TOTW announcements if you’re not in a hurry.

## Is Marcos Leonardo Worth It?

The 85-rated World Tour version features 4-star weak foot and 4-star skill moves, making him versatile in attack. His Brazilian nationality and solid links to the Saudi League offer interesting hybrid opportunities, especially with players like Neymar or Karim Benzema.

**Best Uses:**

- Brazilian/Saudi hybrid squads
- Supersub with pace and agility
- SBC fodder (85-rated with chemistry boosts)

At around 35-38k total cost, he’s reasonably priced for an 85-rated special card. The tradeable packs you receive help offset the investment, potentially recovering 10-15k depending on pack luck.

## Step-by-Step Completion Guide

**Step 1:** Empty your club of applicable untradeable cards first **Step 2:** Complete the cheaper ROSHN Saudi League segment **Step 3:** Snipe TOTW players during off-peak hours (early morning best) **Step 4:** Use FUTBIN’s [SBC solver](https://www.futbin.com/squad-building-challenges) for real-time pricing updates **Step 5:** Submit both segments and claim your packs immediately

## Frequently Asked Questions

### **Q: Should I complete this SBC or buy Marcos Leonardo from the transfer market?**

If you have untradeable fodder, absolutely complete the SBC—you’re essentially converting unused cards into a usable player. However, if you’re buying everything fresh from the market, consider purchasing him directly as his price typically drops 3-4 days after SBC release.

### **Q: Can I use the tradeable pack rewards to reduce the SBC cost?**

Yes! The two tradeable packs can return 10-15k on average, effectively lowering your net cost to around 20-25k. Always open packs immediately and sell valuable pulls while prices are high before the Weekend League supply increase.
