Pro Tips for Budget Completion
The TOTW requirement in Task 2 makes it slightly pricier, since special cards trade above their ratings. To minimize costs:
- Check FUTBIN for real-time market prices before buying
- Use untradeable duplicates from your club first
- Complete during off-peak hours (weekday mornings) for better prices
- Snipe 84-rated fodder listed below market value
Which Player Should You Choose?
Yeremy Pino is the smart pick for most squads. As a Spanish Premier League player, he’s dramatically easier to link on full chemistry. His pace and dribbling stats make him perfect for wing play, and Crystal Palace’s Conference League run offers realistic upgrade opportunities.
Zalazar suits niche Portuguese League or Braga-themed builds but faces chemistry challenges in hybrid squads.
Upgrade Path Explained
Both cards can receive up to five performance-based upgrades through the UEFA competition structure:
- +1 OVR when their team earns 7+ points in the next four matches
- Role+ and PlayStyle for player appearances in winning matches
- Role++ and PlayStyle for goals/assists or clean sheets
- PlayStyle+ if the team finishes top 8 in their competition
