Solutions

Matthaus’ SBC is coming in at around 750,000 coins, roughly a 150,000 discount from buying his card on the market. That’s a solid deal for one of the better midfield players available. There are, of course, better options with all of the crazy new cards coming out lately; however, you won’t have any problems with Matthaus in your midfield. Here are some solutions to help you complete the SBC.

Born Legend and Rising Star

Don’t go out and buy players for these SBCs. You just need to grab some rare bronzes and silvers and toss them into an SBC. With 91 days to complete this SBC, you’ll easily get these done over time.
