EA Sports introduced a new 87+ Upgrade x10 squad-building challenge (SBC) to FIFA 21 Ultimate Team today that will reward players who complete it with 10 87-rated or higher cards that are available in FUT packs right now.
This SBC comes as a great opportunity to pack some of the 200 special cards that were reintroduced to FUT packs last week. The selection includes cards from Team of the Year (TOTY), Team of the Season (TOTS), Path to Glory, and Summer Stars promotions, the four best promos in FIFA 21 Ultimate Team. This could be your chance to pack Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi’s 99-rated cards, for example.
But, as always, there’s also a chance that this loot box gives you awful items that will just serve as fodder instead of making it into your Ultimate Team. This is a repeatable SBC that will be live for six days, which means you can complete it as many times you want until it expires.
You’ll have to complete five segments to obtain your Aug. 18’s 87+ Upgrade x10 pack and you’ll earn a tradeable pack for each squad you turn in, which helps to decrease the total cost of the SBC. The most expensive squad you’ll have to turn in is an 84-rated one, which costs around 70,000 FUT coins on PlayStation and Xbox and 90,000 FUT coins on PC at the moment.
Here are all the segments that you need to complete to complete the new 87+ Upgrade x10 SBC.
| Segment | Conditions | Reward |
|---|---|---|
| 80-rated squad | 80-rated squad with a minimum of 30 team chemistry. | Two players pack |
| 81-rated squad | 81-rated squad with a minimum of 30 team chemistry. | Small electrum players pack |
| 82-rated squad | 82-rated squad with a minimum of 35 team chemistry. | Gold pack |
| 83-rated squad | 83-rated squad with a minimum of 40 team chemistry plus one Inform or TOTS card in it. | Small gold players pack |
| 84-rated squad | 84-rated squad with a minimum of 45 team chemistry plus one Inform or TOTS card in it. | Premium gold pack |
All the squads combined will cost you around 210,000 FUT coins on console and 265,000 FUT coins on PC if you buy all the cards listed below. You’ll also have plenty of time to craft some fodder, especially with the Division Rivals and FUT Champions rewards being delivered tomorrow.
Here’s the cheapest solution to complete Aug. 18’s 87+ Upgrade x10 SBC right now, according to FUTBIN, a website that specializes in FIFA content.
