Best way to complete the 87 On this Day Icon Buffon
The On This Day Icon Buffon SBC has just landed! He’s 4 ratings lower than his Base version, but I can still see this one being a hit with players. Let’s break down the most efficient way to complete his SBC. This article is powered by Score More With Xbox.
The Cost
This SBC is priced at 311,000 coins and requires nine squads to complete. While that might sound like a big commitment, several of the squads are low-rated, including a Bronze and a Silver squad, which makes it a bit more manageable.
Here’s the breakdown on the cards you’ll need to complete the various squads for this SBC:
- 2x TOTW cards
- 10x 88-rated cards
- 2x 87-rated cards
- 7x 86-rated cards
- A mix of 82-rated to 85-rated cards.
The 88-rated cards are the most expensive part of this SBC, coming in at around 140k. However, with many people likely having untradeable informs and other required cards already in their clubs, the overall coin cost could be significantly reduced.
Breaking Down the Squads
You will need to complete nine squads, here’s a quick look at what each individual squad requires:
Born Legend: You’ll need a full Bronze Rare team
Rising Star: You’ll need a full Silver Rare team
On a Loan: You’ll need an 83 rated squad
The Old Lady: You’ll need an 83 rated squad, with a player from Juventus.
Italy: You’ll need an 84 rated squad., with a player from Italy.
League Legend: You’ll need an 85 rated squad, with a player from Serie A.
Top-notch: You’ll need an 86 rated squad.
87-Rated Squad: To finish, you’ll need two 87 rated squads.
You’ve got around 30 days to finish this SBC, which is plenty of time. Most of the squads are fairly cheap, but the 87-rated squads might take some effort to complete if you’re trying to avoid spending coins.
Is it worth it?
Now, let’s talk about value. The 87-rated On This Day Icon Buffon SBC is priced at around 310k coins, which is similar to the cheapest Icon goalkeepers out there. Overall, I’d say it’s a fair price.
The card itself is solid and comes with a good PlayStyle+. The downside is the lower Handling stat and the lack of additional PlayStyles outside his PlayStyle+.
That said, having an Icon goalkeeper for chemistry is a big advantage. Overall, this is a good card at a reasonable price. I’d definitely recommend completing it, and yes, he’s going straight into my team.
