The Cost

This SBC comes with a hefty price tag of 1,305,100 coins and requires the completion of 15 squads. It’s a significant commitment, both in terms of coins and time, for those looking to bring this card into their club.

Here’s the breakdown on the cards you’ll need to complete the various squads for this SBC:

• 4x TOTW cards
• 6x 90-rated cards
• 24x 89-rated cards
• 36x 88-rated cards
• 6x 87-rated cards
• A mix of 82-rated to 85-rated cards.

This SBC is undeniably a monumental task. The 87+ rated cards required are not only difficult to acquire but also extremely costly, further adding to the already substantial challenge of completing this SBC.

Breaking Down the Squads

You will need to complete fifteen 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

Les Bleus: You’ll need an 85 rated squad, with a TOTW and player from France.

League Legend: You’ll need an 85 rated squad, with a TOTW player and a player from the Premier League.

Top-notch: You’ll need an 86 rated squad, with a TOTW player.

86-Rated Squad: You’ll need an 86 rated squad, with a TOTW player.

87-Rated Squad: You’ll need two 87 rated squads.

88-Rated Squad: You’ll need three 88 rated squads.

89-Rated Squad: To finish, you’ll need three 89 rated squads.

You’ve got about 9 weeks to complete this SBC, which is a generous timeframe and should be sufficient to finish it.

Is it worth it?

Now, let’s talk about value. The 90-rated Thunderstruck Icon Vieira SBC is priced at around 1.3 million coins, roughly the same as his tradeable version. However, it’s worth noting that the tradeable version’s price is likely to drop over time.

The card itself is undoubtedly top-tier, arguably one of the best CM/CDMs in the game. He has incredible defending and physicality, excellent Roles, and those all-important Icon links to help with chemistry.

The only downside? The sheer cost and time commitment. At nearly 1.3 million coins, this SBC demands a significant investment of both time and coins.

So is he worth it? Short answer is yes, but the long answer is wait and see what other SBCs are released during TOTY.
