Is the Lampard SBC Worth It

 

Frank Lampard's On This Day Icon card offers well-rounded stats, multiple playstyles, and flexible roles. However, its price point is a significant drawback. While the card features decent meta utility, including the Relentless+ playstyle, there are stronger midfield options available for a similar investment in FIFA 25 Coins or time. Unless you're a diehard fan of Super Frank or aiming to complete an England-themed squad, this SBC may not deliver the best value.

 

The six tasks require a considerable number of high-rated players, including Premier League stars and Team of the Week cards, which can make it an expensive endeavor. Players building their Ultimate Team from scratch or focusing on FC 25 Players with better chemistry and playstyles may find alternative SBCs or tradable cards more appealing.

 

Tips for Managing FIFA 25 Coins and Resources

 

If you're determined to complete this challenge, it's essential to manage your resources wisely. Here are some tips:

 

    Sniping Players: Use the transfer market to snipe required players like TOTW items or Premier League stars during off-peak hours.

    Using Untradeables: Check your club for untradeable Rare Bronze, Silver, and Gold players to minimize expenses.

    Targeted Pack Openings: If you're opening packs, focus on promos that include TOTW or Premier League players to maximize your chances of pulling required items.

    Focus on FC 25 Players: Utilize versatile FC 25 Players with higher chemistry and potential synergy with other squad members to reduce additional spending.

 

Final Verdict

 

The Frank Lampard On This Day Icon SBC is a fantastic tribute to one of football's greatest midfielders. However, its steep cost in FIFA 25 Coins makes it a questionable investment for most players, especially considering the range of affordable FC 25 Players that can provide equal or better value. If you have a surplus of coins or untradeable assets in your club, completing the SBC might be worth it for nostalgia and squad diversity. Otherwise, it's best to save your resources for future challenges or player upgrades.

 

Whether you choose to unlock Lampard or pass on this SBC, remember to assess your squad's needs and stay strategic in your approach to building the ultimate team.
