Keep an Eye on the Market
Before you tackle these challenges, remember that the market in FC 25 can fluctuate. Prices mentioned here are based on current trends but may shift as demand for certain players rises. To avoid overspending, sell off any valuable players you pack early and remain flexible when building your squads. Use alternative players or formations if a specific player becomes too expensive.
By following these tips and solutions, you’ll be well on your way to completing all the Hybrid SBCs and building a competitive squad without breaking the bank. Keep an eye on the market, optimize your teams, and enjoy your rewards!
