Solutions

While Xavi is one of the best players ever to grace the world’s game, his FIFA card doesn’t have quite as much presence. Unfortunately, his style of play doesn’t really fit the game’s meta, making him relatively cheap to pick up on the market. With that said, this SBC isn’t prohibitively expensive if he’s one of your favorite players, but you can likely find more success with other players. Here are some solutions if you do decide to complete it.

Born Legend and Rising Star

Don’t go out and buy players for these SBCs. You just need to grab some rare bronzes and silvers and toss them into an SBC. With 91 days to complete this SBC, you’ll easily get these done over time.
