FC 26 Pre-Black Friday Challenge 1 SBC tasks and solutions

The Pre-Black Friday Challenge 1 SBC is now live in FC 26 Ultimate Team, and you can obtain free rewards by recycling lower-rated items.

The latest challenge has only one task, and you can use fodder that you don’t need. In return, you’ll get a bonus pack to open during the Black Friday celebrations. The requirements appear to be quite stiff, and this guide will help you complete the challenge pretty quickly.

FC 26 Pre-Black Friday Challenge 1 SBC tasks

Here are the requirements of the solo task that’s part of the SBC.

Pre-Black Friday Challenge 1

• Min. Nationalities in Squad: 3
• Max. 5 Players from the same League
• Min. 4 Players from the same Club
• Player quality: Min. Gold
• Min. Team Rating: 80
• Min. Squad Total Chemistry Points: 31

There are some stiff elements about this challenge. You’ll need to get the squad rating to at least 80 while making sure that the chemistry requirements are at 31 or higher (out of 33). Meeting such a high chemistry requirement along with other restrictions won’t be the easiest of tasks.

FC 26 Pre-Black Friday Challenge 1 SBC solutions

The primary objective is to use cards that are already available in your Ultimate Team inventory. This allows you to reduce the cost of completing the challenge and raise the overall valuation of the rewards. However, I have also added a solution template for you to try out if you get stuck.

• DeMelo CAM 80
• Scamacca ST 79
• Pasalic CAM 80
• Ana Tejada CM 77
• Baturina CM 78
• de Roon CM 81
• Laia Aleixandri CB 81
• Dahlkemper CB 80
• Hien CB 78
• Glas RB 78
• Campbell GK 81

Completing the challenge will fetch you an untradeable Prime Gold Players Pack. This pack includes 12 Gold player items, with at least one guaranteed to be rated 82 or higher. Any six of the 12 cards are guaranteed to be Rare, and there’s a high chance for you to get a walkout/promo item during the Black Friday celebrations. Make sure to complete the SBC within the next two evenings, as it will expire from Ultimate Team beyond that point.
