Solve Entire SBC Sets
Big player SBCs are sets of 3–10 individual challenges. Set Solve completes the whole thing in one run — each challenge solved with the cheapest valid squad from your club, submitted, and the next one started automatically.
What makes sets different from single challenges
A set is not one big challenge, it is several ordinary ones behind a single reward. Each has its own rating floor, its own league or nation requirement, its own chemistry target. Nothing unlocks until all of them are done, which changes how you should approach them.
The difficulty is not any individual challenge. It is that the cards you spend on the first one are not available for the fourth. Filling a set by hand means solving the same puzzle repeatedly against a club that keeps shrinking, and it is where most wasted fodder in Ultimate Team goes.
Configure once for the whole set
Options are set a single time and apply to every challenge in the run: where cards come from, the rating cap, and the card filters. You are not re-answering the same questions seven times, and — more importantly — you are not accidentally answering them differently on challenge five than on challenge one.
The same protections, every challenge
Nothing relaxes as the set goes on:
- Excluded players are never used, including on the last challenge when options are thin.
- Special, TOTW and evolved cards stay out unless you opted them in.
- The rating cap holds for every challenge in the set.
If a late challenge cannot be solved within those limits, you are told. It does not quietly reach past your cap to finish the set, which is exactly the moment you would most regret it doing so.
When your club runs out
Sets are often more expensive than they look, and the run stopping partway is a normal outcome rather than a failure. Completed challenges stay completed. You are told what finished and what did not, and you can come back to the rest once you have more fodder.
Finding this out three challenges in is far better than finding it out after buying cards for all seven.
Knowing what the set actually cost
The result summary lists every card each challenge consumed. This is the number worth looking at, because a set's advertised reward is easy to see and its real price is not. Once you have the itemised cost you can judge whether the player you unlocked was worth the club you spent — and whether the next set like it is worth starting.
Judging whether a set is worth starting
The reward is advertised and the cost is not, which is how people end up halfway through a set they would never have begun. A reasonable habit: solve the first challenge on its own, look at what it consumed, and multiply roughly by the number of challenges remaining. Later challenges in a set are usually harder than the first, so treat that number as a floor rather than an estimate.
If the answer is more than the player is worth to you, the best move is not to start. A set abandoned at challenge one costs you almost nothing; a set abandoned at challenge five costs you a club.
Using it, step by step
- Open the SBC set page. A Solve All button appears on any set with open challenges.
- Configure once. Source, rating cap and card filters apply to every challenge in the set.
- Review the summary. Each challenge solves and submits in sequence; the final modal lists every card used.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an SBC set?
A player SBC is usually not one challenge but a group of them — often three to ten — that all have to be completed before the reward unlocks. Each has its own requirements, and the set is only finished when every challenge inside it is.
Will it tell me the total cost before I commit?
The result summary itemises what every challenge consumed, so you know the true cost of the set once it is done. To judge before starting, solve the first challenge on its own and look at what it took.
What if my club runs out partway through a set?
The run stops and tells you which challenges completed and which did not. A partly finished set is not lost — the completed challenges stay completed and you can finish the rest later.
Does it use my good cards on the harder challenges?
Not unless you allow it. The rating cap, the exclude list and the special-card toggles apply to every challenge in the set. A late challenge with steep requirements will report that it cannot be solved rather than reaching past your limits.
Can I skip challenges I have already done?
Yes — already-completed challenges are left alone. The run covers the open ones.
