Is the Showdown Shaw and Thuram SBC worth it?
With Showdown Shaw v Thuram coming in at 100,000 and 70,000 coins respectively. If you were to do 1, Shaw would be the one to do mainly due to his league as people rely heavily on Premier League, so he ticks one position that lacks a little in the league which is LBs. With Thuram only receiving minor upgrades, it can be hard to justify 85k into him on the hope of a +2. If Thuram had received more substantial boosts across the board, especially with his TOTW Card an 84 already and costing a fraction, then could seriously consider him.
If collecting every card in the game then those will be ideal for those after this. As both easy enough to do due to 83 and 85 rated squads for Thuram. With 84 and 85 for Shaw, it will be seen as a little steep with the volume of content released so being smart with your cards and packs like the 82x20 and 84x20 packs for example will be wise if you aim to do these.
