Is it worth completing the Sanchez SBC?
As with every Icon SBC, let's kick things off with the reminder that regardless of whether you plan to complete the full SBC or not, please make sure you always complete the Born Legend and Rising Star segments. The reason for this is that you are clearing out some bronze and silver players to get Four tradable rare golds in total, and there's always that chance of packing something amazing.
EA has priced the Sanchez SBC poorly however in relation to his card on the market, however with the options available for the price, these go against Sanchez, but regardless it's definitely something that you can craft towards over the next month with duplicate untradables that you need to get rid of as well as objective and rewards, but is it worth focusing on?
Complete or Yeet? Yeet. With what is available at this stage of the game, he is certainly one card which may appeal to some who strive for every card, but sadly with the current chemistry system and other options best to pass on the card.
