The 93+ TOTS/TOTS Moments/Shapeshifters Player Pick SBC is live and it's an absolute doozy.
With another shot at the elite TOTS items and one of the final opportunities of the Shapeshifters promo to pick up an elite Shapeshifter card, this is incredibly enticing. But EA know this, and as such the price is steep.
How much does the 93+ TOTS/TOTS Moments/Shapeshifters Player Pick SBC cost?
Needing two segments, including an 88-Rated Squad with one TOTS or TOTW item and a 90-Rated Squad this SBC is coming in at 267.9K coins.
This is very steep from a pure cost perspective. However, unlike 6-8 weeks ago when I said that a 90 rated squad was unobtainable to have held in your club, now it is more than likely that you have one solely made up of cards you don't use. From all the player objectives we've had during shapeshifters, to the insane amount of fodder packs from season objectives and SBC's, fodder has never been cheaper.
For me, I was able to do the entire SBC without buying anyone or giving up a player I needed for a team. With the expected batch releases of cards coming soon, this is now the time to unload all those specials cards you were keeping for a rainy day. You also get 50k in pack value back from the SBC tradeable, so there's a small chance you could get a decent amount of coins in return.
What can you get from the 93+ TOTS/TOTS Moments/Shapeshifters Player Pick SBC?
You may want to put this SBC into Room 101, and fittingly there is 101 cards available in it. There are 46 cards that are currently valued higher than the SBC price.
When you consider that you get 4 options to pick from, even if you factor in a higher unlikeliness of getting more expensive cards, you actually have a really good chance of getting a player higher valued than the SBC.
Of course the most sort after players will be TOTS Mbappe, SS Dembele, SS Van Dijk and SS Pogba. Having watched around 100 of these being opened I actually saw both an Mbappe and a Van Dijk be picked up. On the flip side you could be served up some absolute dross. With 19 players valued under 50k, you could get incredibly unlucky.
Is the 93+ TOTS/TOTS Moments/Shapeshifters Player Pick SBC worth it?
The is one of those Schrodinger's SBC situations. Whether it's worth it specifically to you will be determined by what you get. It is both worth it and not worth it until you find out. However as a general average, around half of the picks I've seen opened have had players with higher value than the SBC.
Would I complete this from scratch with my hard earned coins? Absolutely not. Is this an SBC I would throw unused specials into before all those specials become 10k when they're re released into packs? Absolutely.
My verdict: Complete!
