Ultimate Team players can secure a sought-after FUT Hero card via SBC. Here’s what you need to know about the FIFA 23 Base FUT Hero upgrade SBC, including the cheapest solution.

Since the release of FIFA 23, players have had some exciting opportunities to secure special cards. Each week new TOTW cards are added to Ultimate Team, alongside new promo cards like Out of Position.

EA also provide plenty of opportunities to secure high-quality cards via SBC. Earlier in October a Max 86 Icon upgrade SBC arrived and now players have a chance to complete a Base FUT Hero upgrade SBC.

FUT Heroes are some of FIFA 23’s best cards, so here’s how to complete the Base FUT Hero upgrade SBC, along with the cheapest solution.

Unlike the Max 87 FUT Hero upgrade SBC, this Base FUT Hero upgrade SBC puts the entire pool of Base Heroes up for grabs. World Cup FUT Heroes will make their way to FIFA 23 on November 11 and this is a great opportunity to secure a Base version via SBC.

The Base FUT Hero upgrade SBC is a classic Ultimate Team toss-up. If you’re willing to take a risk you could pack one of the top players in the table above.

Of course, David Ginola and Yaya Toure are the clear and obvious best-case scenarios with a market value of over 1 million. The FUT Hero upgrade SBC will provide an untradeable card, but a player’s market value is a great indication of how they perform in-game.

Marchisio, Di Natale, and Lucio are also fantastic pulls, as players will look to avoid the likes of Ricken, Campos, Crouch, and the slate of other unimpressive FUT Hero cards in FIFA 23.

How to complete FIFA 23 Base FUT Hero upgrade SBC

To complete this SBC, players will need to give up two squads. The solution does not require chemistry but players will need at least one TOTW player.

Given the lack of chemistry requirements you can use players out of position and completely ignore chemistry so long as you meet the 84 and 85 squad ratings.

With a value of around 116,000 coins, the Base FUT Hero upgrade isn’t overpriced, but it remains a big risk for a FIFA 23 FUT Hero.

You can check out the cheapest solutions below.

84-Rated Squad solution – Cost: 48,000

85-Rated Squad solution – Cost: 68,000

  • Min OVR of 86: Min 3 players
  • Squad Rating: Min 85

Most of the FUT Hero cards that players can pull from this SBC are hovering around the 116,000 coin value listed above. However, there are several pulls that will leave players feeling frustrated, so give it some thought before completing the SBC.

FIFA 23 players must act quickly seeing as they have until November 15 to complete the SBC.
