Cheapest 82-Rated Players to Use in FC 26 SBCs

FC 26 features Squad Building Challenges that require players to submit squads meeting specific criteria like overall ratings, chemistry, and league requirements. These challenges reward players with packs and special items that help build their teams. Early in the game, most players haven't unlocked any high-rated cards yet, so an 82-rated player probably sits above a lot of the common golds.

Finding affordable 82-rated players when you're completing multiple challenges or working with a limited coin balance can be tricky, so in this article, we'll explore a complete list of the cheapest 82-rated players that you can use in your next Squad Building Challenges.
