Scout report

Intro to SBCs is a Foundations set in FC 27 Ultimate Team with 4 OVR-based challenges. Each one pays out an untradeable pack, and finishing all four adds a Mixed Players Pack (untradeable) on top. It works as a gentle introduction to how Squad Building Challenges function.

Every challenge uses a 4-3-3 and asks only for OVR brackets. Break Away needs 1 player with a maximum OVR of 64. A Brace needs 2 players at 65+ and 2 at 74 or below. Hat-trick needs 3 and 3 in the same brackets. A Pair Of Pairs needs 4 players at 75+ and 4 at 84 or below. Spare club players cover most of it.

Worth doing for any newer player who wants free untradeable packs and a feel for the SBC screen. The requirements are light, so there is little reason to skip it.
