So, you think you're hardcore? You think you're a true EA Sports FC 25 Ultimate Team aficionado? Let me tell you about a challenge that separates the casuals from the legends. I just stared down the barrel of the most monstrous, wallet-draining, squad-building beast in the game: the Alexis Putellas Liga F Player of the Month SBC. Fourteen tasks! A price tag that could make a billionaire wince! And for what? A single, shimmering 91-rated card. Was I insane? Probably. But let me take you on the wild, coin-burning journey that is securing the queen of midfield herself.

First, let's talk about the sheer scale. FOURTEEN separate squads. This isn't a quick puzzle; it's a full-blown campaign. The requirements start deceptively simple but quickly escalate into pure madness. Do you have a million coins just lying around? I hope so, because that's the entry fee if you're buying every single player from scratch. The table below shows just the beginning of the financial hemorrhage:

Task Key Requirement Approx. Cost My Reaction
Task 1: FC Barcelona 1x FCB, 1x TOTW, 85 Rating 60,500 Coins "Okay, not bad..."
Task 2: Spain 1x Spanish, 1x TOTW, 85 Rating 59,500 Coins "Still manageable."
Task 3: Top Form 1x TOTW, 85 Rating 60,000 Coins "A pattern is emerging... an expensive one."
Tasks 4-6 Three 86-Rated Squads 219,000 Coins "My club's fodder is crying."

And that's just the warm-up! The real pain begins when you hit the 86-rated squads requiring TOTW players (Tasks 7 & 8 for another 168k), followed by the soul-crushing quintuple of 87-rated squads (Tasks 9-13). Doing the math on those five identical high-rated teams made my controller sweat. 101,000 coins... times FIVE. That's 505,000 coins right there! Could my heart take it?

But wait, we're not done! The grand finale, Task 14, demands an 88-rated squad. Just assembling one team of this caliber costs around 140,000 coins. By this point, I was just clicking 'Submit' through tears of joy and financial ruin. When you add it all up? We're talking a cool 1.2 million coins minimum. Is any digital card worth that? I had to find out.

So, what does a million coins buy you in 2026? Let's break down the prize. The 91-rated POTM Putellas is an absolute maestro. Just look at these stats:

  • Pace: 83 (Not a speed demon, but she doesn't need to be)

  • Shooting: 90 (Bangs them in from outside the box)

  • Passing: 91 (The key stat!)

  • Dribbling: 92 (Glues the ball to her feet)

  • Defending/Physical: Solid for a CM

But stats are only half the story. The Playstyles are where she becomes meta-defining. We're talking Tiki Taka+, Incisive Pass, and Pinged Pass. This means every ground pass is a laser-guided missile, every through ball splits the defense, and her first-time passes are works of art. She is the engine of a possession-based dream team.

Now, how do you make this goddess even better? Slap a Hunter chemistry style on her! This boosts her Pace to a very respectable 91 and her Shooting to a lethal 95, transforming her from a playmaker into a genuine goal threat from midfield. If you prefer a more controlled build, Architect or Sniper are fantastic alternatives. The flexibility is incredible!

Oh, and I almost forgot—you don't just get Putellas. Completing this SBC showers you with packs! We're talking:

  • ✅ 3x Small Electrum Players Packs

  • ✅ 3x Small Gold Players Packs

  • ✅ 2x Jumbo Gold Packs (Big potential here!)

  • ✅ 4x Prime Electrum Players Packs

  • ✅ 1x Premium Gold Players Pack (Always exciting)

  • ✅ 1x Mega Pack (The big one!)

These packs are crucial. They're your chance to recoup some of that massive investment. Need high-rated fodder for the next insane SBC? These packs are your lifeline. Dreaming of a random walkout? Cross your fingers and rip them open!

So, the final, million-coin question: Was it worth it?

Let's be real. For the average player, probably not. Her 90-rated gold card is still phenomenal and costs a fraction of the price. This SBC is for the collectors, the completionists, and those who run a full Liga F or Barcelona squad and need that central icon.

For me? As I watch her ping impossible passes to my forwards and dictate the tempo of every Weekend League match, I have to say... yes. The feeling of completing such a monumental challenge, of having a truly end-game midfielder months into the game's cycle, is unparalleled. She's not just a card; she's a trophy. A very, very expensive trophy.

If you're sitting on a mountain of untradeable fodder and a few hundred thousand coins, and you live for beautiful football, this might be your white whale. But if you're scraping coins together? Admire her from afar, and maybe pick up that gold card. Your wallet will thank you. Mine, however, is in therapy.
