How to Complete Daily SBCs Fast in EA FC Ultimate Team

Published March 18, 2026

Daily SBCs reset every 24 hours, and most days there are two or three of them. If you're completing them by hand every single day, that's 10 to 20 minutes of dragging players around, checking chemistry links, and doing mental math on squad ratings. Over a week, that's over an hour spent on something that should take seconds.

Here's how to speed that up significantly, whether you want to stay fully manual or automate the whole thing.

Why You Should Bother With Daily SBCs

Before we get into the how, let's talk about why daily SBCs are worth your time at all. A lot of players skip them, thinking the rewards aren't great. That's a mistake.

The people with stacked clubs in May aren't just spending FIFA Points. They're the ones who did their dailies every single day since September.

The Manual Approach (And Why It's Painfully Slow)

Here's what completing a daily SBC looks like without any tools. You open the SBC, read the requirements (say: 83 rated, min 2 leagues, at least 1 TOTW), then you go to your squad screen and start searching.

You filter by rating. You scroll through players trying to find ones that give you chemistry. You add a player, watch the rating drop, swap them out, try another combination. You realize you need exactly an 86 to hit the target, but all you have are 85s and 87s. So you start doing the math in your head: if I use two 85s and one 87, does that average out?

It doesn't, because EA's rating formula isn't a simple average. It factors in excess ratings above the mean, which means swapping one player can swing the final number in unexpected ways. Most people don't know the exact formula, so they guess and check until it works.

For a single easy SBC, this takes 3-5 minutes. For a harder one with chemistry and multiple constraints, it can take 10+ minutes. And if there are three dailies that day? You're looking at half an hour of your life, gone.

Tips for Doing It Faster Manually

If you don't want to install anything and prefer to stay manual, these tips will cut your time roughly in half.

1. Always use untradeables first

This is the most important rule. Sort your club by "Untradeable" and start there. These players have zero coin value sitting in your club, so using them in SBCs is pure upside. Save your tradeables for selling or for SBCs where you specifically need them.

2. Sort by rating, work from the target down

If the SBC needs an 83-rated squad, start by adding your 83-rated untradeables. Then fill remaining slots with 82s and 84s to balance. Don't start with 75-rated bronzes and try to work up.

3. Understand the rating formula

EA's rating formula works like this: it calculates the average, then adds a bonus for every player above that average. This means one high-rated player raises the squad more than you'd expect. An 87 and ten 82s gives you an 83-rated squad, not an 82. Use this to your advantage by throwing in one high-rated card instead of trying to find eleven 83s.

4. Use duplicates immediately

When you open packs and get duplicates, don't send them to your club or quick-sell them right away. Check if any daily SBC can use them first. A duplicate 84-rated card that you'd normally discard for 600 coins could save you from buying a player off the market.

5. Keep a mental map of your fodder

After a while, you'll know roughly what you have. "I have a bunch of 82-83 untradeables from La Liga" is enough to quickly fill a squad without scrolling through your entire club every time.

Even with all these tips, you're still spending a few minutes per SBC. If you want to get that down to seconds, you need automation.

What SBC Solver Extensions Actually Do

An SBC solver is a browser extension that plugs into the EA FC Web App. When you open an SBC challenge, it reads the requirements (rating, chemistry, leagues, nations, card types) and scans your club to find the cheapest combination of players that satisfies everything.

Think of it like a calculator, but for squad building. You could do the math by hand, but why would you?

Here's what happens under the hood when you click "solve":

  1. It reads the SBC requirements directly from the game's data. No OCR, no guessing. It knows exactly what rating, chemistry, leagues, and card types are needed.
  2. It scans your club and pulls every player you own, including their rating, position, league, nation, and whether they're tradeable.
  3. It runs an algorithm to find a valid squad. Good solvers prioritize untradeable players and low-value cards so you don't waste coins.
  4. It fills the squad for you. Players get placed into the correct positions with one click. No dragging, no searching.

The whole process takes a few seconds. What used to be a 10-minute puzzle becomes a button press.

Going Even Faster: Batch Solving All Daily SBCs at Once

Solving individual SBCs one at a time is already a huge improvement. But if you want the absolute fastest workflow, batch solving is where it's at.

Batch solving means the extension goes through every incomplete daily SBC, solves each one, fills the squad, and submits it, all automatically. You click one button on the daily SBC set page and walk away. Come back a minute or two later and your dailies are done, packs ready to open.

FC Helper's batch solve (premium) works like this. Batch solve is part of the one-time premium upgrade:

  1. Navigate to the daily SBC set page (not an individual challenge, the set overview).
  2. Click the "Solve All" (premium) button that appears at the bottom.
  3. The extension works through each challenge: solving, filling, and submitting one by one.
  4. When it's done, you'll see all your reward packs waiting in the store.

It respects your preferences too. If you've told it to use untradeables first, exclude certain players, or avoid special cards, batch solve follows those same rules for every challenge in the set.

This is particularly useful on days when EA drops 3-4 daily SBCs, or when you've fallen behind and have repeatable SBCs to grind through. Instead of manually solving each one, you batch the whole thing in under a minute.

What About Concept Players and Market Solutions?

Sometimes your club doesn't have exactly the right players. Maybe you need a TOTW card and you don't have one. Most solver extensions handle this by finding "concept" players from the transfer market and showing you exactly who to buy.

FC Helper takes this a step further. If your club players can't fully solve an SBC, it automatically checks the transfer market for the cheapest concepts that would complete the squad. It fills those slots with concept cards and gives you a purchase button to buy them directly. No alt-tabbing to FUTBIN to figure out what to buy.

Is It Worth Installing an Extension?

If you do daily SBCs regularly, yes. The math is simple:

That's 6+ hours per month you get back. Hours you could spend actually playing the game, working the market, or doing literally anything else.

The extensions are free to try (FC Helper gives you 50 free solves per day), so there's no risk in testing one out. If it saves you time, keep it. If not, uninstall it in two clicks.

Try It Yourself

FC Helper works on Chrome, Firefox, and even Firefox on Android. Install it, open the Web App, navigate to a daily SBC, and hit the solve button. That's it. No account needed, no data leaves your browser.

If you want batch solving and unlimited daily solves, the one-time premium upgrade covers you for the entire game cycle. No monthly fees.
