EA Sports FC 25: Ballon d’Or Challenge SBCs

Ballon d'Or Challenge SBCs

In EA Sports FC 25, a new set of Squad Building Challenges (SBCs) titled the Ballon d’Or Challenge offers players exciting rewards. To complete these challenges, you’ll need to assemble and submit a squad of 11 players. Here’s a comprehensive guide to navigating and finishing these Ballon d’Or SBCs with ease.

Getting Started with the Ballon d’Or Challenge SBCs

The Ballon d’Or Challenge SBCs celebrate football’s prestigious awards, introducing golden-themed cards representing some of this year’s top nominees. Currently, there are two Ballon d’Or SBCs available in EA Sports FC 25, but act quickly—these challenges are time-limited.

Ballon d’Or Challenge SBC 1

For the first challenge, you’ll need to submit an 11-player squad. Each player must meet a minimum quality of Silver, and there are additional specific requirements:

Challenge 1 Requirements:

  • Total Players: 11
  • Players from the Same Country/Region: Maximum of 4
  • Leagues: Minimum of 3 different leagues
  • Gold Players: At least 1
  • Rare Players: At least 2
  • Total Chemistry: Minimum of 14

The easiest way to meet these requirements is by focusing on players from the same league, as this will help achieve the 14 chemistry target. For instance, use players from the same league for your attacking and midfield positions, then include two Rare silver or gold players from other leagues for your defense.

If you prefer not to spend time grinding, you can simply buy each player directly from the Transfer Market. Here’s a suggested lineup for Challenge 1:

Ballon d’Or Challenge SBC 2

The second SBC follows a similar format, requiring an 11-player squad with a minimum quality of Silver, but with slightly tougher requirements:

Challenge 2 Requirements:

  • Total Players: 11
  • Players from the Same League: Maximum of 4
  • Players from 1 Club: Minimum of 2
  • Gold Players: At least 8
  • Total Chemistry: Minimum of 22

To reach the 22 chemistry, use players from top leagues, ideally mixing English, Spanish, German, and French players to balance chemistry and quality. Here’s a lineup that works well for Challenge 2:
