FIFA 22 has been a great year for Squad Builder Challenge content - but what are some of the best SBC cards to come out this year?

FIFA 22 is now in its last month until the new title of FIFA 23 comes out. Fans are massively excited after numerous trailer drops from EA which have showcased many new features including the new HyperMotion2 technology within the game, the redesigned set pieces and much more – so it’s certainly an exciting time to be a FIFA fan.

But whilst it's necessary to look forward to the new title, it's also worth reflecting on the year gone by and some of the great content that we've been provided with in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team. We've had promos galore - including Team of the Year, Shapeshifters, TOTS, FUTTIES and so many more, which have provided us with some insane SBCs throughout.

So what better way to cap off the FIFA calendar year than to look back at some of the best SBC cards that EA have produced in FIFA 22? Scroll down below to take a look at them.

Road to the Knockout Nabil Fekir

First off - a player that was insane at the beginning of the game.

Nabil Fekir received an SBC for the RTTK promo, which was very reasonably priced for the time. His card had insane stats already and had the potential to be upgraded, which it eventually was - albeit by one rating.

He's a player that remains in many clubs to this day and destroyed opponents in the early days of FIFA 22.


Flashback Karim Benzema

  • Rating: 86
  • Position: ST
  • Club: Real Madrid
  • League: La Liga

From one Frenchman to another - this time in the form of Flashback Karim Benzema.

He was simply a monster in-game. Coming in again at a decent price, Benzema was a regular offender in Weekend League and led the line for many when he was released in November.

What a player, what a card. Ballon d'Or incoming this year?


Flashback Raphael Varane

EA certainly do have a thing for making massively overpowered French player SBCs.

The next Les Bleus culprit is another flashback - but this time Manchester United's Raphael Varane. He came at a pretty penny in way over a million coins, but at the time he was the only real end-game centre-back and was a must for anyone serious about FIFA 22 Ultimate Team.

He still actually remains in some sides today, despite his release in January - which is staggering.


FUT Birthday Henrikh Mkhitaryan

Finally - a different nationality! Next up is the Armenian wizard, Henrikh Mkhitaryan.

As part of the FUT Birthday promo, Mkhitaryan was certainly a fitting gift to players from EA. The Roma man possessed five-star weak foot and skills, which made him unbelievable to use.

He also came at a very fair price of just under 200k - which made him one of the greatest value SBCs of FIFA 22.


Fantasy Upgrade Daniel Caliguiri

  • Rating: 91
  • Position: RM
  • Club: FC Augsburg
  • League: Bundesliga

Our penultimate best SBC pick - Fantasy Upgrade Daniel Caliguiri.

An early member of the infamous 'Ruud Gullit' gang, Caliguiri was an SBC that came out of nowhere to shock players - but in the best possible way.

His stats were simply too good to ignore and although he wasn't exactly a 'meta' player, FIFA fans were desperate to complete him and to test him out, and they certainly weren't disappointed.

Coming in at just 50k coins, he was a complete steal and deserves his spot on this list.


Flashback Neymar

Our final card is one that sent FIFA fans into an absolute meltdown on release - Flashback Neymar.

This card was one of the most highly sought-after cards in FIFA history - replicating his overpowered former FIFA 14 card that many adored back in the day, players just simply had to have Flashback Neymar.

Nostalgia overcame sense here, and his card wasn't too good. But after all, it's Neymar and players had fun with him over the FIFA year.

How many of these cards did you complete?
