FC 27 fodder strategy: build a club that pays for your SBCs

What to keep, what to store and what to sell so you always have fodder for FC 27 SBCs, with the new Streamlined format in mind.

Fodder is any card you hand in to an SBC rather than play. A steady supply is the difference between doing every good challenge and skipping them because you are out of coins.

Know what each SBC format wants

The TGS fodder rules

  1. Never quick-sell a high-rated untradeable. It costs nothing to keep and it is exactly what rating requirements eat.
  2. Keep duplicates. With Streamlined SBCs accepting them, a duplicate is no longer just a quick-sell.
  3. Sell into demand. Cards that a new SBC suddenly needs often sell for more than they are worth to you. Sell then, rebuy cheaper fodder later.
  4. Stock up before a promo. New promos usually bring new SBCs, and fodder prices often rise when they land. Building a stock beforehand saves coins.
  5. Track tradeability. EA says a much higher share of FC 27 rewards are tradeable, including all Division Rivals pack rewards at launch. Tradeable fodder has a coin value, so spend untradeables first and sell tradeables you do not need.

A simple weekly routine

TGS tip: EA says items stay in your Gallery history after they leave your club, so handing a card in does not erase it from your collection record.
