The new Squad Building Challenge (SBC) in Ultimate Team gives you the chance to pack a Hero card with a maximum rating of 87.

EA FC 24 Hero SBC: Best Players
Here you'll find the best players you can get from the Hero SBC. These players may not have a rating higher than 87, but they feel much more powerful ingame because their stats and player models are meta.
This makes them some of the best players in EA FC 24 anyway. Note that prices are for consoles and dynamic. They are changing on a daily basis, that's why we show you the approximate price. Also, prices will probably be dropping once the SBC is out there as more Hero cards will be available.
| HERO | POS | RATING |
| Yaya Touré | CDM, CM, CAM | 87 |
| Ramires | CDM, RM | 86 |
| Claudio Marchisio | CM, CDM, LM | 87 |
| Saeed Al Owairan | RW, RM, CAM, ST | 85 |
| Iván Córdoba | CB | 87 |
| Sidney Govou | ST, CF, RM | 86 |
| Robbie Keane | ST, CF | 86 |
| Joe Cole | RW, RM, CAM, LW | 87 |
| Harry Kewell | LW, LM, CAM | 87 |
| Włodzimierz Smolarek | ST, CF, LW | 86 |
If you pack one of these you are among the lucky ones. You should definitely try this player out as soon as possible and see if he is a good fit for your squad and play style.

EA FC 24 Hero SBC: Mid-Tier Players
Naturally, this SBC isn't just about "top-tier" and "low-end" players. Within, you might discover players who don't receive as much attention as others. Yet, if you happen to pack a Hero that perfectly fills a gap in your lineup, these "mid-tier players" could be invaluable to you.
| HERO | POS | RATING |
| Tomas Brolin | ST, CF, CAM, RW | 87 |
| Ji Sung Park | LW, RM, LM | 86 |
| Joan Capdevila | LB, LWB | 86 |
| Ludovic Giuly | RM, RW | 86 |
| John Arne Riise | LB, LWB, LM | 86 |
| Steve McManaman | RM, RW, LM, CAM | 87 |
| DaMarcus Beasley | LM, LW, LB | 85 |
| Landon Donovan | CF, RM, CAM, ST | 86 |
| Sonia Bompastor | LB, LWB, LW | 86 |
| Dirk Kuyt | CAM, CM | 86 |
| Alex Scott | RB, RWB | 85 |
The more appealing players you find among those mid-tier players, the more incentive you have to complete the SBC.

New Hero SBC In EA FC 24: Is It Worthy To Complete?
Deciding the value of this SBC is tricky; it's essentially a gamble. If you get one of the top players, it's a win. But if you get a lesser player, you may regret not saving your coins.
Not all SBCs have this element of risk. For example, if you're pursuing the David Beckham Icon SBC, you know exactly what high level player you're getting. Alternatively, you should check out the cheap OP Icons we have listed for you.
Of the 37 Heroes available, only ten really stand out.
Keep in mind that 16 of the available Heroes will leave you disappointed, regardless of your current squad situation.
But since it requires only 1 86-rated squad it is a must do. Good luck!
